HUMZA Yousaf has said the SNP have a “credibility issue” following the party’s loss in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election.
Speaking to the Financial Times, the First Minister said his party has to do more to retain the support of voters concerned about issues including the cost of living.“Let’s not beat around the bush, it was a difficult night,” Yousaf said. “We didn’t inspire people to come out. Whether I like it or not, and I don’t like it, there are people who need to be convinced about our delivery.”
He said: “I’ve never paid much attention to those who have written me off. The focus has to be on the fact that for some people in Scotland, and I will say I feel unfairly, there is a credibility issue that some people have for the SNP and the Scottish Government.
