Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warned London against any bid to block a controversial Scottish gender recognition law, adding her devolved government is prepared to vigorously defend its powers all the way to the UK’s top court.

Sturgeon says that her government is prepared to “rigorously” defend the gender legislation all the way to the UK’s top court if Prime Minister Rishi Sunak steps in to block it.
