The Prime Minister defended his statement as a legitimate critique of Sir Keir Starmer's changed stance on defining a woman. This controversial remark was made in the presence of the murdered transgender teen's mother, who was attending Parliament.

Brianna's father, who found the comment disrespectful, is among those demanding an apology from Sunak.
