Zia Yusuf has responded to Peter Kyle’s comments this morning saying Nigel Farage is on the side of Jimmy Savile:
“To use that allegation against Nigel is one of the most appalling and disgusting things I have seen in the political arena in my lifetime and I think it is upon him to apologise.”
Yusuf went on to attack Kyle as a ‘dinosaur’ with no experience in tech:
“And whatever horrors you think your child is already looking at, I promise you as a parent, once they go into that rabbit hole, it is your worst nightmare as a parent. And if you have, for example, BT or Sky, one of the child safety locks that you have, if you’re a parent, those VPNs defeat them because it basically hides the metadata. So it defeats all your existing child safety locks. The person in question who’s using these slurs, I just want to make this point, has never worked in tech. From what I can tell, he’s never even worked in the private sector. And this is the problem. You have MPs and politicians who are frankly dinosaurs do not understand the world that they’re trying to legislate. And the kids whom they are trying to protect running rings around them.”
Kyle has doubled down. Heat on the Science Secretary here – Starmer will have to defend the comments…
Red Wall Labour backbencher Jonathan Brash told GB News that Starmer should resign:
“I’m completely fed up about it, and I think it’s got to the point now where I genuinely think that, as far as the Prime Minister is concerned, it’s not a case of if, it’s when.”
