Douglas Ross, the leader of the Scottish Conservatives, is claiming Humza Yousaf's resignation as a major victory for his party - before the first minister has even announced it. | |
It was Ross's party that tabled the first confidence vote last week, a move designed to pressure Yousaf following the collapse of the power-sharing deal underpinning his government. | |
Writing on X - formerly Twitter - this morning, Ross said: "We knew the best chance of winning a [vote of no-confidence] was in Humza Yousaf himself. | |
"That’s why [Scottish Tories] tabled it last Thursday and he’s now jumped before being pushed. | |
"We saw off Nicola Sturgeon and now Humza Yousaf. | |
"Now we work to remove this entire rotten SNP government from office." | |
