Some top Labour MPs aren’t happy with how public bodies have responded to the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the definition of a woman — and they’ve been venting about it in private WhatsApp chats that have now been leaked.
Rhondda MP Chris Bryant is among a group of Labour frontbenchers raising concerns about what they see as an over-the-top reaction to last week’s ruling, which said the term “woman” in the Equality Act 2010 refers to biological sex. The judgment also stressed that this doesn’t remove protections for transgender people under the law.
