My scoop in this week's Times Higher Education: UKRI has failed to secure charity status, meaning it stands to pay £15 million a year in VAT. This is a serious oversight and will surely impact on research council budgets timeshighereducation.com/news/ukri-coun… via Times Higher Education

I really like @Liam4Orkney but putting his name to this crud doesn’t square with the sensible pragmatic bloke I know. Let’s have a look at each of these things in turn scotsman.com/news/push-for-…

I have enjoyed all the Tory councillors denouncing the SNP for breaking their manifesto (not actually true) but if manifesto is holy writ can I remind them of that other commitment to hold a referendum on independence if Scotland is taken out the EU against our will?

Not normally one to tweet pics of food but for the first time ever I managed to poach eggs without too many ghosts 👻 all thanks to Nigella Lawson. Served on smashed avacado and toasted sourdough, delicious. Happy New Year breakfast 😎👍
