Is Nigel Farage really “siding with Jimmy Savile“ by opposing the online safety bill?
Manage episode 497230410 series 3386061
Nigel Farage is no stranger to harsh criticism from his political rivals, but never before has he been linked to prolific paedophile Jimmy Savile.
That is, until now.
Cabinet minister Peter Kyle has accused the Reform UK leader of being “on the side” of Savile after Farage said he would repeal the government’s online safety act.
Farage has now demanded an apology - but Kyle’s doubled down.
Are Labour brushing over the genuine unease that many people have about the online safety act? And is their rhetoric making Farage look like the grown up in the room?
Later, did Starmer do enough to defend his friend Sadiq Khan after Trump called him a “nasty person?”
