I’ve had “fucking poof!” shouted at me, been struck with a brick, been relentlessly targeted at school, and been cornered by guys threatening to “cut the gay boy’s throat!" - all for just existing.

Landlords claiming they will leave properties empty if they can’t raise rents? Nonsense. They want revenue.
The threat they’ll sell up? Bring it on. More houses on the market will mean lower prices for council buy backs and first time buyers.

Whatever your thoughts on the GRR Bill or on the Deposit Return Scheme (policies I support), it cannot be right for the UK government to routinely veto Scottish legislation.
The point of devolution is that what isn't reserved is permitted. Devolution is dead otherwise.
