Talk of action after ruling on definition of a woman

WELSH MP Chris Bryant is one of a group of leading Labour politicians considering action over what they see as an over-reaction by public bodies to the Supreme Court's ruling last week on the definition of a woman under the Equalities Act, according to reports.

Leaked WhatsApp messages show Rhondda and Ogmore MP Sir Chris is one of a number of ministers who have criticised the reaction by bodies like the Equality and Human Rights Commission to the ruling by the Supreme Court, which last week said that the definition of a woman under the Equalities Act 2010 referred to biological gender.

The court insisted this did not mean that transgender people did not have protection from discrimination.

The messages, leaked to the Daily Mail, show Labour frontbenchers discussing the aftermath of the ruling with some suggesting that they need to “organise”.
