Rishi Sunak is facing calls to apologise after joking about Labour's position on trans people when the mum of murdered teenager Brianna Ghey - who was transgender - was in Parliament.
At PMQs, Mr Sunak listed what he described as a number of Labour U-turns, accusing Sir Keir of changing his position on "defining a woman".
"Although in fairness, that was only 99% of a U-turn," he added.
Sir Keir hit back, saying: "Of all the weeks to say that, when Brianna's mother is in this chamber. Shame.
"Parading as a man of integrity when he's got absolutely no responsibility."
***************************************
Sunak has absolutely no excuse for this. He was told not two minutes before his comments that Brianna Ghey's mother would be in the gallery watching.
