Not attempting to excuse the SNP - who have blazed a trail in this regard with taxpayer money - similarly MPs at Westminster proposing to reject the EHRC guidance. As you rightly say - it's not creating law which is already there, and ruled on by the SC.
MPs who disagree with it should push to change the primary legislation rather than be (often wilfully) ignorant about the status of guidance. Or better, put it in a manifesto, have people vote on it, then see where they go from there. (I suspect we both know, but that
is the process).
