Watch: Lloyd Russell-Moyle called out over his behaviour in gender debate

Lloyd Russell-Moyle, Labour MP for Brighton Kemptown, received a rather humiliating dressing down in the Commons today. His ticking off followed the Health Secretary’s statement on Dr Hilary Cass’s report into gender services. During his intervention, a holier-than-thou Russell-Moyle welcomed the report for moving the discussion on but claimed that his reading of the review found fault with people being ‘particularly nasty and vicious on all sides’. The Labour MP spoke of how he had faced abuse himself over the trans issue, and posters with ‘rude words’ had been put outside his house.

What Mr S can’t quite comprehend is that this MP — who appeared to be lecturing the Chamber on common courtesy — is the same Russell-Moyle who, after shouting down Tory MP Miriam Cates during a discussion on Scotland’s gender bill in January 2023, was accused of trying to further intimidate the vocal women’s rights campaigner by going to sit by her on the Tory benches.
