Humza Yousaf suffers fountain pen malfunction as he is sworn in as First Minister

Humza Yousaf had problems with a fountain pen while he was sworn in as Scotland’s First Minister.

The new SNP leader twice had to be helped by officials and eventually had to be given a new pen while signing the parchments.

The 37-year-old won the SNP leadership on Monday, was voted First Minister on Tuesday and took the oaths of office at the Court of Session in Edinburgh on Wednesday.
