Why do we have leaders who want to be the First Minister of colour, the first gay First Minister, or now, the first female First Minister? Why can’t we have a First Minister who will be the best First Minister that Wales deserves? Stop hiding behind divisive tickets. @WelshLabour

@MoneybarnUK I do not have an account with you. I have never had an account with you.

[Andrew McLaughlin @andymac2602]

@MoneybarnUK
I have requested that I received no more calls from you and you I am still receiving them. I never have and never will have any dealings with you. STOP CALLING! #harrassment

@MoneybarnUK I don’t have an account with you. I never have had one.

@AndrewGraystone Sadly, many denominational structures are the same. I know.

@FragranceShopUK
Still getting emails about Click and Collect available until 2pm on Sunday, yet told by your so called Customer Care team that mine could not because “it might get lost”! Take my money and don’t supply the goods. Before you ask, you already have my order number.

@FragranceShopUK
As with others, you are happy to continue to send me emails about offers, but not so quick to answer queries regarding my latest order.

[Andrew McLaughlin @andymac2602]

@FragranceShopUK
I should have read recent TrustPilot reports before ordering. A shambolic set of events leaves wondering where my order is. Happy to take my money. Not so good at sending goods or answering questions. Lesson learned - never ever again. #rubbishcustomerservice

Euro 2028 - a good excuse to fleece supporters. Don’t plan to stay in Cardiff for the opening match, prices will be extortionate. #EURO2028 #ripoff

Getting sick of Putin complaining when Ukraine strikes back, defending the land he declared war on, and holding the rest of the world to ransom. Time the Russian Orthodox Church opened its eyes. I suppose money and power speak louder than justice. #UkraineRussianWar #PutinHitler

Just had interesting conversation. If you forget your password for online account DO NOT send a “request password reset” as indicated on screen. Just been told by RAC that it does not work and is a ruse to get you to call them, but does not say so on the sign in page. #rac

@DieselExpertsUK Something of a con. It is not did you own a diesel vehicle between those dates, but if the vehicle was manufactured in those dates.

@thetrainline When trains actually run and are cheaper than airline flights.

[Andrew McLaughlin @andymac2602]

@toadmeister Another sign of the times. Stand firm.

[Andrew McLaughlin @andymac2602]

@baptistuniongb Very good. Sadly the table is not widely open to those who do not tick all the relevant boxes. I thought Baptists were radical, non-conformists? Maybe not.

[Andrew McLaughlin @andymac2602]

I lost both parents within a space of 12 weeks. I was granted leave of absence on compassionate grounds. I was only contacted, as the pastor, to ask when I was returning to work! Unfortunately, very different to what is expected of me from my denomination or employers.

[Andrew McLaughlin @andymac2602]

Why is that people outside the church care for pastors more than those inside it?

[Andrew McLaughlin @andymac2602]

@daihankey Real and genuine out rule anything else. Keep at it.

[Andrew McLaughlin @andymac2602]

@daihankey Sadly this is all too true of the Christian family. I have been criticised by a new group in our area of being ineffective and not doing it right. The fact that our doors stay open, new people join us for worship says differently. As God leads you, keep doing what you do.
