I find it interesting he picked on Kemi. Yes he's a big Labour guy but he along with everyone else knows the Conservatives are unlikely to be in government next week.

I think Kemi is just a convenient substitute for the woman he'd really like to have a pop at, the one who's made countless headlines in the last week and shown Labour up to be a bunch of misogynistic twerps. The fellow Scot who just won't wheesht for Labour and might actually damage their majority a wee bit and presumably a former friend.

Come on Dave, do you dare go there?

Shame on him. And good for Kemi for her response on X

So very true.

Well Farage has been disparaging towards women and supports woman haters such as Trump and Tate Reform want to get rid off the Equality Act which amongst other things, protects women.

The good/bad binary can be seen very clearly on this thread. He's been accused of child abuse, racism, intent to kill, woman hating. He's got a non binary child, perhaps he feels protective over them. Most parents support their children.

He told a politician to shut up. Look at the vitriol.

His child is 9?? That is awful.

I think this is true.

However...

I also think that implying that Tennant, or guys like him, shouldn't disagree with her because she's black is hugely problematic, unless there is specific evidence.

He may be a twat, but he is allowed to agree with a member of the government on policy, and in a robust way, whatever her sex or race. He shouldn't need to pussyfoot around it with her any more than with someone like Nigel Farage.

I am all for calling out their CRT hypocrisy when appropriate, but I don't believe in ID politics so I am not going to use them as a tool to criticize others'actions.

He may have no choice as he has now firmly planted himself on her radar I would have thought - I hope that she goes for him because it would be well deserved. Twitter could get interesting!
What a complete prick he is.

Dave Tennant is anti women's rights and he tells a black woman to shut up? Funny that.

David Tennant says he has "a skin in the game" and that it's " family."

David I have a fucking skin in the game as I am a woman. It's also family for me as I have a daughter. Why is your skin in the game more important than mine?

Do not agree with Badenoch on most things but I do not want her to shut up.

KB just chucked that back at him because it is his own world view and supposed values - she is a very capable and strong woman who knows what she's about.

Yeah, doesn't wish ill on her, but wishes she didn't exist. It's about as coherent as the ideology he supports.

Wishing a black, female politician, standing up for women's rights, didn't exist, and parading your nine-year-old trans child around, is not an optic that is going to wear well, in my opinion.

Which ever way you look at it, it's not what I would call the right side of history.

I can't wait for JKR to comment.

What's the betting that when it comes to her, he's the one who'll shut up.

I do hope she's not 'Portilo-ed': parliament needs her

I imagine that's so, but I think it's very unwise.

That's literally all they've got.

'SHUT UP'

Seriously, that's it. Nothing more. Shut up you stupid, inconvenient Karens.

I wanted to be an X-man with mutant powers.

Which just goes to show tbh.

It's very stupid of such a prominent figure to choose his words so carelessly in light of political violence and violent rhetoric that many MPs face no matter which party or views they represent.

Saying shut up is one thing but wishing her to not exist is a step too far. Imagine if some lunatic took him at his word. It's dangerously close to 'will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?'

I think the optics of publicly wishing a financial, and a Black woman should shut up and ' not exist' is terrible, especially as a White man. He didn't argue with her or debate with her, he said she should not exist, and seemingly had no concept of why that would look bad. He has played right into her hands in his desperation to silence anyone who disagrees with transing children and has got a well deserved slapdown.

I didn't realise that Tennent once played a TW (Davina in Rab C Nesbitt). Do wonder how that would go down today?

What a horrible man. Just because he has a “non-binary” child he thinks he can publicly wish a prominent female politician was dead?

Misogynist prick.

Kemi and the black community are calling this out as a racist attack, perhaps you should listen to black women before wading in 😒

I can understand why race is being brought into it as he didn’t just disagree with her view, he said he wished she didn’t exist.

He won't like the implications being made.

And he is utterly incapable of entering into any kind of discourse with her about it.

In all fairness, most people are.

Because Kim is right, 100% right. Women are right. There is no rational argument to be had. And he would be a fool to try it.

But he might now be goaded into the attempt because of people's reaction.

Bring it on.

Extremely astute observation.

Oh look. White man wishes black woman didn't exist.

And he thinks he's kind?
