Some chat on here about a need for a two thirds majority in Holyrood when it comes to motions of no confidence in FM or govt.
That’s not the case they require only a simple majority in the Parliament for the motion to be agreed.

NEW - Douglas Ross tells Martin Stanford on LBC News the Scottish Tories are “reaching out” to all opposition parties in Holyrood when asked if he’s spoken to Ash Regan
+ he will put himself forward if there’s an election for FM in wake of VONC
+ he’s ready for an election

NEW - an event at Strathclyde University due to hear from Humza Yousaf today has been cancelled. He was to give a keynote speech on the “labour market in an independent Scotland”

I have written to Humza Yousaf this morning requesting a reset, and a return to competent government, where we prioritise independence and protect the dignity, safety and rights of women and children. I remain open to any discussion where we progress the priorities of the people…

Despite speculation been told by Scottish Government there’s no emergency Cabinet meeting today.

LibDem MP Christine Jardine tells Lisa Aziz on LBC News that she doesn’t believe Humza Yousaf will survive the VONC. Says people in Scotland are “angry” with SNP and need a “proper government that does more than oppose Westminster for the sake of it”

Humza Yousaf has taken a big gamble in sacking the Scottish Greens, writes @GinaDavidson buff.ly/3Qjve5o

Hearing the opposite. Too much fevered speculation for one day. Sleep calls

’She is not there to be bought off.’

Neale Hanvey, the Alba Party’s Westminster leader, tells Iain Dale ⚒️🇺🇦.🇮🇱. he does not know how Ash Regan will vote on a no-confidence motion brought against Humza Yousaf.

It’s more than five years since William Lindsay killed himself in Polmont at the age of 16. When this comes into force no child will ever be sent to Polmont again. It won’t bring back William, but it’s something. More power to all who made it happen.

Interesting reaction from one SNP councillor to the fact Ash Regan could hold HY’s future in her hands. Is the SNP ready for a Holyrood election- politically and financially?

‘If Humza discovers the political skill…'

Andrew Marr puts Alex Salmond on the spot: will the Alba Party decide to save the Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf in next week's no-confidence vote?
