"UK PM Sunak Under Fire for Transgender Jibe Amid Outcry"

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak declined to apologize for making a gender identity jibe at opposition leader Keir Starmer, despite drawing criticism in the wake of the widely reported recent murder of a transgender girl. Sunak's comments were seen as an attempt to illustrate Labour's changing stance on major policies, but were accused of insensitively exploiting a family tragedy. Sunak defended his remarks as "absolutely legitimate" in the political context, while facing calls for an apology from the victim's family and political opponents.
