LONDON — Humza Yousaf reached for the reset button Tuesday. But, with a police probe engulfing the Scottish National Party he now leads, it looks like he’ll need a bigger button.In a key speech to the Scottish parliament, the devolved nation’s new first minister set out his platform for the next three years at the helm of the governing SNP. Yet all the attention was on both his absent predecessor Nicola Sturgeon — and another high-profile arrest in the party ranks.On Tuesday morning, just as Yousaf prepared to deliver his plan, the SNP’s treasurer Colin Beattie was taken into custody in connection with an ongoing police investigation into the SNP’s finances.It’s the latest twist in a near-two-year inquiry by Police Scotland, which began after complaints were made about the party’s use of a £600,000-plus fund raised by activists and intended to be ring-fenced for campaigning on its biggest prize: Scottish independence.
