I love waiting in the rain for more than an hour for an hourly bus that completely missed my stop only for the next bus to be half an hour late as well. Can't wait to work until 8 to make up this time

[Lothian Buses @on_lothianbuses]

@ScienceSaz Hi, checking the logs, this bus developed a fault at was temporarily out of service. It was then repositioned along the route to get the service back to timetable. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

[Sarah McC @ScienceSaz]

@on_lothianbuses Love waiting for an hour in the rain to then be forced to take a bus that will double my commute. Can't wait to work until 8 to make up the time

[Sarah McC @ScienceSaz]

Hi @on_lothianbuses, any reason why the x40 that was already 40 minutes late seems to have completely breezed past the hermiston park and ride stop and is now on the bypass? I've been here since 8.10 so definitely didn't miss it

[Sarah McC @ScienceSaz]

@on_lothianbuses @on_lothianbuses can you tell me where the 9 21 x40 is then?

[Sarah McC @ScienceSaz]

@on_lothianbuses Hi @on_lothianbuses this is pretty unacceptable if there has been no X40 at the park and ride since 7.09.

[Sarah McC @ScienceSaz]

@on_lothianbuses So no x40 until nearly 10?

[Sarah McC @ScienceSaz]

And now no sign of the 9.21 bus. AMAZING

[Sarah McC @ScienceSaz]

Hey @on_lothianbuses I've been waiting at stop IN since before 5 and the x40 to St johns still hasn't shown up, but did seem to get to hermiston park and ride since my fiance just saw it go through . Has it just skipped RIE?

Nicola Sturgeon called Boris Johnson "a fucking clown" in a WhatsApp exchange with her top aide in 2020.

100% factually accurate tbf.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

In fact, expert consensus is that the NHS does remarkably well with its below-average overall funding, woeful levels of capital investment & excessively low numbers of doctors & hospital beds per capita.

None of this is to say we can't do better with the resources we have. 5/

Many thanks, @wesstreeting.

Have to say I really didn't have "stop exploiting those patients you see dying in corridors in horrifically overwhelmed A&Es" on this year's Christmas list.

Please consider reading this short thread in response to your Sunday Times interview. 1/n

Really pleased that @ValGordon was recognised for her many years and outstanding contribution to science at the @Science_Council awards last night. Val’s passion and dedication to ensuring Professional registration for technicians was immeasurable @TechsCommit

At 16, I was placed in a bedsit with two older men who were both alcoholics. The place was dangerous and unsuitable for a 16 year old boy leaving care and starting an independent life. No one listened when I begged for somewhere safe to live. I ended up falling behind on my bills because I had no money or support, and before I knew it, I was homeless. That's how quickly it can happen, and you have no control over it whatsoever. It is not a lifestyle choice. @SuellaBraverman

In October 2020 Boris Johnson said he was “slightly rocked” by Covid infection rates and suggests, despite on the ground experience, that he “no longer buys” fact NHS was overwhelmed by pandemic 👇🏼

[Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK @CovidJusticeUK]

It was hard to keep up with the number of horrific revelations that came out of the Covid Inquiry today.

@on_lothianbuses X40 at 12.07 we all saw it come along the opposite side of the road and leave the hospital

[Sarah McC @ScienceSaz]

@on_lothianbuses why did the x40 12.07 not stop at the bus stop at the RIE it's signposted to stop at? Love waiting for an hour in the cold for an hour

[Sarah McC @ScienceSaz]

@on_lothianbuses Its left at least 4 people waiting an extra hour and IN is definitely the stop the timetables at and it shows on the bus tracker as being due at

[Sarah McC @ScienceSaz]

@on_lothianbuses Stop IN
