On Tuesday 6 September the Scottish Government announced a rent freeze.

Since then, a lot of questions have been raised.

So what does that really mean?

This intervention by the Equality and Human Rights Commission on reform of the Gender Recognition Act at once acknowledges the real problems with the current legislation while engaging in vague whataboutery to try to stall any real progress.

In response, Police Scotland claimed to be a "rights-based organisation" committed to "human rights at the heart of everything we do" heraldscotland.com/politics/19695…
