Labour may cancel women’s conference over trans ruling chaos

  • Labour postponed its women's conference planned for September in Liverpool after the NEC voted to delay the event on Tuesday night.
  • The party made this decision following a recent April Supreme Court ruling that defined 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010 as referring to biological sex.
  • A leaked advice paper warned the NEC of significant legal challenges, protests, and security risks if the event proceeded without restricting attendance to biological women only.
  • The paper described restricting attendance as the 'only legally defensible alternative' and noted pending contractual costs related to the postponement, while Labour pledged to comply with the ruling sensitively.
  • The postponement triggered criticism from trans rights advocates as an exclusion attempt and from gender-critical groups as an overreaction, highlighting internal party tensions and possible political risks ahead of the autumn conference.
