Nigel Farage shouts down ‘pig-headed' Democrat
'I think the intervention of Democrats who don't have a dog in that fight was maybe too much for [Mr Farage] to handle, but we did want to make some general points about the freedom of speech,' he said.
Mr Farage has pledged to repeal the Act if Reform wins the next election, prompting Peter Kyle, the British science and technology secretary, to accuse him of endangering children and siding with the notorious child abuser Jimmy Savile.
The Reform leader has called the claim a 'disgusting' smear and claims the 'Orwellian law' will clamp down on free speech while failing to protect children.
US warns UK to stop threatening tech companies
The White House has warned Sir Keir to stop threatening American tech companies as a backlash mounts to the online safety law.
The legislation allows the Government to impose fines worth millions of pounds on companies such as X if they fail to remove harmful content from their platforms.
A senior US State Department official told The Telegraph on Thursday that they would 'monitor developments in the UK with great interest and concern'.
Separately, Mr Farage added to the pressure on Mr Trump to release the Epstein files as he became the president's latest ally to call for complete transparency over the paedophile financier.
Mr Trump's administration has so far refused to release all the documents it holds on Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison after being charged with sex trafficking in 2019, prompting a backlash from supporters in the process.
'I think this is one area where Donald has sort of put himself into conflict with much of his own base,' Mr Farage told radio station LBC.

Trump administration weighs fate of $9M stockpile of contraceptives feared earmarked for destruction
President Donald Trump 's administration says it is weighing what to do with family planning supplies stockpiled in Europe that campaigners and two U.S. senators are fighting to save from destruction. Concerns that the Trump administration plans to incinerate the stockpile have angered family planning advocates on both sides of the Atlantic. Campaigners say the supplies stored in a U.S.-funded warehouse in Geel, Belgium, include contraceptive pills, contraceptive implants and IUDs that could spare women in war zones and elsewhere the hardship of unwanted pregnancies. U.S. State Department deputy spokesman Tommy Pigott said Thursday in response to a question about the contraceptives that 'we're still in the process here in terms of determining the way forward." "When we have an update, we'll provide it," he said. Belgium says it has been talking with U.S. diplomats about trying to spare the supplies from destruction, including possibly moving them out of the warehouse. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Florinda Baleci told The Associated Press that she couldn't comment further 'to avoid influencing the outcome of the discussions.' The Trump administration's dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development, which managed foreign aid programs, left the supplies' fate uncertain. Pigott didn't detail the types of contraceptives that make up the stockpile. He said some of the supplies, bought by the previous administration, could 'potentially be' drugs designed to induce abortions. Pigott didn't detail how that might impact Trump administration thinking about how to deal with the drugs or the entire stockpile. Costing more than $9 million and funded by U.S taxpayers, the family planning supplies were intended for women in war zones, refugee camps and elsewhere, according to a bipartisan letter of protest to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio from U.S. senators Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat, and Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski. They said destroying the stockpile 'would be a waste of U.S. taxpayer dollars as well as an abdication of U.S. global leadership in preventing unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions and maternal deaths — key goals of U.S. foreign assistance.' They urged Rubio to allow another country or partner to distribute the contraceptives. Concerns voiced by European campaigners and lawmakers that the supplies could be transported to France for incineration have led to mounting pressure on government officials to intervene and save them. The executive branch of the European Union, through spokesman Guillaume Mercier, said Friday that 'we continue to monitor the situation closely to explore the most effective solutions.' The U.S. branch of family planning aid group MSI Reproductive Choices said it offered to purchase, repackage and distribute the stock at its own expense but 'these efforts were repeatedly rejected.' The group said the supplies included long-acting IUDs, contraceptive implants and pills, and that they have long shelf-lives, extending as far as 2031. Aid group Doctors Without Borders said incineration would be 'an intentionally reckless and harmful act against women and girls everywhere.' Charles Dallara, the grandson of a French former lawmaker who was a contraception pioneer in France, urged President Emmanuel Macron to not let France 'become an accomplice to this scandal.' 'Do not allow France to take part in the destruction of essential health tools for millions of women,' Dallara wrote in an appeal to the French leader. 'We have a moral and historical responsibility.' ___ Leicester reported from Paris. Matthew Lee contributed from Washington, D.C.

Solar farm in Beverley approved despite 'harm' to countryside
Plans for a new solar farm have been approved following an appeal despite the Planning Inspectorate acknowledging they would cause harm to the countryside's character. East Riding of Yorkshire Council turned down the application for the Carr Farm Solar Farm development in Beverley in the Planning Inspectorate has now approved the proposals for the farm, which will sit for 40 years on land to the south of Tickton and power around 15,000 homes annually.A decision notice explained the council originally rejected the plans because of concerns about the farm "eroding the intrinsic rural character of the countryside". "Whilst the benefits of renewable energy provision are given significant weight in the planning balance, it is not considered that this benefit would outweigh the significant cumulative and visual harm to the countryside in this case," the notice while the inspector recognised that the development would cause harm to the countryside's character, this was seen to be outweighed by the benefits the scheme will deliver, according to the Local Democracy Reporting McManus, from the East Riding Against Solar Expansion (ERASE) campaign group, said they were "disappointed" by the decision when other similar appeals for solar farms have been rejected by the Planning said: "We're very disappointed given that the Planning Inspectorate has just refused an appeal on a similar size project at Ashford in Kent. East Stour Solar Farm faced strong opposition to the proposal by EDF, from Ashford Borough Council (ABC). "The Planning Inspectorate agreed with the council. East Riding Council should now look at the case and see what lessons might be learned."The Ashford decision illustrates that this process is not a rubber stamp, as many have suggested."Plans for the 49.9MW solar farm in Beverley, the site of which comprises over 100 hectares across seven fields of agricultural land, were first submitted to the council in approval comes just days after plans have emerged for another solar farm, this time on land north of Beverley. Mark Hogan, founder of BOOM Power, said the project "reinforces the importance of renewable energy in meeting the UK's ambitious climate targets, while thoughtfully addressing environmental and community concerns".Listen to highlights from Hull and East Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, watch the latest episode of Look North or tell us about a story you think we should be covering here.

The secret Labour plot to silence migrant hotel critics: Whitehall internet monitoring unit complains to social media giants over posts criticising asylum seekers, immigration and two-tier policing
A secretive Whitehall unit complained to US tech giants about social media posts criticising asylum hotels, immigration and 'two-tier' policing, it has emerged. Officials working for Technology Secretary Peter Kyle warned TikTok about videos with 'concerning narratives' and claimed they were 'exacerbating tensions' on the streets. Emails sent by the Government's National Security and Online Information Team (NSOIT) during last year's Southport riots have been obtained by a US congressional committee. Campaign group Big Brother Watch has called for an investigation into the unit, claiming the emails show it is 'spying on speech that is critical of the police and Government policies'. The messages emerged as ministers continue to fight claims from US politicians - including allies of Donald Trump - that the UK's Online Safety Act is censoring social media. They will also reignite claims Labour is seeking to 'silence' critics of its continued use of asylum hotels at an estimated cost of £3billion a year. Ministers have vowed to move all asylum seekers out of hotels by the next election, but many doubt this can be achieved. NSOIT was previously known as the Counter Disinformation Unit and set up during Covid to monitor anti-lockdown campaigners. One post flagged by a civil servant working for the unit included a photograph of a rejected Freedom of Information request about the location of asylum hotels and a reference to asylum seekers as 'undocumented fighting-age males'. They added: 'Just to flag the context: hotels for asylum seekers have already seen targeted protests and there are significant risks of these becoming violent. 'Home Office colleagues have been in touch with us about concerns surrounding this type of content. Please could this be assessed by the Trust and Safety team? There is a definite sense of urgency from here.' The emails, obtained by the Telegraph, were sent on August 3 and 4 last year - the worst weekend of the riots that saw crowds attacking asylum hotels around the UK. Violence erupted after false claims circulated on social media that the perpetrator of the Southport stabbings was a Muslim asylum seeker. In another email over the same weekend, an official told TikTok that users were posting about 'two-tier' policing - a reference to the claim that white protesters were treated more harshly than ethnic minorities. The email said: 'I am sure you will not be surprised at the significant volumes of anti-immigrant content directed at Muslim and Jewish communities as well as concerning narratives about the police and a ''two-tier'' system we are seeing across the online environment.' Officials asked TikTok to explain 'any measures you have taken in response…as soon as you are able to'. The private exchange came days before Elon Musk criticised 'two-tier Keir' - a phrase repeated by Nigel Farage and Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick. A third email raised concerns about a video posted on August 5 of Pakistani men celebrating on a street with the caption: 'Looks like Islamabad but it's Manchester'. A civil servant suggested it had been shared 'in order to incite fear of the Muslim community'. None of its emails asked for the posts to be deleted but requested TikTok to explain how it was dealing with similar content. They were obtained by Jim Jordan, chair of the US House of Representatives' judiciary committee, which issued a subpoena to TikTok to share messages 'regarding the company's compliance with foreign censorship laws'. He said: 'In recent years, UK citizens have become increasingly fed up with the double standard in the UK. Mean tweets get you a longer prison sentence than many violent offences.' Labour was recently criticised for continuing a 'cover-up' of a secret resettlement programme for Afghans put at risk by a data leak in 2022. Civil servants warned that sharing the information could create 'a risk of disorder'. A Government spokesman said: 'Free speech is a cornerstone of our democracy. The Online Safety Act protects it. 'Platforms have a duty to uphold freedom of expression, and the Act places no curbs whatsoever on what adults can say and see on the internet - unless it is something that would already be illegal, offline. 'The Government has no role in deciding what actions platforms take on legal content for adults – that is a matter for them, according to their own rules. 'However we make no apologies for flagging to platforms content which is contrary to their own terms of service and which can result in violent disorder on our streets, as we saw in the wake of the horrific Southport attack.'
