Scotland's poverty crisis will make or break Humza Yousaf - Record View
Humza Yousaf’s election as SNP leader and his inevitable ascent to the office of First Minister is history in the making.
The pandemic can partly be blamed for the rise but it is clear that poverty levels have hardly budged since the SNP came to power in 2007. The party has always claimed it wanted to create a more equal Scotland where every child has the same chance to succeed. It means funding councils properly and considering how the council tax can be abolished or reformed to get more money into front line services. As we revealed yesterday, Yousaf is considering wealth taxes as a way of raising extra funds to reduce poverty.
