Young men, their role models, misogyny, and masculinity were being debated yesterday by actors, politicians and a former England football manager. Sir Gareth Southgate says young men are facing a decline in real-world communities and mentors - and that the void left behind is being filled by manipulative and toxic influencers. He says boys are increasingly isolated and in crisis - they're spending too much time gaming, gambling and watching pornography. Meanwhile in parliament the new Netflix drama starring - and co-written by - Stephen Graham was bought up at Prime Ministers Questions. The story in Adolescence shines a light on the corrosive impact of social media and misogynist influencers on some teenage boys.

Stephen asks – what do we do about teenage boys?
