Read the original article on spectator.com (opens in a new tab)Stephen Daisley argues in a Spectator column that the Senedd was wrong to ban Reform MS Joe Martin from speaking until he apologises for asking about the 'demographic replacement of white British people'. The column quotes Martin's question and the presiding officer's ruling as other outlets report them, and attributes to BBC News the description of the question as echoing a far-right conspiracy theory. It says no credible evidence has been offered for a coordinated scheme to replace white Britons.
Opinion piece: read for false claims of fact and for fairness to the people it names, not for its opinions.
“asked the Welsh Government to address ‘demographic replacement of white British people’”
Daisley quotes Martin's actual words, which match the question reported by ITV News and The Independent. Readers can judge the remark for themselves rather than through a paraphrase.
