Home Secretary Suella Braverman has ordered a review into activism in the police, such as the policing of gender-critical views on social media or taking the knee at protests.

Ms. Braverman asked His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) to examine police involvement in issues such as “gender identity” politics, critical race theory, or climate activism, and how much this involvement may be affecting the efficiency and legitimacy of operational policing in England and Wales by influencing policing policy, priorities, and practice.
