Well, not entirely: senior Democrat committee member Jamie Raskin asks why they are hearing from Farage and not from people who have suffered real censorship in Russia or China. He also links Reform UK to the AfD and National Rally. Farage won't like that.
Jamie Raskin is also laying into censorship and suppression of the media under Trump. It's quite the opening statement.
"There is not a free speech crisis in the UK. Keir Starmer has not shut down GB News," Ruskin says. Farage seems "most at home with the autocrats and dictators of this world", he adds. If he's serious about the Online Safety Act, he should be in parliament, he says, not here.
