Joanna Cherry insists Ash Regan ‘making progress’ to become SNP leader
Joanna Cherry has insisted Ash Regan is "making progress" to becoming the next SNP leader despite her campaign struggling to win support.
The SNP MP is the only high-profile party member to have publicly endorsed the former community safety minister's bid to replace Nicola Sturgeon.
Cherry said today: "I think it’s very wrong to write her off, she’s making progress and I’ve heard a number of people say they’ve been switched on to her campaign after listening to her properly at the hustings."
Regan was mocked last week after suggesting a "readiness thermometer" could help deliver Scottish independence.
Speaking at an SNP hustings alongside leadership rivals Humza Yousaf and Kate Forbes, she said the device could be erected in Glasgow and Edinburgh and would have "a dial on it that moves" showing the nation was fully prepared to leave the UK.
