SNP MPs have clashed in public over the party's Gender Recognition Reform Bill after one of Nicola Sturgeon's allies suggested that those who oppose the bill should leave the party.
Alyn Smith had told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland that his colleagues are “obliged to defend the SNP position” over the proposed gender laws as it was in the manifesto.
But Joanna Cherry, one of the critics of the policy, hit back on Twitter. She said self-identification for trans people was not on the SNP manifesto, adding that "we rebels are going nowhere".
