In quite the turnaround Scottish Labour say the support Sandie Peggie, and would not support the GRR bill "knowing what they know now"!

FFS. What is different now? It's not as if they weren't told over and over again what the consequences would be. 🙄

Swinney’s visibly relieved to only be baited on the woeful state of the NHS in Scotland, now.

I thought Findlay was very clear. He talked about the impact on girls and women across councils schools nhs and work from the policies that most of MPs and msps supported

Don't have time to read the full thread. But they were literally told what would happen and silenced the women saying it.

Back onto women and girls! Yay!

It’s going to be a cold day in hell before any of the captured SNP crowd admit they got this completely wrong, Swinney is just as much a weasel as Sarwar and those from the revolting Scottish Greens.

Cracking question from that MSP about sss in schools

It was a very clear question Then swinney deflected again

The PO should require the government to answer the question. She won’t of course, she never does.

She’s rubbish. Lets him get away with half-arsing it.

Yep, but we’ve all heard the question and all heard him refuse to answer it. Tells its own tale.

She isn't just rubbish, she has skin in the game and cannot be impartial. They should elect someone who can be.

The PO should not be a list MSP. No one votes for a list MSP.

It seems the PO is elected by MSPs - in other words, by the majority party/potential coalition partners….

Is there a link to any video footage of FMQs yet?
Only getting the live link.
I missed it.

It’s really poor if the PO is obviously biased, when she should be impartial.

you should be able to rewind to the beginning

I just swiped the button on the live link to the left the questions are right at the beginning.

Now Kate Forbes has spoken in favour of SS spaces.
TBF this isn't much of a surprise as she's a member of the wee frees.
Will she get banished to the back benches again?

Thanks for the link - watching now.
Didn't think much of SNP before - can the FM actually answer a question?

Oh, that's good to hear. Worth remembering the SNP are embroiled in their own internecine struggles. And Forbes was previously in the running for FM ...

'"Women's spaces must be for women and girls," he says.

Findlay asks if the FM agrees that every woman in Scotland should be entitled to this and to be able to say this without losing their job.'

Thank you, Russell Findlay.

India piping up as per. How did India know there were no trans people present? I mean , when India is in the room no one comments do they.

Or do they……..

STUC have come out to condemn labour's u-turn.

The labour conference will be really interesting. I doubt Sarwar will last long tbh.

Labour can't survive without the unions and the unions get away with this pish because most members aren't aware of their unions stance on this matter. Even if they are, they may feel they can't leave in case something goes wrong at work.

I’ve just watched. Great questioning from Findlay and Gosal.

Hmmm. How many politicians are going to be casualties of genderism?

Shona Robison. Shirley-Ann Somerville. Nicola Sturgeon. John Swinney. The Scottish Green Party.

Not to mention those who were pushed or left their parties because of it. It's political kryptonite.
