No matter how many contortions he performed during his unedifying bid to cling on to power, Humza Yo
No matter how many contortions he performed during his unedifying bid to cling on to power, Humza Yousaf's resignation as Scotland's First Minister was inevitable.
A proponent of the SNP's ugly tactic of demonising political opponents, his belated attempt to build bridges at Holyrood to avoid losing a vote of no confidence unsurprisingly failed.
Rather than suffer defeat, Mr Yousaf quit with a characteristically charmless speech. But one thing he said couldn't be faulted. This was the 'right decision' for Scotland. It is for the United Kingdom, too.
Not only does it signal the beginning of the end for the SNP's 17 years of misrule, it also dashes any hopes of Scottish separatism for a generation.
If the Nationalists can't even run a devolved government competently, how could they be trusted with an independent country?

This time, the SNP cannot lay the blame for their troubles on the evil Tories or Westminster establishment. The ghastly soap opera is entirely of their own making.
Ordinary Scots want fairer taxes, a decent education for their children and a functioning NHS to look after their health.
But under the woke authoritarianism of the SNP and their ex-coalition partners, the Scottish Greens, they got divisive trans policies, unattainable and unaffordable climate change goals and absurd hate laws. They deserve less clueless leadership.
With the SNP unravelling, Labour has more chance of winning seats in Scotland in the general election. That would make Sir Keir Starmer's path to No10 easier.
This is troubling because he is more likely to hand new powers to Scotland – worsening the disastrous experiment with devolution.
And when it comes to the lunacies of wokery, you could barely fit a cigarette paper between the views of Starmer and the SNP.
What a jolly jape it seemed at the time.
In a bid to sabotage Brexit, Dublin and the EU remorselessly insisted on an open border on the island of Ireland.
Then, last month, they chortled as the Irish High Court ruled the UK was not a safe place to remove migrants to because they could be sent to Rwanda.
Today, the smirk has dropped off the face of those smug political elites.
Rishi Sunak is right to refuse to take the migrants back. The PM should only agree if France lets us return every migrant who arrives in a small boat

Illegal Channel migrants are flowing into the Republic across the unguarded border with Northern Ireland in huge numbers to avoid being given a one-way ticket to Africa.
With delicious irony, Ireland is now shrieking that Britain take them back. So we are a safe country after all!
Rishi Sunak is right to refuse. The PM should only agree if France lets us return every migrant who arrives in a small boat.
By doing so, French president Emmanuel Macron could end this lethal trade in a heartbeat. In the meantime, Ireland finds itself well and truly hoist by its own petard.
The news that the numbers claiming benefits for anxiety and mild depression has doubled in five years is deeply troubling.
Yes, some will suffer serious mental health issues. But there is an obvious danger we are medicalising the inevitable misfortunes and disappointments life throws at us.
So ministers are right to consider overhauling disability allowances, with some people being offered treatment and therapy instead of cash handouts.
The aim is to encourage them back to work. After all, a fulfilling job may be exactly the medicine they need.
