Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, has criticized the police for investigating journalist Allison Pearson over a year-old tweet, calling the action 'absolutely wrong.' Pearson, a columnist for The Telegraph, was visited by police on Remembrance Sunday and informed she was being investigated for allegedly inciting racial hatred.
Badenoch emphasized that such incidents waste police resources and urged for a review of laws governing free speech. She also called on Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to take a stand on the issue.
Badenoch's comments highlight ongoing debates about free speech and the role of law enforcement in policing online content.
