Kemi Badenoch, still in the Tory leader race, is too extreme even for Tory ministers like Dorries [View all]
It shows how unhinged Badenoch is when 'Mad Nad' is the voice of reason, compared to her:
Kemi Badenoch ‘completely wrong’ about online safety bill, say ministers
Ministers have hit back at Kemi Badenoch’s criticism of the online safety bill after the Conservative leadership contender said the delayed proposals were in “no fit state” to become law.
...
Responding to the delay, Badenoch tweeted that the bill would be overhauled if she became prime minister, stating: “We should not be legislating for hurt feelings.”
The culture secretary, Nadine Dorries, responded on Twitter by saying the bill would require tech platforms to deal with content encouraging others to take their own lives and asked if that could be defined as “hurt feelings”.
The tech minister, Damian Collins, who chaired the cross-party committee that scrutinised the bill, said Badenoch was “completely wrong” and that it set safety standards online. “Why would you want to stop that,” Collins tweeted.

"Jesus. You shouldn’t be let loose on protecting our children. You obviously have no idea how the bill will work nor why it’s needed. You’ve clearly fully sniffed up some dodgy briefing from an ill-informed colleague. Educate yourself before you preach if you want to be PM."
