SCOTTISH First Minister Humza Yousaf has called for “zero tolerance to hatred” in the wake of targeted racist slurs being daubed near his home.

The offensive graffiti appeared across fences and walls in Broughty Ferry, near Dundee, where the Glasgow Pollok MSP lives with his wife and young family.

Just last month Mr Yousaf, whose wife has had family trapped in Gaza since the latest escalation in began in October, was forced to deny that a Scottish government donation to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency was a conflict of interest, branding the claims “Islamophobic.”
