It was a pleasure and a privilege working with @ChiefExecCCC. Chris is an inspirational leader. The Carbon Trust are lucky to have him.

@MalcH @petermacmahon Malcolm is of course correct. One would assume that if all the opposition parties could agree on a candidate for FM then a Scottish Government would flow from that.

@petermacmahon @davidtorrance There will be an attempt to form a new government and a vote for a new FM (which requires only a plurality of votes cast). But if no new government forms within 28 days, a new election is triggered. (I think).

Your periodic reminder that an extraordinary general election only occurs at Holyrood if a) 2/3 MSPs vote to dissolve the Scottish Parliament or b) the office of First Minister is unfilled after 28 days… 1/2

Bute House Agreement between @theSNP and @scottishgreens "terminated with immediate effect" by @HumzaYousaf @ScotGovFM Coalition over. @patrickharvie @lornaslater not longer ministers. Say FM has given in to "reactionary" forces inside SNP and he (FM) can no longer be trusted.

Asked by my colleague @HannahMargBrown : "Do you feel like you're succumbing to pressure from the Greens here? Were you pushed before you jumped?" @HumzaYousaf: "I've not been pushed, I'm still the first minister of Scotland," His judgement @ScotGovFM adds.

Humza Yousaf has now officially confirmed the BHA is over - says things have “shifted” since it was struck.

Amidst all the differing views in @theSNP about this decision on BHA by the FM, some delighted & others gutted, it is worth recalling our core objectives: to serve Scotland's people, end inequality, eradicate poverty, govern well & pursue prosperity, like other indy nations.

As the First Minister has terminated the Bute House Agreement, I firmly believe @ScotParl is strongest when there is thorough, public debate; the Gov is most effective when its priorities match the public's & @theSNP is most electable as a broad tent, representative of the nation
