@VonnSand Superb @VonnSand you have joined the dots....If only Labour is strong enough to make work pay and properly fix/subsidise child care..

[Ian Milligan @ianmilligan10]

@CSWCEdinburgh @CHatzaw Congratulations Nuam, very well done.

[Caitlin Hutchison @caitlinbbc]

I met this incredible woman today - putting my insignificant worries into sharp perspective. Thanks to the wonderful people @gorbalschurch

The wicked witch of the west
With a mouth flecked with foam
Summons a hurricane of hate
There's no place like home

Sorry Miriam - it is the day job. And when we are not standing alongside the poorest & most marginalised, we are not following in the footsteps of Jesus and we are not being the Church we are called to be.

[Ian Milligan @ianmilligan10]

@JamieKinlochan Very sorry to hear this news,what shock, what loss x

This article In the Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care by @amandajgavin reflects on historic inspection practices, the regulation of residential child care and the failure of many homes to meet the emotional needs of the children in their care: https://t.co/zk7ksgmSNt

So 600,000 children go to private schools and two million children go hungry. But we're subsidising private school fees instead of free school meals.

This is the mood...

@Beth_AnneLogan That’s a very deep reflection @Beth_AnneLogan , and such a hopeful one. Gaun yersel !

This is the clip that needs to go global and viral. Twitter...do your stuff...

[MP @P14Murray]

Remembering Ian Hamilton KC who ‘stole’ (BBC, Telegraph, Times, Courier, Paisley Express); ‘removed’ (Mail, Scottish Legal News), ‘took’ (I, Scotsman, Express); ‘swiped’ (Sun); ‘liberated’ (Record, STV); ‘retrieved’ (Glasgow Live, Record). The formation of cultural memory !

[Dave Ward @DaveWardGS]

I am asking all of my followers to RT this thread so as many people as possible know the truth about the Royal Mail Group strikes and how our members are facing a vicious attack #StandByYourPost

[Gerry Hassan @GerryHassan]

Home Sec Suella Braverman just told a deliberate FALSEHOOD. She said people would be deported to Rwanda from where "their asylum claim will be processed." That is NOT the current Rwanda policy which is a one-way deportation scheme. #CPC22

[Al @Albannach91]

I earn £30,000. I’m happy to pay £195pa* more than in England because:

- Council Tax is lower
- Public services are better
- University is free
- Dentistry is/will be free
- Prescriptions are free
- Youth and 60+ bus pass
- Baby box
- Houses are cheaper

*Your Tweet is incorrect

[Martin Johnstone @MartinAtTheEdge]

We could not afford to retain an uplift in #universalcredit. We could not afford to invest in children in the aftermath of #COVID19. But we can afford to cut #taxes for the super-rich.

Of course we can, because that's who we are, listen to, hang out with, or desire to become.

[Peter Smith @Redpeter99]

Rich need a pay RISE to work harder. Poor need a pay CUT to work harder. I've never understood why and never will.
