Irish comedian says UK PM Starmer hides from culture wars as 'ordinary people' fight daily battles

Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan, who has drawn criticism for his comments on transgender issues, testified before Congress Wednesday, arguing that the U.K.’s free speech battles have left "ordinary people" fighting culture-war disputes without clear leadership.

Linehan previewed his message during an appearance earlier that day on "Fox & Friends," where he criticized U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer for avoiding the debate over transgender policies now playing out in courts, on the streets and online.
