KEIR Starmer has vowed to tackle the crisis of young people struggling with unprecedented levels of isolation.

The Prime Minister today launches a £500million National Youth Strategy - the first in 15 years - designed to "turn the tide on the lost decade of young kids left as collateral damage".

Ministers said the plans will aim to ensure 500,000 more young people across England have access to a trusted adult outside their home as well as resources on how to stay safe online as part of the plans.
