As we've been reporting the SNP has scrapped the Bute House agreement, external which was its power sharing deal with the Greens.
The Scottish government and the Scottish Green Party had agreed to work together "to build a green economic recovery from COVID, respond to the climate emergency and create a fairer country".
This was called the Bute House Agreement, named after the first minister's official residence in Edinburgh and it was signed in August 2021.
It focused on areas of mutual interest and was intended to create a "stable platform to meet the challenges Scotland faces".
It pledged collaboration on the climate emergency, economic recovery, child poverty, the natural environment, energy and the constitution.
