Well, that’s all cleared up then. After being left grounded like a dinghy when the tide goes out following the Supreme Court ruling concerning the definition of a woman, all eyes were on Sir Keir Starmer for a Prime Ministerial response. After all, it was in 2022 that he was unable to answer the question I put to him on my radio show over whether a woman could have a penis. And since then – despite the supposedly forensic skills of a barrister that we are continually told he possesses – he’s still struggled with a fulsome answer. After all, he also told one newspaper “a woman is a female adult, and in addition to that trans women are women.”

Hence the expectation over what we would hear from Sir Keir. After a lengthy period of virtual purdah, we were eventually treated to an answer of sorts. Pressed and pressed again by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, who enjoyed her best bout at Prime Minister’s Questions last week, the PM blurted out some legal gobbledegook about welcoming the “clarity” the ruling had brought and it was now “time to lower the temperature” on this heated debate.

But here’s the thing: the reason it is so bloody fractious is solely down to the politicians themselves who have often actively sought to politicise such a sensitive debate, particularly on the Labour side, with David Lammy even once absurdly suggesting a woman could grow a cervix.

When one of their number, MP Rosie Duffield, tried to stand against this tide of nonsense she was effectively bullied out of the party and senior then shadow ministers just watched on offering no support.

That’s exactly why the Supreme Court ruling sits so badly with Labour and there is already a growing revolt within the party over it. This is a row that is not going away and almost wholly of the PM’s own making.

While it might have been rather industrial language, Mrs Badenoch was right when she claimed Sir Keir didn’t “have the balls” to actually define precisely where he stood on this and that he was behaving like a “weather vane.”

The number of trans people living in the country works out at around 0.5% of the population, so quite how this has become such a toxic issues is mystifying. After all, back when we were living in caves we seem to have been able to work out the difference between men and women.

But back to “Unclear Keir” and this withering assessment by best-selling author JK Rowling, who wrote: “Imagine being such a coward you can only muster the courage to tell the truth once the Supreme Court has ruled on what the truth is.”

The PM needs to be “man enough” to concede he’s been on the wrong side of this argument since day one.
