Hard-right Tory MP & GB "News" presenter Dehenna Davison, attacks Britain's free press for the crime of *asking her questions*, after she was photographed with anti-vax literature which she claims was unsolicited.

If you're not familiar with Dehenna, here's some basics:

She's from Sheffield, then went to Hull University & during her time there she spent a year working as a parliamentary aide for nonother than Jacob Rees-Mogg, which is presumably where she was radicalised.

Suits you sir!

On 14 February 2020, it was reported that she had been photographed with two far-right activists at a party to celebrate Brexit on 31 January in her constituency. Advocacy group Hope not Hate called for the Conservatives to undertake an investigation.

"To pose for a photo with one far-right activist may be regarded as a misfortune; to pose with two looks like carelessness."

Dehenna Davison attended a Brexit celebration at a pub in Bishop Auckland, where she was snapped in some embarrassing company.

In September 2020, Davison was criticised by her own party after she mocked then Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard for having an English accent & bizarrely suggested that this was the reason for @UKLabour's decline in support in Scotland.

A spokesman for the Scottish Conservatives: "This criticism is unacceptable. It plays into the kind of divisive politics that the SNP promote."

Conservative MSP Dean Lockhart also distanced himself from Davison's comments & stated that Leonard's accent is "irrelevant".

Davison is on the far right of the party 😉 & is a member of the Home Affairs Select Committee & the ERG, on the steering committee of the China Research Group, on the board of Blue Collar Conservatives, & active in The Northern Policy Foundation.

As of April 2021, Davison also co-chairs with Greg Smith the Free Market Forum, a group of free-market-obsessed Conservative MPs, which is affiliated with the extremely dodgy & ideologically extreme libertarian Tufton St think tank, the Institute of Economic Affairs.

You won't be surprised to read that Dehenna followed the lead of divisive & irresponsible hard-right Home Secretary Priti Patel by blaming "activist lawyers" for preventing the Home Office from deporting migrants who cross the Channel in small boats.

Since June 2021, Davison has been a co-host of 'The Political Correction' on GB "News" on Sunday mornings with divisive gobshite Nigel Farage, earning £369 per week in one of her second jobs - she's also listed as the director of a PR firm, DSD 22, set up on September 10, 2020.

Davison married John Fareham, a Conservative councillor on Hull City Council in 2018. There was a 35-year age gap between them. The couple appeared on the documentary series Bride & Prejudice, which showed their wedding. They separated before #GE2019.

Finally, it should be noted Dehenna Davidson did have a difficult childhood, & she has struggled with her mental health, for which she deserves some sympathy.

However, it does not excuse or explain why she's active in THE most reactionary end of the Tory Party
