Episode notes

Scotland's First Minister is facing a confidence vote after he pulled the plug this morning on his coalition government by ejecting the two Green party members of his cabinet.

Humza Yousaf is making the case for a fresh start - unburdened by culture wars issues and climate change issues pulling the SNP in a direction it's no longer prepared to go in. But the Conservatives in Scotland smell blood.

Can they bring the whole government crashing down with their vote?

Later, Mick Lynch on the Labour plan for railways and what he makes of Angela Raynor's housing issue.

And we bring you the snap results - from JL Partners - of which way GB News viewers are voting. It's quite the poll.
