    Transcript if anyone needs:

    Asked about concerns her bill could drive prostitution to an unregulated and underground system, Ms Regan said: "There is no basis for any of those assertions. “If you even think for one second, you cannot possibly drive prostitution underground.” “If you had a lot of women in underground cellars with a locked door, how would the punters get to them?” The Herald clarified that the point being made was that if someone wants to buy sex, they would simply do so illegally. Asked if that made sense, Ms Regan said: “No. It does not really make sense whatsoever.”

    She could have been running an independent Scotland by now if we’d voted differently in 2014.

    …It’s alarming how little talent stays in Holyrood.

      Ehh, I don’t see why she’d have been more successful in an indy Scotland than in a UK Scotland

        She lost the leadership by <10% of the party vote to Humza if I remember right. Pretty close to being First Minister.

        Edit: brain fart
