Suella Braverman is planning to impose strict vetting on diversity training courses for Home Office staff after criticisms from right-leaning media that the department has given in to “woke” culture.

Leaked documents show the Home Office has drawn up plans to halt courses that are deemed to promote policies contrary to those of the government, including critical race theory.
