Humza Yousaf resigns as Scotland's first minister | ITV News
Humza Yousaf has resigned as first minister of Scotland after a year in office.
Speaking at a press conference at Bute House, his official residence in Edinburgh, he said he is unwilling to undermine his "morals and values to retain power".
His resignation will now trigger an SNP leadership contest, but Mr Yousaf confirmed he will continue to serve in office in the interim until a suitable replacement is found.
It comes after days of tumultuous fighting cross-party following the collapse of a power-sharing deal between the SNP and Scottish Greens on Thursday.

Don't let him just resign. He's a career politician that despises these countries. Ensure he's never in a position of power and keep him out. He should be held accountable for his actions, and you need to do it.

@@CriticalThinker-Lad What leaves me aghast is that the majority of people I speak with have absolutely no idea we are in the middle of a Cultural Revolution akin to the Marxist revolutions of 1917 and Chinese Revolutions of the 60's. Very, very smart people have control of the levers of power and if we do not wake up to what they have planned, we are doomed to live under the rule of a Tyrannical Surveillance State. This really is the last chance for the survival of Individual, personal freedoms. It is truly frightening. I think the outcome is inevitably war on our streets. The enemy is not at the gates, they are already within!
Good. Waste of time.
And nothing of value was lost. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Brutal business of politics. Only narcissism and naked ambition plus a hunger for power makes too many people go into politics. Nobody should ever feel sorry for rejected, criticised politicians. He chose that career and brought the opprobrium on himself.
maybe we can have at least one country in Europe that remains ethnically homogeneous to the indigenous population, just incase we get bread out of existance, losing our cultural identity. Japan seems to want homogeneity. Are they wrong ?
hey scotland you asked for it now face it
