Nicola Sturgeon’s lawyer has been reported to the police by an MSP for ‘hate speech’ after allegedly encouraging ‘hostility towards a section of Scots’.

Mr Anwar represents former First Minister Ms Sturgeon and has spoken on her behalf following her estranged husband Peter Murrell’s embezzlement conviction.

Writing on X, Mr Kerr said: ‘I have reported Aamer Anwar to Police Scotland for the speech he gave on July 25 in Glasgow Green.
