SNP rebel Ash Regan has vowed to dump Nicola Sturgeon’s disastrous gender reforms and unite her party if elected First Minister. Regan hit the headlines in October when she resigned as Minister for Community Safety in opposition to the GRR Bill, amid fears the safety of women and girls would be compromised.
Announcing her bid for the top job in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mail, she said: “Women’s rights will never be compromised with me”.
The Edinburgh MSP and mum of two also made clear her focus would be on public services and the economy rather than new laws that hinder business and interfere with family life. Regan also indicated she would be willing to work with Alex Salmond’s Alba Party as part of an Independence Convention to build support for a referendum.
