- Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride says it is up to Humza Yousaf whether he resigns as Scotland's First Minister.
Sources have told Sky News Mr Yousaf could quit as early as Monday after he ditched his alliance with the Greens.
Mr Stride told Sky News the SNP had got themselves in an "extraordinary mess" and the party's "obsession" with independence had led to "very poor outcomes" for voters.

The absolute state of a Tory MP complaining about another party's record in government. Hypocrisy is seeping from his pores.
The absolute state of the people deflecting from the real issue.
Which is?@@SWINDYPANTS90
Forgive me but I understood that we were talking about Scotland
The snp blame the tories for everything.
@@oldskoolordie The Tories run the UK.
Could someone remind me when the SNP was last obsessed with Independence, the last five or six years seem to have been all about virtue signalling and gender identity
Pretty much every day since the last vote mate. Open your eyes and ears.
That's the greens impact, greens should never have been allowed anywhere near authority.
Every time an SNP member speaks, they talk about independence. It's quite sad actually.
Humza poised to resign, and the unsavoury Green party sidelined.
Great success!
A huge opportunity lost by the Cult. They have had 17 years to prove themselves worthy of our confidence but have blown it totally. Obsessed on one issue and one issue alone and we now see what we see on the back of this horrendous strategy. Meantime we in Scotland have to live with the consequences of this.
Sturgeon. Up to 2014, things were rock solid under Salmond. Sturgeon took over, entered the culture wars, invited the greens into government, failed to tackle any major issues during her tenure (yes Covid was bad, but what about eduction, health, economy, housing??!)
The SNP was always a big tent party, Independence united the members and it was always a case of "what unites us is stronger than what divides us", by focusing on the gender/culture wars, Sturgeon created that divide in the party. Had she remained focused on key issues, the SNP would still be in a very strong position.
I think the woke arm of the party have the party in a headlock, and I think that is going to drive them out of government. They cannot get out of their own way.
Shame the 'Queen of Scotland ' got caught with her fingers in the till. The basic problem with Scotland and England is........politicians.
Spot on. Politicians cannot help themselves losing sight of what they actually should be doing. @@stewartlawrence3042
Cults are small. Like the Scottish Conservatives.
@@julianshepherd2038Krankie is tiny 😂
Independence is the only way forward 🏴
This Tory MP should be on the Comedy Channel
I think the SNP 's LACK of obsession with independence is whats gone wrong.
I think they realised there is no economic case for an independent Scotland that didn't involve tax increases and cuts to public services.
No lol. There is a reason I'm sick of hearing about it, and it's because they bang on about it constantly. Also independence is a terrible idea for a country as small, weak, and poor as scotland. And no, they can't have the north sea oil. No, they can't print GBP.
@@yehldyehld😂🤡
The grand irony of the SNP is that their whole existence revolves around independence, which most Scots don’t even want, and even then the SNP are completely incapable of delivering it. Not only that but they’ve not done the day job either, choosing gender identity over schools, hospitals and governance. So they cannot deliver independence or anything else. They don’t have a majority in parliament and have an unelected incompetent leader. That’s an extraordinary disservice to the Scottish electorate.
I have always hated the snp but I still want independence and it's funny that two English talking about our independence like they have a say in it🏴🏴🏴
It’s never going to happen.
Indy is dead 😂
Tory needs to check the mess in his undies 🤔
The snp talk some utter crap and fail everything they touch
How mature!
Maturing since 2010. Sell by date 2024🤔
@@rb1062 fact actually ..fail everything .drugs nhd education ferries police investigation etc member s numberscway down its over best thing fir Scotland will be the snp voted out ASAP !!!!
They've spent more on Camper vans and Gaza than public services in Scotland 🤮
Showing their ignorance here, snp purpose is independence ffs ! It’s not an obsession it’s their reason for being a political party for goodness sake !
Tories don’t have any successes .
We've heard more about identity politics from them than independence, lately.
They haven't (recently) been obsessed with independence, I think that's partly the point. They've been wrapped up in "gender reform" and "hate speech" laws - which isn't a priority for the majority of Scotland!
I didn't vote at all, yet SNP kept on winning over the years, and it started to become very boring
Good to hear english men talk about scotland very refreshing
It’s not an obsession,it’s a party striving for the best for Scotland…the majority of voters have given that right to the SNP..
I cannot imagine my country and the mess it would be in right now if we were independent. It doesn’t bear thinking about
Independent Scotland is better for the people of Scotland. Be part of European union is like opening up to 100 times bigger economic opportunities. Scotland will be 5 times bigger economy than Republic of Ireland as Independent. I'm still baffled why people of Scotland unable to see that?
Yes let's look at the spending in the uk including the corruption during covid, an how deluded the tory boy is how many ppl on the nhs waiting list compared to 2019 and 2010.
How much is gone on to national debt since 2010...12 years of austerity how is this helped the uk economy...
Why does Little England have an obsession with what Scotland does all they are doing is making the case for independence stronger
Independence in the eu?
Behave! 😂
The independence fantasy is dead.
@@RemoanersRtossers All countries in the EU are sovereign. The UK didn't have to beg Brussels to leave.
No nations in the UK are sovereign, England just took Scotland to court to deny us a referendum, that the majority of Scottish voters voted to have, in 2021.
@@Bungle-UK Support for the union is at 47%. It's never been lower. A drop from 55% in 2014. Every age group under 55y support independence. 16-35 year olds support independence by three to one. And only one in five Scots, according to the last census, identify as British. Tick tock.
@@OneTrueScotsman
Don't be silly mate!
No nation can be sovereign when eu law has supremacy over national law.
The Tory government in Westminster has led to even worse outcomes in England. In fact, outcomes in England could not get any worse.
Welcome back Scotland........we love you🇬🇧
Feck Enerlumd
🤡
Not mutual
independence, Is normal
These sort of articles just open the door to those that want to post "jock bait'
I still find it amusing that the situation is so bad even Alex Salmond offered to assist Yamas Yousless and his team. Then again, I suppose Salmond and his wandering hands on woman will find it a challenge trying to get under a Burka.
Have to say, I'm finding this hilarious 😅
People in glass houses should not throw stones😂
The SNPs obsession with pettifogging, woke politics and incompetent management of Scotlands infrastructure, services and economy, has been its downfall not its obsession with independence.
Mel Stride to call anyone a mess is breathtaking hypocrisy
SNP "Obsession" with Independence has led to "very poor outcomes" Not really, the SNP are the devolved Scottish government because they have been elected by the Scottish people, worsening public services in Scotland are due to Westminster retaining the purse strings controlled by a conservative government who have continually cut funding to all parts of the UK. Public services in Scotland are still far better than public services in England.
Worst mess in Scotland's History
The Darien scheme was a bit of a mess as well, wasn't it? England had to bail them out when they were just about bankrupt. History repeating?
Don’t forget the reason Scotland had to join Britain 300 years ago. They were bankrupt. They will never be bankrupt again as long as Westminster gifts Scotland 30% per head more than in England. This must stop.
Look at the state of your country, before commenting on mine. UK's in a bigger mess than Scotland. Maybe the UK should be governed by a larger country? if that's the argument that British Nationalists make about Scotland. Then it applies to the UK too.
@@OneTrueScotsman i am not from the UK
I am 100% Scots but thankfully live just south of the border now. It saddens me and my Scots relatives to see Scotland self destruct so badly.
Obsessed with independence?Its an independence party, doesn't he know?
Clickbait headline. The SNP are not “obsessed” with independence. They are a political party that has independence in its manifesto, and that has proved attractive to the extent that they have displaced Labour and Conservative in Scotland for the last decade. Pollling for independence (which is not predicated on the competence of the SNP) remains about 50%.
I’m actually pleased that the SNP spends more on public services than down South. This guy seems to think it’s a bad thing 🙄
Well, they had their chance and lost. Tough. Such referenda are once in a generation.
@@ManForTodayI don't think we appreciate that attitude. We're allowed our own views.
@@JonoPS
The majority of Scots who want to remain in the UK "appreciate that attitude"
I agree completely. Imo, Humza has not pushed the Indy agenda enough and that didn't go in his favour. But, they do so much good for the people it puts even more shame on the Tory muppets. Listen to it now attacking those with disabilities under the guise of helping mental health!! Just having to listen to this cabal affects my mental health. GO AWAY!!!
Unlike the Torrie's, Obsession with Brexit, Pot calling Kettle Black, again again again
The Brexit vote won, Scottish independence vote lost. It’s simple really, but then so are the SNP.
@@deedoubleyatrainingthat was 10 years ago, Scotland has since been dragged out of the eu against its will,
Says DWP's Stride the fella who wants to get the sick and disabled back to work and Doctors sick notes will not count anymore.
What does your sick note say?
But What about the covid 19 MEDICAL MURDERS! ⚰💉⚰👹?
Absolute nonsense. But what would a born and bred London politician know about Scotland?
Scotland will never reach its potential, or be able to tackle all the problems society has to manage, whilst its chained to a country where 92% of the lawmakers, and other decision makers, are non-Scots.
I mean, look at the state of the UK economy itself. Public services in England are abysmal. The national debt is 105% of its GDP. The trade agreements it has today are a pittance compared to what it gave up in 2016. Many of its school buildings are literally unsafe and at risk of collapse.
If we're to follow the logic of the argument leveraged at Scotland, then England should be governed by a much larger nation's government. Maybe Beijing, Washington or Moscow? Because it can't manage it by itself.
I think the SNP-led laws and decisions are the problem - for Scotland.
@@googoogjoobgoogoogjoob Maybe they are. But that's like arguing that the UK shouldn't be sovereign because Labou suck, or the Tories suck. Also, the Scottish government is kneecapped by the UK government, who controls our budget, armed forces, drugs policies, migration, trade and other laws. For Scotland to prosper, the Scofs have to be in charge of the country. We aren't, the UK (by and large English), are. And they never should have been.
Absolute nonsense...Scotland is in way better shape than anywhere else in the UK despite being shackled to brexit.
they come from the EU and they are returning to the EU, why would the UK stop them? Is the EU unsafe?
The tory obssesion with brexit has led to poor outcomes
SNP head is ridiculous.
Those lovely 5 star migrant hotels don't pay for themselves.
Independence is an awful idea
It really is.
Removing ourselves from the bank of England and the pound.
Financial insecurity.
Joining the EU.
Mass immigration.
How is that going to work?
@@oldskoolordie joining the EU is not even a given. I'd like Britain to rejoin the single market, and hopefully certain Scots will become less radical
Even after big splash Penny Mordaunt replaces "pint-sized loser" Ritchie Sunak, the Tories face extinction at the general election.
I would say humza has beocome a liability to S.N.P...
Not "white" for the job!😅
Let's hear an objective view from a political opponent of the SNP but with no one from the SNP to balance the debate. Classic gutter one sided journalism from the Sky News.
Anybody but tories
Wth kinda title is that.
Utter hypocrisy by these arrogant Tories
Utter blindness from the SNP ideologues.
Let’s not forget, the SNP were voted in for all these years through pure HATRED of the English and Westminster. Is that not a crime?
Deluded 😂
The SNP & Tory circus 🎪🤡 continues 😂
Scotland & Scots do not want Humza or the present form of SNP. Yes a SNP but within the UK & be willing to work with some of the English Governent policies where there is common ground. Not an SNP tied to EU or worse Gazza which we now had under that Humza.
The EU is more popular in Scotland than the UK.
Scots don't want to be in the UK. The Tory government are blocking a referendum on independence, which Scotland has democratically voted to hold, twice, since Brexit.
No such thing as an English Government
The EU is a joke, it's mass immigration. Look at Ireland
@@oldskoolordieWhat about Ireland? Maybe actually get out of your media bubble and see Ireland for what it is.
Everyone has been told to vote Labour again?!
Rubbish
End devolution!!!
@@iberian5319independence is dead….not that it was ever alive 😂
Another English voice poking his nose in.
Oh god, this is exactly what I need on a Monday morning 😑
No one cares
U forcing the politicians BBC aswell to make blind decisions on assisted dying i actually hav a lot to say about it. I often say well my own death is not the solutions to my problems.
Bye bye to the independence fantasy.
It’s not an obsession. It’s a right. Stop making Scottish independence out to be some kind of slur. Scotland is miles ahead of England . At least they’re not in Isreal and the US’s lap
independence from EU has led to very poor outcomes. #Brexit .. ya tory 🤡🤡
