Trans ruling: Ben Habib trashes Supreme Court for ‘telling us what we already know’ – ‘A complete WASTE’
Watch the moment Great British PAC Chairman Ben Habib rips apart the Supreme Court after its landmark ruling on the definition of a woman.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is under pressure to break his silence on the matter after the ruling which Habib said was a case of the top court “telling us what we already know”.
The ex-Reform UK deputy leader says the whole situation underlines Britain’s need for “common sense in high office”.
Speaking on GB News, he said: “It’s a very sad reflection on the state of the country that it takes a Supreme Court ruling, a complete waste of taxpayers’ money apart from anything else, to tell us what we already know.

“People who suffer it deserve compassion, deserve support and deserve not to be prejudiced against.
“That doesn’t make them one or the other. As a society and a country, this is liberalism gone mad. Western civilisation is killing itself on the back of liberalism.
“We have allowed common sense to be hijacked.”

Judges stressed that the law still protects transgender people.
Protesters have descended on cities across the country in a stand against the move branded a “backwards step” for equality.
In the ruling Judge Lord Hodge said gender reassignment was a “protected characteristic”.
The ruling also said biological interpretation of sex was also needed for single-sex spaces, including public toilets and changing rooms, for them to “function coherently”.
The judges added: “The practical problems that arise under a certificated sex approach are clear indicators that this interpretation is not correct.”
