Scottish Parliament passes new domestic abuse bill

[weepiper]

Scotland set to pass 'gold standard' domestic abuse law

Specifically criminalising emotional abuse and coercive control. Just passed an hour or two ago. This is a good day

Good news. Let's hope the enforcement lives up to the spirit of the law.

Good to hear but who was the 1 vote against?

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

Seemingly Tory Margaret Mitchell voted against "by mistake".....!!

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

I think it was genuinely a mistake though. Tbf.
