A Tory police tsar claims transgender activists and Left-wing rivals are trying to oust her over her anti-woke views on sex and gender.
Surrey Crime Commissioner Lisa Townsend survived a vote of no confidence after she criticised pro-trans lobby group Stonewall.
In a Mail on Sunday article, she had attacked Stonewall’s influence on policing policies, saying it spread a ‘dangerous transgender ideology that threatens the safety of our women and girls’.
Trans activists reported her to Surrey Police and Crime Panel, which cleared her of a breach of public conduct.
The PCP then received a complaint from Reigate Tory MP Crispin Blunt, a Stonewall supporter who backs allowing people to self-identify their sex. This too was dismissed.

Councillor Kel Finan-Cooke (pictured), an activist for the ‘LGBTQI+ Community’, accused Ms Townsend of ‘misusing her platform to campaign against the trans community’
The latest attack is from Liberal Democrat and Labour councillors in Surrey Heath, who passed a motion of no confidence in Ms Townsend.
They will write to the Home Secretary calling for her position to be axed. They add that she has abused her status to ‘promote Right-wing culture war talking points’.
Councillor Kel Finan-Cooke, an activist for the ‘LGBTQI+ Community’, accused Ms Townsend of ‘misusing her platform to campaign against the trans community’.
Last night Ms Townsend accused councillors of attacking her over her ‘public views on the need to protect women and children from the harm that male predators pose’.
A Liberal Democrat spokesman said: ‘It is our longstanding policy to abolish Police and Crime Commissioners. We believe taxpayers’ money should be invested in frontline policing instead.’
