There’s something faintly absurd about asking a PM that’s been in office for 8 weeks why they haven’t sorted everything out yet. Of course -
she had to invoke the fast track riot prosecutions - which I’m sure all the far right will be pleased about

There are 1000 kids in my secondary school. Some of them are carers. Some are in the cadets. Some play football at county level. Some pick up litter & mow their neighbours lawns. No one I know has ever told a kid to be ashamed of their country or change gender. Grow up.

This is largely nonsense - anyone who’s been in teaching over the last 20 years will tell you that kids are getting content online & from their peers that is far beyond anything that’s habitually delivered in PSHE. And the gender ideology thing is a bit of a folk devil too.
