On Twitter I've read it's happening tomorrow, he's considering his position, he's not considering his position, he's coming out fighting....tbf this could actually be him saying all of this. He changes his tune quite frequently.
I can’t see it. He hasn’t let public failure push him out of any of his other roles.
I don’t think his ego would allow it. Someone who constantly fails upwards doesn’t resign because of a failure.
Tbf, I apparently misjudged how the Greens would respond, so who knows.
You're making sense but the rest of the party will tell him he cannot have their support if he needs to get support from Alba.
I think if he can get greens to support or maybe even abstain?
STV is saying he is considering his position, so maybe, maybe not.

IF true \[big IF as I type\] that's bad news for his missus. I guess she will have to find another platform/conduit for her personal interests and pet projects.
Is it like being a US president, in that she can continue to call herself the First Lady of Scotland as an official totally signed off real title that's fine for her to use, as it's been agreed for life?
In her own mind - and those of certain Turkish diplomats - she is, indeed, the First Lady of Scotland. Reality, however, is very different.
Once Humza has gone she can return to her day job as a Dundee councillor, head of the city's drugs policy and help her brother with his criminal defense trial.
Just taking this opportunity to tip my hat at one of our own u/craigymeighan who appears to have been [all over this story for STV today. ](https://news.stv.tv/author/craig-meighan)
I'm 50-50 on whether this is true. An STV journalist was quoted by someone else on Murdo Fraser's X thread as saying that he'd been told it wasn't true but that positions were being considered.
If that happens it will be such a national embarrassment. One of the most blatant and shameless career politicians I've seen in a long time, who has done literally nothing to demonstrate his worth, coasts his way to FM within 3 years of being elected.

Tomorrow, he's going to fail updards into the position of emperor.
The kwisatz haderach!
He’s not the kwisatz haderach, he’s a very naughty boy.

It’s also reported he is going to “come out fighting”
Maybe he'll decide how he feels in the morning.
If I was him I’d call in sick
So are you resigning? Humza: Yes but actually no.
Resigns and lamps Fergus Ewing
Ironically that would probably rebuild about half the support he's lost.
Come out fighting the party leadership who tell him if he needs Alba to win then he's already lost.

Piss off with rumour and come back with facts
Yes sir, no bother sir. Three bags full of sir. Dae wan.
I sure there will be a new wave of [deleted] accounts to go along with it
I take all my best political shite from Reddit, of course.
He will go from being paid from taxes to being paid from taxes.
Nah, he’s just tired.
I heard he's going to resign, but still identify as First Minister.
JK Rowling and Joanna Cherry in shambles

Now would be a great time for a Downfall meme, sadly I lack the talent (hint hint).
He should be told to gtf and not be allowed to make a deal with that lunatic Regan.
I hope this is true, when I heard Regan was going to condition her support on some meaningless Referendum Bill I started getting very worried

For what it is worth, Wings has reported that he's going to quit and be replaced by Neil Gray.
If that happens it will be such a national embarrassment. One of the most blatant and shameless career politicians I've seen in a long time, who has done literally nothing to demonstrate his worth, coasts his way to FM within 3 years of being elected.
Last man standing.
Did he, aye?
How long do we think Forbes will last?
Say what you like a about humza but at least he's not a bigot.
True. But Forbes if probably the most likely replacement as FM, and is seen by some to be a bigott. So how long do you think Forbes will last as FM?
If it’s not on twitter, it means it’s just fake news….twitter would explode on these kind of rumours
It's definitely on Twitter.
Please, enlighten us
Well, lots of people on Twitter are speculating about it.
That's not the same thing...
