EIGHT months ago, the Scottish Parliament pushed through a brutal series of filibuster attempts from the Conservatives to bring Scotland in line…
The party’s affiliated Labour Campaign for LGBT+ Rights in Scotland group on Twitter/X has been near radio silent for the past six months, having done nothing more than share four retweets in that time. Now Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar repeatedly refuses to confirm if he still supports the bill that not long ago his party was whipped to vote on.to Scottish Labour’s sole Westminster MP remains ignored and unanswered.
The rifts between Scottish and UK Labour have been present for some time now, with those north of the Border meekly insisting on their autonomy while the rest of the party struggles to remember the names of their cabinet members. I doubt that’s an easy position for many in the party who I believe still fully support trans equality. Trust me when I say that it’s harder for all the trans people living in Scotland. Each day it seems there is another piece of scaremongering in the press; another story of a violent attack against a member of the LGBTQ+ community and our allies; another day when politicians take the easy road over the right one.
Both present challenges for the Scottish Parliament. Both leave Scotland’s communities underserved by their local representatives.
