If the reason for this ban was, as Streeting says here, "medicine was given to vulnerable young children without the evidence that it was safe," then he would ban puberty blockers for all children. He has banned them only for trans children. Because it's not about safety.
Puberty blockers for children with gender dysphoria are being banned indefinitely in the UK, following the Cass Review.

Bob Odenkirk was absolutely the best possible choice for Mr. March because as a largely unseen character, the actor needed to generate immediate affection and excitement from the audience.

The people of Moray know very well that if you’re an MP and MSP at the same time, you can’t do either job properly.
