Humza Yousaf's very first First Minister's Questions saw the public gallery cleared during repeated disruption from climate protesters
Mr Ross, who said the new first minister was more"divisive" than Nicola Sturgeon, said:"Less than 48 hours ago, Humza Yousaf stood in this chamber and promised to be the first minister for all of Scotland.
"And yesterday he had an opportunity to prove that with the new ministerial team he appointed, but he failed in his first big test."This is the largest government since devolution with more ministers than ever before, but key ministerial posts relating to social security and tourism were abolished. "Yet a new minister for independence was created.
The first minister also highlighted his earlier announcement of a £30m boost to the Fuel Insecurity Fund in 2023-24 to help Scots in need.
