Kemi Badenoch accused Sir Keir Starmer of “not having any balls” regarding his reaction to the Supreme Court’s ruling on the definition of a woman.
Last week five judges ruled that the terms “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act refer to a biological woman and biological sex, in a decision that could have wide-ranging ramifications for trans women’s rights to use services and spaces reserved for women.
Asked if the PM still believed that a transgender woman was a woman, his official spokesman said: “No, the Supreme Court judgment has made clear that when looking at the Equality Act, a woman is a biological woman. That is set out clearly by the court judgment.”
The Conservative leader labelled the prime minister a “weather vane who twists in the wind” on Wednesday (23 April) following Sir Keir’s U-turn on his views.
