Humza Yousaf latest updates: Scotland's first minister to resign 'as early as Monday' - BBC News | |
(32 minutes later) | |
Kenny MacAskill, the East Lothian MP who served as Scotland's justice secretary before moving to Westminster and defecting to Alba, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland that Alba’s only MSP Ash Regan has been back in contact with the first minister. | |
He said Alba's demands had not changed, but no meeting has been put in place yet. | |
MacAskill said it would be an “absurd situation” for Yousaf to resign when there was an “opportunity for the SNP to get back on the independence track” through a pact with Alba. | |
However, he said the Alba party was not there to simply “prop up” the SNP. | |
He said the party was ready for an election but added: “It’s probably not what the Scottish people want.” | |
