UKA said its position is that athletics should "remain an inclusive sport" but it is "fair" that athletes who have gone through male puberty should be excluded from the female category. That exemption states sporting organisations can discriminate on grounds of sex in a "gender-affected activity" and discriminate on grounds of gender reassignment where necessary to secure "fair competition" or "the safety of competitors". The governing body - which contributed to the formation of World Athletics' policy - said it had received the "required assurances" that the sporting exemption in the Equality Act 2010 applies to the Gender Recognition Act 2004, after previous concerns.

Murray Lambell, the general manager of eBay UK, said he was glad to hear the home secretary make a clear definition between illegal and legal immigrants - and that he hoped all could be treated "with care and dignity to make sure wherever they get resettled, they can do so successfully and happily". She also accused the Home Office of failing to "engage with business". NFU president Minnette Batters said the UK doesn't have enough unemployed people to do the jobs that are available, which is "holding our economy back". "That already hard working professionals should call out when they hear about child sexual abuse - this is already happening," she told Laura Kuenssberg, adding that the blame game is "not helpful. Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin asked Braverman where she'd been "because certainly some of the suggestions she was making are already in train".
