A better evidence base is slaying unsubstantiated shibboleths
Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has published the findings of an investigation into equality, diversity and Inclusion policies at work . Often conducted on social media, through piecemeal posts and aggressive soundbites, it epitomises how divided our politics can be, especially due to some progressive voices who sought to undermine concerns raised by groups of women. It has suffered from those who have dismissed criticisms of a gender ideology that they forcefully argued did not exist.
The reaction to the Cass review shows how we can have a better debate. Labour has pledged to implement its findings in full, with shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting acknowledging the “pretty scandalous” findings of the review. Some will be unwilling to give him much praise for repenting on his initial dismal response to discussion around trans issues, yet Streeting was at least open and clear about why his thinking has changed.
As with the trans debate, the Inclusion at Work panel showed that businesses were adopting positions on what they wanted to signal as opposed to what they did in practice. Or, as the report said, “performative gestures such as compulsory pronouns and rainbow lanyards are often a sign that organisations are struggling to demonstrate how they are being inclusive.
Immigration data has been notoriously sketchy for some time, creating the unhelpful dichotomy between whether net migration of “tens of thousand” is a good thing or not, without any nuance. The singlehanded campaign by Tory MP Neil O’Brien to gain more granular information on who exactly is coming to the UK is more of what is needed.
