Mr Yousaf was interrupted nine times today (Image: Getty)
Scotland’s parliament descended into chaos this lunchtime after furious leftie protesters interrupted the weekly debate no fewer than nine times.
Humza Yousaf’s First Ministers Questions (FMQs) session was repeatedly thrown off course as protesters were heard shouting “food is a human right; hunger is a political choice”.

Unlike the House of Commons, there’s no security or sound barrier between Holyrood’s public gallery and the MSP chamber, making disruptive protests incredibly easy.
The lefties were removed from the venue one-by-one, after making their voice heard with demands for food banks across Scotland.

Eventually, Holyrood speaker Alison Johnstone suspended proceedings out of frustration while one protester was removed from the gallery.

However shortly after the session resumed, more protesters emerged from the woodwork.
Ms Johnstone said the protests were “extremely regrettable”, as she was forced to repeatedly suspend the Q&A session.
Last year she confirmed new rules to crack down on protests, after numerous disruptions in November 2022 to January 2023.
Left-wingers protesting against North Sea Oil drilling repeatedly gatecrashed FMQs sessions with Nicola Sturgeon.
They were soon joined by other activists making their opposition to the Gender Reform Bill heard.

In December 2022 a protestor even resorted to flashing MPs in opposition to the pro-trans legislation.
Comedian and physiotherapist Elaine Miller was heard yelling: “If you won’t be decent, then I’ll be indecent!
"If you think that's the first time there will be a m*nge out you're wrong.”
Mr Ross’s frustrations at the repeated protests in March last year led to him having to apologise, after the mics picked him up swearing in frustration.
Mr Ross apologised for his “industrial language”, but said people watching the debate would be getting “pretty fed up by that childish behaviour”.

Among the new anti-protester rules being introduced is expected to be a six-month ban for those who interrupt proceedings.

The nine protest interruptions today led to some MSPs losing out on their opportunity to put questions to Humza Yousaf.
Ms Johnstone said that while she agrees with Parliament being open and accessible, it is wrong for the politicians’ work to be disrupted.
She promised that Parliament “will work with security and Police Scotland to take any further action that is required”.
