Gary Powell, the Bow Group’s Research Fellow for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, has written that if Prime Minister Boris Johnson — beset by the PartyGate scandal and a recent string of resignation of aides — wants to avoid a leadership challenge, then “the woke agenda must be replaced with a more traditionally conservative one”, including the cancelling of the Safe to Be Me international LGBT conference, organised with Stonewall UK.

Mr Powell wrote: “This event, organised in collaboration with the UK’s notorious gender lobby outfit, Stonewall UK, and overseen by the PM’s Special Envoy on LGBT Rights, Lord Herbert, is precisely the kind of unhelpful spectacle that is alienating not only Conservative MPs who oppose the woke agenda, but also swathes of the voting public who are sick and tired of the increasingly totalitarian influence of gender ideology and identity politics in British society.

“No self-respecting gay or lesbian person who has any idea of what is going on with gender ideology colonisation can any longer support Stonewall UK or any conference where they and the UK Government promote gender identity politics.”

“It is time for Conservative MPs to insist that the PM stop the harm he is causing when he encourages the appeasement of a gender lobby that is overwhelmingly anti-Conservative and that is causing very serious harm to the country … and to the Conservative vote,” the research fellow wrote.
