Olivia Hartley is quite right - Susan Dalgety's piece in The Critic is well worth a read and here's a taster.
"Perhaps Nicola Sturgeon revealed more than she usually does in an uncharacteristically unscripted moment in Parliament recently. When senior Tory Murdo Fraser mentioned a protest attended by hundreds of women concerned about the “divisive” plans to introduce self-ID, the First Minister shouted “Shame on you!” at him."It’s doubtful if Sturgeon’s heckle was a serious attempt to shut down debate, as Fraser later suggested, but it does hint at a politician under pressure. As does her recent assertion in a BBC interview that the views of women who are against major reform are “not valid”.
"Perhaps the defining issue of her career will not, after all, be Scottish independence, but whether biological sex is real. Such is the surreal state of politics in Scotland today."
