An SNP councillor has said he will “happily” speak to a colleague who made Islamophobic comments about party Health Secretary Humza Yousaf.
Stephen Thomson said Jim Dempster had been “elected democratically” and refused to rule out working with him on Dumfries and Galloway council.
The Record revealed in 2018 that Dempster, at that point a Labour councillor, had made appalling comments about Yousaf at a meeting with transport officials.
