@sgmaclennan1 Outrageous attack on local democracy on the face of it. I couldn’t stay for long (funnily enough with the mtg being held on the wrong day) - there’s an explanation surely? @_KarlRosie@KenGowansSNP
Big milestone for https://t.co/zArDmkakdC - 800,000 downloads. This means approx 20% of adult population is using it already and we know it will make a difference at that level. But the more who use it, the bigger that difference will be. Please encourage friends & family

Scotland and the UK’s shame. Many deaths in nursing homes and in community were avoidable if adequate staffing and care had been given and if Scotland had had a plan to protect staff and residents.
Ben Warner: 2 years ago he was doing physics postdoc. Now he’s a ‘data scientist’ advising govt & sitting on SAGE. His brother, Marc - who worked with Cummings on Vote Leave - won £250m NHS contract when Cummings entered Downing Street. And now the contract for NHS tracking app
