First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf has been slammed by the GB News panel after he traveled to the Middle Eastern nation of Qatar for a short break with his wife.
Qatar is a controversial place for the MP to visit due to its "persecution against LGBT people and slavery."
Speaking on GB News political commentator Adam Brooks said: "It's massive lefty hypocrisy yet again. He's going to a country that is known for human rights abuses.
"It's known for slavery. It's known for persecution against LGBT people and he's going there when the headquarters of Hamas now.

"What a terrible look for this man. I mean he's an idiot anyway. He really is a joke of a politician."
Author Rebecca Reid argued: "I'm not saying it's a good idea.
"I'm saying that half the people on my Instagram are in various parts of the I would never go to.
"I would never go to any of the United Arab Arab Emirates because I find their stance, particularly on women, abhorrent.

"However, it is fairly common. I would be very surprised if anybody in the Tory party hasn't taken their children there fairly recently, because Dubai is somewhere that they would like to if they go to.
"Dubai doesn't have a particularly good human rights record either."
She added: "What I don't like about this is people seem to be enjoying the kind of dog whistler suggestion that he is somehow a terrorist sympathizer. And there is no evidence of that.
"It's not a sensible thing to have done. I would never have done it myself.

"I think it's very dangerous to suggest he's in some way there because Hamas is there."
The news of his getaway in Qatar came months after the First Minister pleaded with the Gulf State to help broker a ceasefire in Gaza.
In November last year, the First Minister said any ceasefire would need to involve the Qataris and the release of more than 20 hostages who were captured by Hamas terrorists in its horrifying attack on Israel on October 7.
A Scottish Government spokesman released a statement reported by The Express: "The First Minister is on leave during the parliamentary recess this week, with the Deputy First Minister covering his duties."
