Suella Braverman attacked what she described as a "rights culture" in Britain that did not exist before 1998, one year after Tony Blair became Prime Minister.
The Attorney General criticised equalities experts on "vastly inflated salaries" who have "misconstrued and weaponised" equality laws to fight those who challenge their views as perpetrators of hate speech.
In a speech to the think-tank Policy Exchange, Ms Braverman claimed many institutions are "misinterpreting" the Equality Act leaving many going "beyond the law", pressured by "moral obligations".
