Humza Yousaf breaks down as he announces resignation

Humza Yousaf has announced he is resigning as First Minister of Scotland after his decision to scrap the SNP’s coalition deal with the Scottish Greens caused his leadership to unravel.
Delivering a statement at Bute House in Edinburgh, an emotional Mr Yousaf said he will continue in the role until his successor as leader of the SNP has been chosen.
He said: “While a route through this week’s motion of no confidence was absolutely possible, I am not willing to trade my values and principles or do deals with whomever simply for retaining power.

[@nexpro6985]

Only one person crying.

[@shirleyswaine4701]

There will be many who, if not actually crying, will be deeply unhappy. Who? Why, other Muslims of course as it is their duty according to the Quran, to travel the world and usurp native cultures.

[@Ken-ps9ux]

He is only crying because he just found out his ride home is on a scooter

[@metaljacket8128]

Lol

[@jackiemcmillan5273]

His people, his family, his religion, his culture. He walked into the unelected FM position thinking he owned us. We have our own families, religion, culture that we cherish. Scotland have been dealt a hand that we never want to see again. The SNP and the looney greens have to go. We need an election NOW.

[@christinasutherland3604]

I agree 💯

[@robbiethepict2783]

Labour binned the Catholic working class and the Tories did the same to the Protestant working class. Scots will never vote for any populist parties, so the SNP are the only real alternative to any slavish bond.

[@moaninggimp7161]

I worked in Scotland for years (was abused on the regular for being English 😂)but...I wish nothing but the best for Scotland 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿....a Scottish tune springs to mind...it's not exactly burns..it's the realsleeping giants...middle finger 🖕appropriate me thinks....Well done Scotland..no surrender 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🔥

​@robbietheict2783 alba

[@KevinRoberts-uz6ph]

Totally agree, he thought he was some sort of roman esq governor in charge of a region for an empire and the natives were to be kept down

[@elias.knotman]

Zero sympathy for this would be tyrant

[@nasticbangla]

It's a lovely news for the whole world.

[@CodyTheViking]

Popular in London but shouldn't have been in Scotland in the first place

[@ruthbanon6049]

Yep, London is chock full of people of his sort.

[@x62104]

Noone absolutely noone likes them, even they don't like each other

[@MrVontar]

Thats like saying nothing should have existed because it would have existed somewhere where it didnt used to

[@user-wl1sr5ng4t]

But he said...I will not resign....so he can't be trusted on anything, after all....like his family....

[@TheDonMan97]

Now he can move to Palestine with his Palestinian wife and become an ambassador to Hamas as a representative of Scotland

[@jeremyhards1911]

Palestine doesn’t exist

[@MmMRmaxim]

Who could have thought that a disconnected from reality Pakistani was a bad candidate for the position of the first minister of SCOTLAND!

[@Bikepacking]

Bye bye

About bloody time !

[@jon9625]

A rare win - win

[@malcolmmitchell6529]

Total amateur.

[@jasperhorace7147]

Opportunist might be a better description. Nobody forced this person into politics, except himself and his ambition. Now he’s crying about not being wanted by the electorate. It’s difficult to find any sympathy.

[@gherkamum]

P45....White. Removal Van.......White.

[@angusmacmillan5365]

Great news!

[@redlinetelevision]

Snp is a joke

[@geoffdundee]

i laughed my arse off all the way through this clip especially when the fake emotional part started - it was then i pished my chair as i couldnt hold it any longer.

[@simonkennedy4230]

Humza Useless🤣🤣🤣

[@emilcioran2919]

Humza harmful?

[@freespeech3673]

As insincere as Ms Ardern's resignation speech. Not as many cheers though!

[@maxdamage8435]

**** him, Should have been kicked out with no future financial benefits !

[@Uduwerage]

The 1st Minister has made the right decision.

[@patcartier8171]

A heartwarming scene, the likes of which we should see more often.

[@davidstalker9887]

Cry putting on act like sturgeon

[@Andy-di1zd]

I’m sure many people broke down when he gave that anti-white speech, too. No sympathy for him. Whatsoever. Bye.

[@jeng1698]

Watch his bank accounts 😂

[@dianeirvine7624]

Couldn’t agree with him more - will be gladly missed

[@SC-tf3ds]

He should have been removed after his anti-white speech in parliament. Good to see him gone! Scotland for the Scottish!

[@patcatlab5832]

Surrender flag White 😅

Did he break down In Urdu?

[@gooderspitman8052]

What’s his pension and payoff for his racism and ineptitude?

[@luciasampaio5960]

Good question.

[@danielortega8101]

Happy days!

[@davidcooper8892]

I broke down with tears of joy A hated horrible man

Scotland needs somebody who is staunchly of the people for the people ,somebody from a working class background who can mix it at the very top and challenge the elite ,somebody who has fought for their country ,somebody ready to battle the banks and the international corporations no matter what repercussions they may face in return. They need somebody who can speak with passion without resorting to reading from notes and somebody who puts their people and their nation above all others................oh wait..........er...that's Hitler.

[@frankdavis5321]

Good riddance to a bad taste.

[@bacburrito4225]

Good riddance, done nothing but damage

[@olivere5497]

A true scotsman, next week he will take up a new job modelling as the guy on the front of the oats box in a kilt, big muscles, tossing a big log thing.

[@countdunkelheit1389]

"Huwhite"

[@nbandpinportugal]

No mention of the people of Scotland and what his disastrous policies have done to them.

[@PhaRoaH87]

No way!!! Nobody saw this coming. What an absolute tragedy to the Scottish people 😮

[@stesrad]

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit ...But I like it !

[@AzguardMike]

the only people who didnt see this coming was the Scottish Muslims. All two of them.

[@auldflyer]

Only the blind could not see this coming great day for Scotland....

[@Zoro007]

There were no tears shed for Hamza Yousaf.

[@IongliveIsrael]

His short is “too white”…

[@JohnH-mo5mb]

In his own words, his family will have to keep putting up with him, sorry for them. But glad for the people of Scotland, who don’t have to.

[@sdm101869]

Whatever happened to Scotland that they even thought this guy was a good idea in the first place. Have my ancestors just so checked out of politics that the inmates have taken over the assylum?

[@AndrewFaversham]

Is this the same person who made the infamous “hate speech law”?

[@dopecat4012]

Yes.

[@tavuzzipust7887]

Useless shoukd move to China where he can complain that all office-holders are yellow.

[@beaterbikechannel2538]

Ernst Rohm didn't cry when it was his time to go into the meatgrinder. Yuri Besmenov, look him up.

Condolences to his family who will be seeing a lot more of him from now on. What a contemptible, division-creating leader this prat was. Good riddance.
