Kate Forbes rejected Cabinet position for 'better work life balance' claims Shona Robison
Kate Forbes chose to turn down a cabinet post to allow for a better work life balance, Shona Robison has claimed.
The pair clashed repeatedly throughout the bitter contest, with Forbes attacking Yousaf’s record in Government. Robison said: "I understand that the discussion was very cordial and was very much centred on what Kate’s thoughts were and I think she had reflected upon how hard the campaign had been for family life and her desire for a better work life balance and she decided that time out of the spotlight would be best to spend time with her family, which is understandable.”
Robison praised the former finance secretary, saying she has “great talents” and hopes she will consider a return to the frontbench.
