SECONDARY school pupils will be shown hit drama Adolescence in a bid to stop young boys being groomed into violence.

Keir Starmer met with the creators of the Netflix crime drama - which follows the story of a teen accused of murder - to discuss how to prevent boys being dragged into a "whirlpool of hatred and misogyny".

The PM invited co-writer Jack Thorne and producer Jo Johnson to Downing Street as well as charities and young people, who shared their experiences of harmful content.
