Humza Yousaf, a prominent figure in the Scottish National Party (SNP), has extended an invitation to Sir Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour Party, for talks aimed at establishing a working relationship between their respective parties. This move comes in anticipation of the possibility that Starmer may become the UK's prime minister later this year. The invitation is seen as an attempt by Yousaf to bridge political differences and collaborate post-election, despite allegations of seeking a 'dirty deal'. However, reports indicate that Starmer has no plans to accept Yousaf's offer at this stage. Meanwhile, there are suggestions that the SNP is repositioning itself to align more closely with Labour's policies, amid a resurgence of Labour's popularity under Starmer's leadership and Yousaf's own political troubles.
