The feud between David Tennant and Kemi Badenoch has taken a fiery turn as the Doctor Who actor and Tory Business Secretary clash over LGBT+ rights. Tennant, receiving the Celebrity Ally award, expressed the importance of Pride for his family, sparking criticism from Badenoch. The exchange escalated with Tennant telling Badenoch to 'shut up,' drawing both support and backlash from the public.

Badenoch retaliated, branding Tennant as a 'rich, lefty, white male' and asserting her determination not to be silenced by men. The dispute highlights the ongoing tension between celebrities and politicians on matters of equality and representation.

In a surprising twist, Tennant's remarks about Badenoch have stirred debates on social media, with many praising his stance while others criticize the actor for his tone towards the minister. The clash underscores the complexities of navigating discussions around transgender rights and allyship in the public eye.

As the feud continues to make headlines, it sheds light on the broader discourse surrounding gender identity and advocacy in the UK. It serves as a reminder of the power dynamics at play when individuals with platforms clash over deeply personal and political issues.
