It was "absurd" of Fergus Ewing to describe the Scottish Greens as extremists, SNP depute leader Keith Brown has said. Former Scottish Government minister Ewing had said that SNP members should be given the chance to vote again on the party’s deal with the Scottish Greens.
The Bute House Agreement was signed under Nicola Sturgeon and brought Green co-leaders Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater into Government as junior ministers as well as setting out a shared policy platform.
But Ewing said members should be given their say because it is now clear that the Greens are "extremists". Brown rejected his allegation, saying the SNP would not be in coalition with an extremist party.
Brown told BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme: "That is an absurd characterisation of the Scottish Greens. We wouldn't, as the SNP, be in coalition with extremists of any kind. And I think it's been a very positive relationship.

Brown was removed from his role as Justice Secretary in March in First Minister Humza Yousaf’s Cabinet reshuffle. He had held Scottish Government positions since 2009.
Brown said he would support a debate on the Bute House Agreement at the party’s upcoming conference but added he still backs the deal.
He said: “If that’s the case and people want to have that discussion, then if that gets on to the agenda then of course I would support that debate, but that is a process that has to be gone through.
“My own personal view is that we had a very comprehensive vote in favour of that Bute House
