Rishi Sunak has been “shocked” by the prime minister’s remarks in the Commons today, according to the father of Brianna Ghey, a transgender girl who was murdered.
Speaking to Sky News, Peter Spooner claimed that Mr. Sunak’s comments during the PMQs, which Esther Ghey, the family of the schoolgirl, attended, were “degrading” and “completely dehumanizing.”
He remarked that it was definitely dehumanizing for the prime minister of our nation to make disparaging remarks like he did, regardless of whether they were related to parliamentary conversations.
“Names of people should not be used in that way, and I privately feel shocked by his remarks and believe he should apologize for them.”

Sir Keir Starmer was the target of Mr. Sunak’s social jab at transgender people, claiming that the Labour head had broken his vows to “define a girl.”
The prime minister hasn’t offered an apology.
But, it is understood that Brianna’s community has now been invited to a conference with Mr. Sunak and Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan to discuss website security, which her family is working to improve.
We are bringing down the waiting lists for the longest chefs and making headway, but it is a little prosperous to learn about guarantees from someone who has broken every one promise he was elected on, Mr. Sunak said during his conversation with Sir Keir.
“Over the past year, I believe I have counted close to 30. Pensions, planning, sinecures, public business pay, tuition costs, child care, following referendums—all of which, to be fair, were only 99% of a U-turn—were used to define women.
99.9% of people, according to Sir Keir, “haven’t got a penile.”
When the Labour leader met Brianna‘s mother on Wednesday, he denounced the remark and was greeted by a swarm of opposition lawmakers who exclaimed, “Shame!”
When Brianna’s mommy is in this room, of all the weeks to state that, Sir Keir said.
Being a man of integrity when he has no obligations whatsoever.
It’s unfortunate that the prime minister does n’t share the responsibility of making sure that every citizen in this nation feels safe and respected.
During the session, Liz Twist, a Labour MP, called Mr. Sunak to apologize, but he didn’t answer her call.
Sunak’s comments are criticized by Tory MPs.
Even previous young secretary Dehenna Davison, who warned in a blog on X that “our words in the House appeal straight across our society,” said it was “disappointing to speak jokes being made at the trans society’s expense.”
Former Republican business minister Jackie Doyle-Price, who was speaking on Times Radio, claimed that Mr. Sunak’s use of the joke in that context was “negligent” and “very ill-judged,” but he also accused detractors of “militarizing” it.
Afterwards, Mr. Sunak’s press secretary denied that the comment was transphobic and repeatedly declined to apologize for his speech, claiming that it was a “legitimate” criticism of Labour.
If you look up on what the prime minister was saying, you’ll see that the leader of the opposition had been making a long list of U-turns.
I don’t believe those U-turns are a joke; rather, they represent very significant changes in public policy. I believe the primary minister’s pointing those out is entirely reasonable.
The Prime Minister was talking about something today that had absolutely nothing to do with this situation, Treasury Minister Laura Trott added to the Elections Hub with Sophy Ridge, adding that she did not believe the primary minister had done anything wrong.

Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe, both 15 years old, killed Brianna, 16, when the girl was stabbed to death in a Cheshire area in February of last year.
Jenkinson was sentenced to prison last week for at least 22 times, and Ratcliffe was given a minimum of 20 times. When they turn 18, the pair, who are both 16 years old, may be moved to adult jails.
The judge claimed she had taken into account the “sadistic” and “transphobic hostility” of her killers during the sentencing when they were first named.
Mr. Sunak addressed Brianna’s mom, who has been working to prevent kids from using social media apps on their devices, to wrap up PMQs.

“If I could only tell Brianna Ghey’s family, who is here, as I did before this year, what happened was an indescribable and startling tragedy,” he said.
In light of that, as I stated earlier this year, I believed that her mother showed the very best of humanity in spite of witnessing the most horrifying aspects of it by exhibiting the compassion and empathy that she did next weekend.
She merits all of our respect and admiration for that.
