Скачать или смотреть Kate Forbes plays down internal SNP party rifts as Hustings have been good-natured

SNP leadership candidate Kate Forbes has shared her experience of returning to work after maternity leave in the hope of inspiring other women.

Ms Forbes, who is still on maternity leave from her role as Finance Secretary, gave birth to her daughter Naomi in August 2022.

However, she put herself in the running to replace Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader and first minister despite the challenges.

Ms Forbes visited the Halo project in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, to meet female entrepreneurs and business leaders.

The Finance Secretary said: 'What we have seen is a sharp contrast between the Hustings amongst members, which have been very good-natured, very well informed, quite relaxed , compared with some of the press coverage which might suggest that there are deeper rifts than is actually the case.'
