Kerr must be blocked from Westminster candidacy, say SNP

THE SNP has challenged Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to drop a Tory Westminster candidate who questioned Scottish government aid to Gaza.

An article — branded Islamophobic by First Minister Humza Yousaf — in Saturday’s Telegraph, raised questions about the Scottish government’s decision to award £250,000 to the United Nations Relief & Works Agency (UNRWA).

The newspaper claimed Mr Yousaf had overruled Civil Service recommendations to instead award between £100,000 and £200,000 to UN children’s charity Unicef.
