Labour is facing pressure to reevaluate its stance on gender laws after a Supreme Court ruling stated that transgender women are not legally women. A health minister, Karin Smyth, refused to specify which changing room transgender women should use, despite the unanimous ruling. The president of one of Britain's largest unions, which gives Labour millions annually, stated that the decision does not change its pro-trans policy. Labour MPs and LGBT+ groups criticized the court's findings, while Chancellor Rachel Reeves was evasive about whether Keir Starmer should apologize for criticizing her statement that only women have a cervix.

Rachel Reeves will meet White House officials next week at a summit, as hopes grow that a trade deal with Washington is close. The Chancellor confirmed she will have "conversations with the US administration" when she travels to America for the International Monetary Fund annual meetings. This comes as White House officials believe a UK-US trade deal could be reached within three weeks.

According to YouGov research, only 24% of Brits believe Labour "cares about ordinary people", the lowest score since 2019, down from 27% two months ago. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer’s personal standings have taken a hit with a net rating of minus 34, while Rachel Reeves' level has plunged to minus 48, with nearly two-thirds viewing her poorly and only 14% having a positive impression.

Dan Biddle, a survivor of the 7/7 terror attacks who lost both legs, an eye, and his spleen, has criticized Labour's disability cuts as "lunacy" that targets vulnerable individuals. He understands the difficulties faced by the 16 million disabled people in the UK and believes the cuts will have a devastating impact. Biddle questioned whether the government considered how to actually get people back into work beyond just announcing savings figures, and felt that Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer’s plans were unfair to those who cannot defend themselves.
