SCOTTISH First Minister Humza Yousaf condemned the “pro-Brexit Labour Party” today as the SNP revved up its general election campaign.
Ahead of a pro-EU student event in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park, Mr Yousaf took a swipe at Sir Keir Starmer’s switch from backing a second EU referendum in 2019 as shadow Brexit secretary to accepting the 2016 ballot result as Labour leader.
Mr Yousaf said this was “just one of the many promises Keir Starmer has U-turned on.”
