Kate Forbes seems credible if perhaps lacking in enough years at the coalface (a good thing?) but will she want to leave baby at home?
Angus Robertson? Maybe.
As I said, old mother Hubbard isn't going to be pleased.
Can't see Kate Forbes having too many backers, given her membership of the Wee Frees, and that church's well-known views on some controversial matters.

Sturgeon was ultimately proven to be a complete and utter maniac, hellbent on one sole aim, resolute, arrogant, anti-English, in fact anti-everything apart from an independent Scotland. But above all else she failed to read the mood of the Nation as people turned against her, she had no reverse gear and she disrespected Scotland and it’s people. An implosion was therefore inevitable. She wasn’t in the role for Scotland’s benefit as is evident from the complete mess that she has left behind - all so very far removed from her intended legacy. Her self-serving sign-off speech said all that you need to know about her and her entirely selfish and ultimately unfulfilled personal aims.
