That a UK Government with just six MPs in Scotland can block the overwhelming democratic will of the Scottish Parliament in an entirely devolved area should wake some folk up as to how the UK actually works.
Scottish Secretary says UKgov is using a S35 order to block a Holyrood bill (for the first time) due to concerns that the gender reforms would have “an adverse impact on the operation of Great Britain-wide equalities legislation”
