Justin Webb lied, the BBC did not cut ties with Stonewall over suicide statistics

Justin Webb of BBC Radio 4 recently posted on Twitter regarding the BBC’s decision to back out of Stonewall’s Diversity Champions and Workplace Equality Index Schemes. He claimed that the BBC and “responsible organisations” cut ties with Stonewall over claims they had made in a 2017 School Report. The BBC response to a Freedom of Information request I sent does not corroborate this.
