Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to take action to protect children from the harms of social media in "weeks, not months", as the government’s consultation is set to close.
The prime minister told bereaved families that “it is important we act, and we will act” during a meeting in Downing Street on Tuesday afternoon.
Speaking to broadcasters after the meeting, Lisa Kenevan, who believes her son Isaac died after taking part in an online stunt known as the blackout challenge, said: “We do not want this group to grow any further."
“He also said to us it would be a case of weeks that we hear something rather than months," said Ellen Roome, whose 14-year-old son Jools Sweeney died in 2022.
