Humza Yousaf is under pressure after terminating the powersharing deal between the SNP and Scottish Greens
The Alba party’s Westminster leader has said the party is “not saying we are going to save” Scotland’s First Minister, who faces no confidence votes this week.
However Alba’s Westminster leader Neale Hanvey told Times Radio that while the party is willing to listen to what Mr Yousaf has to say, it has “come to absolutely no firm conclusion” about whether to support him.Mr Hanvey said: “We’re not saying we are going to save Humza Yousaf. The situation that Humza Yousaf has got himself into is a matter of his own making. And, you know, there is a range of views around whether he will be able to tough it out or whether he’s already toast.
Letters were sent to the Scottish Conservatives, Scottish Labour, the Scottish Greens, the Scottish Liberal Democrats and the Alba Party on Friday night.He is now facing a vote of no confidence, tabled by the Scottish Conservatives, while Scottish Labour has tabled one of no confidence in the Scottish Government as a whole.
The ruling body of the pro-independence Alba Party, which is led by former first minister Alex Salmond, is holding an emergency meeting over the weekend where Ms Regan, a former SNP MSP, will set out “the areas of importance to the people of Scotland that she will seek movement on”. “Notwithstanding that, I am writing to all Holyrood party groups to ask them to meet me next week, in separate meetings, to discuss their concerns and indeed priorities, in a hopefully constructive spirit.”
