Trans women to be barred from main Labour women’s conference in 2026

All delegates will be able to attend fringe programme as party tries to find compromise while complying with supreme court ruling on gender

Trans women will be barred from the main part of Labour's women's conference next year, the party has said, with entrance to the main conference hall and voting rights denied.

All delegates will be allowed to attend a fringe programme, under the party's plans as Labour seeks to find a compromise position it believes will comply with the supreme court's ruling on gender - while also being inclusive to trans delegates.
