Good to see that The Nine have 2 excellent female commentators on tonight Shona Craven & Catriona Stewart to talk about the SNP leadership. Today has felt a bit like going back in time as the men in grey suits have moved to fix things.

An absolute hoot at the Seven Days wrap party,with so many good people. It’s been such an incredible experience & opportunity to be part of the Seven Days panel roster for last 4.5 years.

Ash Regan might hold power with regards Yousaf’s confidence vote, but she’s not enough for a working majority to pass legislation in Holyrood. So the SNP would still need to woo the Greens or work with unionist colleagues.

Cole-Hamilton says no to talks with the First Minister repeating Lorna Slater's attack line that Humza Yousaf is untrustworthy and calling for him to resign.

Yesterday at the Dundee housing development visit there was a strong smell of burning toast coming from someone's flat and I wonder if the First Minister noticed. Felt too obvious a detail for this sketch: heraldscotland.com/news/24282550.…

Jibes, jeopardy and journalists - inside Humza Yousaf's jaunt to Dundee.
'He is trying to rebuild his reputation on a building site. You don't restore voter faith against a backdrop where the jokes write themselves.'

Seeing as we're all talking about Ash Regan, here's what she told me about the Greens, Humza Yousaf and the Scottish Parliament last month

'I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to make an impact' 👀holyrood.com/inside-politic…

Humza Yousaf is on a visit to Hillcrest Housing Association’s Derby Street development in Dundee after cancelling a Glasgow event. He’s trying to plug an £80 million investment in housing - but there’s only one question in town and it’s that of the First Minister’s future.

I have written to Humza Yousaf this morning requesting a reset, and a return to competent government, where we prioritise independence and protect the dignity, safety and rights of women and children. I remain open to any discussion where we progress the priorities of the people

Excellent explainer from Andrew Learmonth on all the factors around a possible resignation from the First Minister.

Not to add to the troubles but the sanctions to be imposed on Michael Matheson by the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee are due in the next week or so...

Scottish Greens roundly reject that the party’s support for a motion of no confidence in Humza Yousaf is motivated by revenge. But Lorna Slater still clearly furious following her earlier statement. How can Humza Yousaf work with the Greens “having treated us this way?” she says.
