KEIR Starmer is facing a backlash from within his own party after he said he had “concerns” about gender reform in Scotland – despite Labour supporting the bill at Holyrood.
Anas Sarwar whipped his MSPs to support the Gender Reform Recognition Bill, which was voted through the Scottish Parliament ahead of Christmas.
However, speaking to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday, Starmer said he had “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”.
