Civil servants criticise Tory leadership candidate’s remarks as she sets out plan to ‘protect British Jewry’
Liz Truss has set out a plan to “protect British Jewry” from “creeping antisemitism” and “woke culture” in the civil service, while praising Jews for holding values such as protecting the family unit and setting up businesses.
The Conservative leadership candidate published a plan that targets “woke civil service culture that strays into antisemitism”. She did not give examples of this but it is thought to be a reference to councils and their pension funds that participate in boycott, divestment, sanctions (BDS) policies that involve cutting ties with businesses that invest in Israel.
