From our media release ☝️, a question for @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour 👇
@kingdom_ha @scottishautism @partnersforinc @WeAreWithYou @anniemauger @Amanda_EildonHA @CG_CarrGomm @nayburhood @alzscot @_ChildrenFirst @ComIntCare @Cyrenians1968 @FourSquareScot @TSA_Scotland
ALT An image with white text which reads: “How can the UK Government claim that those with the broadest shoulders should pay more when this policy will impact not-for-profit organisations supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our society,” followed by a large question mark, bottom right. The message is sitting on top of an orange background surrounded by white illustrated style concentric circles.

It couldn't be clearer what the issue is. Thank you, @r_cackett @ccpscotland
As to solutions, well, we are all ears 👂

My letter in the Times today about the apparent failure of this Govt to date to appreciate the interdependence of social care & #NHS & factor it into its policies.

Great bunch of young people on the @CalSleeper tonight from Inverness! What a great idea for a school trip.

In light of the recent damaging words of @KemiBadenoch against people with autism and mental health issues, C-Change has released a powerful statement titled, 'We Are Better Than This.'
🗣️ Let's stand together for inclusion, compassion, and understanding.

Indeed; why is it so difficult for people to prioritise the support at home that people need and want
A seriously deficient plan for many reasons. Most people stuck in hospital don’t need a care home place & the NHS can’t afford to buy them. @UKLabour need to take better advice & soon. theguardian.com/society/arti…
On the @CalSleeper to my last @DunhillMedical Board meeting and the Cairngorms are beautiful in the evening sun
Brilliant response to @NicolaSturgeon at @CharlestonTrust Festival - and she’s on again with @valmcdermid later. If only all politicians…

Great to hear @NIHRresearch and @christopherwhitty, CMO calling for research funders to take the lead on changing culture in ageing-related research today. @DunhillMedical made this commitment 5 years ago and welcomes fellow travellers to DMT Academy and UKARFF.
