The uk gov are watching Australia and the evidence to see the effect of their new ban in practice.
This is normal practice for any government.
No news here. Just bait by a right wing Conservative Party mouthpiece.
For those outside the UK the Telegraph should not be considered unbiased news.

They really don't claim to be anything else than conservative either, and them being conservative doesn't logically make it wrong either does it?
Twitter is really bad for the Labour party because it allows young people to hear dissenting views and criticism that you won't see in large parts of the media.
Labour politicians has done some shocking and outrageous things recently, and are doing terrible in recent polls, most likely because people can go on Twitter and Tiktok and get hear criticism of them.

Labour seems to be attacking everyone, from the elderly, to the disabled, to farmers to migrants. A very wide range.

Like digital ID, Starmer has taken this from some international discussion you weren't invited to.
Then they pretend either they came up with it or the public wanted it.
"No news here. Just bait by a right wing Conservative Party mouthpiece."
Labour and the Tories are enacting the same policies. If the Tories were in they would be pushing this to. They hate free speech and the right to protest as much as Labour does. Their elder statesmen William Hague and Tony Blair are both pushing this stuff, as hard as each other. Don't fall for the two party shell game like the Americans do. The current Labour Party under Starmer is not any more left wing than the Tories are. The idea that they are at opposite ends of the room is ridiculous.
