Following a November 2023 video of Northern Irish rap group Kneecap under investigation for allegedly calling for violence against Conservative MPs, Katie Amess, daughter of a murdered MP, condemned the band and demanded an apology. The UK government condemned the threats, emphasizing the seriousness of political intimidation. Amess expressed disbelief at the band's rhetoric and offered to meet them to discuss the impact of their words. Kneecap claimed they are victims of a smear campaign, while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called for prosecution.
