The SNP are falling apart before our eyes- but the poor decisions, lack of co-operation, and terrible policymaking were there all along. It's just been exposed in more recent years.
Enjoyable to watch the people who argued that the UK Tory party shouldn't choose the next UK PM without an election, and the Welsh Labour Party shouldn't choose the next Welsh FM without an election, now defending the SNP choosing the next Scottish FM without an election.
Yousaf going doesn't solve the chaos at the the heart of the SNP and doesn't stop the Scottish Government lurching from crisis to crisis. It's time to move on - and only an election can deliver the change Scotland needs.
The SNP is playing political games when our country needs strong leadership.
The Scottish Conservatives have delivered on our promise to be a strong opposition. We have forced Humza Yousaf out of office for repeatedly failing Scotland. My statement on the First Minister's resignation👇🏻
After 17 years, this is a stale government that has been in power too long. People can’t see a GP or an NHS dentist, our schools slipping down the international rankings, businesses struggling to make ends meet and islanders left without lifeline ferries.
Anas Sarwar calls for Scottish election after Humza Yousaf resignation. Scottish Labour leader says office of first minister cannot be a 'revolving door or plaything of the SNP' as the party faces its third leader in two years. i.stv.tv/44mry8L
Like his predecessors, he spent far too much time obsessing about the break-up of the UK while ignoring the real priorities of people in Scotland, who are living with the failures of 17 years of the SNP in government. scotlandinunion.co.uk/post/first-min…
We knew the best chance of winning a VoNC was in Humza Yousaf himself. That’s why @ScotTories tabled it last Thursday and he’s now jumped before being pushed. We saw off Nicola Sturgeon and now Humza Yousaf. Now we work to remove this entire rotten SNP Government from office.

The SNP cannot impose another unelected First Minister on Scotland. The people of Scotland must have a say. It’s time for change.
After 17 years in power it is clear that the SNP government’s priorities are not the people’s priorities. People can’t get a doctor’s appointment or see an NHS dentist, our schools are tumbling down the international rankings and they have abandoned Scotland’s climate targets.
This is what happens when governments focus on ideology over policy, party over country, political survival over people.

A reminder, Contempt of Court Act is in effect. Don't say anything stupid.

UK watchdog said SNP-Green climate target is "not credible." It's time for the Scottish Government to focus on Scotland's priorities, not the SNP's. Support SIU today to help kick out the SNP for good. Donate here: scotlandinunion.co.uk/donate Source: theccc.org.uk/publication/pr…
Ministers must explain why spending several pounds for every person downloading a report, as was the case with some of these papers, is good value for money. It’s time for the @scotgov to stop wasting resources this way and focus on people’s priorities. scotsman.com/news/politics/…

The SNP are falling apart before our eyes- but the poor decisions, lack of co-operation, and terrible policymaking were there all along. It's just been exposed in more recent years.
Some SNP trivia: Since 22 September 1990, when Gordon Wilson stood down, the SNP has been led by Alex Salmond, someone who was Alex Salmond’s deputy, or someone who was Alex Salmond’s assistant.
If Swinney takes over it is an acknowledgment that the SNP is headed for significant losses. A year ago he said he’d been trying to step down front the frontline since 2016. A new leader would immediately face disaster, Swinney is expendable as he’s already resigned.
Nearly killed myself to get home (after a great meeting) in time to watch the second SNP First Minister in a year resign. What a mess. And who suffers the most from the SNP’s psychodrama - the people of Scotland, that’s who…
Hard to believe that anyone in the SNP would seriously think that what they need right now as Leader is another continuity candidate
Imagine the SNP gets a new FM prepared to be honest with the people of Scotland & say: splitting from the UK will make us poorer & make social challenges like poverty more acute, but we're willing to face up to this, lay out the facts honestly, & argue it's a price worth paying.
Enjoyable to watch the people who argued that the UK Tory party shouldn't choose the next UK PM without an election, and the Welsh Labour Party shouldn't choose the next Welsh FM without an election, now defending the SNP choosing the next Scottish FM without an election.
Yousaf going doesn't solve the chaos at the the heart of the SNP and doesn't stop the Scottish Government lurching from crisis to crisis. It's time to move on - and only an election can deliver the change Scotland needs.
The SNP is playing political games when our country needs strong leadership.
A weekend is a long time in politics... Humza Yousaf has been forced out the door following the @ScotTories motion of no confidence in his leadership. Now let's take the fight to the SNP right across Scotland.
The @ScotTories momentum continues - out in Perth today with @LukeGrahamUK & a very warm reception from local voters on the High Street
