Fergus Ewing was suspended from the SNP group at Holyrood after voting against the Scottish Government.
Kate Forbes was one of three MSPs who stood alongside Mr Ewing as he addressed the media last week following his suspension
Ms Forbes, along with fellow SNP MSPs Christine Grahame and Annabelle Ewing – who is Mr Ewing’s sister – stood alongside the former minister as he addressed the media after he was suspended for a week. “Our parliamentary group is a family and you must have each other’s backs. And when you face difficult circumstances, you need your troops around you.”
Ms Forbes, who served as finance secretary under Nicola Sturgeon and reportedly turned down the rural affairs brief she was offered by Humza Yousaf, also weighed in on the future of education in Scotland.
