Controversial pro-trans lobby group Stonewall received more than £1.1 million from the public purse last year, new figures have revealed. The think-tank TaxPayers’ Alliance found 14 per cent of Stonewall’s total income of £7,779,924 for 2022-23 came from the taxpayer. The Foreign & Commonwealth Development Office gave £173,034 to Stonewall – the group’s largest single public benefactor. A Government source responded: “No body funded by taxpayers should be paying external organisations to do their diversity and inclusion work. Health Minister Will Quince also cautioned NHS England trusts against succumbing to Stonewall capture, after a Daily Mail investigation uncovered the involvement of the LGBT lobby group in writing gender policies for dozens of NHS trusts in England.
