At the moment, the only route to solving that is to use the private Sector Innovation , the private Sector Innovation, the stuff they demonstrated they could deliver when we privatised them, when they doubled passenger numbers.

Right, kerry dingle , good evening to both of dingle, good evening to both of you, i was just about to say were all wearing our glasses with pride tonight. Were just taking yours off. Mark yeah. Ruined it for me. Im sorry about that. Were about to be. You want me to put them back on . Were about to be the role models for the, for those folk with bad eyesight. But youve ruined it.

As i said, your views are very, very welcome tonight, but of course, never a dull day when it comes to politics. And its all going on over in scotland. Long, long story short, the government there is pretty much imploded. There is pretty much imploded. Lets not waste any more time. Lets not waste any more time. Lets cross live to scotland , to lets cross live to scotland, to talk to our scottish reporter tony maguire. Good evening. The tony maguire. Good evening. The suns looks very nice where you are. Its certainly not that sunny here, i can tell you, but, anyway, for anyone thats not been following the twists and turns of today, can you bring us up to speed . Up to speed . Sure thing. Michelle. I mean, how long do you have really . How long do you have really . Thats the key question here. Everything really kicked off around half eight this morning when an emergency Cabinet Meeting led to the end of the bute house agreement that has beenin bute house agreement that has been in place since 2021. And its essentially a Coalition Government between the scottish greens and the Scottish National party. Well, that came to an end party. Well, that came to an end this morning in what many people are saying is has very much a kind of energy of what im going to dump you before you dump me, because certainly the scottish greens, well, they were already in talks as to whether this agreement would come to the end. But nevertheless, the snp marched into this afternoon with a minority government and then at qus , where the opposition at qus, where the opposition parties get to pose their burning questions to the first minister. Of course, there was only one topic on the agenda today, and that essentially was headuned today, and that essentially was headlined by douglas ross, the scottish conservative leader, calling a vote of no confidence, and humza yousaf. Well, that seemed to come as a bit of a shock for the first minister, and certainly with 31 msps, the scottish conservatives have the votes to make sure that that goes through as a vote in parliament next week. Then over the course of this afternoon , the course of this afternoon, weve seen the other parties come out. Weve seen the scottish liberal democrats say that they too have lost faith in humza yousaf and of scottish laboun humza yousaf and of scottish labour. Anas sarwar making a video saying scottish labour will likely be voting with the scottish conservatives and this vote of no confidence. So who does that leave us with . Well, the scottish greens, who within the scottish greens, who within the last hour held a press conference here at holyrood to say that there are formal stablemates. Well, theyre going to be voting with the conservatives because they have lost faith in humza yousaf. That leaves one one msp, with the 64 msps voting with no confidence for the first minister. And that one msp is ash regan, former snp minister herself. She stepped down during the gender recognition reform debate and now she was essentially going to be the kingmaker in this scenario. So a lot happening here, and hopefully just came in under time. Yeah, honestly couldnt , make yeah, honestly couldnt, make some of this stuff up, could you . But no, youre very good. Your timing was spot on. Thats tony mcguire. Ill leave you to go. Enjoy the last rays of the sunshine. I mean, i thought it was quite interesting there where he said, humza yousaf was very surprised when he heard about this. No confidence vote. I dont know who he talks to, but i talk to people on a daily bafis but i talk to people on a daily basis and i absolutely was not surprised when i heard that. I was actually quite surprised that it hadnt happened sooner. And that whole kind of diet, the whole kind of, dynamic about who actually wanted to break up with who. What do you thinks been who. What do you thinks been going on here . Well, look , in my going on here . Well, look, in my view, the Scottish National party in part, but only in parts because they were with the green party, had a completely crazy environmental policy which has now crashed against reality. And they have had to drop that policy wisely. They should never have embarked on that in the first place. They wanted to cut the Carbon Emissions by 75 by 2030, and they said that theyre not going to meet last week. They said that theyre not going to meet, that theyre not going to meet, that theyre not going to meet, that they cant possibly meet it, this has riled the scottish greens, who have therefore pulled out of the government. Fair enough. The Scottish Green Party is there to believe in these sort of fantasies. So theyre out now. It goes to the theyre out now. It goes to the maths, which tony mcguire explained pretty well that if you were to add together the snp and this one mp from the alba party , Alex Salmonds breakaway, party, Alex Salmonds breakaway, its 6464. However, i think i wouldnt be surprised if some of the snp msps themselves want to get rid of yousaf as well. So i suspect as a gambling man hes out next week one way or another. Now that doesnt mean like we have in the Uk Parliament. Its not like a vote of confidence in the Uk Parliament in westminster that does not trigger an election here in the westminster parliament. If you vote against the government and they lose your confidence, thats it. General election immediately happens. No, no, no, therell be 28 days to try and form a new government and only if that fails will there be new holyrood elections. So i suspect , fails will there be new holyrood elections. So i suspect, and my guess would be yousaf will probably go. The best he can probably go. The best he can hope for is a draw, with the presiding officer then voting for him. More likely he goes and then the snp need to work out how on earth they can put together a governing coalition again. Just quickly before i bring kerry in. I mean, even if he loses this vote next week, its not technically binding. So not technically binding. So i guess technically speaking, he could turn around and say , okay, could turn around and say, okay, you lot dont want me, but i believe in myself and im going to persevere. Do you think . To persevere. Do you think . Is that right . Is it not your constitutional knowledge is better than mine. I think if he loses a vote of confidence, hes got to go. I thought that was the rule. Oh, it would certainly be force majeure. I shall get someone to check that. But i didnt think he had to go. Actually, whats mad here is the vote is about confidence in the vote is about confidence in the first minister. It should be about the Scottish Government as about the Scottish Government as a whole. So you either take down that entire government. This that entire government. This would be crazy. It would be mad in westminster to have a motion on rishi sunak as Prime Minister youve either got to take down the government or support the government. Theres never a dull government. Theres never a dull moment written here. Well, were already confused about them. Right, michelle . There is never a dull moment. And yeah, confusion strikes. I shall get clarity. Worry not, kerry, your thoughts on it all . Well, i just say good riddance to a coalition of cranks. Really . I think theyve behaved so autocratically, you know, so rigged. Gardless of the know, so rigged. Gardless of the interests of scottish citizens. Hang on. Because. Yeah, because i was gonna say people might be sitting at home going, what does that word mean . What do you mean . An autocrat is someone who acts as a small concentration of power regardless of everyone elses interests. Thats the sort of nub of autocracy, and i think thats what theyve been like as a sort of small group of technocratic politicians and Civil Servants supported by ngos. And, as mark said, horrific on the green politics, which it wasnt just the greens, it was the snp and supported by labourin it was the snp and supported by labour in terms of screwing up oil and gas. Labour in terms of screwing up oil and gas. In scotland, weve had the gender recognition act. Had the gender recognition act. Nobody voted in anybody to support that. And then a trans support that. And then a trans rapist in a womens prison. Weve had the scottish hate crime bill criminalising people for what they might say over, over dinner when theyve had a few shocking and so authoritarian. I just wish that authoritarian. I just wish that this did trigger an election, and im not sure it will, but i think what the snp have done in terms of dumping their Green Association is desperately know and try and claw back a little bit of scottish support because i think they know that people are had have had enough. Yeah i was going to say i talked to you guys, every day and i listened to what you have to say and i wont repeat some of the, criticisms that, humza comes into, from some of you , but into, from some of you, but theyre not very polite. So im on im on a mission today, and im going to look right now as im speaking to you. Is anybody out there rooting for him . Because one of the things that hes actually arguing at the snp are very fragmented at the moment, arent they, and theyre very kind of disjointed. Hes saying, if you believe this anyway, that actually he made this decision , actually he made this decision, about this coalition because hes putting his parties interests first. He thinks that this will be almost like a rallying cry to strengthen the snp. Is there anyone out there snp. Is there anyone out there watching in and around scotland that agrees with that sentiment or not . Do you agree with that sentiment, that actually something that could come out of this is a much more united snp . No, because i think the problem was this. I completely agree with what kerry was just saying. Look, youve got to understand the snp basically exists for one key purpose, which is to split scotland from the United Kingdom , and they the United Kingdom, and they have failed in that endeavour and therefore they have gone down a million different bizarre rabbit holes like the gender recognition act, bizarre Climate Policy and the rest of it, the rough equivalent for us in england would be, i dont know if the brexit party or ukip had won an election outright, but couldnt get britain out of the European Union and then started to pursue other strange policies. And thats exactly what the snps done. So if the snp cant trigger a second referendum or the departure of scotland from the United Kingdom, whats it for and what is it turned out to be for is a whole bizarre range of very woke policies and an underlyi
