I agree GrannyGravy and think I'm right that the fact she was trans did not motivate this appalling act.

The leader of the opposition has got form when answering the question ^what is a woman^

So it's fine to joke about it at PMQs when the mother of a trans girl, who was murdered because she was trans, is in the Houses of Parliament? Because she wasn't in the public gallery at the time?

Oh dear....

According to one of our tory supporters Mrs Ghey wasn't in the gallery at the time. So that seems to make it OK. It's not as though she's likely to read/hear about it in the media hmm

Brianna Ghey’s murder was appalling, but it doesn’t mean that the nation can no longer discuss the trans issue.

I hope he continues in the same way - more opprobrium heaped upon him and by implication the rest of the Tories.

Sorry CvD66, I hadn't notice this when I put my thread up. Mine includes another bit so I'll leave it if you don't mind.

First he lets himself to be talked into a £1000 bet over his Rwandan policy with a TV presenter. Then at today’s PMQs he cracks a transgender joke in front of Brianna Ghey’s mother (sat in the gallery). Is he totally unable to ‘read the room’?
