JL - Thank you, this is so impressive. Great work indeed.

Perhaps other 'news outlets' such as the dreadfully one-sided and myopic Guardian should take note of the ostensible level and depth of excellent research here. You clearly put most 'journalists' at the G to shame.

What a web of corrupt cronyism we have here. The level of selfish and egotistical thinking in this, business-wise, matches perfectly Wadhwa's attitude towards the very women that he is charged with protecting and helping.

If he is brought to book for this and suffers in anyway way mentally or financially, we must remember to call on him to 'Reframe his trauma'.

Proper journalism. The nationals should buy this and be ashamed that they didn't do the same level of research.

Brilliant journalism. This must be spread far and wide. He’s in it for the cash and to destroy women’s rights. A win-win for Wahdwa.

Mridul Wadhwa also submitted written evidence to the Women and Equalities Committee asking for the occupational single sex provisions in the 2010 equality act to be removed. This would, of course, mean rape crisis centres would have to invite all men to be candidates, (not just trans women) and wouldn't be able to discriminate against them when filling posts. Unbelievably selfish.

Here's the submission here: https://data.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/committeeevidence.svc/evidencedocument/women-and-equalities-committee/transgender-equality/written/19653.pdf

Wadhwa also admits here that "When I started working in this sector, I was not out as a trans person." which means he was very likely deceiving female victims of rape when undertaking councelling. Shocking.

I am seriously sickened by it all although I have known about sacro, vahanomy, and the connections to mw. He has his fingers in many pies and is on other boards Engender is one of them. It is filthy just filthy. Thank you Graham for getting this out.

When these local councils who are using the publics money, which is of course no skin off their noses, in order to virtue signal and flag up their obeyance to the cult of men who loses? both these men have twigged that jobs and contracts in the public sector are gravy trains to bend to their will.

Total scum! The Times in the UK have written against this, so it's a small measure of comfort. I don't understand however why he wasn't sacked for lying on his application form. I'm sure there used to be something about it before you signed a form.

More excellent journalism from JL. MW is a walking swamp of corruption and he needs t be removed from any contact with vulnerable people of either sex.

"Prejudiced" would be refusing to see an Indian female counsellor. It is not prejudiced for a woman to refuse to discuss rape with an Indian male counsellor. Mridul really doesn't care about the rape victims here.

So the lying narcissist who demonstrates an absence of empathy for actual damaged & vulnerable women may be influencing the diversion of funds away from services for them to his husband's business?

Well colour me shocked!

(Brilliant work JL)

This, again, is brilliant. Thank you.

'Gaps' in services. Hmm. 'Gaps' that are developed and created so a new 'provider' can 'provide' a 'service'. Genius. I need some Ella and Louis here...You say Serco, I say Sacro. Serco, Sacro, let's call the whole thing off. Mr Menno can you help? Noone doing fit and proper person tests any longer?

This is good investigating. Could you please put that public so we can share it? I think it's important that this reaches as many people as possible.
