The Alba Party could decide whether Humza Yousaf is forced to resign as First Minister in a vote of no confidence that has been tabled at Holyrood.
The Scottish Green’s Lorna Slater said her party had “no confidence in a progressive Government” in Scotland and would back the Tory motion to unseat Humza Yousaf.
It comes as Mr Yousaf scrapped the Bute House Agreement on Thursday morning, setting off a political firestorm at Holyrood that has put his job at risk.
Ms Slater said: “We supported Humza Yousaf to be First Minister last year on the basis of a pro-independence majority Government, where we would be working together to deliver rent controls, to deliver real change on climate, nature, new protections for tenants.
“Today the First Minister decided to tear up that agreement, to end the Bute House Agreement, and so we no longer have confidence in a progressive Government in Scotland doing the right thing for climate and nature.
“So, the Scottish Green MSPs will not be supporting Humza Yousaf in a vote of no confidence.”
