SNP government survives confidence vote
SNP confidence vote

THE Scottish Greens have saved Humza Yousaf’s government just two days after he was forced to resign as First Minister and leader of the SNP over his botched break-up with them.

In the aftermath of Mr Yousaf’s decision to withdraw from his coalition agreement with the Greens, motions of no confidence in him and his government as a whole were moved by the Tories and Scottish Labour respectively.

His resignation speech on Monday left only the Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar’s attempt to spark an early Holyrood election on the order paper.
