Kate Forbes to leave Scottish government

  1. The lady who believes magic sky men exist, and that she should oppose equal marriage on that basis, no longer has a part to play in govt. Thank goodness. Love and basic logic wins.

  2. Is this a case of ‘I didn’t win so I don’t want to play any more’?

    This is the kind of move that reveals what you’re about. Far from being there for the Scottish people, or to represent her party’s membership as an elected representative of a constituency… she was there to win and has decided there’s no longer any reason to be there now that she didn’t

    Fair do’s, but I’d rather Boris Johnson admitted it this way

  3. I have rather enjoyed watching the SNP implode. There is zero chance Yousaf, who do seem to have a repetition of incompetence and essentially “failing upwards”, manages to keep the SNP on message. He’s not even in the same league as Stugeon or Salmond.

  4. The comments below are laughable.

    I loathe SNP and am a passionate Unionist.

    Kate Forbes was only MSP with talent.

    I am very pleased she leaving Scottish Gov. I hope she does not go to Labour cause that would be scary.

    SNP continue to flop

  5. People here mocking Forbes for her views.

    MANY share them. Unionists and SNP voters.

    LMFAO.

    Plus the offer Humza made was a demotion. How on earth could she accept that.

    Laughable.

  6. He won by a paper thin margin over a crazy women. The SNP are fucked and independence is not even in the rear view mirror anymore. It has become a pipe dream

  7. She can shuffle back to the 15th Century where she belongs.

    Using a selective interpretation of the bible to justify her own prejudices.

  8. She could have worked with Humza to help the SNP recover at a time when it is in turmoil, rather than taking her ball and going home. While this does at least mean she cannot undermine him from the background, it has already shown the Scottish public that the SNP is happy to play party politics and that there is little difference to the Tories in that regard.

  9. Rishi couldnt even get voted in. and was the Third choice LMAO

    But I enjoy ya’ll throwing a hissy fit over a man named Humza leading Scotland

    LMAO

  10. Lol Humza was absent during the Legislation promoting gay rights.

    People on her back gotta take a good look at who’s running the country now.

  11. Kinda surprised at the amount of outrage I’m seeing about this.

    “The winner of the contest didn’t try and give his opponent a consolation prize” – so what? That’s how a power struggle usually works, no? People portraying Yousaf as ‘weak’ for not allowing his opponent to stay behind his back consolidating power ready for a takeover or backstab just seem like people who were ready to criticize whatever he did next.

  12. Serves the SNP members right. Elected a racist as leader of the party and now the best option is leaving. Absolute idiots.

    Find it hilarious people are willing to die on a hill protecting 0.5% of the population while throwing 96% of the population under the bus and it’s not like fucking Youssef was willing to vote on gay marriage either.
