It remains to be seen how much damage it does to independence which no-one realistically expects anyway in the near to medium term. The SNP are a party of devolution as long as it elects them as there’s no credible reason to prioritise the gender reforms they have other than to scuttle the ship.

The big tent (reference intended) was bound to fail eventually and a civil war is inevitable.

What makes me think Yousaf might cling on is the absence of an obvious continuity Sturgeon candidate. That could buy time until the next budget, which will be around the UK General Election which many think would finish him anyway.

Would the next SNP leader want to kick off against a backdrop of campervans and iPads? Probably not.

EDIT:

Scottish Labour will table a proper vote of no confidence in the Scottish Government later today.
