Goodbye to Scotland's answer to Liz Truss: How Sturgeon's short-serving, scooter-crashing, gaffe-prone heir has quit as SNP leader after fewer than 400 dismal days in power - brought down by blind pus

Daily Mail  

Humza Yousaf bowed out as SNP leader today after fewer than 400 crisis and gaffe-filled days in charge of the country. Humza Yousaf bowed out as First Minister of Scotland today after fewer than 400 crisis and gaffe-filled days in charge of the country. Mr Yousaf's campaign, however, was not without challenge, with the early part taken up by questions over his vote on equal marriage in 2014, with former first minister Alex Salmond and former health secretary Alex Neil claiming he had been excused from the stage three vote over religious pressures – accusations Mr Yousaf has continuously denied. Mr Yousaf launched the judicial review shortly after he became First Minister, but judges ruled that Mr Jack acted lawfully when he invoked Section 35 of the Scotland Act – brought in when the devolved Scottish Parliament was created. The legislation, which he shepherded through Holyrood as former first minister Nicola Sturgeon's justice secretary, 'got the right balance' between protections against hate crime and freedom of speech, he said.
