Long-Bailey speaks for trans rights

Labour leadership contender **Rebecca Long-Bailey** has spoken up for trans rights in an interview with the BBC’s political editor, Laura Kuenssberg.

The current shadow business secretary stated she was “very firm in supporting the rights of trans people” and that “trans women are women”.

She also said the law should allow trans people to self-identify their gender.
