  1. Humza #Yousaf isn't a great politician, but he isnae a rubbish politician either, and the #SNP is short of talent at Holyrood. #Swinney would be unwise no tae gie him a cabinet seat; and gien hoo #Yousaf has performed on #Gaza an ither maitters furth o Scotland, it would be guid tae see him in a foreign relations brief.

    If we're aiming for #ScottishIndependence, we need to be developing strong relationships with the rest of Europe and beyond.

  3. It seems from here .....

    That scottish politics is pretty personal - between #Sturgeon and #Salmond, Forbes and Swinney, Ross & #Yousaf - reminds me of childhood, when - in two different eras & parts of the country my father suffered the cross-fire between feuding colleagues - decades later the same thing happened to a brother

    #england may be politically too right-wing, the inhabitants rather selfish - but Scots can brew up bitter feuds over very little, and keep them cooking for years....

  4. CW: UK politics, Scottish politics

    While I don't pretend to understand enough about Scottish politics to offer any hot takes on #Yousaf's resignation in the Scottish context, I do very much hope, for the UK, that the #SNP remains a credible political force after whatever happens next.

    While Sunak's Blue Tories winning the next UK GE would be disastrous, it would also be bad if Starmer's Red Tories were to get a thumping majority. A strong SNP makes that less likely.

  11. #Salmond pone su precio por salvar la piel de #Yousaf: montar un ‘Junts per Escòcia’ las próximas elecciones y que el independentismo presente un candidato único en cada circunscripción. Como eso implicaría garantizar al menos media docena de escaños al partido de Salmond, que en 2022 sacó un 1,6% de los votos y cuya única diputada es una tránsfuga, en el #SNP les han dicho que tururú. Así que, por ahora, el primer ministro de #Escocia perdería la moción de confianza

    "So Yousaf felt he had to be decisive and push Harvie before he jumped. Thereby forgetting one of the fundamental rules of politics. Leaders who want to look tough, invariably look stupid."

  18. "The Scottish National Party took a different approach. Within days of this horror beginning, its leader Humza #Yousaf demanded a ceasefire. That he described #Israel’s siege as “collective punishment” on October 10 is an important detail to record - because the nature of this atrocity was clear from the start, and other politicians cannot pretend they did not know"

    First Minister Humza #Yousaf (#SNP|G/EFA): "Ciò che la Thatcher ha fatto alle comunità minerarie e industriali non è stato 'imprenditorialità', è stato vandalismo. Elogiare la Thatcher è un insulto a quelle comunità in Scozia, e in tutto il Regno Unito, che portano ancora le cicatrici delle sue politiche disastrose."

  21. #Yousaf would welcome an indyRef "tomorrow" - a majority of Scottish seats (>= 29) in a GE would be a mandate to begin negotiations for indyRef2

    Well #snp might think that, but I doubt it'd cut much ice in westminster

    in 2015 #sturgeon had 56 seats & 50% of Scottish votes - down to 35 with 37% of votes in 2017

    29 seats = maybe 33% of votes at most - well over 50% going to pro-Union parties

    Given latest poll shows #labour tying in the lead - #indyRef2 is years away
