I had 3-4 weeks off Twitter with autistic burnout recently & my engagement is right down (also due to standing up to a vile group of trolls on here-they reported me lots, restricting my reach). If you see this photo it would be so ace if you could RT it or drop me a quick hello if you have a moment, both of which help an account get back on track. I also hope these little violas ping some floral dopamine in your meat computer & give you a small lift 🌿

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! Technically, this isn't correct. 13 years ago, I joined Twitter. 13 - unlucky for some X!

I have made the amazing discovery (hitherto unknown to man) that if you slice the bottom 1/4 inch off a wilted cabbage to refresh the stump and leave it in a dish of water for a few hours, it will restore a glory to behold; and with a rinse, delicious eating outer leaves as well.

Today’s 25 minute flight against a 6 to 8 hour train journey. Occupancy of the flight today gave it the same carbon emissions as the train, if not slightly lower.

.@JohnSwinney "What I expect as First Minister of Scotland is that I will have a direct relationship with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. So that's the Channel of communication that I will have, I won't be dealing through envoys." Well said FM

Those complaining that Scotland has no local reps at the Council of the Nations & Regions (CNR) miss the point that the CNR is designed to demote Scotland to a local region. As far as the CNR is concerned John Swinney is the local rep has the same status as the English Mayors.

"The lady at the charity shop told me she wishes ppl wd clear out their kids' old toys in the lead up to Xmas, rather than after, because she always sees parents (who might be strapped for cash) looking for toys for their little ones in the days before Xmas."

Labour’s first choices have been devastating for my Highland constituents. My constituency has an ageing demographic, high fuel poverty and below freezing temperatures. -2C in Kinbrace, -4C in Altnaharra this week. Far from change, this new govt looks just like the old one.
📣 Labour promised no austerity. 🥀 Then they scrapped the Winter Fuel Payment for millions of pensioners. 📣 Labour promised they'd cut fuel bills by £300. 🥀 Then fuel bills went up by, on average, £149.

You don't need to pay a 3rd party. In the last year more than 450,000 customers, with just their National Insurance number and date of birth, used the free GOV.UK tool to locate their Child Trust Fund.
