This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

Since Labour took office, 10,000 more children have been plunged into poverty by the refusal to scrap the two-child benefit cap.
Increasing military spending while millions of children go hungry is not a tough decision. It’s the wrong decision.
