Labour's Newfound Position on the Gender Recognition Act

Labour have promised to simplify and reform the Gender Recognition Act that helps trans people officially change their gender identity.

Self ID will NOT be Labour policy - you will still need a medical assessment to transition. And they are drawing clear lines between sex and gender.

Will this help politicians answer the toxic question of whether a woman can have a penis? And what does it tell us about Labour's direction of electoral travel? Who are they trying to please?

Later we look at the protests in Israel and what the new 'reasonableness vote' means for Israel's claim on democracy.
