HUMZA Yousaf has brought a sudden end to the Bute House Agreement with the Scottish Greens.
After the Scottish Government announced that it would be ditching its 2030 climate targets and welcomed NHS Scotland's decision to pause prescribing puberty blockers to under-18s, the membership of the Scottish Greens demanded an extraordinary general meeting be held to discuss the future of the power sharing deal.
The meeting was scheduled to take place next month however Yousaf appears to have pushed the Greens before they could jump.
While some figures within the SNP such as Joanna Cherry and Fergus Ewing have long been calling for the Bute House Agreement to end, others have stressed the value of the deal and warned against ruling as a minority government.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
