‘Transphobes’ are swivel-eyed, says Labour MP in leaked audio

  • Labour MP Tim Roca criticized critics of trans rights as 'swivel-eyed loons' during a university event hosted by the University of Westminster, according to a leaked recording.
  • Roca called the Supreme Court's judgment on trans rights 'very depressing', contradicting the official Labour position which welcomed the ruling for bringing 'clarity' to the issue.
  • The Labour Party is facing internal conflict as leader Sir Keir Starmer plans to appoint Mary-Ann Stephenson, a gender-critical candidate, to head the Equality and Human Rights Commission, despite objections from trans rights campaigners.
  • Roca urged rational and compassionate debate on gender issues, emphasizing the need for reasoned discussions instead of anger.
