Reeling off a list of what he said were Labour U-turns, Mr Sunak said Sir Keir had changed his position on "defining a woman - although in fairness, that was only 99% of a U-turn".

His comments referred to an interview where Sir Keir had said "99.9% of women haven't got a penis".

Sir Keir hit back, saying: "Of all the weeks to say that, when Brianna's mother is in this chamber. Shame.

"Parading as a man of integrity when he's got absolutely no responsibility."

Later, Mr Sunak ignored a call from Labour MP Liz Twist to "apologise to Brianna Ghey's mother".

But at the end of the session the prime minister said Ms Ghey represented "the very best of humanity" for the "compassion" she showed after her 16-year-old daughter was murdered by two teenagers who had a fascination with violence.

He added that the murder "was an unspeakable and shocking tragedy".

A spokeswoman for Sir Keir said: "We don't think the country wants or deserves a prime minister who is happy to use minorities as a punch bag.

"The comments were deeply offensive to trans people. He should reflect on his response there and apologise."

What do you think? Was Rishi Sunak wrong to bring up Starmers position on Trans Women during such a delicate time?

I think it's tactless at best and shows a complete disregard to read the room and how out of touch the current "unelected" Prime Minister is.

TERF island being TERF island

You can't really get a Rizla between the Tory and Labour stance on trans people, unfortunately.

Just a mask off moment.
