Porn is an overlooked driver of Britain’s relationship recession.
Ever more extreme material is quietly reaching young people, including children, with links to erectile dysfunction and strangulation.
Men and women both see the harm.
We need to talk about it.

Our panel with @allchilduk on building a preventative state for children takes place THIS Wednesday from 17:30.
Watch LIVE on X from 17:30 or on YouTube👇
We’ll look at how we can avoid the crises that younger generation’s face through policy - drawing on Harlem Children's Zone’s place-based approach in New York.
We will now be joined by Susannah Storey, Permanent Secretary at @DCMS 🏛️
How do we stop Britain's most vulnerable children from becoming tomorrow’s struggling adults❓
A panel discussion with @AllChildUK, taking lessons from @HCZOrg in New York.

Both genders are becoming increasingly tempted by a career in porn, seen as more accessible and socially acceptable than ever before. The CSJ found that almost 3 million young Brits have considered becoming 'OnlyFans stars’.
OnlyFans is a host site for predominantly explicit content creators.
None of this means young people want love any less. Single people who are looking for a relationship are nearly twice as likely to watch porn several times a week as those who are not. Porn is not replacing the desire for connection; it is a poor substitute for it.
And every hour spent with the substitute is an hour not spent learning the harder, richer business of real intimacy.

Today it’s just 2%.
Online dating promises endless choice. But is it time Gen Z looked up from their screens?

An education system not adequately preparing young people for work, and a welfare system not doing enough to help them into it.
Britain cannot afford to keep wasting the potential of a generation.
As Labour MPs made clear yesterday, the Government must tackle both challenges head-on 👇
🏆 12 small charity finalists. 250 guests. One night.

Workers will pay £33 billion more in stealth taxes by 2031.
But every penny of this is set to be swallowed by rising benefit costs.
Leaving welfare unreformed is eroding consent for the system there for those most in need, while shredding Britain’s social contract.
Relationships in the UK are on the decline.
Today, we reveal that a 25 year old is 26 times more likely to live with his mum than his wife.
Why does it matter? Because the quality of our relationships is one of the strongest predictors of a happy, healthy life.
New project (1/3)👇
📈Nearly 1 million young people are now out of work, education or training, up 230,000 since before the pandemic. Yet apprenticeship starts among under-19s have fallen by 40% in a decade.
With new Senior Fellow Lord Sewell, we held Big Listen Yorkshire with over 60 employers, charities, educators and young people together to talk about fixing the route into work. Thank you to @alexsobel MP, @Jason15Robinson , @evewagg and everyone who joined us.
💼A total of 98 policy measures were announced in yesterday's budget - a record number.
But how many of these policies address the most urgent questions facing our economy and society?
@JoeShalam weighs in on our latest Substack out now.
