Humza Yousaf wins the SNP leadership contest, so what next for the party? The team react to the result of the SNP leadership contest, which saw Health Secretary Humza Yousaf beat out Kate Forbes in the second round of voting, after Ash Regan was eliminated in the first round, pipping her to the post with 52.1% of the votes versus Forbes' 47.9%. As the Bute House Agreement with the Scottish Greens looks to continue, it seems Yousaf's path to First Minister is clear, but with the vote so close, can he now heal a divided party? The team look ahead to the next steps Yousaf may take, how his cabinet may shape up, and what his victory means for the SNP and Scotland.
