Katie Price and mum Amy reveal Brexit has delayed Harvey’s Law
Katie Price and her mother Amy Price have said Brexit has caused a delay in their Harvey’s Law campaign.
The former glamour model pledged the initiative in 2018 and even gained support from MPs earlier this year to make cyberbullying a criminal offence.
The mother-daughter duo blasted “blooming Brexit” for delaying the process during a joint appearance on Loose Women.
Amy said: “[It's because of] blooming Brexit because they’re acting like kids as they are. It's delayed and delayed. Today we were meant to go to the Houses of Parliament because Harvey’s Law was going to be debated but it’s been put back to the 29th April.
“We are hoping then it’ll [happen] so anyone who’s had trolling or anything they should contact their MPs. Make sure you go to the debate so we can get it passed through.”
Amy praised her daughter for continually trying to get the law pushed through, admitting she is “very proud”.
Explaining on behalf of her teary-eyed mother, Katie added: “She’s proud I’m doing it. She did say before she died she wants to make sure it’s in place.”
Earlier this year Katie earned the support of MPs after her disabled son Harvey was targeted with abuse.
A petition in support of making cruel online attacks illegal gained over 220,000 signatures and called on the government to create a register of offenders. MPs on the Petition Committee said they want to give disabled people protection under hate crime laws.
Katie’s mother was diagnosed with lung condition idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2017 and was given “two or three years” to live.
At the time, she said: “My mum is dying, it’s that simple. They normally diagnose three to five years but mum has already had to change her life. She’s sold her house because of the stairs.
“She really struggles with them. But she could get a cold now not get rid of it, and die within month – that’s how bad it is. Either way, she hasn’t got long.”
