The Metropolitan Police has dropped its lengthy investigation into a social media post made by gender-critical activist Maya Forstater last year.

Forstater, 51, who expressed her support for journalist Allison Pearson earlier this week, was contacted in June 2023 by police who invited her to a voluntary interview to share her side of the story.
