To think James Murray, the new Health Secretary, should know what a woman is? "I think a woman is an adult female and a trans woman"

Seems a key skill for a health secretary..

"I think a woman is an adult female and a trans woman"

Yip. Yanbu. Should not be HS if doesn't know basic biology.

Good job Starmer is listening to what half the electorate care about.

Don't get me started on Harriet Harman

He clearly is completely deluded as the only real criteria to be a transwoman, is to be a man.

This.

Does Labour really not have anyone with any common sense?

I can't stand Reform but I can't wait to be rid of this Labour govt. They are embarrassing in their hypocrisy.

Oh for fucks sake. Really??

Labour are really scraping the intelligence barrel with their recent appointments. Can't wait for this pathetic bunch of idiots to go, from Starmer downwards 😠 And I'm speaking as someone who voted Labour until Corbyn.

He should probably also know the difference between "and" and "or"....

Did anybody seriously expect anything less?

This guy is the worst kind of politician. No spark, no opinion, but very skilled in robotically trotting out the party line. I can see why Starmer likes him.

At this point, I feel like Starmer is punishing women before he gets pushed out...bastard!

Harriet Har-them as she us known in our house 😁

Oh FFS here we go a fucking gain

Yep. It would much easier if we all just used the definition that the human race has used for tens of millennia wouldn’t it.

TL:DR the women are the ones not overfilling prisons, the ones suffering the sexual crimes of the others, and being paid a damn sight less for more valuable work,

That was supposed to be a full stop on the end, but I can think of another: the ones specifically banned from inheriting titles and estates even if they do “change sex” to become transmen.

Maybe he’ll appoint Lily Madigan as an advisor?

The whole new enterprise of Fresh Start Starmer is apparently a dud one from women’s point of view.

Andy Burnham can’t spit it out or accept the court ruling either - for it’s ‘complicated’.

Wes understands a whole lot more but was nevertheless seemingly ok about sacrificing children to the unethical puberty blocker trial to keep on side with trans activists.

Oh good grief. :(

YANBU I am so sick of this shit.

100% this. Starmer can't bear women who aren't doormats for men. Watch how testercal he gets when Kemi stands up to him. Look at how he treated Rosie Duffield for daring to defy him.

JFC.

He sounds transphobic. Some adult females are trans men, yet he says they are women?

He can think what he likes. But a bit worrying when he's Health Secretary. Absolutely sick to death of Labour who are now showing their true colours.

So women are adult human females and any man who says so?

Pretty transphobic to transmen and the non-binaries too.

What a thick, misogynistic joke of a man.

And this is why people are voting reform 🤦🏼‍♀️ starmer is an absolute plank. He's also surrounded himself with absolute planks.

Oh good grief. (I'm saying that a lot these days.)

I knew not to trust Labour in the last General Election,
