Sir Keir Starmer poses the “biggest threat to free speech” in British history, Nigel Farage has claimed.
The Reform UK leader accused the Prime Minister of wanting to use the recent far-Right riots in Britain to restrict civil liberties amid concerns about the impact of potential new regulation.
Sir Keir is considering placing a duty on social media companies to restrict “legal but harmful” content, while children as young as five will be taught to spot fake news online.
After the Southport stabbings last month, Mr Farage speculated whether the “truth is being withheld” amid speculation online about the identity of the suspect.
Far-Right riots in the Merseyside town were sparked by false claims onlinethat the killing of three young girls was carried out by an asylum seeker who had arrived in Britain last year.
