This opinion column argues that left-wing figures receive less scrutiny for abusive or violent rhetoric directed at political opponents on the Right. It cites online posts and political reactions following the reported killing of former MP and Reform UK spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe, contending that such responses illustrate a broader double standard.

The columnist criticises influencer Danny Lambo for a video referencing Widdecombe’s death and Green leader Zack Polanski for sharing an image featuring a guillotine and Nigel Farage’s name. It also refers to comments and past actions by Green MP Carla Denyer and activist Peter Tatchell, framing them as evidence that threats, mockery and exclusion of right-wing voices are too readily tolerated.
