Yousaf, at present Cupboard Secretary for Well being and Social Care within the Scottish Authorities — roughly equal to a U.S. State authorities — is at present the favorite to take over as chief of the left-separatist SNP as soon as Nicola Sturgeon steps down.

He’s greatest identified each inside and with out Scotland as an advocate of imposing draconian restrictions on free speech within the title of combating “hate”, looking for to criminalise even personal conversations in folks’s properties if he doesn’t approve of their content material.

The character of the alleged abuse is at present unclear, however Yousaf added that he had had “hard conversations” together with his household “about the racial and Islamophobic abuse that I get”.
