Yes. The old argument that you get these people on mainstream shows to expose them, like Nick Griffin from the BNP… that doesn’t work in a political culture that has rejected accountability, honesty and shame.

Doesn't feel particularly radical to suggest that the taxpayer should not subsidise organisations whose entire purpose seems to be to hound an incredibly marginalised group out of public life.
No organisation existing solely to eliminate trans people should be a charity. #DeregisterSexMatters

Plenty of people who knew Farage personally have publicly called Farage a vile racist. To my knowledge, he's not sued a single one 🤔

The fact the party, rather than Braverman's own lawyers, have written this letter is interesting. The party failing to comply with procedural requirements suggests the letter is about political point scoring than expressing a genuine intention Braverman wishes to sue.

I don't think the Reform Party UK pre-action letter to Kemi Badenoch threatening legal action for the mental health slur against Suella Braverman in her defection complies with the Defamation Pre-Action Protocol. This is either incompetence or posturing.
