Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has hit out at Labour leader Keir Starmer for “ignoring constituents” after his party’s MPs allegedly prevented a bill to stop children accessing puberty blockers.
The bill – proposed by former Prime Minister Liz Truss – didn’t make it into the Commons, and Badenoch took to social media to voice her frustration.
She said: “Just now Labour MPs prevented debate on a new law to protect children and single sex spaces. Instead they used parliamentary time to discuss ferret name choices.
“Keir Starmer is terrified of debate on safeguarding & his MPs actively work to ignore the concerns of constituents.”
