The First Minister is confident in support for independence
Humza Yousaf has said support for an independent Scotland is "rock solid" - dispute recent challenges faced by the SNP.
Mr Yousaf said: “The SNP has had a really challenging few weeks and months, there is no getting away from that, but even with those challenges, support for independence is absolutely rock solid. I believe the best decisions about Scotland are made by the people in Scotland.” Mr Yousaf added: “As long as the UK Government continue to deny that , what we will do is use the next election to test support for the proposition of independence.”
Mr Yousaf was asked if he was confident his party could win the potential Rutherglen by-election, after former SNP MP Margaret Ferrier was convicted of breaching Covid rules and was handed a 30-day suspension from the House of Commons by the standards committee. The PA news agency asked Mr Yousaf if a negotiation on independence would be easier with a Labour government.
