Labour vows to tackle rising tide of sexism in classrooms - caused by internet personalities like Andrew Tate - to prevent 'generation of misogynists'

In an exclusive interview with the Mail, Bridget Phillipson warned there would be a 'generation of misogynists' without urgent action to stem the 'rising tide' of sexism in schools.
She said a Labour government would train boys to support classmates in challenging unacceptable attitudes and behaviour through a peer mentoring scheme.
Ms Phillipson said she was 'really worried' that the rise of people such as Andrew Tate, the controversial social media influencer and self-styled 'king of toxic masculinity', is affecting the actions of young people in schools.
'I want to make sure that we have a generation of boys and young men who grow up respecting women, rather than the growing levels of misogyny we are seeing at the moment,' she said.
