Sunak denies stoking culture war with pledge to change law around biological sex
Rishi Sunak has denied stoking a culture war with his pledge to overhaul equality laws, while the women and equalities minister could not say what kind of paperwork people would need to show to use single-sex spaces under the plans.
The Conservatives announced an election campaign proposal to amend the Equality Act to make clear sex means “biological sex” rather than gender.
I doubt if we'll see Keir Starmer or Ed Davey stoking sanity quite so shamelessly as this. Whatever next?

Ah, the technical expertise and numeracy of Sunak and Badenoch is being deployed for electoral advantage. They have worked out that the number of women, girls, and concerned parents in the UK probably exceeds the numbers of blokes in high heels who want to use the ladies loo or beat women up on the sports field.
I don't have their brainpower or the back-up of the civil service experts, but to me, it looks like they might be right.
Sam - yes Sunak and Badenoch may be right, pandering to nutters and tiny minorities has suddenly become poor electoral politics. The Tories finally seem to realise that they need to be popular with people other than their cronies and media axe-grinders. Farage may well teach them another lesson about popularity.
It's very puzzling - Sunak has failed to apply the actions and values that 80% of the electorate want and the alternative is Starmer who doesn't share their values and whose actions would be contrary to what they want. Crazy world.
Tammly - it is crazy, as if far too many voters can't quite believe that as PM, Starmer will carry on shafting them just as Sunak did.
