Musk's X 'disgusting' for shunning meeting, says minister - as she vows more laws governing internet
The culture secretary has told the Electoral Dysfunction podcast that more must be done to keep children safe online. She insisted the government was going to "step up".
The culture secretary has told Sky News it was "disgusting" for X to skip a meeting over recent social media attacks on the UK's lifeboat charity - as she vowed to keep introducing legislation governing the internet.
Speaking to the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, Lisa Nandy told Sky News political editor Beth Rigby that X boss Elon Musk did not send a representative to a recent summit discussing the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
Something about Lisa Nandy attracts ridicule and a sense of weary contempt like iron filings to a magnet. Not that she's out on her own in that, but George Moore summed it up.
It is the shallow and the insincere that inspire ridicule and contempt,

She's the girl who wrote a prolier-than-thou article about how overwhelmingly foreign and excluding the House of Commons felt to her and her northern classmates on a visit.
She forgot to mention that her grandfather sat in the Lords.
When I was a child , in the distant past, I learned to read before I went to school. My parents cast an eye over what I was reading. That is being good parents. Are modern parents now too busy to watch their own kids and need a government minister to do it for them ?
dearieme - yes, she keeps forgetting to mention her grandfather and plays down how posh she is. I haven't read her prolier-than-thou article, but it sounds very Lisa Nandy.
John - our neighbour who has two young children thinks there is an epidemic of poor parenting. Maybe there is a minority but influential parental attitude that bringing up children is the school's job. We certainly hear of some who seem to have that attitude.
My daughter is a primary school teacher and she says that a large percentage of parents do not put in any effort in helping with their children's reading development.
They tell her that it is not their job, in their usual angry and hobby manner.
Mike - that's what we hear from teachers we have in the family. As you say, parents don't want to know.
