James O'Brien reacts to Humza Yousaf resigning as SNP leader | LBC

As Humza Yousaf resigns as SNP leader, James O'Brien gives his thoughts on the situation and hears from LBC's Scotland Political Editor, Gina Davidson, to discuss who's in line to replace him.

Yousaf has stepped down as SNP leader after the party's power-sharing deal broke down.

He will continue as first minister during the interim period until an SNP leadership election is held - a move reminiscent of Nicola Sturgeon's actions before him.

This decision comes after Yousaf's earlier stance of not resigning and aiming to secure two votes of confidence.

'A full and frank acknowledgement of his own misjudgement'

'28 days give or take to find a replacement'

'Refreshing honesty'

'It was political naivety on his part.'

'It was proper patriotism at the end'

'They had such a bruising time of it last year'

'John Swinney would be the obvious candidate for this role'
