Internal opposition to the Tidö collaboration has increased in the Liberals after Kalla fakta's report on SD's alleged “troll factory”.

But between the party leaders there is obviously a better atmosphere.

– A little more fuss, L leader Johan Pehrson was heard to say Åkesson before he began debating his colleague during Wednesday's debate in the Riksdag.

Jimmie Åkesson responded by raising his left fist.

During the day, a number of left-wing profiles on social media were appalled that Åkesson during the debate accused TV4 and the Social Democrats of being involved in an “influence operation” against SD:

This attack on TV4 and independent Swedish media was just stated from the rostrum of the Riksdag by the leader of the largest party in the government cooperation.
