The tabloid press in the UK picked this up, similar stories in the Sun and Mirror. Nothing in the Independent though, and that was surprising.

It was indeed fixed at £6 no matter how long or short the flight, now it seems like £6 for one hour flights, £8 for 2 hours, £10 for anything longer, or thereabouts, e.g EDI-LIS.

I was on LDY-EDI on Thursday, this is one of Ryanair's shorter flights so you'd imagine fewer bags generally. There were exactly 60 passengers with Priority Boarding and 47 without it. Just one tiny bag was placed in the trolley by the aircraft from one of those without PB, presumably a second bag went on the aircraft. A few months ago before these changes there would have been perhaps 20 in PB, 87 without. Ryanair's Plus, FlexiPlus and Business fares have Priority Boarding included, so it's a bit difficult to separate it all out.

LDY-EDI will stay at £6.
