We're all losers.. no matter who wins contest of SNP also-rans

Leadership race is revealing none of the candidates are fit for the job of fixing our country's problems and changing it for the better

WE ARE three weeks into the race to replace Nicola Sturgeon and we're yet to see any proof that one of these candidates is up to the job.

Last week we were treated to two televised debates where the candidates got grilled - and grilled each other about the SNP's record in government, the coalition with the Greens and many more issues.

Everyone in Scottish politics was watching, with one notable exception - Sturgeon.

"If she really did give the debates a miss, it is probably for the best.

 No one came out of it well not the SNP, not the candidates and certainly not Sturgeon's government.

Kate Forbes broke the SNP's culture of silence on their own failures to challenge Humza Yousaf on his dismal record as Transport Minister, Justice Secretary and Health Secretary.
