Last night
on Ch4HDnews their Lady Scottish Reporter
asked Yousaf if he would last longer than lettuce?

Yousaf: said if that is the level of Ch4news reporting
we should end this interview

[arista]

LT folks are at betting shops on Yousaf


I do hope a News Channel
shows the bets..................

he has ben a dead man walking since he took over the leadership. Everyone knew it

SIR – Humza Yousaf’s miscalculation in ending the SNP’s power-sharing deal
with the Greens would be remarkable were it not so unsurprising. His lack of
political nous has been obvious for some time.

He described the defection of Ash Regan, the former SNP MSP, to the Alba Party
as “no great loss”. Now that she could decide his fate, she must ensure that
she is not “bought off”. Her revenge would benefit everyone in Scotland.

the vote is meaningless as it has no constitutional weight. Also he could promise the world, but just how exactly is he going to deliver anything :laugh

[arista]

Yes LT
but he now says he will work with Ash Regan
or any others from the Alba Party

On new news reports

[arista]

Great to see those letters
thanks, LT.

Humza Yousaf is to resign as Scotland's first minister as early as today, the BBC understands.

The SNP leader is expected to stand down following the collapse of the Bute
House Agreement - his party's power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens - on Thursday.

decide how she will vote this week]



[Alex Salmond, a former First Minister,
has called for a deal with the SNP that
would see one pro-independence candidate
stand in each Scottish constituency]

[Humza Yousaf is considering quitting
as Scotland's first minister rather
than face two confidence votes,
BBC News understands.

A source close to Mr Yousaf said that
resignation was now an option but
a final decision had not yet been taken.
"The clock has been ticking ever downwards,"
the source told the BBC on Sunday night.

Mr Yousaf has faced a fight for survival
as first minister after abruptly ending
the SNP's power-sharing deal with the
Scottish Greens last Thursday.

He is understood to have ruled out
a deal with Alex Salmond's Alba party, and
his prospect of surviving a vote
of no confidence in his leadership
is now dependent on the Scottish Greens.

He needs the support of at least one member
of the opposition at Holyrood to
survive the vote, which could take place
as early as Wednesday.

The parliamentary bureau, made up of the
presiding officer and MSPs from the
main parties, will decide this week
when the vote takes place and normally
gives two days notice.

Lol what a disaster

Pretty much his only legacy will be the ridiculous hate speech law

[joeysteele]

Worrying times indeed for the SNP now.
Is a new leader going to help however.

Plus if he resigns, would the no confidence motion in the SNP government still go ahead?
Because one no confidence motion was as to him.
The other though, was as to the whole SNP as the government.

[bots]

he will pretty much be compelled to hold a scottish election as his last act. This is the end of SNP domination

[arista]

Yes Mid Day
he tells us.
