Former Labour MP Rosie Duffield has called on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to apologise following yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling in the ongoing gender row.
The Supreme Court yesterday ruled that the terms woman and sex in the 2010 Equality Act “refer to a biological woman and biological sex”.
Duffield, who sits as an independent MP in the Commons after quitting Labour, said the Prime Minister should say sorry to her for previously condemning her stance on the issue.
the Canterbury MP told Sky News: “A proper and sort of genuine sorry would nice, but that isn’t going to happen under Keir Starmer’s leadership.”
Asked whether there was anything Labour could do to bring her back into the fold, the Canterbury MP told Sky News: “A proper and sort of genuine sorry would nice, but that isn’t going to happen under Keir Starmer’s leadership.”
She added: “We’ve already heard the Labour Party sort of trying to backtrack and pretend that they were always on board, which is obviously not the case.
