Scotland’s national clinical director has got involved in the SNP leadership contest by praising the “courage” of Christian Kate Forbes and claiming her candidacy is “an important moment”
Jason Leitch, who is himself a Baptist, also said he hoped she would “find a way” through the “challenges and questions” she will face, adding there was empathy for her “particular Christianity”.
He said: “So we do pray for Kate and her family at this difficult time when she's put our head above this particular parapet.”
