Rishi Sunak has refused to apologise for mocking Sir Keir Starmer’s stance on “defining a woman” while the mother of murdered transgender teenager Brianna Ghey attended PMQs. No 10 declined


repeatedly to apologise for Mr Sunak’s comment and said it was part of a “legitimate” criticism of Labour. A spokesperson said: “If you look back on what the Prime Minister was saying, there


was a long list of U-turns that the Leader of the Opposition had been making. “I don’t think those U-turns are a joke, it is quite serious changes in public policy. I think it is totally


legitimate for the Prime Minister to point those out.” Mr Sunak had said at PMQs: “I think I counted almost 30 in the last year. Pensions, planning, peerages, public sector pay, tuition


fees, childcare, second referendums, defining a woman. Although in fairness that was only 99 per cent of a U-turn. The list goes on but the theme is the same. It is empty words, broken


promises and absolutely no plan.”  A visibly angry Sir Keir then replied: “Of all the weeks to say that when Brianna’s mother is in this chamber. Shame. Parading as a man of integrity when


he has got absolutely no responsibility.” YOU CAN FOLLOW THE LATEST UPDATES BELOW.
