UK Government: Gender bill decision not taken lightly
Scotland Secretary Alister Jack has responded to an Urgent Question in the Commons about the UK Government’s decision to block Scotland’s Gender Recognition Reform Bill – by issuing a Section 35 order under the Scotland Act 1998.
Mr Jack told MPs: “It is our assessment that the Bill would have a serious adverse impact among other things on the operation of the Equality Act 2010.” Report by Jonesia.

Refugees in Calais and a charity in London give their reaction to the UK Government’s Illegal Migration Bill. The plan would remove the right to seek asylum from people who enter Britain by crossing the Channel in small boats. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is confident that this proposal, one of his five priorities for government, will deter those seeking to enter the UK by unauthorised means. Report by Jonesia.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman says it would “betray” British voters not to tackle the “waves of illegal migrants breaching our border” as she unveiled plans for new laws to stop small boats crossing the Channel. People travelling to the UK through unauthorised means would not be able to claim asylum in the country, and would face a lifetime ban on returning after they are removed. The new Illegal Migration Bill is one of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s five priorities for 2023. The bill has raised concerns for opposition parties and refugee charities, with the UN’s refugee agency, UNHCR, saying it is “profoundly concerned”. Report by Jonesia.
