They were picked by Apolitical, a platform supporting the work of public servants, whose funders and partners include the UK Cabinet Office, European Commission, Canadian Government and World Economic Forum.

While Black and Yousaf were not in the top 20, no other UK MPs or MSPs made the list.

Honoured to be on the list of World's 100 Most Influential Young People in Govt/Politics - alongside @MhairiBlack



The main reason I'm proud of this is that it is official proof that I am still young (!)



Also, many people on the list are folk I greatly admire. https://t.co/eOqphWSSmV — Humza Yousaf (@HumzaYousaf) November 28, 2018

Also ranked in the top 100 was Magid Magid, the Green party Lord Mayor of Sheffield.

Announcing the rankings on its website, Apolitical said: "Drawing on hundreds of nominations from experts and leading organisations, the list recognises people in the field of government and policy who have made a mark early in their careers (everyone on the list is aged 35 or below).

"These include some well-known faces at the centre of policymaking who are exerting influence on the international stage. But we also shine the spotlight on those quietly transforming the face of government at the local or national level.

Scottish Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf

"These young leaders are ones to watch, who will continue to transform governments far and wide for years to come."

Black is 24 years old, and first secured her Westminster seat in 2015's general election.

She was the first MP to be elected under the Electoral Administration Act 2006's reduction of the age of candidacy from 21 to 18 years old.

She is also a columnist for The National.

Yousaf is 34 years old and, as well as his Cabinet role, has been the SNP MSP for Glasgow Pollok since 2016.
