Humza Yousaf could be forced to quit as Scotland’s first minister after the Scottish Greens announced they would back a motion of no confidence against him at Holyrood.

The Scottish National party’s former coalition partners declared they would vote next week against the man who had “betrayed” them, hours after he unilaterally ended their power-sharing deal.

Yousaf stunned allies and opponents on Thursday morning by announcing he was suddenly axing the arrangement with the Greens signed by Nicola Sturgeon in 2021, hailed then as a new era in consensus politics.

He called in Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater – the Scottish Greens’ co-leaders and junior ministers in his government – early in the morning to tell them they had been sacked and that he was ripping up the agreement.

Former adviser to Tony Blair John McTernan joins TalkTV’s Jake Berry and says Yousaf “is a goner” and has "no chance" of remaining as Scotland's First Minister.
