The Government agrees to 18 year olds
to change sex

He's playing right into her hands, this will be leveraged as a pro-independence argument. "Even if you disagree with the bill, this shows that Scotland doesn't truly have control over our own legislation" etc.

She knew it was getting blocked, just like she knew the referendum would be blocked. It's all part of the script.

Sturgeon is just becoming more & more of a deluded nuisance , and I still don't think she cares about women's rights or the impact of her decisions.

I still think it's the right decision to block it ,but I guess we'll see .
