Humza Yousaf, the former First Minister, is considering his family's future in the United Kingdom due to concerns over the rise of far-right riots and Islamophobia.
Yousaf, who resigned in May, expressed his worries following violent protests in England and Northern Ireland, which he attributes to decades of anti-migrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric. He criticized prominent politicians, including Suella Braverman and Nigel Farage, for institutionalizing what he describes as the language of the far-right in UK politics.
Despite his deep concerns, Yousaf mentioned that he does not want to leave the UK but is uncertain about his family's safety and future in the country.
