I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

A ban would not be easy, suggesting that social media companies would oppose it, but said that it 'must' and 'will' happen.

I feel a deep sense of duty to remain in my post, not vanity, not stubbornness.

We hope to pass regulation before Christmas, and therefore to bring the ban into force in the early part of next year, probably about springtime, so we can move a real pace here.

People rightly expect action, and this government will always stand up for parents and put children first.

I’m not prepared to compromise on the safety of our children. That is why this ban must happen, that is why it will happen.

This is not something I do lightly, and I will not present it as cost-free, as if social media has brought no benefits to young people, because clearly that is wrong.

But it is clear to me that a full ban is the right choice.

Do we truly believe that social media creates a happy environment for our children? Do we truly believe it's a place they can feel safe?

But government is always about choices, and it’s clear to me that a full ban is the right choice.

Social media is making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse children and could even be harming their mental health – exposing them to content that is dangerous, because that’s what grabs the attention.

This is a big moment for our country.

Teenagers drink before they should, but we do not then say, ‘in which case let us abandon any attempt to stop them buying alcohol’, we say ‘let’s improve the enforcement of what we’re doing’.

This is a line in the sand. Tech giants had their chance and failed, but we’re stepping in to protect children, back parents and set a new normal for future generations.

I come to it as a parent myself. I know exactly the fears that we all feel when we’re thinking about this issue.

How we keep kids safe online is one of the biggest debates of our time. As a dad, I know every parent wants their child to grow up safe and happy.

This is a choice about whose side we’re on: families across the country, or a status quo that isn’t working.

I'm not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children.

The tech giants have had every chance to clean up their act. They chose profit over protection.

We have the G7 starting tomorrow. We have lots of issues to discuss in a volatile world, but to be doing that with you and where we share values, approach, thinking, and where our countries are working ever more closely together is a real…

Slightly mixed. She’s been to-ing and fro-ing a bit, to be fair.

I think every child, every parent wants that, and, if we ask ourselves hand on heart, do we really think that social media is making our children happy or creating a happy environment?

Actually, I don’t think it overall makes children happier.
