Alex Salmond has warned Humza Yousaf that “continuity won’t cut it” as he told the new SNP leader that the “constitutional issue cannot be kicked into the long grass yet again”.
Salmond is now leader of the Alba Party and served as First Minister of Scotland between 2007 and 2014.
He congratulated Yousaf on his victory in the race to succeed Nicola Sturgeon but warned him given the tight vote he needed to listen to what the other candidates said during the campaign.
