Watch @UKLabour councillor @KevinPrice57 resign live at full Cambridge Council meeting
"Trans rights are human rights. Of course that is indisputable"
"The first three sentences of this motion will send a chill down the spines of the many women who believe

there is a conflict of rights and who want to be be able to discuss those in a calm and evidenced based way, as indeed was shown by World Rugby in its recent decision to exclude transgender women in those areas of the sport which it controls on the grounds of safety and fairness

for women...In 10 years I have never once voted against a Labour motion on this council, because I am on this council as a member of Labour Group. That is not a principle which I intend to break now....But there are also times when principle - or conscience if you prefer - must

be weighed against the pull of party. In all conscience I cannot vote for this motion or this amendment. I have therefore decided that I am standing down as a Cambridge City Labour Councillor with immediate effect and will email the Chief Executive to confirm that on my

departure from this meeting at the conclusion of these remarks.
It has been a pleasure and a privilege to serve the people of Cambridge. Thank you."

We say Thank You Kevin.
