Former coalition partners’ decision brings Scottish first minister to brink of losing vote, which could make his position untenable
Humza Yousaf could be forced to quit as first minister next week after the Scottish Greens announced they would back a Conservative motion of no confidence against the man who “betrayed” the Greens by unilaterally ending a coalition deal.
Patrick Harvie, the Scottish Greens’ co-leader, said the party was furious Yousaf had suddenly torn up the Bute House agreement, which had seen the Greens share power with the Scottish National party (SNP) for nearly three years.
