There is only a slim prospect of an extraordinary Holyrood election being called (and there would still be another one in 2026) as what's been tabled by the Scottish Tories is only a VONC in the First Minister NOT in the Scottish Government itself.

That said, it's likely that Yousaf will go next week and they'll be another SNP leadership election if he can't get the Alba MSP onside to vote for him.
