Unhappy Patrick Harvie scathing attack on Kate Forbes at First Minister's Questions

Publicado 2024-05-09
At John Swinney's 1st FMQs as Scotland's new First Minister, he had to defend his new Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes.

Ms Forbes came under attack from Scotish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie who said: 'But we've been equally clear that the first minister must quickly give a signal of the direction his government will take.

Yesterday that signal came pretty clearly progressive ministers sacked and the second most powerful job in government given to someone who has opposed LGBT people's legal equality, who's expressed judgmental attitudes against abortion and who's even expressed the view that people who have families without being married are doing something wrong.

Is this the Scottish government's vision for the future of Scotland, taking us back to the repressive values of the 1950's?'

    Patrick Harvie's question tells you all you need to know about his party's focus and it's clearly not 'green' issues.
  • @ryanbettsazure
    If he had launched that attack at a Muslim person, calling out all their beliefs as sins and character flaws there would be a Hate Crime reported. Utterly disgraceful.
  • @craigham93
    The garden gnome still raging that he has lost his chauffeur driven limo lifts and the ministers salary. Diddums
  • @limyrob1383
    When did "progressive" come to mean the sexuality of children? No mention of the environment. Harvey has killed the green movement. Any successful environmental movement has to be attractive to left and right.
  • @wordforever117
    Imagine someone having different values to Patrick Harvie!!!! Shocking!!!!!
  • @user-ey6rz3fv5y

    All you parents with young kids need to step up and say No more from these clowns!!!
  • @flappingarms9335
    I’m not an SNP supporter, but at least Kate Forbes appears to have morals and is not afraid to express her beliefs.
  • @daffytree2605
    That old saying "hell hath no fury like a women scorned",it should now be" hell hath no fury like a fairy scorned",this man is utterly contemptuous.

    No one is more judgemental than the greens - go have a shave Patrick

    HEY GREEN PARTY LEAVE OUR KIDS ALONE !! STOP PRESSING THE PEOPLE'S BUTTONS REVOLVING DOOR OF HOLLYROOD ! LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO USELESS
  • @666bassman
    Sorry Patrick, neither you nor your party was elected into government. You were made a minister at the convinience of Nicola Sturgeon to protect her and get her policies through, not by the Scottish electorate. If you want to be a minister in government earn the votes and be elected in democratically.

    Sick of hearing about LGB peoples needs what about the rest of us 🤷‍♀️
  • @jonesjones2948
    What a tool. Not a word when the previous F M embraced the Islamic views - presumably because the situation then gave him a minor semblance of relevance - but he's happy to attack a Christian who has already said she will not allow her beliefs to influence her duty to all the people of Scotland.

    The LGBT always seem to be worried when they are not being bowed down to and given special privilege.
