Humza Yousaf’s debut First Minister’s Questions disrupted five times by protesters

Humza Yousaf's debut First Minister's Questions session was disrupted five times by protesters.

Video shows the scenes of disruption inside Holyrood on Thursday as MSPs became frustrated by the interruptions.

Holyrood's presiding officer ordered the public gallery to be cleared due to the disruptive protest.

Alison Johnstone said: “I don’t think I can adequately express my deep regret that such action is required in our national parliament.

“I’m extremely sorry for the overwhelming majority of those who have travelled to the parliament today to watch their elected representatives at work."
