The UK Government has been accused of recycling arguments used against gay rights decades ago in a 'revolting' attempt to block Scotland's Gender Rights Bill.
Midlothian' s deputy provost, Councillor Connor McManus, has spoken out in support of trans rights following the announcement by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that he will block the bill which was passed in the Scottish Parliament with a cross party majority.
Councillor McManus, who at the age of 23 is the council's equalities champion, said the decision to use an order in the devolution act to block the bill was a "full scale attack on Scottish Democracy".
