- Trans Labour councillor Dylan Tippetts has resigned from the party, accusing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of abandoning trans people after the Supreme Court ruling on gender.
- The court ruled that biological sex determines the definition of a woman in equality law, which has led to trans women being excluded from women’s sports teams and bathrooms.
- Sir Keir has reversed his previous stance that "trans women are women", advocating for trans people to use bathrooms aligning with their biological sex.
- Mr Tippetts criticised Labour for its stance, saying he can no longer represent a party that doesn't support his fundamental rights and has taken society “backwards decades”.
- Mr Tippetts, who sits on the Plymouth City Council, plans to serve as an independent councillor until his term ends.
