Kate Forbes said suggestions of a 'coup' to make her first minister were 'ridiculous'
She tweeted: “I’d usually ignore articles with ‘sources’ purporting to speak for me & about me, but the latest ‘coup’ piece tonight is ridiculous."
"I know people are desperate to see the SNP split and divided, but the challenges facing us as a country and a party require all of us to pull together. I speak for myself, and I’ve been consistent since the leadership contest: we must be united and focused on what matters."Her comments came during the leadership race.
