UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron has warned of reduced co-operation with Scottish ministers following Humza Yousaf’s meeting with Turkish President Erdogan at COP28 without a UK official.
Cameron described this as a breach of protocol, escalating tensions between Scotland and the UK government.
The Scottish Government insisted a UK official was invited but unavailable at the time.
This move by Cameron, seen as a ‘harder line’ than predecessor James Cleverly, could impact Scotland’s international engagement, sparking criticism from Scottish sources who view it as a ‘gross overreaction’ to the incident.
Unionists, however, praise the foreign office for robustly standing up to the SNP as they continue to undermine the British constitution.
