EXCLUSIVE: One to one interview with Kate Forbes coming live on @SkyNews as she confirms she is considering SNP leadership bid. ➖ “Membership needs to be behind the next leader & process needs to reflect that”. Strong hint a contest is needed ➖Says she has “a lot of support”…
To explain the 28 day point. Key sections are ss 45 and 46 of the Scotland Act 1998. A first minister may resign as first minister at any time and must resign as first minister if a vote of no confidence *in the government* is lost. Resignation is made by writing to the king
As there is no tendering of resignation *as first minister* to the king the 28 day period has not yet started. That bulletin after bulletin is referring to the 28 day period having began is simply wrong

John Swinney is hugely respected across our party but the lesson of the last year is that the SNP needs a complete reset. We must go forward not backwards. Kate was right when she said that continuity would not cut it. The next leader must deliver change.
With the banning of languages, German repression of pro-Palestinian speech and activity is reaching the point of total absurdity. It is disgraceful that Germany is censoring people from speaking their own language, whether it is Irish or Arabic. Seasann Éire leis an bPalaistín.
If the first minister resigns office (rather than notifies intent to resign to allow a leadership election to take place) then there are 28 days to fill the vacancy - Scotland Act 1998, s 46 legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/46/…
Yeah, bring in Swinney, that’ll be the final nail. Usher him in, can’t bloody wait. #politicslive

Now we know who the Yoons fear so it must be Forbes
NEW: Whoever leads Scotland next, it can’t be Kate Forbes My column in @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/2fdc8a…
This whole column is filled with nonsense. This particular re-framing of history being awfully egregious. Does Ken forget that Humza skipped the gay marriage vote? How come Yousaf couldn’t make that particular vote?
NEW: Whoever leads Scotland next, it can’t be Kate Forbes My column in @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/2fdc8a…
Ratioed. Deservedly so.
NEW: Whoever leads Scotland next, it can’t be Kate Forbes My column in @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/2fdc8a…
@matthew_inaus @MizLiot @newsandpics @KennyFarq @thetimes The article praises specifically the religions of all the other leaders but considers Kate’s beyond the pale despite them being far more regressive. He’s entitled to think she shouldn’t be FM, but to use her religion as the reason, that’s not good
@KennyFarq @thetimes This really doesn’t come across as an example of a “Scotland marked by generosity of spirit”. Curious why she is acceptable as a cabinet minister, representing the country in a defined role, but not as First Minister?
@ARLinklater @KennyFarq @thetimes Of that there is no doubt. While declaring their “progressiveness” at every opportunity, Sturgeon, Harvie and their acolytes exude regression, intolerance and illiberalism. With this modern day “witch-trial” of Kate Forbes, Farquharson is in good company. Birds of a feather.
@KennyFarq @thetimes But would she, in practice, be that kind of political wing? After all, you don’t get much more ideologically puritanical than the Sturgeon-Green line, (albeit the self-righteousness came without much follow through). Btw when did it last happen?
@KennyFarq @thetimes You may underestimate how Presbyterian Scottish culture is, regardless of the avowed beliefs of any leader. I’d put a paradoxical bet on Kate Forbes being more liberal and tolerant in practice than the Sturgeon-Green-Yousaf troika has been (in reality vs messaging)
@saoi4climate But the point is this… If what you define as homophobic is the teachings of Islam and Catholicism then aren’t you saying those religions, and anyone who says they follow doctrine is homophobic by definition?
@KatrinaWatson @DougGay It just seems to me we should be a bit more shocked by this than we are. Christians are now unacceptable leaders of our country? Wow.
@JohannLamont It’s really quite depressing that this rubbish surrounding a decent woman like Forbes is being repeated yet again by the same unhinged people.
Important thread. Worth also reminding people that the SNP like all other parties allows conscience votes on matters such as abortion etc. So really the attacks on Kate Forbes for her personal religious views need to stop.
Public service reminder to folk commenting on Kate Forbes - Free Church positions on moral questions are almost always identical to official Roman Catholic positions (on contraception/divorce more liberal) so think before writing something about FC you wouldn’t write about RC?
@Desumeb I repeat that votes on abortion in the SNP have never been whipped. The decision is left to individual conscience.
@ginadavidsonlbc @Ipsos I've not seen anthing like it........over the past two days the conditioning thats happening in relation to Mr Swinney, becoming leader is off the scale and its not just Social Media it's all over...MSM, search engines the lot... All "Johns Swinney next SNP Leader/FM"
@luckymcluckie @ginadavidsonlbc @Ipsos I think the general public would prefer a politician who says they’ll vote no, and vote no, to one that says they’ll vote yes, and vote no. E.g. yousaf on gay marriage. Transparency is great. We don’t need to agree on everything. We do need to know what we agree on.
@joannaccherry The fact that she is open about her beliefs tells you something about her politics. The kind of people speaking out against her tells you more.
@joannaccherry The personal attacks on religious belief is another reason why the SNP are misguided - sounds like more Green influence, where some beliefs are more sacred than others. How did the party get in to such a mess ?
@joannaccherry Following a First Minister who prayed in Bute House in front of cameras I think this can no longer be made an issue except by malign actors.
