Lord Carloway told the new First Minister a “successful democratic system” must be governed by the rule of law and can only exist “if the government affords adequate protection to the judiciary from unwarranted attack”. The move has endangered Mr Yousaf’s attempts to bring together a party which has felt the full impact of a bruising leadership contest, which he won with a slim 52% to 48% margin over Ms Forbes.
She was on maternity leave when Nicola Sturgeon announced she would resign and throughout the leadership campaign,Scotland, Ms Robison said: “I understand that the discussion was very cordial and was very much centred on what Kate’s thoughts were, and I think she had reflected upon how hard the campaign had been for family life and her desire for a better work-life balance and she decided that time out of the spotlight would be best to spend time with her family, which is understandable.
But she praised the former finance secretary, saying she has “great talents” and hopes she will consider a return to the frontbench.According to Ms Robison, the new top team will be different from that of Mr Yousaf’s predecessor.
