‘A more cynical observer might suggest that Brown’s objection to Ash Regan’s bill is more about internal party politics than effective lawmaking.’ edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…
The buck stops with the government for this legal, financial and reputational mess! Follow the law NOW on sex based protections - in Scotland’s hospitals, schools, prisons and across public life! Justice must be unimpeded at the employment tribunal of nurse Sandie Peggie vs.…
The law does not lack clarity; what we lack is courage in Government and a leadership that sets a clear tone for lawful, evidence-based policy across public life. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

Child marriage is a stain on Scotland. SNP government must act now to end it. And thanks to @AshReganMSP for once more for standing up for women and girls. Me ✍️ in @TheScotsman (link in replies)

📢 Ask your MSPs to back the Unbuyable Bill! @AshReganMSP has introduced a bill to criminalise paying for sex while decriminalising & supporting victims of sexual exploitation. Because sexual consent is #unbuyable Email your MSPs 👉 amodelforscotland.org/take-action Ash on the bill ⬇️
And yet we have seen a push back against @AshReganMSP's #unbuyablebill. Why would decent people want to perpetuate VAW?
