Humza Yousaf insists he will not resign as pressure builds

Humza Yousaf has insisted he will not resign as Scotland's first minister as pressure mounts on the SNP leader after his handling of a powersharing deal with the Scottish Greens has left him with the prospect of a no-confidence vote.

"I''m feeling absolutely confident about winning that vote of no-confidence.

The way to win that vote is by writing to party leaders.

I intend to fight and to win that vote of no-confidence, I believe I can do that," he said.
