Yousaf Invites Starmer for Talks, Anticipates Labour Victory

Scotland's First Minister, Humza Yousaf, has invited UK Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, for talks to establish a working relationship, anticipating that Starmer will be the next UK Prime Minister.
Yousaf has expressed willingness to work with an incoming Labour government on issues such as child poverty and strengthening UK-Scottish relations.
Despite political differences, Yousaf believes that the SNP and Labour can cooperate, particularly on the issue of scrapping the two-child benefit cap, which he argues would lift 250,000 children out of poverty across the UK.
Yousaf has also reiterated the SNP's commitment to a second referendum on Scottish independence, stating that this remains a priority for his party.
Scottish Labour leader, Anas Sarwar, has criticized the SNP's messaging on voting in the upcoming election, but acknowledges that the debate on Scottish independence will continue regardless of the election outcome.
