I’ve been very clear, as I did when we intervened with Section 35, when the Scottish Parliament wanted to put men in women’s safe spaces with their self-ID policy.
In July, he said he would approve the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields in the North Sea. What’s he waiting for?
What is important for people to understand, is that where the Scottish Government is doing things that are bad for the people of Scotland, we will intervene, something which I did do when I was in government using the Section 35 powers.
