Is Sturgeon ducking gender debate?

Amid the fallout from the Supreme Court’s gender ruling, Laura Miller and David Wallace Lockhart ask if former FM Nicola Sturgeon is ducking the debate.

Why is Nicola Sturgeon yet to respond to the UK Supreme Court’s gender ruling? The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s David Wallace Lockhart explains why some are keen to hear from the former First Minister.

And employment lawyer Ingrid McGhee and Nick McKerrell, a law lecturer at Glasgow Caledonian University, give Laura expert takes on what new Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) guidance means for trans people in public spaces.

And with Martin off on holiday, Laura and David wonder how easy it is to impersonate him.
