===Column on Muslim voters=== In October 2019, Liddle penned a column in ''The Spectator'' commenting on the forthcoming [[2019 United Kingdom general election|December 2019 UK general election]], which suggested that the election should be held on a Muslim holy day to reduce the Labour vote. The column was criticised by senior political figures including Chancellor of the Exchequer [[Sajid Javid]] and former Conservative [[Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Deputy Prime Minister]] [[David Lidington]]. Liddle defended the content as being humorous. The article also criticised the Labour MP [[Rosie Duffield]]'s recent speech about her experience of trying to exit an abusive relationship; Duffield described the article as "racist and misogynistic".<ref>{{cite news|author=Aubrey Allegretti|title=Rod Liddle's Spectator article calling for general election on Muslim holy day 'unacceptable'|date=1 November 2019|access-date=2 November 2019|work=Sky News|url=https://news.sky.com/story/rod-liddles-spectator-article-on-muslims-voting-attacked-by-sajid-javid-11851238}}</ref>
