Scotland's first minister to cancel event as he fights for his future
Friday, 26 April 2024 () Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf is to cancel a speech he was due to deliver on independence in Glasgow this lunchtime, Sky News understands.
After torpedoing a relationship with the Greens and alienating his party, Scotland's first minister Humza Yousaf was due to face a vote of no-confidence later this week – but instead pre-emptively quit Parliament. Someone else at the "helm" would be a better fit as first minister, he said.
Kate Forbes has backed John Swinney, the Deputy First Minister of Scotland, in his bid to succeed Humza Yousaf as SNP leader and Scotland’s next first minister.
