Humza Yousaf has cancelled a planned speech as he battles for political survival, with SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn saying the First Minister will “come out fighting”.

Mr Yousaf was due to speak about the labour strategy in an independent Scotland at Strathclyde University on Friday.

But a source close to the First Minister confirmed the event has been cancelled.

Mr Yousaf is battling to save his position as First Minister after his former allies in the Scottish Greens vowed to vote against him in a motion of no confidence.

That came after the SNP leader dramatically brought the powersharing deal with the Greens to an end on Thursday, and he now faces a backlash which could cost him his job.
