See you Jimmy ?

Odds on Julian Payne to be made permanent as the BBC's Director of Communications must have shortened overnight - the move to annouce Mishal Husain as a Today presenter, on the day of the corporation's most embarassing Annual Report, delivered Guardian, Telegraph and Independent front page pictures of our heroine.

Sadly, in Scotland, no such coverage for Jim Naughtie, who'll be presenting Good Morning Scotland two days a week in referendum year (which makes space for Mishal). Jim says he's "thrilled" (he has a house in Edinburgh), but makes it clear he'll be back presenting Today full-time before the UK election in 2015. Gary Robertson, current five-day-a-week host of GMS, is giving nothing away on Twitter - though presumably he'll have to add Jim to the photo on the account.
