Rishi Sunak is under pressure from scores of backbenchers over 'inappropriate' sex education lessons that are teaching primary-age pupils about masturbation and gender identity. 

Almost 50 Tory MPs are demanding intervention over teaching they say is 'inaccurate, sexualising, graphic and age-inappropriate'.

Miriam Cates, the Penistone and Stocksbridge MP who organised the letter, last week presented the Prime Minister with a dossier of parents' concerns about what their children are being taught. 

It included primary school children being taught about masturbation, while 12-year-olds are asked how they felt about oral and anal sex and those aged 13 being told about gender fluidity.
