HUMZA Yousaf has cancelled a speech he had been due to deliver on independence in Glasgow on Friday afternoon, it has been reported.
The First Minister had been due to speak at the University of Strathclyde on the labour market in an independent Scotland, which included a Q&A session with the audience.
However, Sky News’ Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies said in a post on Twitter/X: “Sky News understands Humza Yousaf is to cancel a speech he was due to deliver on independence in Glasgow this lunchtime.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse. So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
