Leader of the Labour Party, Sir Keir Starmer, has chosen not to pursue disciplinary measures against several prominent colleagues – including two cabinet ministers and numerous other Members of Parliament – who were involved in discussions challenging the Supreme Court’s interpretation of “woman.”

These exchanges suggest a deliberate strategy to oppose the ruling.

“We need to figure out how we can move forward and organize against this,”
one message reportedly sent by a minister indicates, highlighting a planned meeting scheduled for this week focused on formulating a response. The group’s actions stand in stark contrast to the government’s publicly stated stance of supporting the Supreme Court’s landmark judgment.
