Comedy writer Graham Linehan has told a free speech event at The Conservative Party conference he was " The Most cancelled person in this room".

Mr Linehan shared a platform with historian and Daily Telegraph columnist Tim Stanley , academic Matthew Goodwin and Marc Glendinning, head of cultural affairs at The Institute for Economic Affairs Think Tank .
The Panel argued that free speech in The UK was being shut down by groups of people who were out of touch with The General Public 's views and increasingly intolerant of opinions they did not share.
Mr Linehan claimed there had been a " soft ideological coup of nearly all our major institutions - The Police , academia and even The NHS" and it needed to be stopped.
He also took aim at The Bbc over its treatment of trans issues, accusing The Corporation of doing everything it can " to suppress this debate".
The Bbc has been approached for comment.
Mr Linehan was speaking at a fringe meeting - an individual event that takes place around The main party conference.
The writer has been involved in A Number of acrimonious Social Media disputes with trans activists, and in 2020 was permanently suspended from Twitter which claimed he had breached rules on " hateful content".
His account was reinstated after Elon Musk took over The Social Media platform.
