Starmer lacks moral courage on trans stance, says Badenoch

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has accused Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of lacking “moral courage” on transgender issues during heated exchanges at Prime Minister’s Questions.
Last week, the UK Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman should be based on biological sex under equalities law, meaning, for instance, that transgender women, who are biologically male but identify as women, can be excluded from women-only spaces.
Sir Keir said the court’s ruling provided “clarity” and that it was now “time to lower the temperature” on the debate.
Badenoch said the prime minister didn’t “have the balls” to say where he stood and likened him to a “weather vane”.
“This is a choice between a Conservative Party that stood up for common sense and a Labour Party that bent the knee to every passing fad,” she said.
