Scottish National Party leader Humza Yousaf quits, triggering a search for a successor and new first minister.
He said he had “underestimated” the level of hurt after ending a power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens last week.
The deal which brought Green ministers into government for the first time anywhere in the UK was designed to last until the next Scottish Parliament election in 2026 but has been scrapped within three years.
The tensions between the parties were obvious and increasing, not least following the recent decision to drop some key climate change targets.
Mr Yousaf says he will stay on as first minister until the SNP chooses his replacement.

Good. This guy is a clown. Instead of assimilating himself as a true Scotsman, he alienated the people. That is what Racists do.

This is the politician that proposed importing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into Scotland. Just what Europe needed: more people whose loyalty will always remain with Hamas. To really understand what this ideologue was proposing, please watch the below linked YouTube video:

Disturbing footage shows the disgraceful handling of a senior military airman who was treated as a criminal after he was court-martialed for refusing a COVID-19 vaccine.
An alarming video circulating on social media shows six soldiers at a military prison forcibly detaining USAF Senior Airman Lance Castle, who was reportedly being punished by the military for refusing a jab.

Disgraceful: Shock Footage Shows USAF Senior Airman Abused by Soldiers After Refusing COVID-19 Jab
by Adan Salazar
April 8th 2024, 11:43 am
Viral footage shows senior airman – who was later ACQUITTED – being forcibly detained by fellow officers at military prison after labeled 'insider threat' for refusing jab.
'In years of running interrogation operations against the worst of our enemies, we never treated anyone like this U.S. Air Force Senior Airman was treated,' notes Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, adding, 'Totally unacceptable behavior top to bottom.'

Specifically, the report claims Bragg brought a weak case against Trump because he succumbed to pressure from former special prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, citing media reports, Pomerantz’s book, and his deposition last year with the committee.
Notably, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has been accused of suppressing the Judiciary Committee’s report.
@russbuttypennyblackblade
“Accordingly, given the perception that the Justice Department is assisting in Bragg’s politicized prosecution, we write to request information and documents related to Mr. Colangelo’s employment.”
Jordan then pointed out Colangelo’s employment history “demonstrates his obsession with investigating a person rather than prosecuting a crime.”
“At the New York Attorney General’s Office, Mr. Colangelo ran investigations into President Trump, leading ‘a wave of state litigation against Trump administration policies.'”
“On January 20, 2021, the first day of the Biden Administration, Mr. Colangelo began serving as the Acting Associate Attorney General — the number three official in your department,” Jordan wrote.
“Bragg hired Mr. Colangelo to ‘jump-start’ his office’s investigation of President Trump, reportedly due to Mr. Colangelo’s ‘history of taking on Donald J. Trump and his family business.’ Mr. Colangelo is now a lead prosecutor in President Trump’s trial.”
“That a former senior Biden Justice Department official is now leading the prosecution of President Biden’s chief political rival only adds to the perception that the Biden Justice Department is politicized and weaponized,” Jordan added.
The letter then demands Garland provide documents and information pertaining to Colangelo’s communication with “the New York County District Attorney’s Office, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, the New York Attorney General’s Office, or the Department of Justice’s Special Counsel’s Office” related to Trump or any entity associated with Trump.
Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree related to alleged hush money payments made before the 2016 presidential election to porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump pleaded not guilty.
In opening statements last week Colangelo presented the case against Trump to the jury on behalf of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.
The letter comes days after the Committee released a 300-page report laying out evidence of Bragg’s “partisan aim” to prosecute Trump.

#BREAKING: @Jim_Jordan Investigates Justice Department Coordination with Alvin Bragg's Politicized Prosecution
Matthew Colangelo, a former senior Biden Justice Department official, is leading the political prosecution of President Trump with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
@russbuttypennyblackblade
The letter focuses on Alvin Bragg’s enlisting of Matthew Colangelo, a former senior official at the DOJ under Joe Biden, to help prosecute the case against Trump — who is currently leading Biden in the polls.
“Since last year, popularly elected prosecutors—who campaigned for office on the promise of prosecuting President Trump—engaged in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current leading candidate for that office,” Jordan wrote. “New York County District Attorney (DANY) Alvin Bragg is engaged in one such politicized prosecution, which is being led in part by Matthew B. Colangelo, a former senior Justice Department official.”
@russbuttypennyblackblade
The House Judiciary Committee is demanding answers from Attorney General Merrick Garland over what many Americans perceive to be a politically motivated prosecution against former President Donald Trump in New York.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) in a letter to Garland on Tuesday asked for clarification over the close coordination between Biden’s Justice Department (DOJ) and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in the “hush money” case against Trump.

House Judiciary GOP Demands Answers on Biden DOJ Official Working with Bragg to Prosecute Trump

AG Merrick Garland must explain why a top Biden ex-DOJ official is leading the prosecution of Biden's top political rival ahead of 2024 election, says House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.

However, there are concerns that flights under the scheme will be grounded by legal challenges. The Times reported last month that the FDA union, which represents civil servants, is expected to launch a judicial review, arguing that the Act’s power to disregard interim rulings from the European Court of Human Rights would effectively force officials to break international law.
In 2022, a flight to send asylum seekers to the country was cancelled due to an intervention from the ECHR.
The news comes as the Home Office prepares to detain the first asylum seekers for processing in Rwanda. However, as was reported earlier this week, only 2,145 of the 5,700 migrants identified for removal can be located for detention.
Officials insisted that the remainder had not absconded but simply “cannot be immediately located.” However, Home Office sources told The Times that the threat of deportation may now “outweigh” incentives of free accommodation and a £49 weekly allowance that are offered to migrants to stop them absconding.
@russbuttypennyblackblade
The first failed asylum seeker has left the UK for Rwanda—but not under Rishi Sunak’s recently passed Rwanda Act. Instead, the migrant left voluntarily, and was paid to do so.
The unnamed individual left the UK on a commercial flight on Monday after being paid around £3,000 (€3,500) to relocate. This happened under the terms of a deal with the African nation that is separate from the new state powers set out in the Safety of Rwanda Act.
