Salmond has left Aberdeen in a private jet. Heading for Edinburgh for the Official Announcement, perhaps? I hope so, otherwise I would regard it as a dereliction of duty. TBH, Alistair Darling has a duty to be there, too, as leader of the Better Together campaign. Whichever way things go both campa...

It is indeed bad news for Ed Miliband, TE. After all votes have been counted in two of the thirty-two areas voting in this Referendum I can confirm that there has not been one single vote either for Ed Miliband or , indeed, for the Labour Party. Aha, I had assumed as much. Good to know in these unc...

In other news the skaters in the Undercroft at the South Bank have won their battle against the developers who were trying to get them evicted.

Is that it then? God. I really hate it when this happens. Who gets to clean out the pans in the cafe? Me.
