The Ross, Skye and Lochaber MP said Mr Yousaf was the person to bring the party together amid divisions over matters such as gender recognition reforms and the strategy for independence., who stepped down as SNP Westminster leader in December, said:"We need a figure who will unite both the SNP and the Yes movement.
"As a nation, we require a first minister who will ensure that we deliver in government and lead us forward to guarantee Scotland's voice is heard in an independence referendum.He added:"He has demonstrated his ability to lead in political office across a host of roles within the Scottish government.
"Importantly for me, we need to get our economy moving in the face of this Tory cost of living crisis and create the sustainability, economic growth and better-paid jobs that will help Scotland thrive."I'm looking forward to working with Humza to make sure that we deliver for Scotland and send a message that this is a country where people want to do business."
What is Blackford up to? Is he joining the Labour Party?
Is that really helpful?
He's good at jokes, is he going to be his 'warm up' man ?
Scots look different these days
Got a wee poll running here to see how the different candidates are perceived by the public, specifically in terms of economic competence.
Has he got his snout in the trough too?
No, thanks.
Islam vs lgbt!
What is happening with the continuing invasion of the UK
WOW!
Any chance you could stop using the YTS lad for typing out your Tweets .. you're supposed to be a serious news media outlet (🤣🤣 yeah right) these silly mistakes do not do you any favours.
SandraToFriends The trolls are out in force today! Must be scared of something!
This is the guy who was crippled the NHS, even more than the Tories have. What a joke.
Scotland is done. The citizens deserve everything that befalls them if they won't standup against these people.
Well if Buzz Killington has endorsed you, may aswell give up hope now.
Why you should say! They want him ‘ Allegedly’ in to hide what really going on in theSNP Scotland’s financial catastrophe and their total failures and mismanagement of public taxpayers money.
Muslim pro LGBT supporter 🤮🤮🤮
Two cheeks of the same arse
Will he throw men off rooftops for being gay?
Bibbeth6 Sexual Deviant protector endorsing a race obsessed serial failure.. Only in SNP Scotland will you find trash like this in positions of power...
Of he course he does because the other two want to freshen things up. Blackford can hardly walk as he is got that bunter look from swilling in the trough. Blackford isn't exactly an image of freshness and new ideas...
I do like a poll for things like this.
Because Humza will make sure their comfy arses stay in WM
This must be a conspiracy to prevent Humza winning the election, all the old guard and trough eaters supporting him is not a benefit.
Bibbeth6 Go ‘yousaf’ lol 😂
