I’m sure that he has reflected on things and I understand he will say something later today or perhaps even during this session,” she said. “And that is not just about Mr and Mrs Ghey that he should reflect on, but I’m sure he is also reflecting about people who are trans or who have trans loved ones and family, some of whom sit on these green benches.” Mr Sunak had accused Keir Starmer of being incapable of “defining a woman” and later refused to apologise for the jibe.
