Kemi Badenoch accused a Labour MP of being a “liar” in a heated clash over the language used to describe transgender children.
The equalities minister was warned about the use of “unparliamentary language” after she clashed with Kate Osborne, who she accused of lying.
During an appearance at the Women and Equalities Select Committee on Wednesday (13 December), the Cabinet minister became angry when Ms Osborne accused her of previously using “inflammatory language that likens children and young people coming out as trans to the spread of a disease”.
Ms Badenoch said: “That is a lie and I think you should withdraw that statement. That is a lie. You are lying.”
