The Scottish Greens will hold an internal party vote on the Bute House deal later this month after a growing row

However, the Prime Minister has been urged to take control of the growing unrest by ending the deal first.

A number of SNP MPs have said the deal, signed by Nicola Sturgeon in 2021, should end with long-serving SNP politician Christine Grahame the latest senior official to call for the move.

“I think it has run its course,” Ms Grahame told ITV Border on Wednesday afternoon speaking from Holyrood.

“I have been here when we had a minority government and I think there is such a difference between what the Greens and the SNP are looking for.

Asked if she wanted the Prime Minister to leave the BHA, she replied: “Whoever does, I’d rather it be us.”

Former finance secretary Kate Forbes has also said the deal should be reviewed as has SNP veteran Fergus Ewing.

More than 100 Greens activists demanded an extraordinary general meeting last week after the Scottish Government dropped its landmark climate change target of cutting carbon emissions by 75% by 2030.

There was also unrest among SNP MSPs over Greens co-convener Patrick Harvie’s comments on the Cass report on gender identity services for young people.
