Humza Yousaf says disciplinary case against SNP rebel is ongoing
04.09.2023 - 03:47 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Humza Yousaf has said disciplinary proceedings against a rebel SNP MSP who voted to sack a Government Minister are ongoing.
The First Minister said Fergus Ewing’s behaviour was “serious” and insisted the Holyrood group would meet to discuss his future.
Ewing, a former Cabinet Secretary, could lose the whip after backing a Tory motion of no confidence in Green MSP Lorna Slater.
He has blasted Slater’s handling of the troubled deposit return scheme and derided the Greens as “wine bar revolutionaries”.
He also ripped up a Government plan on fisheries in the chamber in full public view.
But it was his decision to side with the Tories over Slater that infuriated his SNP colleagues.
He was expected to be sanctioned, but the death of his mother Winnie is said to have paused any action.
Speaking to the Record, the First Minister said: “It was a very serious matter indeed. And there was, I think, understandable reasons why the group chose not to deal with internal party discipline matters at the end of the parliamentary term, but clearly the group may want to pick those matters up when they return.
He added: “There's not been a resolution to that issue. Voting against a government minister on a vote of confidence and voting with the Conservatives in that regard is a serious matter. So, the group will meet to discuss that and it's an internal matter which I don't intend to comment [on] anymore.”
The war of words between Ewing and the Greens intensified when party co-leader Patrick Harvie took aim at the MSP for Inverness and Nairn.
Harvie suggested Ewing was not “bright” or “articulate” and said: "He represents a generation that simply hasn’t moved on and come to terms with the reality of what the climate emergency requires of us all
