Cole-Hamilton responds to Yousaf Ukraine gaffe
16 Mar 2023
Responding to Humza Yousaf asking a group of Ukrainian women in Edinburgh “where are all the men?”, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said:
"From the man who would lead Scotland, this is clumsy, insensitive and displays a real ignorance of international affairs.
"Many of these women could have male relatives fighting and dying on the Eastern front, defending not just Ukraine but the free democracies of the world.
"Humza Yousaf has an awful ability to put his foot in his mouth."
