@DrScottArthurMP Could you please lay out how you calculated that?

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@VodafoneUK Argh! Switched from unreliable VM to Vodafone full fibre end March... And now this! Sort it out please!

@maysumb @HistEnvScot What a pleasure it was speaking to you @maysumb as well as the other contributors to the exhibition. I'm looking forward to catching 'Enough of Him' in the autumn.

@edinhelp Not cleared up yet and looking worse

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@edinhelp overturned bin at Wardie playing fields, unfortunately. Gulls having a field day, litter & poo bags everywhere! TIA

@EDI_Airport Terrible service this evening! Waited over an hour for baggage after 20.25 arrival from Oslo with Norwegian. Then 40 min wait for a cab. Disgraceful welcome for visitors!

@Studio_Niek @Flight_Refunds @British_Airways Same situation here for us but in opposite direction. Madness.

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@British_Airways @British_Airways MADNESS cancelling our flight BA58 CT-LHR 9 Jan with red list scrapped. Call centre not able to offer us alternatives within reasonable timeframe. What's going on?? You're abandoning econ class customers? Please respond to my complaint no 22510198 @SimonCalder

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@British_Airways WHY are you cancelling flights from South Africa to UK in Jan? Our flight BA58 CT-LHR on 9 Jan cancelled, just spent hour on phone to your call centre - no economy seats available for days before and after - how are we supposed to get back? Something fishy...

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@samanthaTVnews @British_Airways Same here. Return flight CT-LHR 9 Jan cancelled. Spent 1.5 hours on phone to sort rebook - no seats 5 days either side. How are we supposed to get back after seeing family for Xmas? What's going on???

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@SimonCalder Mind asking @British_Airways why they are cancelling numerous flights from SA to UK in early Jan?? SA expats now able to go and see family are having return flights cancelled. NO econ seats available to rebook onto.

@anna_inScotland @scotgov @UFTScotland @Jen4Scot @murdo_fraser This is something ScotGovt MUST acknowledge.

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@anna_inScotland @scotgov @UFTScotland @Jen4Scot @murdo_fraser It never was mandatory - always been 'Non-statutory guidance' from ScotGovt. BUT the reality of how it's being enforced by LAs and trickled down to schools is that it's COMPULSORY in all schools. Overzealous implementation.

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@Political_AlanS Disgraceful coercion. What's next.... no jab, no school?!

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@EISUnion Secondary parent here. STOP shifting the goalposts on masks in class! START acknowledging the harm they're doing to our kids' learning, engagement & wellbeing. It's no way to learn & enjoy school. Teachers are all vaccinated now & 51% of kids. Time to prioritise kids' wellbeing.

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@P_H_S_Official @NHSScotland @COSLA @parentforumscot @OPFS @SSfF_Scotland @cisweb @children1st @AberlourCCT @YoungScot Yes, saw that thanks. Will there be another survey for this age group? HIgh school kids now bear the brunt of remaining Covid restrictions in society (esp masked all day in school) and face pressures around vaccination. Among kids I know I'm seeing this play out as anxiety etc

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@BenMacpherson @DeidreBrock Your constituent here, wanting to know why my son still cannot sing in school, and I still can't watch his sports games... while 1000s will do all of that in Euro fanzone?! SNP and ScotGovt, get your priorities straight and put children first!!

@Shelley000000 @on_lothianbuses @catswhiskers4 @ASA_UK @on_lothianbuses Do you really think carrying huge bus-side ads for a recreational nicotine product is appropriate for a public transport provider? It might be legal (strictly speaking) but it's in bad taste. You can and should choose not to carry these ads.

[Ida Maspero @IdaMasp]

@on_lothianbuses WHEN will contactless payment finally be rolled out across all services? Frankly embarrassing to have to explain to a friend visiting from Norway that she either has to spend min £10 on app tickets or have exact coinage handy. Come on guys, get it together!
