Not because they are seeing sense, but because the Haldane judgement was so scathing there is no chance of winning https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/23999697.scottish-government-drop-legal-action-section-35/#comments-anchor

I may agree with a lot of Joanna Cherry’s views on GRR but she is deluded if she thinks Nicola Sturgeon and her acolytes would have written a Scottish constitution that would have stopped this, especially when you consider how the SNP totally misrepresented the decision of a Scottish judge in a Scottish Court in parliament today (and their ambition to regulate the judiciary).

It’s a year tomorrow since the gender reform bill was passed by Scottish Parliament. Yesterday SNP/Green government admitted defeat and filed it under “pending” probably for ever. Here’s my column from last Christmas - as I predicted, women never gave up

On 22-12-22 the GRR Bill was passed and a very angry woman @GussieGrips raised her skirt in Holyrood whilst shouting that the politicians were terrible people. Today the GRR Bill is dead and Nic no longer FM. What a difference a year makes. Merry Terfmas! Long live the merkin!
