    The US has warned that censorship of free speech is getting worse in the UK. On Tuesday, the US state department released its annual Human Rights Report, claiming there are “credible reports of serious restrictions on freedom of expression” in Britain. The “human rights situation worsened” in Britain in 2024, the report said, frequently referring to the period after Sir Keir Starmer won the election last July. It also criticised the Online Safety Act. Following the Southport attack last year, the UK Government “repeatedly intervened to chill speech”, the report said. Although not mentioned by name in the report, the...

    Lucy Connolly, a mother jailed for a tweet about the Southport attacks, should not be in prison, Nigel Farage said.

Mr Farage, the leader of Reform UK, said the sentence was “absolutely excessive”. “I want to make it absolutely clear: Lucy Connolly should not be in prison,” he told a party event in central London on Tuesday. “The sentence that was given to her was absolutely excessive and while she should not...

    The White House has said it is “monitoring” the case of Lucy Connolly in an escalation of free speech tensions with Sir Keir Starmer. State department officials are examining the treatment of Connolly, the wife of a Conservative councillor, who was jailed for 31 months over a social media post about the Southport attacks. Judges threw out an appeal brought by the 42-year-old last week, meaning she will not be released before August. Campaigners raised her case with Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, as part of a wider effort to challenge what they regard as draconian hate speech...

    The wife of a Conservative councillor has been jailed for 31 months after pleading guilty to publishing written material to stir up racial hatred after the Southport stabbings. Former childminder Lucy Connolly published a post on her X account, which she later deleted, that called for "mass deportation now", and for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire, adding: "If that makes me racist, so be it." Her comments were viewed 310,000 times and reposted by 940 other X users. She wrote the post on the day three young girls were killed in a knife attack at a...
