David Maddox: Economic advisors' Glasgow kiss

Today's obviously the day for Glasgow. Just been to the release of the first annual report by the Council of Economic Advisors, set up by First Minister Alex Salmond. They came up with the startling revelation that Glasgow is "underperforming" economically and that there are too many people claiming benfits there. Something needs to be done, said former RBS chief Sir George Mathewson, who chairs the council. Unfortunately, they did not quite seem to know what what could be done for Scotland's largest city beyond locally driven regeneration.
There were some interesting recommendations in their report on the wider economy, but you will have to buy a Scotsman tomorrow to find out about them.
