In July 2020, The Guardian reported that 1990, Sewell had said in a column in The Voice newspaper that: "We heteros are sick and tired of tortured queens playing hide and seek around their closets.[12] The inquiry's findings resulted in the government agreeing to provide £26 million to improve teachers' subject knowledge as part of the London Schools Excellence Fund.[17][18] Trevor Phillips, the former chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission who supported the report, criticised the "white establishment" for not defending Sewell from criticism.[22] Commentators on race, education, health, and economics, chiefly from the political left, criticised the report's findings for downplaying the extent of racism in Britain.[25] A further study on racial disparity, led by Nissa Finney, a professor of human geography at the University of St Andrews specialising in inequalities and social justice, was published in April 2023.
