Live updates on UK politics: Humza Yousaf wins SNP leadership election with 52% of second preference votes, defeating Kate Forbes who received 48%.

Within the last 13 minutes, the UK’s No 10 has rejected criticism from homelessness charities regarding its plans to curb “intimidating” begging. Home Office figures show that people are experiencing more anti-social behavior than a decade ago, but are reporting it to the police less. According to a thinktank, Humza Yousaf is the first Muslim elected national leader in a western democracy. Yousaf believes that political obstacles at Westminster will disappear when there is “consistent, majority support for independence.” He also wants to put the independence drive “into fifth gear” and make the SNP “as big a tent as possible.” The SNP leadership election results are in, and Humza Yousaf has been elected as the new SNP leader and prospective next Scottish first minister. Labour has criticized Sunak’s anti-social behavior action plan, calling it “too weak, too little, and too late.” No 10 has dismissed reports of government officials breaking second job rules after the “£10,000 per day” Hancock/Kwarteng sting revelations.
