The SNP wants 16-year-olds to be able to change gender. But its own sentencing quango says brains don’t fully mature until the age of 25. How can these both be coherent policies?

Quite a U-turn by Sturgeon today on cutting isolation periods, having originally strongly insisted against it. Her government is all over the place on Covid - spinning, busking, shifting stance. The priority is stirring up cross-Border rows.
