Bill Clinton once said that regulating the internet would be like ‘nailing jello to a wall’, but in the UK new rules are on the way. Ed Vaizey looks at whether they can end the Wild West on the web with a former tech minister and one of Ofcom's online safety directors.
Plus Columnists: Libby Purves and Tim Montgomerie discuss the government's plans to let workers disconnect, the Tory leadership contest and the death of the theatre interval.
