I did a BBSRC iCase studentship PhD in 2014-2018 at the university of Edinburgh in chemistry and I had a great time. The stipend is tight, obviously, but I didn't pay tuition or anything like that.
I'm not sure what type of PhD you want to pursue but I think they can be fun

This part of the piece is spot-on. Other research councils need to look at contributing to the rising facilities costs at STFC because it is their researchers who are relying on them.
