Humza Yousaf fights back tears as he steps down #shorts #news #humzayousaf
to my wonderful wife my beautiful
children and my wider family for putting
up with me over the years I’m afraid you
all be seeing a lot more of me uh from
now you are truly everything to me and
although of course as you can tell I’m
sad that my time as first minister is
ending but I am so grateful I’m so
blessed for having the opportunity that
afforded to so few to lead my country
and who could ask for a better country
to lead
Humza Yousaf fought back tears as he announced his resignation as Scottish first minister on Monday (29 April).
Mr Yousaf announced he was stepping down during a press conference at Bute house in Edinburgh, just days before a vote on his leadership was expected.
The 39-year-old said: “After spending the weekend reflecting on what is best for my party, for the government and for the country I lead I have concluded that repairing our relationship across the political divide can only be done with someone else at the helm.”
Mr Yousaf then became emotional when speaking about his family, saying: “It takes its toll on your physical and mental health; your family suffers alongside you.”

Now to relax on £80k a year for life for this unelected, unmitigated failure. What a clown world we live in.
You never led your country.

Hopefully a Scot can once again lead Scotland, only a ethnic scot can be fully loyal to scots and our country.
