A FORMER advisor to Boris Johnson is reportedly behind the UK Government's response to the passing of gender reform legislation in the Scottish Parliament.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said it is "completely reasonable" for the UK Government to consider taking action to stop Scotland implementing the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill, which MSPs voted through overwhelmingly on Thursday.
Scottish Secretary Alister Jack has even gone as far as threatening to launch a Section 35 order, which would block the Scottish Government from making the bill law despite gender recognition being a devolved issue.
