The one I picked up on was the SNP were apparently going to “lurch to the left” on policy. Which is news to me, given they’ve still got Business For Scotland spokesperson McKee in the cabinet.
Personally I’d rather like them to adopt some sensible socialist policies.
Thanks, journos are crying now.
Oh no journos upset about Forbes whatever will i do.
Oh no lost the support of race-sciencers and Wermacht launderers, The Spectator.
The Telegraph saying Kate Forbes is an ‘effective candidate for independence’ should be an alarm bell to anyone who actually wants independence. There’s a reason the right wing nutjobs liked her – and it isn’t because she was about to break up the UK
Yoon journos upset they lost a tory
Let’s face it, in the real world Forbes was the most respected SNP cabinet minister and probably the most well know (outwith Swinney, who is competent but hardly a vote winner). Reddit is not reflective of the real world.
Thr SNP need more intelligent and credibility politicans.
The probably next leader Stephen Flynn is a good politican but there’s nothing warm about him and I have no idea what he stands for except independence. He doesnt have any economic credentials.
So theres no one else to fill the Forbes void.
Suspect we are going to see alot of change over the next 5 years and cant see that being good for the direction the SNP are going.
She’s the best mp the snp had
Well if Sky, The Times & The Telegraph thinks it is a bad thing then it surely must have some merit.
I left the SNP partly because of her and her politics. I know plenty of activists and not one of them would be disappointed she’s gone.
