The Netflix drama isn’t just a critical smash – its tale of social media-fuelled violence to women by young boys has forced a national debate in the UK that might lead to genuine political change…

Labour MP Anneliese Midgley has called for the series to be screened in parliament and in schools, arguing that it could help counter misogyny and violence against women and girls.

Starmer added that violence against girls was “abhorrent … a growing problem … we have to tackle it”.
