Taxpayers have spent at least £200,000 on a Civil Service staff network that gave training comparing gender-critical activists with the Ku Klux Klan.
The Cabinet Office gave the Whitehall staff network for transgender civil servants, a:gender, £82,000 last year.
The Home Office gave the same group more than £110,000, with other departments spending unknown amounts.
It comes a week after Kemi Badenoch, the Minister for Women and Equalities, wrote in The Telegraph that <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/Ag79e/www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/03/20/kemi-badenoch-britain-diversity-drive-backfired/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the UK’s diversity drive had been “counterproductive” and criticised much equality, diversity and inclusion [EDI] training as “snake oil”.
