British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was reportedly caught on video mocking radical gender theory — and a political opponent who subscribed to it wholesale — at a recent event with the 1922 Committee, a group of conservative members of Parliament.
The video was released by LGBTQ+ outlet PinkNews — where it was reported that Sunak, the conservative party’s leader since the exit of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, made the comments on June 5th. The outlet — along with a number on Twitter — claimed that Sunak was mocking trans-identifying women, although his comments appeared to directly and specifically address comments made by the leader of an opposition party.

In the video, which does not show Sunak’s face, the prime minister could be heard saying, “It shows his spectacular misjudgement and why he’s completely unfit to lead our country.”
While there was no context in the video to determine about whom Sunak was speaking, PinkNews surmised the barb was aimed at Labour Party leader Keir Starmer.
“Over the same period of time, you may have noticed Ed Davey has been very busy,” Sunak continued, referencing the Liberal Democrat party leader, who could be heard in a recent interview stating that it was “quite clear” that some women could have penises.
“Like me, you can probably see that he was trying to convince everybody that women clearly had penises,” Sunak said, prompting laughter as he added, “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.”
Davey’s comments on the subject came from several weeks earlier, when he responded to a voter who asked him to answer the question: “What is a woman?”
WATCH:
For yet another leader of a major political party to state that women can “quite clearly [have a penis]” shows just what people can really expect from the Lib Dems under Ed Davey.
Another stance that makes them indistinguishable from Labour under Starmer.pic.twitter.com/l4S4iyp1GI

“The vast majority of people whose biological sex is a woman when they were birth (sic), they feel they’re women … but there’s this very small number of people who don’t feel like that,” Davey said.
Presenter Nick Ferrari interjected then, asking, “Can a woman have a penis?”
“Well, quite clearly,” Davey responded.
