Rishi Sunak has intervened in a row between Kemi Badenoch and actor David Tennant, saying the Doctor Who star is “the problem”.
Tennant suggested at the British LGBT Awards last week that he wanted a world where the equalities minister “doesn’t exist any more”, and said she should “shut up”.
The prime minister posted on X, external that freedom of speech was the “most powerful feature of our democracy”, adding: “If you’re calling for women to shut up and wishing they didn’t exist, you are the problem.”
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer told broadcasters he “wouldn’t have engaged the way he (Tennant) did,” adding that “robust” discussions should be respectful.
LOL! Touché! ;)
A friend says that Sunak doesn’t actually want to be PM and he hates the Tories. That’s why he’s deliberately making numb skull moves like this.
Oh how very 1D chess of him. I’m not sure he’s capable of a tactic that sophisticated, personally I’m of the opinion he’s just that useless.
“Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by Sunak is a colossal fuckwit who even lost to Liz Truss.”
🤣
