Sir Keir Starmer was applauded as he hit out at Rishi Sunak’s trans jibe allegedly linked to murdered teenager Briana Ghey.
During a special BBC Question Time election leaders debate on Thursday evening (20 June), Sir Keir was quizzed about his views on the definition of a woman.
The Labour leader said he agreed with Sir Tony Blair’s recent comment that a woman has a vagina and a man has a penis.
Sir Keir said: “There are many people who don’t identify with the gender they are born into.”
The Labour leader then criticised Mr Sunak for a trans jibe allegedly linked to Ms Ghey during PMQs earlier this year.
