Humza Yousaf today hit back at Lord Frost after he suggested stripping Scotland of devolved powers following SNP chaos. The Conservative peer said devolution was about "enabling powers to be exercised closer to the people in a more practical and accountable way".

But the former Brexit negotiator said it had resulted in "effective one-party states" with a "tinpot amateurish one in Wales and a seriously dangerous one in Scotland".

Lord Frost warned that "not only must no more powers be devolved to Scotland, it's time to reverse the process".

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, he said: "We, the Conservative Party and the Conservative Government, have allowed this to happen.

"It's time to fix it. Ministers should make clear that, if re-elected, they will review and roll back some currently devolved powers.

"In particular, Scotland does not need to be an independent actor on the world stage; it should not be able to legislate to disrupt free trade within the UK; and it does not need to have most tax raising powers currently available to it.

"These powers are embryonic, independent government powers."
