. @RobbieRinder is this you??!
My friend has recorded some songs. He's spent months working on them and recently sent me copies to critique. I've told him they are good and wished him good luck but honestly they are fucking awful.

Hey @KarenMillen. I’ve now been waiting 3 weeks for a refund. And the only reason I had to return the item is because your sizing is so unreliable. Is this a normal timescale? I keep being “assured” it’s being processed.

So let’s say the government doesn’t amend the budget & social care providers commissioned by councils can’t afford to pay the NI rise while councils can’t pay them to cover it. Is a wave of in-housing on the horizon?

Hi @NHSLanarkshire. Both my in-laws are in Wishaw General with the same terminal condition, and both in need of palliative care. Told on Friday that the Palliative Team would speak to us. Still waiting. Please help. Using X as nobody answers the phone.

YES, YES, YES @neilmcrowther. Could not agree more.
The primary problem faced by people & families who have cause to draw on social care, and by councils tasked with meeting their needs, is not hospital discharge #BBCLauraK

It’s my great privilege to know Ethan and his Mum. 2 very special people. Please watch if you can - he’s incredible.
🎹 Born blind, Scottish musican Ethan Loch won the keyboard final of @BBCYoungMus in 2022. #TheCultureScene meets Ethan on the cusp of maturity both as a man and as a burgeoning pianist and composer. 📺 Watch Ethan Loch: Making Music Talk on @BBCiPlayer.

Excellent input from @r_cackett of @ccpscotland on how there is still time, and a willingness, to work collaboratively/co-productively with all stakeholders on developing the #NCSBill amendments. Worth a listen ⬇️
Listen to @r_cackett, CCPS CEO, on BBC Good Morning Scotland today discussing the NCS. (time: 1.11.24)👇 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001wp… The NCS Stage 1 debate takes place later today in Parliament, keep an eye out for updates from CCPS. @ronculley77 @andreawoodKey @samcchange

The more awful message @HumzaYousaf @ScotGovFM @neilcgray is that the social care rate of pay in Scotland, which you set, is not enough to attract, retain and adequately reward our social care workforce. #RethinkTo13 @ccpscotland
Simply awful message from the UK Govt - come here to care for our loved ones, but don't bring your loved ones with you. A race to the bottom on migration is not only morally abhorrent but economically illiterate. These plans will only damage social care & those who rely on it.

So proud of the work we do in @SenseScotland and other @ccpscotland providers. Ashamed, though, of how little the social care workforce is valued by @scotgov. #RethinkTo13 @ScotGovFM @neilcgray.

Dear @AlfieBoe and @mrmichaelball. In November 2019 I made the trip from Glasgow to London to see both of you (and Matt Lucas) in @lesmisofficial. You were all sick☹️. I’m still not over it, but seeing you on 4th October in Glasgow will help. Please be well🤞.
