Police Scotland have said they would not be taking action over Harry Potter author JK Rowling’s social media posts about transgender issues.

The writer, who has become an outspoken critic of the Scottish Government’s stance on trans rights, declared “freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal” on X, formerly Twitter.

The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act – which came into force on Monday – has been met with objections from freedomofspeech campaigners, including X owner Elon Musk and Scottish journalist and broadcaster Andrew Neil.

TalkTV’s Kevin O’Sullivan and Alex Philips discuss the matter with The Sun’s defence editor Jerome Starkey.
