Plans follow pressure on broadcaster to put more content on platform, but raises questions about licence fee
The BBC could soon make programmes for YouTube, after pressure to produce more content on the increasingly dominant digital platform.

Thoughts on the #ScottishBudget
1. The Mansion Tax is a little pointless to do now given there is a consultation on council tax reform in Scotland. Any mansion tax stuff should just be part of that.

Come for the chart of shifting party support, stay for the fury at the fact we're going to have one of the most consequential Scottish (and definitely most consequential Welsh) elections since devolution, yet the Westminster media can't stop speculating about PM Farage in 2029 long enough to care.

Great casting for the large part. So glad I went back to watch it.

Genuinely don't know why Square doesn't try to complete with Honkai Star Rail. Final Fantasy is genuinely a perfect fit for that style.
