Corrections: David Tenant did NOT say that Badenoch, “should be silenced,” or anything even close to that. “I just wish she’d shut up,” is a personal desire, not a statement of intent, or a suggested mandate. That misinterpretation; misrepresentation matters! There is a gulf between what he said (and meant) and the words you are putting into his mouth. And how many people will take you at your (otherwise wholly reliable) word, without ever checking the clip for themselves? And that, “medieval theology,” about true freedom that you referenced is actually Ancient Greek philosophy, repurposed by medieval thinkers and clerics, as so much of their work was.

You want to, “silence her?” The best way to achieve that is to be silent about her.

Are you going to do for Braverman what you did for Farage and just keep her in the public discussion by talking about her all the time? We get it. She’s a vile person, ergo everything she says and does is vile. She’s making bids for attention, so as to keep a high profile for her leadership bid. Please stop helping her? “Vile person does vile things,” is not news, not worth further discussion, not even interesting. Yes, it angers decent people, but that’s why she does it. Your response to her does you credit, but your continuous responses do not.

Actually, the best polls and analysis shows that the reform vote was made up of people who would otherwise have voted for all other parties. The Tories got the biggest share of that, but not even 50%. Reform has erstwhile Labour voters, Greens and Lib Dems too. That is why a lot of their rhetoric is aimed at, “working class,” people and deliberately appeals to, “socialist,” sensibilities. “National socialist?”
