It's a hot button topic as MRAs want women's rights to given to men who identify as women. Women's sports and spaces are just expected to step aside for them.

It's a big talking point because places are taking the knee to the issue, and we see women getting villified for saying that maybe vulnerable women shouldn't be made to share a ward with males and that it's unfair for women to compete against males.

Conservative leadership hopeful Penny Mordaunt has called for an end to toxic politics, saying the focus needs to be on picking a new prime minister.

She told the BBC there were a "number of smears going on in the papers" and hit back at claims that she had ever backed gender self-identification.

Ms Mordaunt is one of five candidates left in the leadership race, ahead of the next round of voting on Monday.

Tom Tugendhat meanwhile said the Tories needed a "clean start".

Ms Mordaunt - second in the contest according to the latest round of MPs' votes - told the Sunday Morning programme the cost-of-living crisis was her priority.

She was also questioned about her stance on how people should be allowed to legally change their gender, after questions were raised during the contest about her record when she was equalities minister.

Asked by Sophie Raworth whether she thought trans people should have to get a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria before they could legally change their gender, she said: "Yes."

Yes I believe trans women should be kept out of women's sports. It's only right. But this constant debate about what a woman is sends me crazy. It's like is that the only thing that matters?? Like I said Julia on Talk TV is obsessed.

[Labour 'not worried' by any Conservative leadership candidate

The final guest on today's Ridge on Sunday programme
is Bridget Phillipson, shadow education secretary.
Ms Phillipson criticises Conservative leadership
candidate Kemi Badenoch, suggesting that
her comments on cutting down on the
number of support staff in schools is concerning.
"I am not worried about any of them,"
she says of the five remaining Tory leadership hopefuls.
She adds that Labour will "be clear"
about how they would fund any policy put forward.]

Kemi remembers her Days in
working McDonalds

I’m already sick of TomT’s constant army references ..

“ I’m ready to serve “

I’ve found nothing online to suggest he was a war hero or whatever .
He was in the TA ( part-time role as an officer in the British Army reserves) for about ten years .. 4 of them were in a civilian capacity, for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO), and helped set up the National Security Council of Afghanistan

Yes Makes Sense,

After friday's programme and the way this one is shaping up.
It would surprise me if any of these can turn around enough, the voters who now hold more negative views towards the Cons.

This programme isn't I think doing anything to show them in a good light as a Party.

if Tom mentions "when i was in the military" one more time i will scream

Yes he does become a Parrot at times
