Farage condemns UK’s ‘authoritarian censorship regime’ ahead of giving evidence at US congress - UK politics live

Reform UK leader to speak about Online Safety Act at House judiciary committee; government set to announce date of budget at PMQs later

Good morning. It is the first PMQs since July, and with the government set to announce the date of the budget today (Wednesday 26 November, if HuffPost UK is right), you would expect Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch to get stuck into a debate about the economy, and taxation.

But it might end up as a free speech day at Westminster, as a result of the conflation of two related issues.

On the question of civil liberties, Britain has, unfortunately, now lost her way.

I will do my part, as a participant in UK democracy, to help our country find its way back to the traditional freedoms which have long bound together our two countries in friendship. In the meantime, Congress should draw bright lines: British free speech rules, applicable to Britons, are made in Britain, and American speech rules, applicable to Americans, are made in America.
