Katie does politics

Katie kickstarted the year by going to Parliament with her son Harvey. The mum-of-five was campaigning against internet trolling, which Harvey continues to be a victim of. She said that she had already been successful in having two people arrested because of trolling, explaining: "I got two people arrested, (the police) seized all their computers, they seized everything, took them quite far, but then it got to the point where they can't charge them with nothing because there's nothing in place for it". Could the KP be the next prime minister?
