John Swinney took over at Bute House following Humza Yousaf’s botched handling of the decision to kick the Greens out of Government.

Axing the Greens has resulted in Swinney leading a minority Government with no guarantee of winning votes at Holyrood. He immediately called for greater cross-party cooperation and urged political rivals to work together.
