Biggest own goal I’ve seen. Man scrapped his climate policy while in a coalition with the green party. The green party announced they would hold a vote on whether to stay in the coalition but the leaders of the greens asked everyone to vote to stay in the coalition.
Then, for some reason, he calls the leaders of the greens in to his office and expels the green party from his coalition, making the leaders have to do a pap walk.
What on earth did he think would happen? Would some new people just materialise in government willing to support him?

In an age of spectacular political suicide, he really worked hard to shoot himself in the foot here. Top marks.

SNP ditching the Greens to possibly work with the Conservatives, what strange bedfellows …..

Still, even though he was only there for a short time, at least he managed to make some racist remarks and annoy everyone.

Fingers crossed they hurry up and replace him so I can stop knowing every insignificant detail about Scottish politics for a bit.

Why is there no tradition for calling the first minister of Scotland a prime minister?
The UK PM is of course also the PM of Scotland, but the same applies to the Danish PM, which is also the PM of Greenland. Yet, it’s common for media in English to call the Greenland premier (landsstyreformand) for prime minister (statsminister).

Maybe a Scott can become the next minister

He’s been more concerned with Palestine than Scotland since October. SNP are finished.
