'A male Labour activist has been allowed to stand for a women-only position in the party by exploiting gender self-identification rules to declare he is female on Wednesdays.

David Lewis has told party officials he is a woman from when his alarm goes off at 6.50am until midnight each Wednesday - claiming 'if I say I'm a woman, I'm a woman'.

The declaration meets Labour's rules on gender-specific positions because of party guidelines on self-identification.'
