The First Minister says for the 17 years his party has been in government 'it has a very proud record of standing up to tackle the climate crisis'.

Lorna Slater tells Humza Yousaf 'climate action is now under threat' and asks if the Scottish Government will recommit to the package of climate action announced 'or will his last act as first minister be watering down climate action and betraying future generations'.

Anas Sarwar questions if the SNP won't call an election because 'they fear the judgement of the Scottish people'.

Humza Yousaf: 'Anas Sarwar talks about leadership stitch ups, he should know about that. Just ask Richard Leonard about what he did.'

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar says John Swinney and Kate Forbes represent 'chaos', 'division' and 'more of the same'.

The First Minister describes Labour's motion of no confidence in the government yesterday as a 'waste of time' that meant there was 'less time to debate justice and compensation for the Waspi women.'

Citing long NHS waiting lists, police cuts and increasing violence in schools, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar says: 'Scotland cannot afford this distracted, divided, and incompetent SNP government.'

First Minister Humza Yousaf defends fellow SNP MSPs and takes a dig at Douglas Ross.

'You can judge a man by the company he keeps.'
