A poll is a poll - so we talk over three issues: - Israel (and now America's) bombing of Iran, The government u-turn on a national inquiry into grooming gangs, & The Welfare Reform bill.

With several countries around the world enacting bans on smartphones in schools, and on social media access for children, we ask -

Is their pervasive use having an detrimental impact on learning, concentration, mental health?

Should the UK also instigate a ban?
