Nicola Sturgeon has signalled she will bring a bill proposing a referendum to parliament next Spring. However, powers to call a referendum are reserved at Westminster and the Scottish government’s Lord Advocate could kill the bill by declaring it is beyond the competence of the Holyrood parliament.Controversies over the sensitive appointment have led to Labour and the Tories arguing that the post should be split and free of a political role.Jackie Baillie, Scottish Labour’s deputy leader, said: “The SNP should use this opportunity to separate the role of the Lord Advocate as the independent head of the prosecution system from sitting in the cabinet and being a member of the government.

President Biden slams Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill

tweeted. “I have your back, and my Administration will continue to fight for the protections and safety you deserve.”The bill, which critics have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill passed the State Senate Education Committee along party lines on Tuesday, with Democrats arguing that the bill will be interpreted and enforced by school districts in a way that effectively gags any discussion about LGBTQ-related topics, even in passing. A nearly identical version working its way through the House of Representatives was reported favorably from the Florida House Education & Employment Committee and has since been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.Republicans have touted the bill as a “parental rights” measure that will alert parents before their children are exposed to topics to which they morally object or think should not be broached in school, such as sexual orientation or gender identity.
