Newsnight

Available for over a year

The battle to keep children safe online becomes an extraordinary war of words offline, as a Cabinet minister says Nigel Farage's criticism of the Online Safety Act puts him on the same side as Jimmy Savile. We'll speak to one of Reform UK's top lieutenants, Zia Yusuf. Plus, after an emergency Cabinet meeting Sir Keir Starmer says the UK could recognise the state of Palestine within weeks. What difference will it make, and is it more about domestic politics than the international crisis? With Matt Chorley.
