SIR Keir Starmer was yesterday slammed by campaigners and Tory leader Kemi Badenoch for spending years refusing to define a woman.
The PM — who welcomed — was accused of hypocrisy for previously tying himself in knots over the issue.
In 2022 he declared: “Trans women are women.”;
The following year he tweaked his position to say a woman is an “adult female”;.
And in 2024 Sir Keir, drew ridicule for insisting 99.9 per cent of women “don’t have a penis”; — meaning one in every thousand do.
blasted: “The era of telling us some women have penises has come to an end. Hallelujah!”;
Ex-Labour MP , now sitting as an independent, joked she wanted to buy him an “I told you so”; T-shirt.
She added: “But I would need a different one for every moment of every day.”;
A Labour source blamed ex-leader for the party’s disarray.
The source said: “This just shows why it was so important that Keir hauled the back to the commonsense position the public take on these sorts of issues.
“He gradually moved the party from one that took the activist position to a serious, sensible one that protected women’s spaces while allowing for respectful debate.
“It’s one of the reasons the country felt Labour was safe to elect just a few years after the disaster of 2019.”;
Despite the defiant statement it took only a few hours for Sir Keir’s wokest MPs to hit out at the decision.
