Keir Starmer refuses to rule out copying Nicola Sturgeon’s gender self-ID plan if he gets into No10
SIR Keir Starmer yesterday refused to rule out copying Nicola Sturgeon’s gender self-ID plan in England if he gets into No10.
The Labour chief insisted it was “not a priority” but declined to say whether he would echo the controversial Scottish bid to make it easier for people to change their legal sex.
It came as Sir Keir swerved trying deep-fried Mars Bar on a trip to Scotland – in a bid to avoid an Ed Miliband-style bacon sandwich meltdown.
Critics of the planned SNP law say it would allow predators to take advantage of the looser rules to gain access to female-only spaces like changing rooms or prisons.
Rishi Sunak has halted the Scots bid and pushed SNP chiefs to change it.
Labour is split over the trans policy, with some fearing a voter backlash if they pursue it in England.
Asked by The Sun for a Yes/No answer on whether he’d introduce self-ID for England if he gets into No10, Sir Keir said: “It’s not a priority for the Labour Party.
“I’ve made absolutely clear what my priorities are, the five missions that I set out.
“We will inherit a very badly damaged United Kingdom, a badly damaged economy, public services absolutely on their knees, if not on their face, and living standards that have been at best stagnant for well over a decade here in Scotland, and across the United Kingdom.
“So I’m very clear what my priorities are going into government.” But his aides cut off further questions about whether he would push ahead with the policy.
The fallout from the SNP gender move – and male-bodied trans rapist Isla Bryson initially being sent to a women’s nick – is widely credited with Ms Sturgeon’s decision to quit last month.
The Scottish Bill aimed to allow anyone aged 16 or over to change sex on their birth certificate in a six-month process, simply by signing a legal declaration.
Sir Keir also claimed the SNP was “falling apart” following Sturgeon’s shock resignation – and insisted only Labour could bring real change.
But he said he wouldn’t make the mistake of scoffing a deep fried Mars Bar on camera – in a nod to Ed Miliband’s infamous bacon roll incident in 2015.
He said: “The first day I became Labour leader, I was given very good advice, which is: Never eat on camera. And I’m not going to break that advice today.”

My boyfriend keeps sneaking out at night and refuses to explain – am I worrying too much?
DEAR DEIDRE: MY boyfriend keeps doing a disappearing act in the middle of the night but refuses to explain.
I moved in with him a year ago but over the past couple of months he is always trying to sneak off in the dead of night.
Sometimes he’s gone for ten minutes, other times it’s more like a couple of hours.
We’re both 28.
He won’t say where he’s going, just that he’ll be back soon.
We had a big argument about it and he said he doesn’t have to answer to anyone. Am I reading too much into it and worrying about nothing?

DEIDRE SAYS: There are lots of explanations for his midnight activity – he could be involved in drugs, another woman, or even stealing.
But one thing is for sure – it isn’t legitimate, or he wouldn’t hide it.
Tell him that you cannot stay in a relationship without honesty and if he has a problem you are ready to help.
But if he continues behaving like this, it’s over.

My mother-in-law hates my baby daughter’s name and refuses to ever use it – but people think she has a valid reason
A MOTHER accidentally gave her baby girl the same name as her father-in-law’s mistress – because of this, her husband’s mother refuses to say the child’s name.
The woman and her husband decided to keep the name of their second child a secret from their family members.

It wasn’t until the birth of their daughter that they finally revealed to the mother-in-law what her granddaughter’s name was.
However, the mother-in-law became upset and that’s when the couple learned their daughter had the same name as a mistress from the mother-in-law’s past.
“For days afterward, she would call my husband crying and pleading with him to change our baby’s name, telling him he should never have kept it a secret,” the mother wrote to Abigail Van Buren – AKA Dear Abby.
According to the woman, her mother-in-law vowed never to speak the child’s name and only refers to her as “little one.”
The mother said she received a generous gift from her mother-in-law but didn’t know how to thank her since it seems she doesn’t want to talk.
“At this point, she hasn’t checked in with me, the one who gave birth.”
In her response, Abby said that it was “unfortunate” that the woman and her husband chose a name for their daughter that was the same as the woman her father-in-law cheated with.
“If your mother-in-law’s solution to the problem is to refer to her granddaughter as ‘little one,’ accept it,” wrote Abby.
She added that the nickname seemed “very loving” and it might be the best way for the mother-in-law to cope with her granddaughter’s name.
Abby also suggested that the mother write a thank you note for the generous gift she received.
“Sign it, ‘With love from (your name) and ‘Little One,’ with I think is a sweet nickname.”
Meanwhile, a son and daughter shared their very unique baby names given to them by their father, who was a famous 80s pop star.
Also, a man revealed that his parents used the same name for himself and his sister but he’s too lazy to change it.
