I actually think Badenoch has struck the right balance on this, as much as I normally disagree with her on everything.

She is appealing for calm, in constract to Farage's pot-stirring, and asking for answers without exploting the situation. Calling for rage isn't helping. Even if I think he can't be directly held responsible for the scenes we saw in Southamption, it does show why politicans have to be careful with their language.

As for Reform, do they do any vetting? This candidate for the by-election seems to have no end of troubling tweets brought up. They've hamstrung themselves right out the gate.
