Humza Yousaf would welcome another indyref 'tomorrow'

Humza Yousaf has said he would welcome an independence referendum "tomorrow" as he signalled a change in his preferred strategy.

Speaking on the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, the first minister said a majority (or 29) seats in a general election would provide a mandate to begin negotiations for a referendum.

He previously backed a proposal based on the SNP winning the most seats, which would be a lower threshold.

It comes as the SNP's annual conference starts in Aberdeen.
