Fury as civil servants attend £500 ‘Queer Leadership’ training on taxpayer cash
CIVIL servants who went to a “Queer Leadership” conference on taxpayer cash have been slammed by the Government’s top lawyer.
Attorney General Suella Braverman said she was “supremely disappointed” to find her own staff ignored orders to cut the wokeness and attended the £500 per head diversity day in May.
The Sun has learnt “a small number” of officials at the Government Legal Department were involved.
The course boasted it would give the “tools and knowledge for building a more inclusive, healthier and sustainable Queer Future”.
Braverman — tipped to be the next Home Secretary if Liz Truss becomes PM — said: “I am supremely disappointed the GLD continues to indulge in divisive diversity training at taxpayer’s expense.
“Going forward, every item of expenditure that falls into this category must pass across my desk.”

A source close to her said: “The GLD were on very thin ice after Suella found all the divisive nonsense they were teaching lawyers about unconscious bias, despite a ministerial direction to ban it.”
The department also wasted public cash on a pottery painting day.
