"Too much whites in Scotland" - Anas Sarwar, new member of the House of Lords,
Who is Anas Sarwar?
He is the son of millionaire businessman Mohammad Sarwar, who was also the UK's first Muslim MP and has served as governor of the Punjab.
Anas Sarwar was educated at Hutchesons' Grammar School - a private school on the south side of Glasgow - then attended Glasgow University, where he studied dentistry.
After five years working as a dentist in Paisley, Sarwar was elected to Westminster.
What was his route into politics?
Anas Sarwar joined the Scottish Labour party at the age of 16.
He took over his father's seat - Glasgow Central - in 2010.
He held the seat until the 2015 election, when the SNP won all but three seats in Scotland.
Anas Sarwar then turned his attention to Holyrood and was elected a list MSP for Glasgow in 2016.
The following year, he ran for Scottish Labour leader. He was firmly in the New Labour camp, while his opponent - Richard Leonard - was seen as an ally of Jeremy Corbyn. Leonard won.
But the next time the top job came up - in 2021, less than three months before the Holyrood election - Sarwar won.
He became the first non-white leader of a major political party in the UK. He is now a member of the House of Lords. He was officially introduced to the House of Lords in early September 2026, having been granted a peerage. He now holds the title Baron Sarwar of Maxwell Park
In a speech on 2020, Anas Sarwar complains strongly to the fact that there are too much whites in Scotland:""In Scotland, every chief executive of every council and every Government department: white. Every director of a department: white. Every principal of our colleges and universities: white. Every headteacher: white. Every chair of a public sector body: white. Every High Court judge: white. Every prisoner governor: white. Every editor of a news organisation: white."Niemöller fez esta confissão no seu discurso para a Igreja Confessante em Frankfurt em 6 de janeiro de 1946
