Let’s disentangle the issues:
- Was Sky out of order? Based on what seems to be emerging, I would say yes. Was he justified in biting back? Yes, probably so.
- Is there any more of a threat to him than any other UK politician? The evidence says not. Starmer is far more under threat domestically and globally as already proven. Kemi Badenoch is a leader of the opposition and black, potentially stopping Farage. Besides, if you’re going to murder an MP, history shows a fanatic won’t go high profile, they’ll go for kindly figures like David Amess or Jo Cox with low security, based on one Wikipedia detail they didn’t like.
