but you know, both alex salmond and nicola sturgeon were very charismatic. the snp absolutely ripped through scotland, you know, put the labour party into absolutely nothing. they've been in power for the best part of 20 years. they've run out of steam. they're not in a position to lead. other than as a minority government. so they've either got to do a deal or keep going on this sort of, supply and demand thing, which is not a way to run a stable country. it's great news for keir starmer because, you know, just as labour used to take the votes for scotland and they'd weigh them, the snp took that away from them. and now the tables have probably turned back, i think, you know, probably lib dems as well will be feeling some hope and possibly the conservatives in scotland, who knows. i mean, there are weirder things that have happened, but i think he was stuck. he'd got a poisoned chalice and they've run out of steam, anyone out there going to miss him, i think he certainly regrets. isn't he saying that, ash? regan? what did he say she was? it was not such a b

sturgeon, the first minister at the time, said they were the most stretching targets in the world. she said that hers was the first government on the planet to declare a climate emergency. but climate experts say that the emergency response never came. for the greens, cutting emissions is one of their main objectives. it is a key policy area. so this is seen as a huge failure for them. today, the co—leader of the scottish greens accuse the snp of selling out future generations. she also said that humza yousaf can no longer be trusted. so it appears that it had become impossible for the two parties to continue working together. so what happens next? the snp leader will now form a minority government until the next scottish parliament elections in 2026. live to glasgow and let's talk to political comentator brian taylor, who was the bbc�*s former political editor at bbc scotland. thank you forjoining us. i wondered if i could get your reaction, having covered the scottish politics for many decades, due today's events. fix, many decades, due today's events. remarkable set of even
