Kate Forbes attempts to reset SNP leadership campaign
Scotland's deputy first minister said on Wednesday that criticism of Ms Forbes over her views had nothing to do with her faith.Ms Forbes' spokesperson subsequently claimed that Mr Swinney was essentially saying a woman with "Christian views" was not suitable to be first minister.
She added: "It is possible to be a person of faith, and to defend others' rights to have no faith or a different faith."Scotland's health secretary Humza Yousaf and Ash Regan, who resigned as a minister over Scotland's changes to gender law, are the only other candidates to have declared so far.
The Tory leader said: "Humza Yousaf is the worst health secretary since devolution, but it looks like he is going to fail upwards. In any other line of work Humza Yousaf would have been sacked, not promoted."He asked First Minister Nicola Sturgeon: "Forget being SNP leader, why is he even still in government?"
She added: "We are supporting our NHS with record funding, record staffing and the wider support it needs to address these challenges."
