Sir Keir Starmer has backed the banning of transgender women from women’s
sport – after previously refusing to do so publicly.

The Labour leader said he was “supportive” of moves to protect the female
category of sporting competitions and that “common sense has to prevail in
terms of safety and integrity of sport”.

“I think the important thing is that the sports governing bodies take a lead on
this. And they are doing that, and we’re supportive of what they’re doing,
particularly in elite sport. So, that’s where the decision should be taken.
They’ve taken a number of decisions. And, in the end, common sense has to
prevail in terms of safety and integrity of sport.”



Last year, one of Thomas’s rivals, Legend campaigner Riley Gaines, claimed she and others had
not been “forewarned beforehand that we would be sharing a locker room
with Lia” at events.

“We did not give our consent; they did not ask for our consent,” Gaines told
Fox News. “In that locker room, we turned around and there’s a 6ft 4in
biological man dropping his pants and watching us undress, and we were
exposed to male genitalia.
