Future of Scotland's first minister hangs in the balance as Greens back no-confidence motion

The Scottish Green Party will join with rival MSPs to back a no-confidence motion in First Minister Humza Yousaf next week, after the SNP kicked its coalition partners out of government.
Mr Yousaf announced his plan to cut ties with the Greens earlier on Thursday, following a bitter row over the SNP's climbdown on climate targets.
And soon after, the Scottish Conservatives announced it would lodge a vote of no-confidence in him, claiming the first minister had "failed" in his role and had "focused on the wrong priorities for Scotland".

Anyone that understands Scottish politics should know This no-confidence vote means absolutely nothing. Even if it is passed, there is no legal ground in Scottish government that he needs to do anything about it, he can just continue to be FM. It’s not the same as a no-confidence vote in the government, which actually has ramifications. This is nothing but posturing. And I think he is terrible, and the SNP are nothing but a shadow of the force they used to be.
