Exclamation

Useless Yousaf trying to score points from Westminster today re the Post office scandal

He does not even get the basic distinction between the Post Office and Royal Mail correct

utterly embarrassing

I see Green leaders Harvie and Slater have updated their pronouns to was / were.

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.

Kate Forbes MSP
@_KateForbes
"As the First Minister has terminated the Bute House Agreement, I firmly
believe @ScotParl is strongest when there is thorough, public debate; the Gov
is most effective when its priorities match the public's & @theSNP
is most electable as a broad tent, representative of the nation"

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.

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.]
