My dad, who really had so much foresight, said that we were living at a time when we needed more representation and we didn't really have anything. He was the one that said I should go into politics.

We will transition from being the oil and gas capital of Europe to unleashing our renewable potential and becoming the net-zero capital of the world. We will show moral leadership and ensure funding for loss and damage is not just pledged but paid and I would urge other nations to join us.

You cut me open, I'm about as Scottish as you come. But the truth of the matter is, I don't know whether the future for me and my wife and my three children is going to be here in Scotland or the U.K., or indeed in Europe and the West, because I have, for some time, really worried about the rise of Islamophobia.

Scotland is the country I love.

As an angry 16-year-old Muslim growing up in the West in the aftermath of 9/11, with all of the Islamophobia that ensued after that, I wanted to change the world, and change attitudes. Politics has given me a platform and a voice to do that.
