Rishi Sunak makes transgender jibe as Esther Ghey watches on

Rishi Sunak was criticised after attempting to mock Sir Keir Starmer’s stance on “defining a woman” after the Commons had heard the mother of murdered transgender teenager Brianna Ghey was watching from the gallery.
The Labour leader condemned the Prime Minister’s remark, with a chorus of opposition backbenchers calling out: “Shame.”
The exchange took place during the Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons, as the leaders clashed over the Government missing targets to reduce NHS waiting lists.
Mr Sunak then refused to apologise when asked to by MP Liz Twist.
