The Scottish health secretary launches his campaign to be Scotland's next first minister.
He expressed concern over using the general election as a de facto referendum on Scottish independence, but said he wanted to work with his party to determine the best approach.
Mr Yousaf's opponents have expressed concerns over the Scottish government's Gender Recognition Reform Bill, with Ms Regan pledging to scrap the legislation if selected as leader. He said: "There's the principle of the Section 35 order, which I think we have to defend the Scottish Parliament against ."Let's engage with them. Let's try to bring them around the table. Let's not let this issue define us as a movement."
I watched as he was introduced by Europe Minister Neil Gray and also joined by Transport Secretary Michael Matheson and Airdrie and Shotts MP Anum Qaisar, among others.The Yousaf camp believe there's a lot of top-level backing for him already in the party. Big name signings could help sway the grassroots.
