#AlisterJack used Clause 35 of #ScotlandAct to prevent Scotland proceeding its democratically debated, brutally fought over & passed by clear MSP majority #GenderRecognitionReform (Scotland) Bill 2022 to #RoyalAssent Flim flam rationale - he needn't care. #Starmer then dropped a mythical UK version.

6/31 Bill C-5, the One Canadian Economy Act, received Royal Assent on June 26, 2025.

This omnibus legislation contains two distinct but dangerous components that reshape how Canada governs itself.

Each part poses unique threats to public health protections.

Sure told us when #Westminster puffed up its chest and blocked #RoyalAssent from the Queen (then) for the fully approved #ScottishParliament Bill in 2022. Ridiculous contemtuous reasoning & blatant UK wide proposal to follow #StarmerLie quietly dropped. It gets reprised now & then, relevant or not.

Saving redoing alt text.

You may find #Falkner #HolyroodNews quote from Feb 2022 interesting.

At the end of that year #Scotland had passed its #SelfID Bill and in January 2023 #Westminster stopped it's passage for #RoyalAssent Falkner probably had a hand in that too.

#AlisonBechdel tackled this subject elegantly in 1995. Elegance is a stranger to the #LGBAlliance #SexMatters the #GCRump & et al.

#KishwerFalkner quoted by #HolyroodDaily (transphobic rag) from Feb 14th 2022 - lying through her vacuous smile?

Burned all doubt. @goodlawproject.bsky.social
Alison Bechdel cartoon based at an American Multiplex Cinema where one of three pals; short boyish pixie cut hair, has a 'transphobia' attack going to the washroom with pal who is transgender. remonstrated with by her pal she goes in and is promptly jumped on by aged ex Barbie type suggesting she "in the wrong bathroom" behind her the trans pal is by now washing her hands in the basin and intercedes with "of course she's not! Take a closer look hon(ey) Americanism. Pixie cut pal thanks trans pal Jillian for stepping in adding "I'd do the same for you, y'know". Jillian, drying her hands with paper towels responds: "Thanks, but I actually don't have much of a problem in the ladies 'rooms'. At least, not since my "Nobody I'm a transsexual" T shirt wore out". There's a dripping tap behind Jillian above it Ms Bechdel signature initials appear with 95 date marker. It is a classic sketch from that period, busy beautiful graphics and capturing all the ironies that faintly, by comparison to 2025 that popped up from time. The elegance seems gone today in favour of Rohm like Sturmabteilung SA thuggery. "We understand that there are strong views here, but I think we all want to get to the same end, and the end is to make life easier for trans people to live in the identity that they feel so strongly committed to. That's the end that I want to see too." "Kishwer Falkner: Is life now so brittle that to ask questions i...

2/3 #Clause35 of #ScotlandAct - [Devolution's #HaynesManual] is a key that re-assumes full control of anything the #ScottishParliament does that #Westminster notionally objects to in case it hurts home legislation. Invoking it, prevented the democratically passed #GRAReformBill getting #RoyalAssent

8/12 Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler wants Governor General to intervene before royal assent.

"I'm hoping she's paying attention to what's happening here so that she can think about intervening."

Constitutionally unlikely but shows depth of opposition.

Served along with #RachelHamilton on #GRAReform (Scotland) Bill it wasn't too hard to see who was the most smugly disingenuous between them. Their efforts to undermine mostly failed. Then Scottish overseer #AlistairJack stepped in from the shadows to stop progress to #RoyalAssent Eyes on #SNP now! 👀

#Section35 stop to #RoyalAssent is an almost certain banker on the false #Westminster premise that they want a uniform policy across the UK - A policy currently being brutally sabotaged in #Lords under faux 'scrutiny' skirts of intrusive religious influence in that awful pre-cadaver rotting tank.

Stage One Executive Committee Report to Scottish Parliament Paragraph 472

2022 Gender Recognition Act Reform (Scotland) Bill denied #RoyalAssent by #RishiSunak PM application of #ScotlandAct Clause 35 through his #ScotlandOffice overseer Mr #AlisterJack MP lately Lord The #BaronJackOfCourance
***My Emphasis*** 472. The majority of the Committee believes that the concerns raised, while recognising that such views are sincerely held, go beyond the scope of the provisions in the Bill, and is satisfied that the Bill itself will not change any of the protections or definitions set out in the Equality Act 2010, including the ability to exclude trans people from single-sex services where proportionate and appropriate. The majority is satisfied that the Bill will not change or remove women's rights, make changes to how toilets and changing rooms operate, redefine what a man or a woman is, nor change or expand trans people's rights. The majority is satisfied that the Bill will not change the effect of a GRC, which is that the individual is legally recognised in their acquired gender. ***Further, the majority recognise that, when asked about evidence of abuse and concerns, no witness was able to provide concrete examples.*** 473. A minority of the Committee is not persuaded that the risks have been examined sufficiently and disagrees with the decision to frame these issues as separate from the Bill. They take the view that how acquiring a GRC affects a person's definition and rights under the Equality Act 2010 and believe that this is a central issue in determining what impact the Bill might have on women and girls and seeks clarification on that from the Scottish Government.

.....government, I proposed that the #ScottishGovernment should prosecute the lifting of the Section 35 to allow the #GenderRecognitionReform (Scotland) Bill 2022 to go forward for #RoyalAssent as it seems; Westminster have acted in apparent bad faith. They sent:

www.parliament.scot/chamber-and-...
The image is the specific 2023 Shirley Anne Sommerville response to the application of Clause 35 blocking our Reform Bill voted through by 2/3rds majority from going on for Royal Assent the text is as below. https://www.parliament.scot/chamber-and-committees/official-report/search-what-was-said-in-parliament/meeting-of-parliament-20-12-2023?meeting=15625&iob=133311 "Before the end of the parliamentary year, we will introduce a new human rights bill for Scotland. I turn to the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill specifically. The bill’s reforms remain the Government’s policy and, as we can see from the cross-party support for the bill, they remain what this Parliament would like to see enacted. However, the United Kingdom Government’s intervention means that the bill cannot proceed to royal assent. It remains a bill that has been passed by the majority of this Parliament and we will not be withdrawing it. There is a strong indication that any divergence of approach would be unacceptable to the UK Government, as Alister Jack stated in the Westminster Parliament: “In short, two different regimes create adverse effects.”—[Official Report, House of Commons, 17 January 2023; c 218.] It is therefore impossible to see how progress can be made, particularly when the rules of this Parliament require that amendments at reconsideration stage are consistent with the bill’s general principles as agreed at stage 1. Nonetheless, our offer is still there. If the current UK Government is willing to work together on the issue, we will happily sit down with it. If a future UK Government is willing, we will work with it so that the section 35 order can be lifted and the bill can progress. It seems clear that the current Government will not do that. It remains to be seen what a future Government will do".
