In an interview with Times Radio, Salmond also said that Ash Regan, the former SNP MSP who is now the only Alba member in the Scottish parliament, will be the swing vote in the no confidence debate on Yousaf.

And I’m sure Ash Regan, who I spoke to just five minutes ago, will use that power very wisely indeed to progress the cause of independence and to protect the rights of women and to try and find a way to restore confidence within the Scottish government, which has been so badly lacking recently.
