Puberty Blockers Question at PMQs

First PMQs for Sir Keir Starmer.

Second question was from Nadia Whittome saying how worried she was about the puberty blocker ban and asking the PM to meet with trans families and organisations supporting them.

His response was to say the most important thing was the children and that the Cass Review was clear that there was scant evidence on their long term use. He said he would arrange for her to meet Wes Streeting to discuss.

She did not look happy and was shaking her head.

Progress? Perhaps.

Was I wrong to give a wry chuckle?

Well, keir's response was superb. Perfect.

I cannot understand these politicians and why they are so set on this. Are they incapable of looking at evidence - not just the evidence available but the SOURCE of that evidence. That's what gets me! Look at who advised Stonewall, look at who funded the studies, look at the credentials of Hillary Cass, David Bell, az hakeem et al, really, what's the stumbling block here?

At least keir and wes are being sensible

@CaveMum I bet they have.

Goodness, that seems sensible.

BBC Live reporting has skipped over the question altogether and only covering Rishi Sunak’s questions at the moment.
