I actually agree with him, it wasn't directed at that incident, what is he apologising for ?

[Sidecontrol]

He was referring to Keir not being able to define what a woman was, then later on finally coming out and defining it. Why's nobody using the fact Keir is using the tragic death of a teenager to score points against Rishi??

[Alex-mdbu]

He was taking the piss out of Starmer not the trans community, however he was using a phrase that the trans community has “cancelled” many people for

[keithmcgregor]

He never done anything wrong ffs, Starmer was the one out of order using it the way he did.

It’s a great pity that all politicians don’t put as much effort into running the country for the benefit of all, as they do in seeing who can pee higher up the wall.

[endriu]

You guys have politicians that asked what is woman can’t reply due to social pressure from tiny minority. This is a serious problem

[CharlieRabbit]

The general topic of trans women not being female or women has nothing to do with the horrific murder that took place.

[SuperArsenal]

As someone who is trans, this is nothing to do with brianna. Typical media and the Labour Party gaslighting and blowing out of proportion

[severeign]

You’ve heard the saying ‘As rare as hens teeth’? You’re more likely to find those before you’ll find a politician who will give a straight answer to the question they were asked.

[ClaraLemlichRules]

The horrible murder of an innocent child doesn't change the fact that biological sex exists and matters.

[lestrem]

It was Starmer who made trans reference, not Sunak.

[onlyme]

The only one who needs to apologise is starmer for his sham false pretence of being offended on behalf of somebody else. It was play ground behaviour..

[paulsantini]

'Defining a woman" is not a trans comment at all

[NorthDevon-dy]

Nothing to apologise for, this has nothing to do with the awful murder…. Starmer is politicising something that was not relevant to the point made about him refusing to declare that he knew what a woman was… and he still doesn’t know….

[joebrandreth]

Rishi was only stating the facts. If someone throws stones at you, you chuck em back.

[dh]

Starmer is the disgusting one for using Brianna as a pawn to make a political point.

[patchlolly]

Starmer is the guilty one for swinging it to gain points

[MrHuNTeR_exe]

He's got more important things to apologies for and fix imo.

[maxy-spcn]

Facts don't care about your feelings.

What is a woman?

- Starmer 🤷‍♂️

- Sunak - "an adult female" 👍🏼💯🥇
