Went to look at the purple sprouting broccoli and when I touched the
plants a swarm of very small white flies (not sure what else t call
them, small and quick so hard to see) flew around, The back of some of
the leaves were also covered in a thin patchy white powder (best thing
to call it). Spraying with bug clearer did not really seem to do anything.

What are they, and will they make the broccoli inedible or dangerous?

Thanks

Whitefly, and no. They are a nuisance, but no more. Ignore them.

They are Cabbage whitefly and are (can be) distasteful but not
inedible/dangerous.

They are NOT glasshouse whitefly and only live on brassicas.

Maybe try spraying with a (mildly) soapy solution or just live with
MINOR infestations.

Many thanks to you who responded. In manyyears of growing, it is
something I've never come across before (although I vaguely remember I
might have had a bit last year, but certainly not as much). Will keep
spraying to try and eliminate, BUT I wonder if the leaves that have gone
into the compost bin could keep things going into next year?
