THE Labour Party has a “woman problem” that borders on sexism, one of its female MPs has said.
Rosie Duffield slammed Sir Keir Starmer for failing to speak out when male colleagues shouted her down this week for opposing Scotland’s gender reforms.
Rosie Duffield MP says the Labour Party has a ‘women problem’
She compared the Labour leader’s “silence” to the thousands of supportive messages she received from women after her Commons remarks.
The Canterbury MP, a domestic abuse survivor, said: “Keir may dismiss it as a culture-war issue, but for these women, it is most definitely not.”
She added: “In 2019, it was hard enough trying to convince my constituents that Labour wasn’t antisemitic.
“In the next election, when they inevitably ask whether Labour is sexist, I’m not sure I’ll be able to do the same.”
Ms Duffield supported Rishi Sunak in blocking Nicola Sturgeon’s bid to let 16-year-olds officially change their gender without a doctor’s diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
Meanwhile a poll showed voters back the PM’s attempts to stop Scotland’s controversial gender reforms.
The Redfield and Wilton survey found 48 per cent supported the Section 35 order, while just 21 per cent opposed it.
