James Watt, the BrewDog co-founder, has launched a “Shadow Doge”, mirroring Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency in the US, because he is “sick of how broken our government is”.

Watt, who stepped down from his role at the craft beer giant last year, announced the project in a LinkedIn post, vowing to “actually do something” given it was “time to find a solution”.

Shadow Doge, which Watt has described as the “unofficial, underground cousin of America’s Department of Government Efficiency”, will take an entrepreneurial approach to addressing wasteful public spending

A priest has resigned after her conscience left her unable to swear a vow of obedience to a bishop at the centre of a “bullying” scandal which has plunged Scotland’s Anglican church into crisis.

The Rev Canon Vittoria Hancock has announced her intention to step down as rector of both St Thomas’ Episcopal Church in Aboyne and St Kentigern’s in Ballater in Aberdeenshire.

In a letter to church members Hancock said her departure, which will leave her without a home or paid employment, had been prompted by disquiet over the conduct of the Right Rev Anne Dyer, the Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney
