The Insolvency Service is the latest organisation to leave controversial Stonewall! “Unfortunately, there are concerns around impartiality and upon review, we found that the contract did not represent value for money.” The Insolvency Service joins a growing list of companies and organisations who have realised that membership of Stonewall creates risks.

Stonewall attempts to have equalities watchdog #EHRC stripped of independent status! But #Stonewall itself faced questions on whether the move was linked to the fact that the EHRC has recently been distancing itself from the increasingly controversial charity and its guidance on trans rights.
