LONDON — Divided parties don’t win elections, or so the saying goes. The Scottish National Party may soon have to put that one to the test.The brightest lights of Scotland’s dominant pro-independence party have been tearing chunks out of each other in a deeply acrimonious leadership contest to replace leader and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who resigned after eight years at the helm in February. TV debates this week have seen the contest reach boiling point, and there are fears it may be hard to let bygones be bygones when it’s all over.Finance Secretary Kate Forbes — who has bounced back from a torrid first week to remain a serious contender — is pitching herself as the change candidate. And that means heaping scorn on Sturgeon’s government, as well as the competence of her main contender Humza Yousaf. “When you were transport minister, the trains were never on time,” she said Tuesday night, in a highly-charged attack mixing the personal and the political. ...Mental health test ordered for man who disrupted flight
