The Scottish Greens join the Tories, Labour and the Liberal Democrats in declaring their intention to vote against First Minister Humza Yousaf in the wake of his decision to govern as a minority administration.
The balance of power in Scotland potentially hangs with former SNP leadership candidate Ash Regan, our Scotland correspondent Connor Gillies says.Sky News understands the Scottish Greens will not support Humza Yousaf in a confidence vote next week, something Gillies describes as an 'extraordinary twist in what has been an extraordinary couple of hours'.Scottish Labour and the Scottish Lib Dems have already confirmed they will not support the first minister remaining in post.
'She was a familiar face during the SNP electoral contest of just 12 months ago, she stood on that platform against Humza Yousaf and Kate Forbes and fell out dramatically with the party in the months after that and she defected to Alex Salmond's Alba Party,' he says.'Well now it looks like she could be making the decision about the future of the man that the stood on the same platform against to run as SNP leader last year.
