FORMER Labour first minister Henry McLeish has expressed fears that the UK Government’s decision to veto Holyrood’s gender reform legislation could result in a “slide towards independence”.
McLeish was central to the passing of the Scotland Act in Westminster and has told the UK Government to “grow up” in its dealings with the Scottish Government.
Scottish Secretary Alister Jack was accused of “not having a clue” on Tuesday as he addressed the Commons on the UK Government’s reasons for blocking Scotland’s gender reform.
