SNP leadership hopeful Kate Forbes has accused the media of wanting to “take the conversation” back to her opposition to same sex marriage.
The Finance Secretary said she had answered questions on the issue comprehensively and insisted she had confidence in party members to decide on the next leader.
Forbes is up against Health Secretary Humza Yousaf and backbencher Ash Regan in the race to succeed Nicola Sturgeon, but her campaign has been dogged by comments in the early days of the campaign.
