Humza Yousaf’s SNP coalition with Greens collapses
Humza Yousaf’s coalition with the Scottish Greens has collapsed after he decided to scrap their power-sharing agreement. The First Minister ended the SNP’s coalition deal this morning before Scottish Green members had the chance to vote on it next month. Green members demanded the vote after the Scottish Government scrapped its flagship climate change target last week. The end of the deal, originally negotiated by Nicola Sturgeon, comes after a troubled three-year partnership and Mr Yousaf will now lead a minority government at Holyrood. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...wanda-cameron/ ![]() The Scottish Greens reacted with fury and accused Mr Yousaf of an “act of political cowardice” while the Scottish Tories labelled the collapse of the deal an “utter humiliation” for the SNP leader. |

SNP-Green coalition deal has ‘turned to dust’, says Douglas Ross
Douglas Ross, the leader of the Scottish Tories, told Humza Yousaf that the SNP leader had previously described the coalition deal with the Scottish Greens as being “worth its weight in gold”. Mr Ross said: “Today it has turned to dust.” He suggested that the Greens had been correct in describing Mr Yousaf as “weak”. “Humza Yousaf should have ditched this extreme party on day one of his leadership ,” he said. Mr Ross asked: “At what point in the last 48 hours did it come to its natural conclusion or did Humza Yousaf panic because the extreme Greens were about to jump before he could dump them?” Douglas Ross labels Humza Yousaf a ‘lame duck first minister’ Douglas Ross said: “There is no defence at all. We said from the very beginning this was a coalition of chaos and it has ended in absolute chaos. “Humza Yousaf’s government is in crisis, it has unravelled. He has abandoned the platform he stood on. He claims it is now a new beginning but really it is the beginning of the end. “Isn’t Humza Yousaf a lame duck First minister?” Mr Ross said: “I can confirm today that on behalf of the Scottish Conservatives I am lodging a vote of no confidence in Humza Yousaf. He is a failed first minister. He has focused on the wrong priorities for Scotland. |

He's been an unmitigated disaster - Scotland would be better off HANDING wee Nic another £600k to come back and boot him out the door. That's not even an endorsement of Nicola, just an honest comment about how bad he is. Patronising arse.

On BBC Newsdrive,
@patrickharvie confirms that the Greens WILL support VONC in @HumzaYousaf . Now all eyes on @AshReganALBA - she has his fate in her hands. Surely she can’t save his failing Government?

Alex Salmond’s Alba Party will now decide whether Humza Yousaf is forced to resign as
First Minister as the Scottish Greens said they would vote against him in a confidence vote at Holyrood.

Ash Regan of Alba will now write to Usless setting out her demands (which I think will be very unpalatable) and if he does not grant them all she will vote and tip the balance against Useless
The SNP would then have 28 days (to appoint Kate Forbes) he is totally f.u.c.k.e.d. |

BBC News Text :
[There is a smorgasbord of different stories on Friday's front pages. The Guardian headlines on Scotland's first minister Humza Yousaf being in "peril" as the Scottish Greens say they will back a no confidence motion against him. The Greens said they would vote against the man who "betrayed" them, the paper reports, after the first minister ended their power-sharing deal with his Scottish National Party.]
