Humza Yousaf considering 'calling it quits' as Scotland's first minister as early as today

Humza Yousaf is considering resigning as Scotland's first minister as early as today, Sky News understands. A senior source has said the embattled SNP leader could 'call it quits' later ahead of a key vote of no confidence later this week. Mr Yousaf is facing two no confidence votes at Holyrood in the coming days after the collapse of his power-sharing agreement with the Scottish Greens.

The pair had been due to meet this week with Ms Regan bringing a set of demands as her price of agreement. But, some senior figures within the SNP had said publicly and privately that would be an electoral disaster and seriously harm the nationalist cause. One MP said it would go down like a 'cup of cold sick'. Sky News understands Mr Yousaf could now walk on Monday ahead of the vote. However, no final decision has been made.
