FlickThe Green Party is facing a fresh legal challenge after a transgender activist was elected to a position designed to boost female representation on one of its most powerful internal bodies. […]
It follows warnings from the Green Party’s own lawyers over the potential consequences of its approach.
A 53-page report leaked to The Telegraph last year said the party faced “material legal and financial risks”. It raised concerns that expulsions of members who questioned gender ideology had not always followed “due process” and suggested disciplinary action had sometimes been driven by “individual hostility to gender-critical beliefs, or assumed beliefs”.
The report also warned that internal guidance on identifying “queerphobia” risked discriminating against members with gender-critical beliefs, which are protected under the Equality Act, and said the party was spending almost £200,000 a year on legal costs and external investigations into disciplinary cases.
