Humza Yousaf facing FMQs after SNP votes to suspend Fergus Ewing

The First Minsiter is taking questions from MSPs at 12pm on Thursday.

Humza Yousaf is taking questions at FMQs just a day after the SNP’s Holyrood group voted to suspend Fergus Ewing.

The veteran MSP was given a one-week suspension on Wednesday evening following a series of rebellions against the party – including voting for a no-confidence motion against a Scottish minister.

The punishment – which neither Yousaf nor Nicola Sturgeon voted on – will have a two-week grace period during which Ewing can decide to appeal.

The First Minister also faces MSPs after Glasgow became the first part of the UK to officially approve a safe drug consumption room.

The facility allows users to take their own drugs under the supervision of health professionals.
