The problem with the argument Alba are the kingmakers here is that Humza Yousaf knows he won’t carry all his own group of MSPs if he does a deal with them.

Yousaf is done. This is a *ridiculous* demand of Salmond but the FM has no one to blame but himself for being in the position where he could make it. Yousaf surely has to resign rather than accept this or face the VONC he will inevitably lose? thetimes.co.uk/article/pact-w…

“Go to Glasgow at least once in your life. Have a roll and square sausage and a cup of tea. When you feel the tea coursing over your spice-singed tongue, you'll know what I mean when I say: It's good to be alive." Wise words from Billy Connolly. Even better with brown sauce.

Scottish Green MSP Gillian Mackay is angry and tearful as she delivers some devastating criticisms of Humza Yousaf. (Speaking with @BBCJohnBeattie a few minutes ago on @BBCRadioScot.)

certainly not unique to Scottish politics, but the horse-trading and power-broking that will be taking place today demeans our democracy
so i hear tomorrow’s going to be another momentous day in Scottish politics 🍿
worth reflecting on the fact that the reason this daft coalition existed in the first place was because the only question that mattered to the SNP was “will you support the break up of Britain?”

It takes a very confident politician to be able to do this and not come out of it looking daft Jones is a class act

Quite astounding news from the Isle of Man. This will cause tremors throughout the whole gambling industry. The licences of King Gaming and Dalmine have been suspended following the launch of a criminal investigation.

Sadly it’s been happening since the downfall of Sturgeon last year. Salmond was acquitted of criminal acts by a jury,that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t still be accountable for the unacceptable behaviour he *admitted to*. Many others in public life have been exiled for similar.
The rehabilitation of Alex "Sleepy Cuddle" Salmond is happening in front of our eyes and I am deeply uncomfortable with it.
The problem with the argument Alba are the kingmakers here is that Humza Yousaf knows he won’t carry all his own group of MSPs if he does a deal with them.
Alex Salmond’s argument that Ash Regan is the most powerful MSP in the country might have more weight if he moved aside and let her do just a single one of the broadcast interviews. Very odd look.
Completely disagree, @CamillaTominey: it has been a mitigated disaster
It's utterly fascinating to observe which women's upset and tears moves certain men, and which doesn't.
shouldn’t someone remind yousaf that salmond wants to destroy the snp?
The Competent Forbes discourse is interesting. Firstly, because I'm not entirely sure what substance underpins it beyond being in government and not publicly screwing up. Secondly, because it's actually v difficult to tell who would or wouldn't be a (politically) competent FM.
As entertainingly baroque as the SNP's implosion is, unionists must be careful. Yousaf is palpably crap. But if he was replaced by someone compotent - like Kate Forbes - nationalist fortunes could quickly reverse. Unionists should want Humza leading the SNP into a election.
No outfit is complete without a colostomy bag poking out the bottom.

How would SNP members feel about having a leader propped up by Alex Salmond’s Alba Party? That could be the price to pay for Humza Yousaf saving his political career - he says he would be willing to negotiate with Alba’s solitary MSP so he can carry on as FM. More on @itvnews

This is extremely charming. I'm not sure I've seen this before.
'I've got my lines!' After answering, 'I don't know', to a caller's question on voter IDs, Shadow Minister Darren Jones receives a text from Labour to clarify the party's position.
I reckon I’d make a better First Minister than Humza Yousaf and I’m a total fucking shambles of a man.
