HUMZA’S DIRE CRIME OF FASHION

JUSTICE Secretary Humza Yousaf posed for photographs on Thursday with Iain Livingstone, the new Chief Constable of Police Scotland.

At time of going to print, Mr Livingstone is yet to resign, which is impressive for that job.

Not least after the Justice Secretary, pictured, upstaged his unveiling with a bold combination of cerulean shirt and Daz-white cuffs and collar.

It was quite the fashion statement and we can only hope the chief constable cautioned him that it could be taken down and used against him in a court of law. Though, the fact he didn’t slap on the cuffs there and then bodes ill for those hoping the new police boss will take a zero-tolerance approach to crime.

In his defence, Mr Yousaf is one of Holyrood’s few interesting dressers. Alex Cole-Hamilton is always snappily turned out but the minister’s only rival is luminescent neckwear aficionado Jackson Carlaw. The Tory deputy leader doubles up as Eastwood’s MSP and its nocturnal landing strip.
