Flynn backs Swinney for First Minister
Stephen Flynn believes that John Swinney would have his political rivals 'quaking in their boots' if he were to become First Minister of Scotland. The Nats Commons leader praised Swinney's oratory skills and experience, suggesting that Anas Sarwar and Douglas Ross would feel the pressure with Swinney back in the spotlight.
Flynn supports serious politics
Flynn emphasized the need for serious politics during challenging times, endorsing Swinney for his depth of experience and skills as a political operator. He highlighted the importance of having seasoned politicians like Swinney at the forefront to navigate tough public issues.
Support for Kate Forbes
While Flynn refrained from confirming his support for Kate Forbes as a potential leader, he defended her personal beliefs on gay marriage. He described attacks on Forbes' views as unfair and stressed the significance of respectful disagreement in politics.
Campervan antics for the Tartan Army
In a lighter moment, Flynn expressed his enthusiasm for the SNP's campervan being utilized by Scotland fans during the Euros. Joking about securing tickets for the games, he mentioned the high hotel prices and the potential for the campervan to offer a more affordable accommodation option for the Tartan Army.
