Scotland's first minister to cancel event as he fights for his future

Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf is to cancel a speech he was due to deliver on independence in Glasgow this lunchtime, Sky News understands.

Sources had said Mr Yousaf would "come out fighting" after his former allies the Scottish Greens said they would join the other opposition parties in a vote of no confidence next week.

The crisis was triggered after Mr Yousaf dramatically brought the powersharing deal with the Greens to an end on Thursday, following tensions over the SNP's climbdown on climate targets and the decision to pause the prescription of new puberty blockers at Scotland's only gender clinic.

Without the agreement, the SNP will have to operate as a minority administration at Holyrood.
