The SNP deputy Westminster leader said Mr Yousaf, the current Scottish health secretary, was the only candidate that would take 'our party and our country forward'. He is due to appear on Sky's Sophy Ridge on Sunday show.

Paisley and Renfrewshire MP Ms Black endorsed Mr Yousaf after describing how she was"incredibly hurt" byMs Forbes, a Free Church of Scotland member, revealed how she would not have voted for the legislation on same-sex unions had she been at Holyrood at the time.

Ms Black, who married her wife last year, also said Mr Yousaf was the only candidate"willing to take the fight directly to Westminster" over its decision to veto controversial gender recognition reforms passed by Holyrood. Speaking on Sunday, Ms Black said:"Having listened to the early stages of the leadership campaign it is already clear to me that Humza is the only candidate that can take our party and our country forward.

FREEEDOM!

She’s as daft as him

Don’t think they will let him be the leader of SNP. You know who they are.

Surely that’s a reason to say no.

He is the worst of a very bad bunch! As for black just Carrie's herself off as a complete Ned! At last the SNedP isnimploding having been seen for what it is. Sadly too many knuckle dragging work dodgers have been fooled to vote for them over the years with freebies aimed at them

Most snp members would be happy if Sam smith was there leader they don’t care about the people of Scotland ijust themselves

But they haven't got fish names.🤔

This guy should try to be mayor in Karachi 🤔👍🏽🙂

Scared to criticise Islam Mrs Black

Huwhite!!!

Humza Yousaf is linked to the World Economic Forum. So he is about as trustworthy as a Fox babysitting Chickens. He's also pushing to abolish free speech and to create a Police State. And of course he is racist. He says Scotland is too 'white'. He's a Numpty!!!

Is this the same Ms Black who personally endorsed an adult entertainer call Flo Job to read to school kids & then called anyone who questioned it “Jeremy Hunts” ?

This must be the funniest statement of the year. NO, on reflection the stupidest. Every post he has held has been for Scotland, a disaster. Not only does Scotland think so, but the continent & the Uk as a whole also say so. It stands 2 reason the SNP is going to blow his trumpet?

The best candidate for the English to take back political control of Scotland via the ballot box imho 😁 We had the Corbyn cult, then the Boris/Tory cult & now we have the SNP cult where ideologies override what the voter’s priorities are. Oh well, car crash coming for the cults

The 45% has reached single figures now.😂😂😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Mhairi knows the score!! 👍

Aye over the edge of a feckin cliff,she gets to be a bigger R'sole every time she opens her gob.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 she still rubbing white powder on her gums 😏

Salmond failed sturgeon failed that failed failed failed and hopefully not given the chance to fail again

All the more reason to not vote Humza in - he is going to be torn by this mob that Mhairi belongs to at the expense of folk going to support other parties at next election - doesn’t sound savvy politics to me

Forward to the 14th Century?

By relaxing cocaine laws

The Paisley ned

Is Scotland running 🏃‍♂️ out of palefaces! Surely there must be Scottish men and women with a long heritage to the land to take Scotland forward... do we need come lately adopted Scottish people to take the county forward?!

How is wee Kate going to form a cabinet when it seems all MP & MSP's detest her?

Middle Earth troll has spoken

Pishhhh

She’s a horrible wee Ned

Scotland is in trouble.

He is not an inspiring candidate. But among 3 candidates he is the only one who will not make me hate the SNP. pathetic state of this party

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I hope get gets the job😂😂😂😂😂😂

🤡

S…N…. who? P for The joke Party….

Alba🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 will find theyve made a mistake , but theyll find out the hard way

No one cares.

One day the U.K. will be entirely Asian.

Not sure how his faith and his standing in the community can deal with gay marriage and gender reform. Both of which are a no no to the Muslim faith

Let's all grab a seat and watch the SNP fall apart.....🍿

Two jakeballs that sum up the state of this country.

Dangerous for the jocks that

Well considering Kate is against mixed-race marriages on the basis of her religion, I'm not surprised.

Wtf is she hybred 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️

Manky mhairi,,,the grifter

In her formative years Black reacted to images shown of the crowd after her team lost a football match by tweeting 'nuns can get to fuck' but we are told to believe that it is Forbes who had the extremist upbringing.

Which only reinforces the opinion, that a lot of the SNPs MPs and MSPs are more interested in maintaining their comfy lifestyle rather than pushing for Independence.

Are these racist comments or am I missing something?

Ahh militant fascism alive and well.
