The chief of the RAF has apologised after an inquiry found a diversity drive discriminated against white men in favour of women and ethnic minorities.

According to a report commissioned by the Ministry of Defence (MoD), in 2020 and 2021, 161 candidates, who were either women or from ethnic minority backgrounds, were accelerated into training places ahead of white males.
