DOUGLAS Ross was scolded in the Holyrood chamber after he called John Swinney’s integrity into question – and repeatedly declined to apologise…
Ross had questioned why no serving Cabinet ministers had thrown their hat into the ring to replace Humza Yousaf, calling the first minister’s office a “poisoned chalice”.
He responded: “Oh, sorry. I thought it was on accuracy because it would be Not-So-Honest John, with some of the things we've heard recently.” Johnstone was forced to interrupt for a third time, saying: You may not be able to hear me. I'd be grateful if you would apologise.”If the motion had passed, the entire Scottish Government would have been forced to resign, with Holyrood given 28 days to elect a new first minister before an election was called.
“The true vote of no confidence that the people of Scotland really need, and they deserve, is a vote of no confidence in this failing, miserable union that is holding Scotland back and inflicting damage on the people and the economy of this country.”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.
