Kate Forbes denies plotting to oust Humza Yousaf as SNP leader as party splits wider
Kate Forbes has been forced to deny she is planning to oust Humza Yousaf as First Minister just weeks after the pair fought a bitter leadership contest.
In a message on social media shared last night, she said: "I'd usually ignore articles with ‘sources’ purporting to speak for me and about me, but the latest coup piece is ridiculous. Another source played down talk of a coup: "I think it istoo early. There is a feeling that Humza won’t last long but I think he will be there longer than they think.”
Forbes pitched herself as a pro-business candidate who would would boost the country's stagnant economy. But she retains the support of a group of MSPs in the party who are concerned an on-going police investigation into its finances could seriously harm its electoral chances.
