In our very first episode of Seat at the table, we were lucky enough to be joined by Former First Minister and current MSP for Glasgow Pollok, Humza Yousaf.

Throughout the episode we discuss Palestine, what it was like being the youngest elected MSP in 2011 and what he plans to do when he steps down in May.
