Sex Matters' Helen Joyce questions why “we ask actors for their opinion on politics”, following David Tennant’s comments on a world in which Kemi Badenoch “didn’t exist anymore” due to her transgender views.
Rishi Sunak has intervened in the spat between the Equalities Minister and the actor, suggesting the Doctor Who star is “the problem”.
Tennant suggested at an awards show he wanted a world where the equalities minister “doesn’t exist any more”, and that she should “shut up”.
The Prime Minister said: “Freedom of speech is the most powerful feature of our democracy.
“If you’re calling for women to shut up and wishing they didn’t exist, you are the problem.”
Tennant won a prize for being a “celebrity ally” at the British LGBT Awards last week and used his speech to target the equalities minister.
