Technology Secretary Peter Kyle is at the centre of a row about the Online Safety Act, after accusing Nigel Farage of being 'on the side of predators' in his opposition to the changes.
In a livestream, the Reform UK leader reiterated his demand for an apology from Peter Kyle, after the Technology Secretary accused him of being on the side of "extreme pornographers".
Mr Farage said: "I've asked for an apology. We're not going to get one. I think perhaps the best thing we can do is to sign the petition to repeal the Online Safety Act. That's what I'm going to do today. I think it makes sense. I'm deeply worried about the implications for free speech.
"And what is absolutely clear to me is a problem that runs right through British Government, is that legislation passed by the Conservatives, supported by Labour, no doubt aided and abetted all the way through by civil servants, none of them have got a clue what they are doing.
"With people like Zia (Yusuf), we've actually got the real expertise.
"So Mr Kyle, can I have an apology, please?"
