This is currently their lead story online:

www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/01/21/rishi-sunak-faces-tory-backlash-trans-conversion-therapy-ban/

"A majority of Tory MPs have “serious worries” about the Government’s plan to ban transgender conversion therapyy_, a former minister has said.

Tim Loughton said concerns about the bann_ were “not a Left or Right-wing thing”, claiming the parliamentary Conservative Party was united in feeling “cautious” about it."

And:

"Mr Loughton said that, within the parliamentary party, a “majority certainly have got some serious worries about this”.
“It is not a political divide, it’s people who have women’s rights at heart and people who have children’s welfare at heart,” he added. “You can be Right-wing, you can be Left-wing, it doesn’t matter.”
He said it was “too early to say” exactly how many MPs might rebel “because we don’t know what we’re voting on, we don’t know what the safeguards are going to be”.
Mr Loughton added that while Labour could potentially lend Rishi Sunak the votes to get a Bill through the Commons, the Prime Minister still faced the “risk of upsetting quite a lot of colleaguess_” if he did not get the legislation right.
He said MPs were “agreed” that gay and trans people needed to be “protected” against “loonies who want you to die in the fires of hell because you don’t confirm to their sexual conventions” but that “concerned parents and proper professional clinicians just doing their job should not be caught up in such a ban”."

I thought we were safe to allow children who appear to have gender dysphoria to have the relevant counselling to resolve it before anyone started using puberty blockers and the surgeon's knife. Has Sunak drunk the kool aid?
