Concerns Rise Over US Tariffs Ahead of First Minister's Questions

Ahead of First Minister's Questions (FMQs), significant political tensions are rising, particularly with the resignation of Conservative Jamie Greene, who criticized party leader Russell Findlay's agenda. This resignation may lead to pointed discussions during the FMQs, especially as opposition leader Jackie Baillie steps in for Anas Sarwar, who is currently in the United States. Meanwhile, the threat of potential U.S. tariffs on UK goods looms, a concern that both the SNP and Labour appear to approach similarly. Additionally, some members of the SNP are questioning Sarwar's absence, despite confidence in Baillie's capability to engage effectively. The day’s proceedings are expected to highlight these tensions and could provide a platform for broader discussions on economic strategies. Overall, the political landscape is tense as various parties prepare to navigate these emerging challenges.
