It’s right that we take a different approach for under-16s and under-18s because, of course, as young people move from childhood into adulthood there’s a different set of considerations.
I think it represents just a continuation of the nonsense that we’ve seen in recent days from the Conservative Party. It’s a manufactured smear on my family.
