Veteran SNP MSP urges Humza Yousaf to bin powersharing deal with Scottish Greens

A veteran SNP MSP has urged Humza Yousaf to bin the Bute House Agreement before the Greens get a chance to.

The party will vote next month on whether to continue the deal with the SNP - but co-leader Patrick Harvie has pledged to resign if the result backs a separation. "I think the divergence is too great now and it’s in the interests of neither party to continue. So I’d be content if the SNP were to say ‘we’re going to work as a minority government’.”

"The priorities for the Greens are very different from ours. I’m not talking about the economy, or ecology or the climate, I’m talking about other issues they have. We should not really continue in this arrangement.”
