Emma Foody

Labour (Co-op) — Cramlington and Killingworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 April 2025

Debate

UK Democracy: Impact of Digital Platforms

Contribution

My hon. Friend is making an incredibly impassioned speech, which comes from a place of real experience. As has been mentioned, though, we see an incredibly stark divide in the younger generation. Recent research on generation Z has shown that it is more polarised than ever, with over 25% of young people preferring authoritarianism. Does he agree that it is time to ensure that our young people can access nuanced debate?
