Kate Forbes says honesty is the best policy – despite flak

Kate Forbes says she might not have won the SNP leadership election, but thinks it was worth being candid about her beliefs – because people are ‘crying out for honesty, truthfulness and integrity from their politicians’.

The former Scottish Finance Secretary narrowly lost out to Humza Yousaf in the race to become the Scottish First Minister, winning 48% of the vote in the second round of voting.

Forbes, a member of the Free Church of Scotland, was heavily questioned concerning her religious views on matters including same-sex marriage and having children outside of wedlock.
