I'm not convinced he'd even want to leave the comfort of Westminster for Holyrood.

It’s a peculiarly Scottish thing that everyone thinks that nobody would want to leave London for Scotland?

Big announcement by First Minister Humza Yousaf as he faces no confidence motion next week - £80m funding over two years to increase number of affordable homes. Money would allow empty homes to be bought by organisations to reduce homelessness.

If that's true, it sums up why my inner cynic hates politicians.

To be a little bit fair to him, he is literally telling everyone the party is moving back towards focussing on this sort of thing rather than identity issues. Even if he was bounced into it.

Given the polls, the job security isn’t great?

I can't be "fair" to politicians who try to buy favours with things that, were they appropriate, should have been done already. (see also Thatcher, 1980's)

You can’t reverse several years of poorly focussed Governmrnt with your chosen partners in just over 24 hours. He is in a mess he inherited and failed to address.

Why? What have they done to make you hate them?

I suppose hate is too strong a word but I just can’t agree with their policies, direction they are taking us and appointing HY as a continuity candidate.

I voted for KF in the leadership election as I thought she’d be the best to achieve independence.

SNP is hated by the majority of the business community and you’ll never win independence with that being the case.

They think making Scotland a ‘fairer’ country is the key, with their gender and hate crime bills. I just think making Scotland successful is the key to independence with fair polices that the country actually supports.

Yup, more to do with better career prospects down there especially if you're leader. Flynn is surfing a bit of a wave at the moment because of a few funny quips at PMQ's and his stance on Gaza. When questioned in more detail I'm not convinced he'd put country before himself. When questioned about forming a Constitutional Convention he wasn't interested, when asked about who was Sovereign in Scotland he answered the UK Parliament and my latest annoyance was when he was sounding off about Scotlands vast opportunities in Green Energy in front of a backdrop of a huge windmill heading out to sea, the problem being it was in Cromarty.

I've no doubt though that if he became FM it would bring a lot of voters back to the SNP.

Of course. I personally don’t think he can do it and it will need to be someone else but it will take consistent effort over time.

Scot gov recently cut the budget by £200 million they have only partially recovered this by giving back £40mil per year, smoke and mirrors

Brian McLauchlin from Scottish federation of housing associations

@BrianSFHA
The Scottish Government originally cut the budget by £196m. Whilst it's welcome they've partially restored a bit of this, it pales in comparison to what we've lost

It’s not enough but it’s a start on re-focussing the party. Won’t be enough for him but the party has to make a start. New leader is needed now.

So Jackie Baillie says that Labour will support Douglas Ross' no confidence motion. That's nice. I hope all our Labour supporters on here take note of where their party's allegiances lie.

That's a stupid post. Opposition parties take every opportunity put the government of the day in trouble. If Labour had dumped the Greens, Humza Youself would be supporting the Tories

I wouldn’t call any other poster here or their posts stupid, it’s all about opinions.
You are right though , this isn’t a vote with the Tories , it’s a vote against the First Minister which I think the majority of us understand. . If the SNP try to fight an election on the basis that there is no difference between the Tories and Labour then, as some senior SNP MP’s have warned against, ’they will get the defeat they deserve. If Yousaf falls and Forbes becomes leader it will be an impossible sell anyway.

Madness. Of course Labour wants to bring the SNP government down, they would probably be favourites to take hold of the chamber. They shouldn't be a party if they didn't want that

This is the beauty of political debate 😆

The SNP debaters are regularly reminded by the Labour side about the SNP voting with the torys that subsequently ushered in Thatcher.

We could have a sweep to see when it will happen next 😉

Labour are bringing down SNP to bring in Labour is completely different to bringing down Labour to bring in tories. It's still terrible patter to blame the current SNP for something that happened decades ago, it's like praising trump for the republicans helping stop slavery
