According to The Guardian, those close to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer have indicated that the social media prohibition for under-16s, which he unveiled yesterday, is intended to be part of his "political legacy" should he be removed from office.

Elsewhere, the i Paper's reporting on the G7 summit in France highlights that Sir Keir and US President Donald Trump have met in person for the first time since the prime minister declined to join the president's conflict with Iran.
