tyle=”font-size: 11pt”>A spokeswoman said: “Of particular concern are the number of MPs and peers who are openly saying that the rights of trans people are under threat. This not only calls into question the legitimacy of the Supreme Court judgment which explicitly states the ruling ‘does not remove protection from trans people’, it actively fuels fear within the very community they claim to support.”
She said: “We now call upon the government to maintain their resolve and remind outlier Labour MPs, who seek to push their own agenda, of their duty to uphold the law.”
Maya Forstater, chief executive of the charity Sex Matters, said that leadership was needed so that MPs understood the law.
She said: “Every government has backbench rebels. But when they make dismissive and factually incorrect statements that run directly counter to the government’s stated position, it’s a failure of leadership to let them stand.”
We await Sir Keir's firm and resolute rebuke to these wayward MPs.
