Humza was quickest on the draw. The Bute House agreement is over.
Humza Yousaf is convening a special cabinet meeting to discuss the future of the Green-SNP coalition. The Scottish Green Party seem to have already made up their minds. It’s a Bute House stand off. So who’s going shoot first? iainmacwhirter.substack.com/p/for-planets-…

Yousaf can’t ignore Cass. GRR Bill is toast-Starmer won’t lift the UK veto. Bill to outlaw trans “conversion therapy” is dead on arrival. Puberty blockers have to go plus transing of schoolkids. Ditto public funding of lobby groups. SNP needs to move fast. thetimes.co.uk/article/parent…
It's understandable that feminists who've been attacked for years as transphobes feel that the Cass Report is a bit mild. But it's all there. Possibly the biggest child abuse scandal since Cleveland. (Free to read) open.substack.com/pub/iainmacwhi…

@iainmacwhirter Having actually read the Hate Crime Act and discussing with a few Polis I ken, it seems your assumption is correct. Lawyers will have a field day in court as the legislation is ineptly so ambiguous. What is not clear is why the SNP continue with these controversial laws.

The next question of course is will @jk_rowling have a “non-crime hate incident” recorded against her name in respect of these comments which were not deemed criminal? I think we need a statement from @PoliceScotland on that too.
@iainmacwhirter The vagueness is a feature, not a bug. This is exactly how the new Hong Kong Security Law works. This is what Putin's laws look like.
@iainmacwhirter Really good piece Iain. Absolute model of clarity about what has gone (is going) wrong here.
Well said @iainmacwhirter. #HateCrimeAct
@iainmacwhirter As a retired Police Detective, I can say without hesitation that this is the worst & most destructive, intrusive ‘law’ I’ve ever seen. We are a hairs breadth from the Stasi. They will record everything about you. There will be a database. You will be monitored. Trust me.
