Step into the campaign trail chaos with SNP's Humza Yousaf! What really happened during the last few days? Find out now!

Behind the scenes with Humza Yousaf, our political reporter Steph Brawn delved into the whirlwind of the campaign trail alongside the SNP chief. From probing questions about independence to capturing the essence of Yousaf's political journey, the experience was nothing short of exhilarating. On a visit to Dingwall, First Minister Yousaf dismissed claims that the Hate Crime Act inhibits freedom, highlighting a different narrative of unity and progress. However, in a lively podcast discussion, critics pointed out the flaws in Scotland's hate crime laws, playfully dubbing Yousaf as 'Humza Useless'. Despite the mixed reviews, Yousaf's masterclass in running Scotland has sparked debates nationwide, with Carole Malone critiquing his governance style. Currently on the campaign trail in the Highlands, Yousaf engaged with islanders, addressing their top concerns on ferry services alongside reporter Steph Brawn.
