Ms Forbes asks Humza Yousaf why he's not trusted. He says he's not popular with Labour and Conservatives because he's a progressive. Ms Regan also asks if Mr Yousaf will take responsibility for failures in the NHS, to which he eventually says he does.
Was Yousaf guilty of mansplaining to his two female rivals?
The fact two of the three candidates call J K Rowling"brave" and all three say she's a"national treasure", demonstrates how split the SNP are on gender recognition legislation. All the candidates believe Sir Keir Starmer will be the next prime minister, although Humza Yousaf throws in a dig at the Conservative and Labour leaders:"One's a Tory but one's a pale imitation of a Tory".Kate Forbes: Absolutely yes, she's exceptional.
But he survives defending his record as health secretary partly because he's faced so many questions on the topic in recent months.When he eventually gets going, Humza Yousaf comes over very much as the establishment candidate, challenging the promises of the insurgent Ash Regan.But he also appears to be a bit wooden and lacking in passion and charisma.It would be worry if she didn't! It this was a TV quiz show, this would be the round in which Ms Forbes played her joker.
Despite some polls making pretty grim reading, Mr Yousaf says the momentum is with him, and that gaining popularity among the SNP shows he will get more popular with the public. Mr Yousaf says the project came in under budget and accuses Ms Regan of attacking the SNP and giving ammunition to their opponents.She asks if Mr Yousaf will take responsibility for the failures in the NHS, to which he eventually says he does.Mr Yousaf says this was something brought up by Alba Party leader Alex Salmond, and says he was helping someone abroad.Kate Forbes says"I certainly don't disapprove" of unmarried couples and gay married couples.
