Humza Yousaf sends letters to party leaders ahead of no confidence votes

HUMZA Yousaf is asking leaders of other parties to find “common ground” with him as he invites them to talks at his official residence to see how they can work with his minority government.

In his letters, Yousaf emphasised that the Scottish Parliament has previous experience of minority administrations which had delivered benefits for “people, communities and businesses”. “But given how much his views have changed in the last week perhaps I’ll go along to Bute House, if there’s a possibility I can convince him to support my motion.”Speaking on Friday, Scottish Labour’s Anas Sarwar said: “I am more than happy to engage with people of all parties, but it is clear that Humza Yousaf is out of time.

She said: “I think that potentially some of the things he said about me when I left to go to a different political party last year probably shows that it’s always wise to have that level of professional courtesy to people that you work with.”Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
