Interesting that Humza #Yousaf uses his speech at an #independence rally to concentrate on the "national tragedy" of #Brexit. The #SNP seems to be the only party in #Scotland calling for rejoining the #EU and being honest about the cost of Brexit. With the #RutherglenAndHamiltonWest #byelection coming up, is he emphasing differences with the rival #Labour party, who worry that being pro-EU will be bad for them in England?

It's quite hard to explain Scottish #politics on this platform. With so many #Americans here, I'm aware that describing our First Minister as a #republican and a #nationalist could be misleading. Humza #Yousaf leads a party which- aside from leading the independence movement in Scotland, has policies I'd describe as #SocialDemocrat!

Humza #Yousaf accuses UK government of deposit return scheme sabotage
Mr Yousaf told the BBC: "They're not just trying to scupper the DRS - they're trying to undermine devolution. We've seen it multiple times.
What do you expect from the Conservative & Unionist Party?
The #toriesOut will try to destroy #devolution any way they can - as the #vacuumOfIntegrity who conned people into voting for them said "F*!?! #Scotland "

#HumzaYousuf of #Pakistani origin being elected #Leader of the #ScottishNationalists. He took over as #FirstMinister of #Scotland & #RishiSunak is PM of the #UK.
Should the #Scots vote for #independence an #Indian & a Pakistani will decide on the #Partition of the UK
To add to the #irony #Sunak’s #grandparents were born in #Gujranwala #Pakistan. #Yousaf’s grandparents were born in #Gujarat #India.
Should one call this #poeticjustice or the #EmpireStrikesBack?? #humour #joke #funny #banter

As a member of the #SNP I would like to make my support for Humza #Yousaf a matter of public record.
That support did last for several hours.
Until he insulted Kate #Forbes - and by extension those of us who supported her.
I do not see it as too early to call for his resignation: he is now a caretaker leader.
I will remain a member of the #SNP and look forward to voting for his successor.
Oh no…… tragic news, fundament religious bigot will no longer play a role in running country

The "U"K🇬🇧 is the last vestigial appendix-like organ of the #BritishEmpire & #SmallerEnglishEmpire &
#BritishColonialism and, as such, must die #ASAP. It doesn't belong in the modern world.
We're all relying on you to stamp the "U"K🇬🇧 out of existence...

Delighted that Humza #Yousaf will be the new First Minister and not one of the anti-environment/TERF etc. candidates.
Of course, now we await the new Education Secretary with bated breath - please, let’s not keep Somerville, but have someone who is actually interested in #education at all levels.

Hoy en #Escocia, los afiliados y afiliadas del Partido Nacional Escocés (#SNP por sus siglas en inglés), han escogido a nuevo secretario general: Humza #Yousaf.
Y, salvo terremoto político, el miércoles será nombrado Primer Ministro de Escocia.
Siempre me ha llamado la atención lo fácil que ponen y quitan allí primeros ministros (cof cof, Reino Unido)
