Labour has accused Liz Truss of setting an “appalling standard” on equality in government after it emerged that of more than 250 trade advisers she has appointed, fewer than a quarter are women, and 95% are white.
The analysis comes before Truss, who is minister for women and equalities as well as international trade secretary, announces a shift in government equality priorities away from gender and race.
