The House of Lords has backed a move to ban under-16s in the UK from social media platforms. The bill has gained a lot of political momentum after Australia's move last month to also ban under 16s from 10 online platforms. Do you back the ban? Actress Mia Mckenna Bruce has admitted that she feels taken more seriously when she uses a fake posh accent... Do you feel as though yours has ever held you back? The Southbank Centre, the UK’s biggest arts hub, is bringing their project ‘A Poet In Every Port’ to Caernarfon in order to celebrate it’s 75th anniversary. The project aims to showcase the magic of poetry in every coastal community in the UK. But what does poetry mean to you? Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110, or Text 8 10 12.
