Humza Yousaf on Islamophobia and toxicity in politics

Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf became interested in
politics when he was just 16, believing it was the best way to
make meaningful change. He joined the SNP whilst studying
politics at the University of Glasgow and by 26, had become one
of the youngest MSPs to enter Holyrood.


Humza has gone to make history as the first Muslim leader of any
Western democracy, as well as Scotland's youngest leader. He
joins James to discuss the state of UK politics, Scottish
independence and why he believes Islamophobic conspiracy theories
have become part of the mainstream discourse.
