Labour MP Jess Phillips has criticized Nigel Farage for opposing the Online Safety Act, accusing him of aligning himself with extreme pornographers and likening his stance to that of the late Jimmy Savile. Phillips contends that Farage's plan would enable harmful online content. Farage has responded by calling for a proper public debate on the Online Safety Act and expressed willingness to collaborate on effective technological solutions, while refusing to engage in personal attacks. Additionally, Farage has voiced opposition to Downing Street's digital ID proposals, citing distrust of big government and concerns that such measures could infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens. He also made a remark suggesting that former Prime Minister Tony Blair might support microchipping the population.
