so he's always been against hamza yusuf.hat the scottish people think of him compared to other he's pursued other people, but he's pursued this government independence this government for independence s programme, whereas i think a huge number of scots in the cost of living crisis, watching ordinary functions of government fall to pieces around them would rather have a scottish government that was sorting out problems rather than campaigning for independence. didn't alex salmond am i right in thinking this ? this? >> didn't he report rishi sunak to the police about some comments? apparently jokes that he made about sturgeon? >> i believe that's the case, yes. >> what do you think to that? >> what do you think to that? >> well, anyone is entitled to vote to report anything they like to the police. it's a free country . what the police what country. what the police what the police do about it, what the police do about it is another matter altogether. >> says, do not count your >> sue says, do not count your chickens . starmer.

so for hamza yusuf , this >> so. so for hamza yusuf, this is not a good night. to what extent does the scandal surround adding the missing money and the arrest and then release of people like nicola sturgeon, of people like her husband and the treasurer of the snp or the former treasurer of the snp as well? what extent the snp as well? to what extent has that played into this to has that played into this or to what extent has humza yousafs leadership of the snp played into but of course into this loss? but of course this was a seat that did flip flop between the snp and the labour party. i think we might need to see 1 or 2 more by elections in perhaps deeper snp territory to see just how wide the scale of labour recover in scotland might be. >> they did well 58% of the vote, but very low turnout. people didn't see motivated by any of the party as at all. 37% turnout versus 66% at the general. the big question, though, is there's been a long talk about will there be a deal between the snp and the labour party in the event of a hung parliament at a general electio

the first minister, hamza yusuf, has travelled to aberdeen while his law are stuck in his parents inn gaza. party conference is gaza. his party conference is meant to resolve whether the snp will claim after the westminster general election a mandate for another independence referendum to reflect on the politics of the moment. i've got a superstar panel of aubrey allegretti, senior political correspondent at the guardian. alice denby , at the guardian. alice denby, who is author and editor of who is an author and editor of the capex website. and charlie rowley, who worked government rowley, who worked in government as a special adviser to michael gove. welcome back to all three of you. alice as i think most people think that the national health service doesn't work , the health service doesn't work, the trains don't work, the prisons don't work. nothing can be built in this country. was it satisfactory that keir starmer did not have a plan for fundamental reform of the public sector? >> yeah, absolutely. i think it was a case of all that glitters is not gold. for speech, is not gold.

hamza yusuf.ake. >> my former constituent is simply speaking the simply not speaking for the scottish on this scottish people on this particular, is particular, but neither is el—sisi speaking the job of el—sisi speaking for the job of humza yousaf is to protect the security at least help security or at least help protect of scotland. >> this trying scotland. >>this trying grandstand >> this is trying to grandstand on international stage . i on the international stage. i know has links to gaza know he has links to gaza himself. links, but himself. familial links, but that mean he has a that does not mean he has a right to start dictating or right to then start dictating or trying least he could . trying to. at least he could. >> immigration policy seeing an opportunity capitalise the opportunity to capitalise on the fact have probably fact that labour have probably disenfranchised an awful lot of their who will longer their voters who will no longer vote them. probably vote for them. he's probably

so hamza yusuf has issued a warning to the inhabitants of scotland to the inhabitants of scotland toher. we are due to experience from across scotland the most severe from thursday to friday. and you know what? that could actually could actually intersperse . and please actually intersperse. and please be aware of the challenging snp and what we've done for the country are the lack of things that we actually have done for scotland. there so i mean, i think this is a well—versed comment on x as it was previously known as twitter from the first minister of scotland on the back of a disastrous snp conference in aberdeen, the same place that this storm is going to hit. so it seems as if they're just trailblazers, aren't they really, for things that are going to come metaphorically? >> i really admire charlie. >> i really admire charlie. >> i really admire charlie. >> i really admire the way you pivoted to politics pivoted from weather to politics to segway. >> it was brilliant to segue. >> it it was brilliant to segue. we can't talk about scotland not mentioning yeah it was mentioning it

stuart, why is hamza yusuf nailed colours this mask nailed his colours to this mask again ?ce? >> well, that's meant to be. it's driving force but of course it's really in many ways gone from being a campaign learning organisation. with that in mind to an organisation which is comfortable in government and lots of people are quite happy with their jobs and hope that that will continue for some time. but independence is the thing that brings out the snp support the foot soldiers if you like, and without that goal in mind then there are already diminishing support is likely to fall away even more . so it's got fall away even more. so it's got to be front and centre , as humza to be front and centre, as humza yousaf said of their future policy and campaign . policy and campaign. >> well, i don't don't think that's correct because you've lost hamish hamilton and rutherglen west and the polls, latest polls showing falling says that labour have got 38% of the vote. if it were to go to general election. now in scotland and the snp have diminished . so i would say that diminished. s
