'Critics of Humza Yousaf are right to question his woeful record in government. Ms Adam, who represents Banffshire and Buchan Coast in north east Scotland, told the SNP-aligned paper: 'I'm not opposed to people being scrutinised, particularly in public roles, but the level of racism and the sheer ignorance was astounding.'īut Pam Gosal, a Tory shadow minister for education who is of Indian heritage, said: 'I have experienced racism and to throw accusations so flippantly is extremely damaging. Scottish Labour warned that the new Health Minister had been left with a 'deadly mess' in A&E by his predecessor, Mr Yousaf. Yesterday it was revealed more than a third of recent attendances at accident and emergency units were not seen within the four-hour target time, according to new figures. He has faced criticism over his decision to appoint a taxpayer-funded minister for independence and another for ' NHS recovery' - after he spent two years in charge of the health service. He has been nicknamed 'Humza Useless' by some of his political opponents. It comes as Mr Yousaf struggles to assert himself in his new role. MSP Karen Adam used a column in the pro-separatist newspaper The National to claim 'disgusting tropes' were being used to attack the SNP leader, who is of migrant heritage.

A senior ally of Humza Yousaf was blasted today after saying critics of the new First Minister were racists.
