The arrest of Graham Linehan over an anti-trans tweet was claimed by opposition politician Sir James Cleverly to be self-evidently a joke.

Nigel Farage claims the UK is becoming North Korea. But when was the last time you heard of a North Korean being arrested over a tweet?

Sky News reported:

Harry Potter author J K Rowling, who has regularly shared her views on women's rights in relation to transgender rights on social media, also waded into the row, posting on X: "What the f*** has the UK become? This is totalitarianism. Utterly deplorable."

Responding to the accusation that the UK was now a "totalitarian" state, Sir Keir Starmer's official spokesperson said: "No."

Although he might have said: But we're working on it.
