Labour must discuss gender with ‘respect’, says Keir Starmer

Rosie Duffield had said she felt ostracised by the party because of her views on gender reforms

The Labour party must have respect and tolerance" in the face of differing opinions on gender, Keir Starmer has said after Rosie Duffield's claim she felt ostracised by the party because of her views.

Duffield last week accused male party colleagues of trying to shout her down in the Commons when she spoke to back the government's move to block gender reforms proposed in Scotland.
