Mr Yousaf is now attempting to build bridges with the other party leaders at Holyrood as he fights for his political future, inviting them to talks at his official residence.Former SNP MSP, and now Alba Party Holyrood leader Ash Regan, could have a key role in determining Mr Yousaf's political future.One of the meetings will be with Alba's MSP Ash Regan, who has not yet confirmed how she will vote in the looming motions of no confidence at Holyrood.
