Britain’s Tories Are About To Get Slaughtered Because They’re Not Actually Conservative
When you’re at an all-time low in public support, deciding to tune out the public even further isn’t a good look.
While delivering a speech at the Conservative Party conference, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak noted the obvious truth that men are men and women are women.
"And we shouldn't get bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be. They can't. A man is a man. And a woman is a woman. That's just common sense," Sunak declared, earning hearty applause from the audience.

But people on social media pounced on the prime minister's reality-based assertion.
"2023 in Britain is not a safe place to be trans. I am furious, I am tired and I am scared. Solidarity and love with all trans people," one person wrote on X.
"This makes me so angry. I am scared. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and the mother of a trans/nb child, I am scared," someone else wrote.
"And the country becomes increasingly more terrifying. I honestly don't know what to say at this point, I'm full of fear and anxiety for my daughters future and her safety. Hate seems to be winning," another account posted, "and I feel sick to my stomach that we live in this country."
During his speech, the prime minister touched upon issues that are also topics of debate over in the U.S., including illegal immigration and support for Ukraine.
"It is non-negotiable that you, the British people, decide who comes here, and not criminal gangs," Sunak said on the topic of illegal immigration.
The British official also touted his nation's support for Ukraine.
"We were the first country to send Western battle tanks to Kyiv. Now more than 10 others have followed. We were the first country to send long-range weapons to Kyiv. Now France and the United States have followed. We were the first country to agree to train Ukrainian pilots. Now more than a dozen others have followed," he said. "I say this to our allies: If we give President Zelenskyy the tools, the Ukrainians will finish the job. Slava Ukraini!" Sunak declared.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is under fire after a video surfaced showing him mocking a liberal politician who believes in trans ideology.
Video from a meeting of conservative politicians on June 5, which was leaked to PinkNews, showed Sunak making fun of Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, a minority party in the British government. Davey is a supporter of trans ideology, and he believes that trans women (i.e., biological men) should be afforded the same rights as biological women.
"You may have noticed Ed Davey has been very busy. Like me, you can probably see that he was busy trying to convince everybody that women clearly had penises," Sunak said.
"You'll all know that I’m a big fan of everybody studying maths to 18, but it turns out that we need to focus on biology to 18," he joked.
Davey's views on trans ideology, Sunak also said, demonstrate his "spectacular misjudgement" and "why he's completely unfit to lead our country."

Sunak was referring to his plan to mandate math studies for British students until they reach age 18. The plan seeks to combat a below-average numeracy among British adults.
By applying his plan to biology, Sunak suggested that more education could undermine trans ideology that masquerades as if human biology does not establish clearly designed biological sex in the absence of rare genetic disorders.
Downing Street responded to the video Monday by defending Sunak. A spokesperson for the premier said he was targeting Davey specifically, not trans people generally.
"You've heard the prime minister talk about his enormous compassionate understanding for people questioning their identity and that they should be treated with dignity and respect," the spokesperson said, the Guardian reported. "On this specific issue, these are points he's made in interviews, publicly ... My understanding is that this was a joke aimed at a political opponent rather than a specific group."
Personally, Sunak believes that trans people should be "respected," but believes biology is "important" and "fundamental" when considering the impact of trans ideology on public policy.
