The power-sharing agreement between the Scottish National Party and the Scottish Green Party ended abruptly on Thursday, marking a fresh period of turmoil for the S.N.P.
The Scottish Green Party will join with rival MSPs to back a no-confidence motion in First Minister Humza Yousaf next week, after the SNP kicked its coalition partners out of government.
Humza Yousaf joked about a "breakup" with the Greens after he ended the so-called Bute House Agreement underpinning the Scottish government coalition on Thursday, 25 April.
Mr Yousaf sacked Green co-leaders Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater from junior ministerial roles after a week of furious infighting between and within both parties.
Patrick Harvie has accused Humza Yousaf of pandering to the right wing of the SNP as he suggested the Scottish Government may not last until Christmas.
Scottish Greens co-leaders arrived at and left Bute House before SNP leader Humza Yousaf held an emergency cabinet meeting and the so-called Bute House Agreement underpinning the government's coalition ended on Thursday, 25 April.
