Humza Yousaf has resigned as Scotland’s First Minister before two planned votes of confidence this week.
The SNP leader’s premiership had been hanging by a thread since he ended the Bute House Agreement with the Scottish Greens last week.
Mr Yousaf has now confirmed his premiership is over as he steps down from his role rather than face parliament after the Scottish Tories tabled a motion of no confidence in him and Scottish Labour submitted a similar motion against his Government.

He’s made a complete mess of every position he has had , sturgeon recommended him because she knew he wouldn’t dig too deeply into her past actions.
I hope someone is helping him write his resignation letter as he is so USELESS he will probably mess that up. Time for an Election in Scotland.
Humza Yousaf should resign he’s lost the confidence of the Scottish people with his anti Scottish people’s policy’s.
