If you had to pinpoint a moment when Katie Hopkins went from bad to worse, it would probably be in the aftermath of the 2017 Manchester Arena suicide bombing. Just before 9am the next morning, as a sickened nation digested the news that a suicide bomber had killed 22 people, many of them children, Hopkins logged on to Twitter (now X), where she had more than 700,000 followers.
For reasons that are now not entirely clear to me, she targeted the TV presenter Phillip Schofield while tweeting: “22 dead – number rising. Schofield. Don’t you even dare. Do not be part of the problem. Be part of the solution. We need a final solution. #Manchester.”
