Nigel Farage’s testimony at the US House Judiciary Committee, accusing Labour of running an “authoritarian censorship regime,” has intensified UK free speech debates.
Citing Graham Linehan’s arrest over X posts and Lucy Connolly’s imprisonment for racial hatred, Farage argued the UK penalizes “unpleasant” speech.
Keir Starmer branded him “unpatriotic” for advocating US sanctions, while JK Rowling and Elon Musk criticized Linehan’s arrest as excessive.
Conservative MPs like Robert Jenrick called for police to focus on crimes like knife violence, echoing Starmer’s priorities.
Shami Chakrabarti and Sir Max Hill urged a review of vague speech laws, warning of public confusion.
Starmer rejected censorship claims, emphasizing serious crime enforcement.
Farage’s absence from Parliament for the US trip drew further criticism, highlighting tensions between free expression and public safety.
The debate underscores broader concerns about Labour’s governance as Starmer navigates a challenging political landscape.
