Humza Yousaf to stand down and warns over Elon Musk’s UK election threat

Scotland’s former first minister to quit frontline politics and says alarm bells should be ringing over potential Musk interference

Humza Yousaf, Scotland’s former first minister, has announced he is to quit frontline politics at the next Scottish elections as he criticised Elon Musk’s interference in the US election and his potential role in the next UK election.

Yousaf, 39, who last year became the first Asian and first Muslim to lead a European government, has been sitting as a backbencher since resigning as first minister in April over a crisis with his erstwhile partners in the Scottish Greens.
