motion of no confidence in the Deputy First Minister at Holyrood today following an ongoing row about the disclosure of evidence to the Alex Salmond Inquiry.Scottish Parliament bosses confirmed a vote could go ahead tomorrow but just moments later the Greens announced they would refuse to back it.The Conservatives argue that Swinney should resign after waiting four months to publish legal advice regarding the botched handling of complaints made against Alex Salmond in 2018.MSPs twice voted for the legal advice to be published but it was shared - in partial form - last week when the threat of a no motion confidence vote was first threatened.Despite the row, Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie said his party would not vote down Swinney.He said:

botched handling of complaints made against Alex Salmond - a legal row that cost the taxpayer at least £600,000.But the stunt has provoked mixed reactions on social media, with one Twitter user calling the organisers "fannies".One Twitter user, @lalalauramac, said: "Anyone else see the plane cutting about with the big banner on the back saying Nicola Sturgeon should resign? Some folk have too much money."Another, @chazforbes898, observed: "Small plane flew over Edinburgh pulling a banner saying Sturgeon Resign.

Two women had raised complaints against Salmond in 2018 dating to his time in the top job in Scottish politics and the government launched a probe.Salmond denied the allegations and insisted the complaints process was biased against him - a claim vindicated in the civil courts in January 2019.But Sturgeon told MSPs she felt "very let down" by the former first minister.She said: “I have learned things about Alex Salmond over the past couple of years that have made me rethink certain things I thought about him.
