Humza Yousaf, the First Minister and leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), has expressed discomfort with the term 'national' in the party's name, advocating for a more inclusive approach. The SNP is facing criticism for various issues, including governance, as Penny Mordaunt described the party as 'inept, incorrigible and in trouble.' Yousaf has also been criticized for inviting Turkish President Erdogan to Scotland, amidst allegations of human rights violations, which he has denied being linked to personal matters. The Economist reports Yousaf is moving the SNP 'to the left' to challenge a resurgent Labour party.
