In a recent development, SNP politician Ivan McKee has expressed his belief that if Humza Yousaf, the current First Minister of Scotland, loses a forthcoming vote of no-confidence, he will step down from his position. McKee asserted that such an outcome would serve as a "clear indication of the will of the parliament."

McKee, who played a key role as campaign manager for Kate Forbes in the SNP leadership contest, expressed his support for Yousaf's decision to end the power-sharing agreement with the Scottish Greens. He further noted that the party is rallying behind Yousaf, uniting as one.

However, Yousaf has made it clear that he remains determined to continue as the First Minister, expressing confidence that he will win the impending confidence vote, anticipated to take place as early as Wednesday. The Scottish politician has also expressed his intent to initiate talks with opposition parties, aiming to find ways to "make minority government work."

Patrick Harvie, co-leader of the Scottish Greens, criticized the First Minister's decision to terminate the power-sharing agreement, claiming it reflects the government's failure to prioritize environmental concerns. Harvie's statement came after the SNP-led government scrapped the aforementioned deal with the Greens, leading to accusations from Alex Salmond that Yousaf has effectively placed decision-making power in the hands of the Alba Party.

Reacting to the end of power-sharing, the Scottish Greens accused the SNP of "capitulating to reactionary forces." Co-leaders Lorna Slater and Patrick Harvie were seen leaving Bute House, suggesting discussions and assessments within the party. Green members are now set to vote on whether to officially terminate the power-sharing agreement with the SNP, following the latter's abandonment of critical climate change targets.

Amidst these developments, the First Minister acknowledged the seriousness and shocking nature of the embezzlement charge levied against Peter Murrell, husband of former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. Murrell was taken into custody on Thursday morning and was questioned by detectives.

Furthermore, it has been reported that Scotland's net zero minister has abandoned the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 75% by 2030. In response to this shift, Alex Salmond, the ex-First Minister, has called for Scotland to take "great leaps forward" in addressing climate change.

As the political landscape in Scotland continues to evolve, all eyes will be on the upcoming vote of no-confidence and its potential implications for First Minister Humza Yousaf.
