The article from the Daily Record discusses the controversy surrounding the Scottish Conservative Party's campaign tactics during the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election. The Scottish Tories have been accused of employing "nasty" and "desperate" tactics by distributing leaflets that criticize the SNP's candidate, Katy Loudon, for her stance on gender recognition reforms. These leaflets highlight Loudon's support for self-identification, which the Tories claim could lead to "predators" exploiting the system. Critics, including SNP MSPs and campaigners, argue that this approach is not only divisive but also fear-mongering, aimed at stoking transphobia for political gain. The article also notes that the Scottish Tories' campaign has been described as lacking in policy substance, focusing instead on attacking the SNP. This has led to accusations of the Tories being out of touch with public priorities and engaging in a "nasty" campaign style.
