After a torrid week which saw rival parties call a no confidence vote in his leadership and then a no confidence motion in the Scottish Government, Humza Yousaf has announced his resignation as First Minister of Scotland and SNP leader.
Mr Yousaf confirmed his resignation during a press conference at Bute House at noon on Monday.
