When I see commentators using terms like “DEI” I immediately suspect that they’re trying to ignite a US inspired (and maybe funded?) culture war here. Because the acronym used in the UK is EDI - equality, diversity, inclusion - linked to the equality act 2010.

By Friday, Nigel Farage will either have lost his by-election bid to an alien bin, or his parliamentary standards investigation will be active again.
Either way, great news if you're not a fan.
