The Scottish National Party (SNP) has terminated its power-sharing agreement with the Scottish Greens, leading to the SNP running a minority government. This decision, communicated by First Minister Humza Yousaf, comes after a disagreement over climate targets, specifically a row over climate target commitments. The Bute House Agreement, established under Yousaf's predecessor Nicola Sturgeon in 2021, was ended abruptly, prompting Yousaf to call an emergency cabinet meeting. The termination has led to significant political turmoil, including a potential knife-edge no-confidence vote against Yousaf.
