Lots of discourse about top end of Scotland's tax system - but interesting "fiscal drag" for lower earners too, highlighted by @Strath_FAI. The precise reasons why are Quite Complicated (see blog), but apparently nudges 95,000 people into higher tax bands: fraserofallander.org/the-day-after-…
Striking today how much of the key exchanges at FMQs is now made up of pre-scripted monologues designed for clips on party social media channels. Trouble is they still take place in a parliamentary chamber, so the presiding officer keeps butting in to get them to wind up...

( I should note that this is not a partisan point. This looks like a systemic failing where the seriousness of law making is ignored across parties in favour of sending messages. If you want messages you should go to the Co op)
Security checking no Frankfurt fans are entering the home end at Pittodrie. Aberdeen had warned fans not to resell tickets to travelling fans who are banned from the match. The method appeared to be asking how people were doing? A man with a Doric accent replied: “gut danke”.
@BBCPhilipSim reporting whilst holding his baby is the radio content we all wanted! #bbcgms @BBCRadioScot
No gurgle but a bit of an edge in his voice, not a bad 07:35 live despatch by @BBCPhilipSim given he just admitted he was holding a sleeping baby in his arms throughout. “A remarkably bold and brave decision” to broadcast to the nation say his colleagues at the end.
Absolutely tremendous work from @BBCPhilipSim doing a live 2-way whilst carrying a sleeping baby.
@scarycath @BBCPhilipSim I think Philip has explained things very clearly.

If you're wondering which new UK constituencies allow you the longest walk without crossing a road, it's Moray West, Nairn & Strathspey + W Ab'shire & Kincardine From just south of Dalwhinnie on the A9 heading 44 miles towards Corgarff. Do not attempt without compass, skills
Opportunity — and uncertainty — lies on the other side of this (frequently-unreliable) revolving door at BBC Towers. It’s been a privilege to have been here for so long, but the time is right to be moving on. I start my new role in early October; but before that, some leave!
Thank you for all the love ❤️ and good luck ☘️ wishes Back soon bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
