Makes sense for men in grey kilts to back Swinney. He’s experienced, probably doesn’t want to do it long term, could try to calm things down & steer the ship through what will be a difficult general election. Allows other future candidates to properly think about what party needs

I wouldn't necessarily believe anything Salmond says but if this is true then he means that the "deal" was blocked by the people who know him best.

I understand that @neilcgray will not be throwing his hat in the @theSNP leadership ring and will be supporting @JohnSwinney if he stands.
Alba leader Alex Salmond tells #BBCWATO that the outgoing Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf was still trying to do a deal with his party at 0730 this morning - well after rumours of his resignation were circulating.
Classy response
What can we learn from this Scottish mess? Political management matters. Starmer continues his streak as a very lucky general.
We’ve lived through such a period of political instability at the very top of politics. This revolving door of leaders at Downing Street & Bute House is fun for us commentators but terrible for citizens & the country. How can any long term thinking happen amongst all this chaos?
Well he managed just over a year. That’s a decent innings these days.
At 39, Humza Yousaf will become the youngest ever ex-First Minister in UK history
⏰LIVE IN FIVE...
Again though, it’s not about who they vote with, it’s about expecting unconditional support after such a mishandled and abrupt ending of an agreement between the two parties…how else did anyone think this was going to go? Honestly baffling.
I’m back! (With less of my back)
Humza Yousaf will narrowly - and boy is it tight - avoid being Scotland's shortest serving First Minister Henry McLeish lasted 392 days before being forced out in 2001 Mr Yousaf will have lasted 398 if he resigns with immediate effect today.
John Swinney was just asked at a Resolution foundation event if he would like to be First Minister (Humza Yousaf is quitting): "It's a hypothetical question." "It's a very demanding role." "It takes a lot of thinking about". IT LOOKS TO BE ON.
Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf will give a news conference at 12pm this afternoon at Bute House For more on this and other news visit trib.al/Rx0iR33
Ah yes, it rained and @thameswater as usual empties the bowels of its sewage system into the nearest river.

What happens to Ben Houchen on Thursday could decide Rishi Sunak's future. So what are his voters thinking? @SamCoatesSky and me went to Hartlepool to find out: 1. They don't feel 'levelled-up'. This guy laughed out loud at the idea
@ayeshahazarika 😂😉 if it wasn't for the strange rules probably Stephen Flynn ( although I'm sure it could be worked round ) - certainly not one of the " men in grey kilts " . Kate Forbes , although competent , is a bit too far to the right and would prove to be devisive 🤷♂️
@ayeshahazarika Leading them into GE is a bit of a poisoned chalice so Forbes etc may side step a leadership election, Swinney perhaps has less to lose?
Yes, Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters are extremely cool, but Rick Astley is, IMHO, the coolest performer on the planet.
Rick Astley and the Foo Fighters performing Never Gonna Give You Up in the style of Smells Like Teen Spirit because Dave Grohl spotted Rick on the side of the stage since they were performing the same event and just pulled him in to do the song. Completely unrehearsed.
Ian Backford backs John Swinney to be the next SNP leader. Feels like the party's old guard are coalescing around him as Yousaf's successor, probably without a contest.
I understand that @neilcgray will not be throwing his hat in the @theSNP leadership ring and will be supporting @JohnSwinney if he stands.
@ayeshahazarika The common denominator in the chaos in the UK and Scotland is (populist) nationalism. The two waves of nationalism that led to SNP dominance and Brexit seem to have exhausted themselves and are collapsing under their internal contradictions and failures.
Acumen & Luck are the secret of success
What can we learn from this Scottish mess? Political management matters. Starmer continues his streak as a very lucky general.
@ayeshahazarika The equivalent of the hug at the end of a boxing match is an important part of the cut and thrust.
Alba leader Alex Salmond tells #BBCWATO that the outgoing Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf was still trying to do a deal with his party at 0730 this morning - well after rumours of his resignation were circulating.
@ayeshahazarika Does he do horse racing tips? 🤣
