YouTube Description
as posted by the channelScotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf has resigned – days after he cut the SNP's power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens.
It followed a bitter row over the SNP's climbdown on climate targets as he said the agreement between the parties had "served its purpose".
As a result, his former Green allies teamed up with the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats to get behind two no-confidence motions, one in himself as leader of Scotland and another regarding the entire Scottish government.
Now – attention turns to another SNP leadership contest and what the divisions in Scottish politics could mean for the future of the independence campaign.
On the Sky News Daily, Matt Barbet speaks to Paul Hutcheon, political editor of the Daily Record, and Shona Craven, from The National, about how the SNP can move on after Mr Yousaf's resignation.
Plus, Connor Gillies, our Scotland correspondent, explains how the leadership election will unfold.
