The First Minister defended his party's coalition deal with the Greens after a flagship recycling scheme was delayed again.
Humza Yousaf has claimed the Scottish Government is performing "quite well" despite the SNP dealing with a high-profile police investigation into its finances.
His government has already delayed the introduction of the deposit return scheme until next year after repeated warnings it could devastate small businesses. The SNP then plunged into chaos when police arrested Peter Murrell, the party's former chief executive, on April 6 in connection with Operation Branchform.
Colin Beattie, a serving MSP and the SNP party treasurer, was also arrested last month and questioned before being released without charge."Frankly, I couldn’t quite believe the news," he told Holyrood magazine.
