People changing gender must be treated with “respect and dignity”, Sir Keir Starmer has said as he was challenged on his party’s plans to reform the process.
The Labour leader said single-sex spaces “must be protected” and “we mustn’t go down the route of self-identification” when asked about the issue on The Sun’s Never Mind The Ballots show on Monday evening.
Labour’s position has also been criticised by author JK Rowling, who accused the party of having “abandoned” women.
Speaking at The Sun’s event, Sir Keir said he respected Rowling’s view and would be happy to meet her to discuss the issue.
Talk’s Mike Graham discusses the story with founder of Conservative Home Tim Montgomerie.
