Rishi Sunak shows his steely side as he blocks Scotland’s gender recognition reforms

Since taking office, Rishi Sunak has taken pains to show that he is treating the devolved administrations more seriously than Boris Johnson and Liz Truss did. But on Monday evening he showed he can be as ruthless as his predecessors in pushing for the outcomes he believes will safeguard the Union.

The decision to block Holyrood’s liberalisation of the rules on how trans people can change their legal gender is a punchy moveThis is arguably typical of how the Prime Minister has conducted himself throughout his premiership so far. He is outwardly reasonable, even emollient, making it clear that he is willing to listen to critics and moderate his behaviour accordingly.

However, when he is convinced of a certain course of action, he is willing to go hard. Doubling down on the divisive, passing laws making it harder to strike, curbing spending and raising tax to control the public finances and giving police more powers to break up noisy protests are all the moves of a leader who – for better or for worse – is not afraid to ruffle feathers.

There is no steely side only a ERG side! RishiSunak integrity

God made us a women and a man all these gender vairients are just excuses in my opinion for weird or bad behaviour but modern society want to label it. We shouldn't pander to these groups as normal people who are left are being victimised because we can't say or do nothing right

His steely side 🤣 He’s just handed the independence movement another reason to leave the so called ‘union’ have you seen the massive crowds during pride events? He’s just denied a portion of them, friends/family their rights.

Playing for Little England Terf votes a poor man’s Boris Johnston.

Absolute rubbish, why is the i peddling this rubbish.

Steely side? RishiSunak ? For this? He’s just pacifying the dinosaurs on the far right of his Conservatives party.

I’m fucking terrified!😡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
