SCOTLAND’S democracy is “collateral damage” in a Tory “culture war”, the leader of the SNP in Westminster has said.
Stephen Flynn accused Rishi Sunak of creeping towards a policy of “direct rule” after the Scottish Secretary took the unprecedented step of blocking gender recognition reforms passed by Holyrood with a cross-party majority of MPs.
Speaking in the Commons on Wednesday, Sunak defended the move, saying the Government was acting within the bounds of the devolution settlement and sought to protect the safety of women and girls.
