Eddie Izzard arriving for the South Bank Sky Arts Awards at The Savoy in London. Picture date: Sunday July 10, 2022.has accused two MPs of “bullying” after they made “transphobic” comments about the comedian, who is campaigning to become a Labour election candidate.
Earlier this week, Conservative MP Lee Anderson said he “would not follow him into the toilets” if she came to parliament, while Labour MP Rosie Duffield said: “I’m not calling Eddie Izzard a woman.” She added that the Labour MP’s comments did not make her feel unwelcome to run as a candidate for the party, but added: “Again, join the 21st century – trans people exist. I exist.”
On Labour’s election prospects, Izzard said new prime minister Rishi Sunak could pose more of a threat and that the party needs to get behind leader Sir Keir Starmer.
