Ash Regan, who is the Alba party's sole MSP, says she is willing to work with the next leader of the Scottish National Party. | |
Hamza Yousaf turned down a chance to cut a deal with Regan, which could have potentially seen him survive a confidence vote and cling on as first minister. | |
Regan - who defected from the SNP in 2022 - says "bizarrely some forces in Humza Yousaf's own party would rather see him resign than deal with a party who really want to advance independence". | |
She continues: "However, a new SNP leader and a new first minister will not change parliamentary arithmetic. | |
"I continue to stand ready to work in the best interests of Scotland and to advance the cause of Scottish independence." | |
