Sources close to Mr Yousaf have indicated he could give up his role but a final decision has not yet been taken, according to outlets including the BBC and The Times.
SNP MSP Michelle Thomson said she has also heard rumours that Humza Yousaf is considering stepping down Ms Thomson went on to describe the First Minister as an “honourable man” who is “well liked” within the SNP Holyrood group. On Monday morning, Scottish Green Party co-leader Patrick Harvie told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I don’t think Humza Yousaf any more is in a position to be able to lead.”
“Everybody understands how deeply regrettable and unnecessary this whole situation was,” he said, adding: “I think it is really important that we return to stability.” Mr Harvie, who was fired as a government minister when the Bute House Agreement was scrapped, said: “I do want to say there is a human impact to all of this, a human element to all of this. I don’t bear Humza Yousaf personal ill will or malice in any way at all and I take no pleasure at all, none of us in the Greens do, in turbulence and chaos over the last week or two.
