The Free Speech Union, which is defending Woods, says he is one of more than 250 employees it is representing in similar circumstances across the country.

On Monday, Lord Young, the director of the Free Speech Union and co-founder of the West London Free School, said he agreed with Ms Birbalsingh’s comments.
He wrote on X: “If people are worried that [Sir Hamid] will encourage secular school leaders to visit Tauheedul Islam Boys’ School and Tauheedul Islam Girls’ School to learn from their success, they shouldn’t be. All school leaders can learn valuable lessons from the success of those schools, as I did. They are successful … because they combine the discipline and high expectations of the best grammar schools with the inclusive, welcoming atmosphere of the best comprehensives.”

The Free Speech Union supported Smith throughout the investigation. Its General Secretary, Lord Young, said: “Linzi should never have been investigated for a hate crime for saying trans women aren’t women, any more than she should have been banned from Newcastle games.” He added: “I’m delighted that Northumbria Police have now admitted their error and apologised and I look forward to Newcastle now lifting its ban. No one should be punished by a football club for expressing a point of view that is perfectly legitimate, not remotely hateful and which 99 per cent of the club’s fans agree with.”
