Politicians should get on with their jobs - not grandstand over Gaza

Few images coming out of Gaza have been quite as shocking – and there have been many – as the out-of-hand execution of three Palestinians by Hamas terrorist gunmen for “taking humanitarian aid without permission”.

Humza Yousaf has declared his resignation as First Minister of Scotland after a lacklustre thirteen months in post.

Interestingly, he has only signalled his intention to resign rather than resigned. He will continue…

Yasmin's Eye on .... Not Knowing Their Place
