Laura Trott does not believe Rishi Sunak should apologise after he derided Labour’s policy on transgender rights during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday 7 February.
The prime minister has come under fire for mocking Sir Keir Starmer’s track record on trans rights while Brianna Ghey’s mother was a guest in parliament.
In a fiery exchange, Mr Sunak accused the Labour leader of u-turning on his definition of a woman.
“I don’t think we should make this a huge issue about trans,” Ms Trott, the chief secretary to the Treasury, said after PMQs.
She was asked twice if Mr Sunak should apologise for his comments.
