A gender-critical Metropolitan Police detective who said she felt like “Daniel in the lion’s den” at an internal trans rights event has lost her employment tribunal case against the force.

Detective Constable Melanie Newman claimed to have suffered “isolation and dread” after a talk by a trans rights activist who said her “haters” had “twisted and warped” views.
