Ms Phillips, Labour's safeguarding minister, took aim at her Tory counterpart for missing the debate despite Ms Kearns' claim that MPs were aware she was in hospital.
Ms Phillips said in Parliament: “The shadow minister in this brief isn’t here. The shadow home secretary who, certainly, whenever he got on the bandwagon, isn’t here.”

Responding on X, Ms Kearns said: “Yes [Jess Phillips], I wasn’t at the debate yesterday, I was at the hospital. Your colleagues know I’ve been away from Parliament for medical reasons, but you chose to attack me. So much for standing by women.”

READ MORE: Jess Phillips turns on Starmer by refusing to rule out inquiry on grooming gangs
Elon Musk made controversial remarks about Jess Phillips (Image: Getty)
Last month, Ms Kearns said she required hospital treatment due to "severe complications" during her pregnancy.
Claire Coutinho, the shadow energy secretary, added: “I look forward to Keir Starmer being appalled by this and calling on Labour MPs to stand up for [Alicia Kearns]”.
Ms Phillips has been approached for comment.
The row comes after Ms Phillips was criticised by Elon Musk for not backing a grooming gangs inquiry.
Mr Musk made the remarks on X, branding Ms Phillips “a witch” and a “rape genocide apologist."
The MP for Birmingham Yardley said this week that she worries about her safety and has had to make adjustments to her life following the comments.

She told ITV News: “Of course I worry about my safety. Of course, and you have to, you know, anyone who has worked in the fields of violence against women and girls. Risk is dynamic and I have to take account of the risks in my life and this is one of them currently.
“The things that he’s saying are so ridiculous as to initially make me just go what? But then you wake up with the realisation that that’s millions of people that he has said that to and you feel immediately like this is going to turn my world upside down and I have to try and limit for how long that is the case.
“But you know, your immediate, my immediate thought was like just, it’s sort of like, what a joke. And then the realisation of what this is probably going to mean for you.”
