Keir Starmer has announced that under 16s will be banned from social media sites. Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X will all be part of the ban - but not WhatsApp, according to the government. The Prime Minister says he "is not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children". We want to hear your reaction... do you support the ban? A teenager in Cardiff who has made more than £35,000 reselling vintage football shirts has said she is aiming to graduate university debt-free. 18-year-old Eleri Williams began selling shirts during her GCSEs and has now opened a shop in Cardiff. Meanwhile, the Federation of Small Businesses say small businesses have faced a 52% rise in business rates on average in 2026. So this has inspired us to ask... have you ever started a business? And do you love any small businesses in your area? And Taylor Swift has become the youngest ever woman to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The 36-year-old singer-songwriter was inducted in a ceremony in New York last week, where she described songwriting as "instinctual" for her. Stevie Wonder remains the youngest ever inductee, at just 32 years old when he was given the honour. So we're asking you - who are your favourite songwriters? Whose lyrics mean the most to you? Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110 or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nation's conversation.
