  Kyle’s own record hardly reassures sceptics. In June 2025 he reportedly referred one of his constituents to the police after she sent him emails protesting against arms sales to Israel. Within days, four officers raided her home at four in the morning, arrested her, and confiscated her devices. Journalists who examined her emails found them to be angry but not abusive, passionate but not unlawful. For civil-liberties campaigners, the case smacked of an MP unwilling to tolerate dissent on an issue where he is deeply invested.

  I feel a bit one-note complaining about this one guy all the time but he really truly is the worst part of this government.
