Original Note:
Voltaire never said, 'I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.' This is from a 20th-century biography summarizing his beliefs. The comparison with Labour lacks direct evidence and generalizes the party's stance on free speech. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Beatrice_Hall#:~:text=In%20The%20Friends%20of%20Voltaire,principle%20of%20freedom%20of%20speech https://studentactivism.net/2015/01/08/no-voltaire-didnt-say-that-no-not-that-either/
