Humza Yousaf is being urged not to go to court over the UK Government’s block on controversial gender recognition reforms, with a former member of the Scottish cabinet insisting the First Minister does not “have a cat in hell’s chance of winning at the British Supreme Court”.
Former SNP MSP Alex Neil, who served in both Alex Salmond’s and Nicola Sturgeon’s governments, said instead of mounting a legal challenge Mr Yousaf should reintroduce the legislation and deal with its “deficiencies”.
