Humza Yousaf takes aim at media in Grazia photoshoot interview

Hapless Humza Yousaf has a lot more time on his hands after he was forced to quit as Scotland’s First Minister last year. Now it transpires that the former FM has enjoyed a sit down – and photoshoot – with Grazia Pakistan’s Beauty Editor to recount his brief stint in the top job. After his fall from grace in April last year, Mr S isn’t surprised the former Scottish leader is itching for a return to the limelight.

Dotted among multiple pictures of Yousaf modelling various stately poses is the ex-FM’s interview. The SNP MSP discusses everything from his political awakening, why he was drawn to the pro-indy movement and his time in the top job. Yousaf did, rather curiously, omit the part where he was forced to resign after rather abruptly ending the SNP’s coalition with the Greens.

Yousaf modestly suggested that, had he not pursued politics, he could have landed a top job at the Hague, telling his interviewer: If I had not gone into politics, I would have studied law… I could see myself in another life as a Prosecutor in the International Criminal Court.
