UKRI sorry for pursuing Researchfish Twitter complaints

Oh dear. First ResearchFish then UKRI. Will be interesting to understand more about how Universities' HR teams have interacted with those responsible. I understand that UKRI are refusing to provide details of their communications with RF under an FOI request. I thought they claimed to be a transparent organisation? Why don't all funders cut ties with RF? (I don't actually understand what useful service they provide other than acting as a pointless and incredibly unpopular middle-man for reporting info that is largely already captured on eg ORCID)
