Conservative minister Esther McVey bans EDI jobs and external spending in the UK's Civil Service.
Conservative minister Esther McVey announced a ban on jobs dedicated to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in the UK's Civil Service, calling them "woke hobby horses". The new guidelines will stop all external EDI spending, requiring it to be signed off by ministers. McVey plans to meet arms-length bodies that have spent heavily on EDI and will ask them to explain how this spending benefits taxpayers.
