Summarization
Twitter users are criticizing Humza Yousaf, a Scottish politician, for offering Kate Forbes a lower position after she supported his opponent in a recent SNP leadership election. They argue that Forbes was the only chance for the SNP to appeal to non-SNP voters and improve Scotland's economy. Yousaf's offer of a rural affairs position is seen as insulting and potentially damaging to the SNP's success. Some see Forbes rejecting the offer as a smart move and a chance for her to distance herself from potential problems within the party. However, others criticize her attitude towards rural affairs and question her ability to be a leader in the future.

1641428543321124865 | Can you point me to your coverage of this ยฃ21bn lost to fraud and incompetence @BBCScotlandNews @nickeardleybbc @BBCGaryR @GlennBBC Is such still classed as news on the BBC? https://t.co/GNsf7ceKcc | 77 |
1640756832288362498 | @GlennBBC @HumzaYousaf adding insult to injury by offering Kate a lower position. Suspect she will come fighting back and karma will come to call on him. Bad move Humza and you know it | 18 |
1640763547436154894 | @GlennBBC Dear Glenn, Every single vote is โdivisiveโ. That is the purpose of votes. Yet, you seem to use this superfluous word often and attach a negative aspect to it. Why is that? | 12 |
1640757163495751686 | @GlennBBC @HumzaYousaf knew she would refuse a demotion! Hugely disappointing and seems he's already forgotten he won by the skin of his teeth! | 11 |
1640751514955272192 | A belated plug for the series Iโve been making with @GlennBBCโฉ - featuring in-depth interviews with Nicola Sturgeon, members of her inner circle like Liz Lloyd and Noel Dolan, international leaders, cultural icons & critics within the SNP and beyondโฆ https://t.co/tDa7waZQOP | 9 |
1640767114758815750 | @GlennBBC Very few Independence supporters believe a word of your propaganda talk,you've been sussed out, and you are no longer a believable reporter for the BBC. | 7 |
1640757375257772033 | @GlennBBC As a non SNP member, Forbes was the only candidate who may have brought the divisive factions together if she had committed to improving the lot of people in Scotland & not putting Independence first & foremost before the economy or anything else. Scotland is in dire straits now. | 6 |
1640958768803377155 | This is brilliant! Who needs the movies. Sit back Unionists, they are chewing themselves in knots. @LouiseStewart79 #SNPMeltdown @HumzaYousaf @GlennBBC @BBCScotlandNews @STVNews @STVColin https://t.co/6ccyp31lVH | 6 |
1640804029558149129 | @GlennBBC Good you managed to get the Tory 'divisive' soundbite in there Glenn. The BBC bosses will be pleased. | 6 |
1640763372307185672 | @GlennBBC An offer of Rural Affairs is not an effort to reunite. It's an insult, possibly calculated, and was predictably rejected as such. | 6 |

1640756226958000145 | @GlennBBC @rapwest She was probably the one chance the snp had of advancing as a party in the electorateโs (non snp voters) eyes and they blew it big time for more of the same old failures | 85 |

1640757094755319808 | @GlennBBC That is not an effort to reunite the party. That is a scandalous offer from Humza. And with that goes any tiny chance of him making a success of Government. | 75 |
1640755938498945024 | @GlennBBC It's OK though, the SNP is apparently brimming with talent - they've just been hiding it from us all for the last fifteen years! | 71 |
