Four major Labour-affiliated unions are set to boycott the party’s women’s conference over the exclusion of trans women.
A spokesperson for Unison, one of Labour’s largest union donors, said: “The union’s decided against sending a delegation to Labour women’s conference this year.
A spokesperson for Labour for Trans Rights said they remain “extremely disappointed” by the party’s decision to exclude trans women from the conference.
“For decades, trans women members have had a home in Labour’s structures, and it’s not acceptable that they’re being so blatantly excluded.
“The Labour Party is following the law as set out in the Equality Act 2010 in relation to positive actions for women, including women’s conference.
