The UK Government, according to The Telegraph, is set to initiate a crackdown on civil servants who are accused of using their positions to engage in diversity-related activism. This move includes a review of Whitehall diversity networks and an update to the civil service impartiality guidance, aimed at halting officials from utilizing their jobs as platforms for political activism. Plans are also in place to ban civil servants from attending diversity-related meetings during working hours. Political commentator Peter Spencer noted that 'a certain amount of wokery has crept into the civil service mindset.' Meanwhile, LBC's Sangita Myska criticized Kemi Badenoch's involvement in the crackdown, pointing out her own ethnic minority background.
