A good read. This programme was delivered in a way many promise but less often deliver.

Worrying when you read that this was 'not a budget for growth'. Makes you wonder how we move out of this cycle.
Marginal tax rates in Scotland on income between £100,000 and £125,000 will be 69.5%. Explained here: thetimes.co.uk/article/3977b9… No OECD country hits that rate: stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?Dat… Not much will be raised and optics for investors/high skilled migrants not good.
The Michelle Mone interview with Laura Kuenssberg as gifs … a thread. 1/13 #bbclaurak #MichelleMone
It’s out! It was a total honour to guest edit @IepInfo journal special issue on "supporting people into good jobs not just any jobs" 🙏Huge thanks to all our amazing contributors! 📒Read the journal here > bit.ly/41lg0kh 🧵A brief thread on their fantastic pieces 👇
Great to see @bellesglasgow putting in a show. Band and crowd great, and the films added nicely to the vibe
Well worth a read. Important point on shifting mix of people and labour market implications
My Sunday Times piece today on the combination of record levels of immigration and a continued tight labour market: We have record immigration. So why are we so short of workers? thetimes.co.uk/article/e2806f…
How could you not buy this. What a pitch 🤣🤣
We have a wee ask (mon, we dinnae ask for much ken) A regular and loyal listener to the show is currently undertaking a survey of ultramarathon runners and we’d love it if you took 15 mins to fill it in.

Yet another hat-trick of magic unleashed @FRETSCONCERTS last night. Never dreamed I’d see a guy with an accordion nearly blow @StrathavenHotel roof off! @callumeaster eh? Explosive, what a talent! 👏👏 Stevie Jackson & @eugenekelly: warm, funny, brilliant. Total BELTER of a gig!
Very different venue tonight from Monday at the Royal Festival Hall
I had given up hope of ever seeing Brian Eno live. Tonight was well worth the wait. A stunning show with the great man standing centre stage and so much else happening around him
Not my usual canal for a long run and not my usual view of Oxford St either.
Always nice to be surprised. Art by Dylan and the whole place to ourselves
The joys of an early run in London. Able run through usually busy streets and no need to stop at road crossings.
Sadly we don't know - if the labour market is loosening or tightening - if we have a UK specific participation problem - if the numbers of self employed are collapsing The data is rubbish The UK’s ‘official’ labour data is a nonsense ft.com/content/d6bdfe… via @ft
Super excited for this. Amazed demand has not been higher. Maybe people holding off hoping for more dates outside London
The 1st London show is now sold out. Limited tickets available for the 2nd London show, Berlin and Paris. Link below for more info: linktr.ee/brianeno
My Times piece today is on the reliability issues which have come to a head affecting some official economic statistics: Newport, we have a problem: how much can we trust ONS figures? thetimes.co.uk/article/92a698…
This is a depressing read but essential read for anyone interested in Scottish colleges.
Rising staff costs are colleges’ biggest financial pressure. Voluntary redundancies have been sought, but some colleges may need further, significant staffing reductions. More in @AuditorGenScot’s report: bit.ly/3Z9ppKF
