Good piece from Paul Hutcheon on the day Humza Yousaf walked into a propeller

Humza Yousaf is a lame duck First Minister who is crawling towards the end dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

I’m betting this isn’t going to age well.

If BHA is ending it's worth remembering Humza Yousaf was only candidate to extol its virtues in SNP leadership contest, so big blow for his cred as well as Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater's.

Only 32% of the Scottish public think this SNP government deserves to be re-elected. Hardly the best backdrop to be heading into a new Holyrood election (should Humza fall and should parliament find someone else within the time limit)

They may be out of power, but Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater each have the consolation of an automatic tax-free £8,500 payment for leaving ministerial office.

If Humza Yousaf reaches out to Alba’s Ash Regan he might still not save himself. There’s plenty of folk who are sympathetic to the Green and their gender ideology. There’s talk of a minister considering their position tonight, the FMs position increasingly un-salvageable.

Anti-Zionism is a movement to recreate “the wandering Jew”.

It is a superiority complex which insists all Jews return to living precariously at the whim of non-Jewish society.

Fergus Ewing was suspended from the SNP just for voting in support of a 'no confidence' motion in the Green minister and now the FM has sacked the Green minister...

When Ash Regan defected to Alba, First Minister Humza Yousaf dismissed her as 'no great loss'. Now she has his political future in her hands. I've said it before, say it again, Yousaf minus the Bute House Agreement would struggle to survive as First Minister.

Could we be getting a readiness thermometer after all? Scottish politics needs to go have a rest in a quiet room.

There will be a press conference later this morning but right now Patrick is boxing up his limited edition Dalek figurines, Lorna is composing angry break-up poetry in a Tim Hortons, and Humza is trying to decide who gets custody of Ross Greer.

Are we sure Fergus Ewing will actually vote to keep Humza Yousaf in his job? Just asking if FM can actually account on all the SNP MSPs…

Humza Yousaf: This is 'a new beginning for the SNP'.

Everyone else: Aye, the beginning of the end.

Libdems, Greens, and likely Labour all backing the Tory no confidence motion, so Humza Yousaf’s fate is now in Alex Salmond’s hands as Ash Regan holds the key to his survival.

Harvie Weinstein conviction overturned by New York’s highest court. In a 4-3 decision they ruled trial judge mishandled the case when permitting testimony from women who claimed that he assaulted them, even though they were not part of charges he faced. Heavy blow to his victims
