The Independent – SNP leader jumps before he’s pushed

The Independent says Humza Yousaf had been facing no-confidence votes at Holyrood – but on Monday announced instead that he would be stepping down as First Minister.

The SNP is beginning the search for a new leader after a day of drama in Scottish politics saw Humza Yousaf announce his resignation as the country’s First Minister.

Facing two votes of no confidence at Holyrood, and without the support of the Greens whom he had angered when he terminated the powersharing agreement between the two parties, Mr Yousaf came to the conclusion his time was up.
