They were told. But they can't issue a s35 until AFTER the Bill is passed and the Scottish Sec had no way of knowing what shape it would be in after stage 3. It might have been amended. This isn't complicated! https://t.co/8txMQG...
RT @WingsScotland: Do you support the UK government's intervention over the Gender Recognition Reform bill?
One reason for taking the second JR was to get this sort of clarity and force SG to say that they do believe GRA impacted the EA. They made the case for issuing a s35 order and have only themselves to blame. https://t.co/HVH8NX...
RT @alexmassie: This is, however, chiefly a legal argument. ‘The Scottish parliament should be allowed to act unlawfully’ (if this proves to be the case) is not really the defence the SG’a supporters think it is.

Shona didn't listen. Scot Gov deliberately impinged on reserved legislation. They created the situation where a s35 was not only lawful, but necessary. #WeBackJack #WeBackAlisterJack https://t.co/0Iq8Ki...
RT @andrewlearmonth: Statement from Alex Salmond's Alba on Section 35 order says Scottish Parliament has "created this sorry mess" and should "sort it out for themselves." Quote below comes from ex-SNP MP Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh. https://t.co/dMP6Ef...
RT @LucyHunterB: One of the surprising parts of this process was how very little the minister was subject to broadcast interviews, where she was asked to explain the Bill and choices made in it to the wider public. https://t.co/SWi9aW...
Surely a reporter from @ScotNational isn't openly advertising that she is planning a hugely one-sided propaganda piece? https://t.co/dJdhL6...
RT @WingsScotland: "Trans people are not predators" is a statement as moronic as "heterosexual people are not rapists". https://t.co/d3s3dc...
RT @FacundoSavala: This "full-frontal attack" should hopefully prevent *actual* full frontal attacks, from dangerous men in women's only spaces. ✅️ #GRRBill #WomenWontWheesht #NoToSelfID https://t.co/4MXzto...
How do you know he's a man? Quite... Maggie is perfectly happy to believe, however, that the rapist in question could really be trans. https://t.co/BPmS1f...

RT @fairplaywomen: @NicolaSturgeon @scotgov It’s @NicolaSturgeon who has ridden rough shod over the devolution settlement by overreaching into U.K. wide matters. UKG had to act. #weBackAlisterJack @ScotSecofState @10DowningStreet ...
The Scotland Act is Labour legislation (as is Equality Act). You betrayed the principles of both when you voted for this. #WeBackJack https://t.co/1Np3l3...

#WeBackJack Thank you @ScotSecofState https://t.co/3LnAPj...
Let us hope no more Parliamentary time or money is wasted on railroading this terrible Bill. Maybe Ms Sturgeon to concentrate on something trivial like the state of the NHS, drugs deaths, or education for a bit? https://t.co/nrFuvv...

Saved for posterity here: https://t.co/buZgtt... Can we have much more Maggie? She really highlights the lunacy of this "philosophy". https://t.co/NCH1Ll...

This was very funny. Maggie doesn't know what her sex is but she does know she isn't trans. From 4:40 https://t.co/R4X9wI... https://t.co/RO3BwV...
Do you "self-identify" as male, LGBTQIA+, "part of the global majority", working class & disabled? You do have to be 20 and Glaswegian... Are people not allowed to self-identify as those? What are the rules? https://t.co/1aKDxN...

Fair point... https://t.co/oeO2mp...
Another man is horrified that a woman believes in CEDAW rights and supports victims of sexual assault. https://t.co/CKtqnn...
