Didn’t want to disclose my learning difficulty in this profession, quickly realised I had no choice. Putting my future prospects in jeopardy to raise the issue and potentially inspire others is a fair trade #Thinkdifferentbedifferent @DyslexiaScotlan

@ScottHamilton79 Best of luck Scott you were very nice to me when I started, sorry we couldn’t have worked more together

[Thomas McGovern @ThomasMcGovern7]

@Mickkennedy1904 Thanks Mick and well done on all you’re recent success which I’m sure will continue

[Mkennedy @Mickkennedy1904]

In relation to my earlier tweet about being dyslexic, when I look back on life it was of one of my strengths. It made me understand the value in people, investing in them and building relationships. Those values have made me successful in life, surround yourself with good people

I don’t understand football

If you think Maguire flopped you genuinely don’t understand this sport

@derekwatson89 Not a massive Souness fan but that was 35+ years ago, been a big proponent of pride marches recently; a rarity in football. People can change, bringing stuff up from the past is reductive given his recent track record

@psweeney1982 and I both still working unpaid to support clients and their families at nine pm. How do @ScotGovJustice expect people to come in to this line of work for a fraction of the pay available for jobs they find that don’t require this level of stress? #DefendLegalAid

[Scottish Solicitors Bar Association @scotscrimbar]

Despite the increases over the last 5 years the average cost of a summary case is still £40 less than it was in 1998/99, showing how woefully the government has failed to invest in the system. Had the fixed fee increased only by the rate of inflation it would be £1540.

[Thomas McGovern @ThomasMcGovern7]

@ScottishLegal If legal aid was easier to put on and fee more would do it, the time + line philosophy belongs in the 1980s given the quantity of work

[John McGovern @raguvnor]

Reeves and Starmer or Reeves and Mortimer? Season 4 of The Ordinary Elite launches tomorrow with @mikedailly and me. Not to be missed.

[Vincent McGovern @vgmcgovern]

@AamerAnwar @ScotlandTonight This is a must watch.Aamer Anwar has done more than any other lawyer to defend & promote the interests of the vulnerable & the poor. He is Scotland’s leading campaigner for justice.This withering critique of the deliberate underfunding of legal is devastating for @ScotGovJustice

[Thomas McGovern @ThomasMcGovern7]

What a hero @PaulHMcNeill

[Paul Hugh McNeill MBE @PaulHMcNeill]

Very emotional watching this clip

@DyslexiaScotlan and I started this journey in 2017 in the hope of helping dyslexic adults

We are not giving up until we make Scotland a dyslexic friendly nation 🙏

If you believe anything is possible and we won’t give up ❤️

I have Asthma, allergies, dyslexia, ADD, anxiety, and Depression.
But I will tell you that what you have does not define what you can become.
Why Not You!

[Thomas McGovern @ThomasMcGovern7]

I had some small consultation on this but unsurprising to see the @Lawscot being progressive with these issues

Stark comparison with the @SCTScourtstribs a service in my experience feels burdened not privileged to do their bit for inclusivity
