Last week’s Supreme Court ruling that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law is still taking up plenty of column inches on Monday. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer must break his silence on the ruling, the Daily Mail says. Sir Keir has been urged to publicly back it and not unpick it, the paper says.
The Daily Express reports that campaigners who won the landmark Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman are facing a campaign of “death threats and abuse”. Elsewhere on the page, the King is pictured attending a church service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. The Express writes the Duke of York, who also was in attendance, received an “Easter olive branch” from his brother, the King.
The Daily Telegraph is another paper still leading with the fallout from the gender ruling. It says the prime minister has refused to stop a plot by ministers to “thwart” the judgment. It writes Labour ministers and MPs will meet this week to discuss how to promote trans rights following the landmark judgement. The broadsheet’s main image is Queen Camilla dressed in blue and holding a bouquet at the Easter service.
