UK leader Sunak criticized for gender remark as mother of murdered teenager attends Parliament

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faced criticism Wednesday after seeking to mock the position of the Labour Party's leader on the definition of a woman, less than two minutes after lawmakers heard that the mother of a murdered transgender teenager was in Parliament. In response to a question from Keir Starmer, Sunak listed a series of issues that he said showed the Labour leader making about-turns, ending with a quip about his stance on “defining a woman, although in fairness, that was only 99% of a U-turn." Starmer, who had welcomed the mother of Brianna Ghey, Esther Ghey, was visibly furious in response.
