Douglas Ross: Scottish Conservatives will seek no-confidence vote on Sturgeon
Leader of the Scottish Conservatives Douglas Ross has said the Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond legal fallout in Holyrood has 'riven the very heart of Scottish politics'.Mr Ross said during an online event staged by UK think tank Onward that his party will pursue a vote of no confidence in the First Minister, following allegations that she broke the ministerial code in her handling of the inquiry.
Former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell has been charged by police as part of a probe into the party's finances. The husband of Scotland’s former first minister Nicola Sturgeon was charged on Thursday in connection with the alleged embezzlement of funds. First Minister Humza Yousaf says the development is “a really serious matter indeed.” It comes more than a year after 59-year-old Murrell was originally arrested as part of the investigation known as Operation Branchform.

Scotland’s first minister Humza Yousaf is battling for his political survival after a chaotic 24 hours which saw him end the SNP’s governing partnership with the Greens on Thursday. This was followed a couple of hours later by the Scottish Conservatives putting forward a motion of no confidence in the first minister. The motion was backed by Scottish Labour, the Scottish Lib Dems and, crucially, the Greens, who just 24 hours earlier were close cabinet colleagues. It leaves Mr Yousaf potentially having to rely on Alex Salmond’s Alba Party, and their one MSP Ash Regan, to survive a no-confidence vote. Report by Jonesia.
