Scottish Greens co-leaders arrived at and left Bute House before SNP leader Humza Yousaf held an emergency cabinet meeting and the so-called Bute House Agreement underpinning the government's coalition ended on Thursday, 25 April.

Lorna Slater and Patrick Harvie did not respond to any questions as they left the first minister's official residence in Edinburgh.

It comes after the Greens were angered when the Scottish Net Zero Secretary Mairi McAllan announced last week the Scottish government was to ditch a key climate change target.
