Anyone got a radar gun to start clocking the backpedaling from Stonewall?

TLDR: Stonewall is no longer advising institutions to remove the word "mother" from their policies. (Possibly related to the Nolan Investigates podcast series that came out earlier, where Nolan covered this fact.)

GASLIGHTING?: Stonewall executive denied that the group ever had this policy.

Nancy Kelley, the Stonewall chief executive, denied in an interview that such a policy existed. “We’re not interested in removing or erasing the word ‘mother’,” she said. Kelley, who has two adopted children with her wife, added: “I’m a mum. I’m married to another mum. It’s a deeply emotive term. I would be really upset if my children didn’t call me Mum.”
