Patrick harvie and lorna slater were given Government Minister Rolls and they were summarily sacked last week in the early hours of the morning. And then turfed out onto the street to face the media, something that made them extremely angry with humza yousaf. The party had been planning to have a meeting at which their own members would have potentially brought that agreement to an end but obviously it would have been on their own time so some felt on the was under pressure to push them out before he jumped was under pressure to push them out before hejumped but the manner in which he did so, he perhaps underestimated the strength of their fury and im not sure if he did the sums and he left himself in the position of requiring the support of ash regan from the albot party which is led by alex salmond, she is the only msp and she defected from the msp ansell humza yousaf was left needing her boat and i believe he would have got her vote but within his own party it was unacceptable to be reliant on the other party to carry on and to get legislation through. And it was felt that was too high a price to pay for humza yousaf to stay on and even though he may have then won the Confidence Vote later this week it seems he is feeling as if he should resign and elect someone else Going Forward to be First Minister but the difficulty is the green party arguably have even more power than they did this time last week, choosing who the new First Minister should be, someone they think is acceptable. The First Minister should be, someone they think is acceptable. They think is acceptable. The alba a or a they think is acceptable. The alba party or a more they think is acceptable. The alba party or a more socially party or a more socially conservative than many in the leadership of the Scottish National party although not necessarily many of the membership. And alex salmond said the need to get back to bread and butter issues, a lot of rifts going on in Scottish Politics at the moment but what will our callers say . We are in the central belt but we will move up to fife and speak to alan. Kate, kevin, and amber, good morning to you. Humza yousaf will resign today, over to you.

Only a a few weeks ago he was nothing of saying that he wants scotland to be truly free and last friday he was round to douglas ross with a Begging Bowl Letter saying we need your votes to keep me in but would have thought that a Serially Incompetent Minister has been an absolute shambles in every ministerial post he ever held for the it was just as her health, would make a bad First Minister .
