Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf has resigned.
He was adamant he could survive an incoming vote of no confidence after ceasing a deal with The Greens.
“I have informed the SNP’s National Secretary of my intention to stand down as Party Leader,” Mr Yousaf said during a press conference.
“Unfortunately in ending the Bute House Agreement in the manner that I did, I clearly underestimated the level of hurt and upset that caused.
“For a minority government to be able to govern effectively and efficiently trust when working with the Opposition is clearly fundamental.”
