Not often I link to gov.uk instead of gov.scot but this is a great decision that Starmer has reversed. Edinburgh were set to build this years ago, but Starmer didn't think it AI enough, showing his ignorance. But he's at least showing he can learn, so lets celebrate this u-turn instead of castigating our PM
