'Outrage' if UK blocks Scotland's gender recognition reform bill, says Nicola Sturgeon

Scotland's first minister has warned the UK government against blocking gender legislation passed by the Scottish parliament, accusing ministers in Westminster of 'using trans people as a political weapon'.

Nicola Sturgeon said the move would create a 'very, very slippery slope indeed' and would embolden the UK government to do the same in other areas.

The SNP really need to get rid of this divisive individual.

Best news I have heard for a while. Unlucky Cranky and your weird mates.

The SNP don't give a toss about trans rights. This is just so they can act all outraged about Westminster interfering in Scottish politics.

[Time-traveller]

As a member of the Scottish population. I welcome the government challenging this upsurdity. And sturgeon is already using trans for political ends. Protection of british children must come first.

I don't get how law can deviate from kind weird IMO

[alomadinkadealova]

With all the important things to address in Scotland this government keeps setting the bar for ineptitude

[phillipbenchinho]

She is stirring it up for a independence run.. she knew what would happen and most scots will be against the bill but how will scots react to Westminster saying no even if its for the right reasons..

[ThomasKing]

This bill should be blocked, i agree with the government for a change.

Given that Sturgeon's entire life is spent insulting those with whom she disagrees particularly the UK government her hysterical response to every challenge to her demands is seriously irritating.

She rules the SNP like a despot where no member or MSP/MP dare to challenge her authority or like Cherry and Blackford to name but two they are likely to be sidelined or banished from sight.

Leaving aside her childlike tantrums if the legislation does not affect the Equalities Act then the court
will opine accordingly so she has no need to get too exercised about the UK "blocking" the Act.

You might think she has more pressing matters to occupy her time than this rather strange legislation
like the SNHS, teachers strikes and ferries that may never put to sea, for example but apparently not.

This world is really getting ridiculous, please Lord come 🙏

[pamelajessup]

Outrage at common sense.
A pantomime horse is not a horse.

[sankacoffey]

Lot of angry perverts raging that this didn’t go through!

[lal]

The stupidity of what she is advocating; clearly shows it is NOT within the competency of the Scottish parliament ! 🤔

[monkeynews]

Nicola is a disgrace. How about putting this to the people of Scotland? She's always banging on about the will of the Scottish people... The vast majority are disgusted by this bill she is trying to ram through.

[DM-leyi]

Huh, as a Scot I will be outraged if it isn't blocked

[harrietkinloch]

Thank goodness, it was evil! And very twisted!

[jimmyjesus]

so glad this has happened the disconnect from the snp to the average man on the street is mental.

Wokery must be mercilessly erased from politics and society
