New First Minister will need to ‘eat humble pie’ over gender reforms – SNP MP

The new leader of the SNP will have to “eat humble pie” over the Scottish Government’s controversial gender recognition reforms, a leading figure within the party has insisted.

Joanna Cherry KC said Nicola Sturgeon, the outgoing First Minister and SNP leader, had refused to do this – citing this as one of the policy “headaches” Ms Sturgeon has left the party.
