Rishi Sunak was criticised after attempting to mock Keir Starmer’s stance on “defining a woman” after the Commons had heard the mother of murdered transgender teenager Brianna Ghey was watching from the gallery.

The Labour leader condemned Mr Sunak's remark, with a chorus of opposition backbenchers calling out: “Shame.”
