The coverage of the scotland situation is interesting. SNP understandably is centre stage, and the greens getting a fair mention too. Scottish tories getting some coverage as well because they are the ones pushing the no confidence vote, and now Alba getting front and centre as their one MSP could have the decisive vote.
So far, I haven't seen a single mention of Labour, nothing whatsoever. Given the likelihood that labour are going to not just win, but potentially landslide the upcoming general election, I would have expected them to see this as a golden opportunity to stick the knife in the SNP and start taking their support in the scottish parliament too, but, at least from here in the southern part of UK, all we get is silence.
Curious to know if things are different in scotland itself, and we are just being fed a typically skewed view down here.

Labour have tabled a motion of no confidence in the whole government.

Potentially a lot more damaging to the SNP than the Tories no confidence motion just in Humza.

Skip to 3:18 for a proper LOL moment from the reporter.

Well, that was predictable.
