It was a busy morning for Susanna Reid as not only did she have to step in and apologise for a swearing blunder, she also warned another guest to 'be careful' as they attempted to flash their passport live on Good Morning Britain. The TV presenter was back fronting the ITV news programme on Monday morning (January 16) alongside Ed Balls.
During the first edition of the show of the week, the presenting pair were discussing whether 16 is 'too young' for someone to legally change their gender. The conversation came after Sir Keir Starmer voiced "concerns" about the Scottish government's plans for the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill, which has been passed by MSPs, removes the need for people to get a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria before starting the change process.
It also drops the age limit to 16, and cuts the amount of time the process takes from two years to a matter of months. The Labour leader told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg: "I have concerns about the provision in Scotland, in particular the age reduction to 16 and, in particular, the rejection of our amendment in relation to the Equalities Act."
