Peter Kyle frustrated with act inherited from Tories and says parliament should legislate faster to protect public

Peter Kyle said he had given a “very personal commitment to making sure that everybody – particularly people with vulnerabilities, and every child is vulnerable – has protection”, after Ian Russell, whose daughter killed herself after viewing harmful content on social media, told Keir Starmer the UK was “going backwards” on online safety.
