Great news!

bignosebignose · 16/01/2023 17:53

most Scots were against it

Even SNP voters are pretty well divided. Obviously there will be howls of outrage from the usual suspects but it's not a popular bill.

ICouldHaveCheckedFirst · 16/01/2023 17:53

Hooray!

LangClegsInSpace · 16/01/2023 17:53

Good!

Datun · 16/01/2023 17:52

Good. And the unprecedented move will surely ramp up the debate over the bill.

Sunglasses out.

So very happy for us all.

Assume this was intended to be used as an independence statement, do you think it'll fly as a reason or does the fact most Scots were against it make it a mute point.

Possibly an own goal? must be many people thankful for UK gov intervention.

Yep. Most people don't care, tbh, and of those that do, the majority think self ID is wrong.

Right decision to block

AnneShirleysNewDress · 16/01/2023 17:52

I'm delighted. NS will be apoplectic.

Iamclearlyamug · 16/01/2023 17:51

Hurray! Finally something our government has done right!

ArabellaScott · 16/01/2023 17:51

Whoop whoop!

Interesting times. Smile
