@philcoghill Thanks for highlighting, I will have a good look at it

Absolutely fascinating to understand what the benefits to the region could be but interesting to speculate on the implications for rScot and rUK. From basic economics to social and environmental. Particularly interesting would be cultural impact for lowland Scotland.

I have a lot of Scottish followers so this is worth a shot.

I’m looking to interview someone who lives on a remote Scottish island and works multiple jobs.

The person who keeps the post office going but also fixes the street lamps.

Retweets appreciated! #JournoRequest

The salary of a PhD student in many European countries is now higher than the typical starting salary of a UK lecturer, with a postdoc in Europe often surpassing a UK lecturer salary. Meanwhile, some top UK depts now require a published monograph for entry-level positions (1/2)

@JAFMacDonald @samfirthfilms @_JamieMcIntyre it’s a challenge especially for those who due to the centralisation of public services have to commute to Fort William for work

This is beyond shameful.

Being an MP isn’t a second job. It is the job.

Labour will put an end to this racket.

[The National @ScotNational]

Just one problem: Hoyle got his facts wrong
