Tories declare 'war on woke' with demand to axe SNP diversity roles

Leader Russell Findlay has insisted public cash should not be spent on “bloated public sector networks stuffed with people wearing the most fashionable lanyards they can find”.

His party will outline this policy at the Scottish Conservative conference this weekend. In his sights are staff in diversity, equality or inclusion (DEI) posts, as well as policy documents promoting gender identities.

He also wants to “shine a light” on taxpayer-funded charities lobby-

'What are public services really for?'

ing SNP ministers without admitting where their funding comes from. It comes as the likes of Stonewall and Scottish Trans have had major influence over gender policies being put forward by the Scottish Government.

SNP ministers spend at least £4million a year on “woke” jobs, with staffing posts that had equality, diversity or inclusion in the title costing £3.97million in 2024-25.

Stinking rich will not pay your tax, Reeves

OK, SO I may not be burdened with a maths O-level — though I bet my 1977 D grade would be the equivalent of an A* today — but even I can do the basic calculations on this one. Rachel Reeves' “squeeze the rich till they suffocate” budget plan is an out and out stinker and doomed not only to ignominious failure but to subjecting people who’ve worked like the blazes to make ends meet all their lives to hellish worry and punitive suffering.
