The Next First Minister

Who are the candidates who hope to be the next SNP leader and First Minister of Scotland?

Who are the candidates who hope to be the next SNP leader and First Minister of Scotland? The team discuss the leadership bids of Kate Forbes, Humza Yousaf, and Ash Regan, and what we know so far about their vision for the future of Scotland, whether it's on independence, the NHS, or social issues such as trans rights. The first week since Nicola Sturgeon announced her resignation has seen Forbes criticised for her comments on the Gender Recognition Reform bill and marriage equality, and Yousaf come under fire in FMQs for his performance as Health Secretary. Is this a sign of things to come for the next few weeks of campaigning?
