Sarwar submits no-confidence motion in Scottish Government

The Scottish Labour leader said it is simply not enough to remove Yousaf as First Minister.

While the First Minister is fighting a vote of no-confidence in his leadership, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has gone a step further and says he will lodge a motion of no-confidence in the Scottish Government.

Speaking on a visit to a windfarm in East Lothian, he said it’s not enough to simply remove the First Minister – he wants a Holyrood election.

It comes as Lorna Slater insisted she will not step down as co-leader of the Scottish Greens after being sacked from government.
