Humzas got to go plead with the one person he really doesn't want to now to save his job.

I do wonder at what point in this process the penny dropped for Yousless? I'm willing to bet it was a fair bit AFTER he made the decision to eject the Greens Marxists.

I hope that Humza suffers a very painful fall , a fall harder than tumbling from his pathetic scooter. I’ve heard people saying that he’s a racist prick, and it’s very hard to disagree with that rumour tbh.

Careful what we all wish for? Politics is a funny old business

To be fair, if my boss had just taken away my £34k annual bonus I'd be a bit pissed too

[sherman]

Rumours are

Humza is stepping down tomorrow apparently

And out of Left field
Neil Gray is to take over as a caretaker supposedly.

I would assume thats because none of the big hitters are wiling to put their names to the current stshow.

Of course Neil Gray might be caretaker SNP leader. He won't be FM. The FM iselected by the MSPs.


Watching News at Ten. Ross Geer looks like a spotty 6th year doesn't he?

Love the way she choose to wear a green dress today.

Just in case the No Confidence Vote ends up tied then the Presiding officer gets the casting vote.
The Presiding officer is Alison Johnstone.
Which party does she come from.
GREENS.

Oh dear Humza.

[rider73]

Do we think here he may have been setup by his own people?
This bloody greens environment policy is killing us. Scrap it humza, it's what a true SNP leader will do....
Yeah yeah get rid of the greens coalition, before they get rid of you.... Otherwise it will look bad... Don't worry we're all behind you...
Ooo a no confidence vote
No problem we'll all back you
Oh they really did call for a no confidence vote....
Yeah you won't win. What option do you have. Better go mate.

Oh dear Humza.

The convention is that the casting vote goes in favour of the status quo.

[CoolHands]

Is the vote confidential

Convention doesnt need to be followed.

Another Emergency cabinet meeting in the morning.
Whose on the 8.30am bus this time

[Evercross]

“Who the fk is Neil Gray?”

Will be the question on everyone’s lips by lunchtime.

Ironic that Humza invoked Liz Truss at FMQ’s.

It is isn’t it.

You just know that he’ll be back in the media within months, pretending nothing happened, spouting off nonsense.

He’ll probably have someone write a book for him.

Is that speculation or is there a site that allows you to see the government’s agenda for the day

I wonder if Humza wishes he had shown a bit more grace when Ash left the SNP.

"Mr Yousaf, however, said Ms Regan’s departure was “no great loss to the SNP group” "

Speculation but it seems Wings has at least one MSP mole at the centre of it, he was right last time. (And in fairness has been right on quite a lot of late).

It doesn’t, but in this case the chance of her breaking it is close to zero. The Presiding Officer “should” be impartial, so if she was to depart from convention in this case her own position would be untenable as it would clearly be to stick the knife into Hapless given his treatment of her former colleagues. I suspect it’s academic now as I doubt there will be a vote.

The LBC interview yesterday with Salmond was interesting; he said he had never witnessed such bad politics from a FM. By treating Harvie and Slater the way he did, then slagging off all the other parties he would have to rely on as a minority government, takes a very special sort of imbecile.

Has it happened before?
