Humza Yousaf cancels planned speech as leadership crisis continuesHumza Yousaf, Scotland’s first minister, has cancelled a planned speech at Strathclyde University as he battles for his political life, PA Media reports.
Yousaf was due to speak about the labour strategy in an independent Scotland, take part in a Q&A session and take questions from the press. But a source close to the first minister confirmed to PA this morning the event had been cancelled.
Given the reception Yousaf got from journalists when he held a press conference yesterday, this decision is not surprising.
