Thank you to everyone who spoke to us in Drumchapel today. People were concerned about two failing governments and many were looking forward to Labour Governments at Westminster and Holyrood.
P.S. Yes, Paul Cruikshank did manage to get a haircut between sessions!

Poulter will sit with Labour then stand down at the next election - it's only the second defection under Sunak, after Lee Anderson went to Reform, and only the second defection to Labour since the last General Election, after Christian Wakeford in 2022 - likely to spook already…

Scotland deserves an election now. We’ve endured useless government and failed leadership for too long. The circus of The SNP incompetence needs to end. heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

Humza Yousaf is out of time - but this entire SNP government needs to go.

It's time for change. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

“No longer available “ for WM Scottish Affairs committee… but fast forward a few days and she’s glamming it at a glitzy London awards night.
No longer FM but still showing maximum contempt to WM and their interest in Scotland

First Minister Humza Yousaf denies it’s over for him. He says he’ll fight on, and he’ll try to win back the Greens - after ditching them from his government just yesterday which led to him now facing a Confidence Vote.

Our full interview coming up on ITV News and ITVX

Humza Yousaf is on his way out.

The next First Minister should be chosen by the people of Scotland, not SNP members.

Time for an election.

If a debacle similar to the BHA was breaking in Westminster The SNP would be shouting for an election. So Humza Yousaf why don't we have an early Holyrood election & let the people decide? After all if the polls are as favourable as you've been making out what've you got to lose?

Hi @johnnydundee, I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you, but the failure of the Scottish DRS to launch was entirely due to Lorna Slater's incompetence. It had—and I can't stress this enough—nothing to do with Westminster.

Ash Regan MSP returning to a competent government requires SNP to be voted out. The SNP have a dismal track record of failure and incompetence and gross financial mis-management. The Majority don’t want independence. There is NO economic case at any level. This is simply not a priority.

Never forget who was the architect of the Bute House Agreement, the person who made Humza Yousaf her chosen successor and the wife of the person charged with embezzling SNP funds. She fooled many but not all of us! And now she has a vote in the VONC!
