Conservative Party Leadership Hopeful Says She’s “Not Afraid Of Doctor Who” As She Devotes Majority Of New Campaign Vid To Spat With David Tennant


Kemi Badenoch has said she's "not afraid of Doctor Who" in a campaign video revisiting her David Tennant beef.

Kemi Badenoch launched her campaign on X yesterday and unveiled a 30-second video prior, in which she focused almost solely on her very public spat with Tennant. Tennant, who played the 10th Doctor, told Badenoch to “shut up” in July due to her views on trans rights and she responded at the time that she “will not be silenced.” Big anti-trans names including JK Rowling also rushed to Badenoch’s defense, calling Goblet of Fire star Tennant part of the “gender Taliban” in a ranty X post. Badenoch has been consistently vocal with her views on trans rights and has previously said she would allow organizations to bar transgender women from single-sex spaces, amongst other calls.
