The US vice-president has warned the UK not to go down the 'dark path' of censorship during his meeting with the Foreign Secretary yesterday.
Appearing alongside David Lammy, JD Vance warned that the West had become 'too comfortable' with blocking ideas rather than engaging with diverse opinions.
Referring to his previous intervention, Mr Vance said he had 'raised some concerns about our friends this side of Atlantic' after warning that free speech is being eroded in the UK.
Speaking at the Foreign Secretary's grace-and-favour home in Chevening, Kent, yesterday, Mr Vance said: 'I've raised concerns about free speech in the United States of America.
'The entire collective West - our transatlantic relationship, our Nato allies, certainly the United States under the Biden administration - got a little too comfortable with censoring rather than engaging with a diverse range of opinions.'
