Hands off Humza

Is Scotland the only country in the world where the Transport Minister is required to resign if there is snow?

As far as I can see from an internet search the answer is “yes”. It really shows how desperate British Nationalist politicians are, calling for Humza Yousaf to be sacked when they are reliant on the plight of reckless drivers who ignored warnings not to travel in severe weather as an excuse. In December 2017 many drivers were stranded on the M25 in London and I can recall no calls for for Chris Grayling to be sacked.

Mr Yousaf also regularly takes criticism for the cost and performance of the Scotrail franchise, which figures released by the RMT show is the third cheapest per passenger mile in the entire UK and is consistently one of the better performers in terms of punctuality.

So why is there no clamour for the failing Westminster transport minister to be sacked? The hypocrisy is staggering.
