Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg mentioned the Equality Act must be scrapped to sort out “wokery” and restore widespread sense to the office.

The former enterprise secretary mentioned employees wanted to be allowed to “get on with their jobs, not spend all their time and energy in moralistic progressivism”.

Sir Jacob described the Equality Act as “wokery in legislative form” and argued Esther McVey will be unable to completely achieve her function because the Government’s minister for widespread sense except the laws is repealed.

He instructed GB News: “So, the minister for common sense was brought in to make sure that employees can spend their time doing the jobs for which they’re paid, not worrying about who’s tender sensitivities they may offend nor complying with ever emerging Newspeak nor filling a gender or race diversity quota.

“And this is the great aim for Esther. I wish her success, I want her to succeed: it is fundamentally important, it will lead to a better, more efficient state. But there is a difficulty and the difficulty is the Equality Act which creates the public sector equality duty, which has put wokery into legislative form.

“Before she can really win her battle, this Bill will need to be repealed and that way taxpayer value can be restored.”
