Humza Yousaf debut at FMQs interrupted five times by protesters in shambolic scenes at Holyrood
Humza Yousaf made his debut as SNP leader at FMQs today in shambolic circumstances as proceedings were repeatedly interrupted by climate protesters.
Proceedings were interrupted five times in just 10 minutes - forcing Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone to demand the gallery was cleared. First Minister's Questions has been repeatedly targeted by environmental activists in recent months with parliamentary authorities seemingly powerless to stop them.
Thursday’s session was the first for Yousaf, but five interruptions before the end of Douglas Ross’ questioning of the new SNP leader stunted proceedings.
