Mhairi Black, Jeremy Corbyn and Anas Sarwar are scheduled to appear in the in Conversation with” series at The Stand Theatre during Edinburgh Fringe. I hope that Mr Sarwar, at least, will take the opportunity to speak out now or at the event in support of Joanna Cherry and freedom of speech even though he disagrees with her stance on the Gender Recognition Reform Bill and protection of women’s rights, to the extent that his MSPs were whipped to vote for the bill. I’d also like to hear Hum za Yousaf’s views on the matter. Allan Sutherland, Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire.
