Patrick Harvie, the co-leader of the Scottish Greens, has admitted his coalition deal with the Scottish government could collapse after a rebellion by party members over climate policy.

Harvie said the Scottish Greens faced the biggest crisis in their history after party activists forced the leadership to hold an emergency meeting on whether to remain in government with the Scottish National party.
