Humza Yousaf has been blasted for losing taxpayers' cash on "propaganda" after the Scottish Government stated it should publish extra papers on Scottish independence.

Independence Minister Jamie Hepburn stated Scots can anticipate extra publications within the Scottish Government's Building a New Scotland sequence.

It comes after a paper outlining plans for a written structure for an unbiased Scotland was launched earlier this week.

But the Scottish Tories accused the SNP chief and First Minister of a "desperate" bid to maintain the nationalist celebration along with the "only issue" they'll agree on.

Scottish Conservative shadow structure secretary Donald Cameron stated: “The public want both of Scotland’s governments to focus on their real priorities – the cost-of-living crisis and unacceptable NHS waiting times – rather than trying to break up the UK.

“But in a desperate effort to hold the feuding, scandal-ridden SNP together, beleaguered Humza Yousaf is focusing on the only issue nationalists agree on, to the dismay of the majority of Scots.

“These SNP propaganda papers are a waste of taxpayer’s money.”

It comes as Mr Hepburn stated the Scottish Government is "scaling up" on its ambition to provide Scots data on the nation's future outdoors the UK.

He claimed that Westminster was taking Scotland "in the wrong direction", pointing to a fall in dwelling requirements.

Mr Hepburn added: "It is now more urgent than ever that people here are presented with a positive alternative.

"So, following the launch of the Scottish Government's proposals for a written structure in a contemporary Scotland, additional papers within the Building a New Scotland sequence can be launched this summer time, as we scale up our work to reveal a greater future is feasible as an unbiased nation.

"Self-governance is normal, just look at the success of similarly sized European nations who have charted their own course and are both wealthier and more equal than the UK.

"The Scottish Government's imaginative and prescient to construct a greener, fairer and extra progressive unbiased nation is on the forefront of Humza Yousaf's management as Scotland's First Minister."
