A HOUSE of Lords canteen has been given a roasting for serving a rainbow-coloured “Pride crumble” dessert.
Peers and staff working on the Parliamentary estate have been offered the woke sweet treat, pictured above, to mark Pride month.
Portions of the pudding were on offer yesterday for £2.15 with custard.
Only last week, rainbow couscous was on the menu in the River Restaurant overlooking the River Thames.
But campaigner Fiona McAnena questioned whether the colourful crumble had been created after so-called Progress Pride flags were removed from the cafeteria earlier this week.
Ms McAnena, who represents the Sex Matters charity, added: “Whoever is behind this may think that they are supporting a noble cause.
“But do they really support the reality of what the transgender rights flag represents, including sterilising surgeries, cross-sex hormones that cause permanent physical damage, and rapists in women’s prisons?”
Tory peer Baroness Nicholson had demanded the cafeteria’s Pride flags be taken down as they had not been given proper permission.
The latest row comes weeks after Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party said town halls under its control would be stopped from flying LGBTQ+ and Pride flags.
Reform said it would allow only the St George’s Cross and the Union flag to be displayed.
