At once. Hardly the ‘welcome to Scotland’ we Scots hope to extend…..

Some of the folk had waited >1hr for a bus promised every 20 minutes. Tired visitors to Scotland were met by an angry man who, instead of explaining there had been a hold up due to an accident, just shouted and refused to answer questions - because, of course, two buses arrived

Or you might just want ninety seconds of dog-related detox. Not many moments like this with them in a busy / wet summer.

I’m in hospital (again). With suspected sepsis. (Again.) If you are based in the UK but can’t be bothered to vote: Do it for the 100 year old man in a and e who has been on a trolley for 48 hours Do it for me, if I’d had adequate access to my GP I wouldn’t be septic again. Do it for staff, who are lurching from one disagree to another. The guy who has waited 22 hours sat in the waiting room only to have a heart attack which stopped his heart, CPR got him back. Basically, get out there and vote for those who can’t.

You not only insult every single cancer patient in the UK today, but those that work tirelessly to support them. @AllisonPearson @Telegraph @macmillancancer @BreastCancerNow @CR_UK @METUPorg @NHSuk #lessermortals

Allison Pearson & @Telegraph And yes, I am writing this rant, from my couch while still wearing my jammies at 12.09pm. WITHOUT SHAME. #lessermortal

Allison Pearson & @Telegraph While I would never wish anyone to go through this regardless of status, I cannot believe that by trying to commend KM & all she does, Allison Pearson simultaneously insults every other patient going through this. #lessermortal

Allison Pearson & @Telegraph All without the help of the best Drs in the world, a team of staff/family help or endless coffers. Thanks to the NHS & the wonderful, overworked team that have kept me alive for the last 5 years. #lessermortal

Allison Pearson & @Telegraph how absolutely dare you. As a ‘lesser mortal’, I’ve kept my family together, continued to work (over a pandemic), to employ people & support my community, launched myself into debt & fought to keep this family together throughout this utter shit show.

This post is dedicated to every single member of staff on Scotland's Railway who helped make the past three days a success, getting tens of thousands of fans to three record-attendance gigs and back again safely. You made the whole place shimmer. #EdinburghTStheErasTour

Thank you to @sophieRblake and @thismorning for continuing the #EnhertuEmergency conversation. Please sign our #EnhertuEmergency petition to give women like Sophie the hope of more time. action.breastcancernow.org/e…

Campaigner Sophie Blake, who has terminal breast cancer, speaks out about the 'wonder drug' which is said to boost survival time by a third, which medical regulators in England and Wales have so far refused to approve over concerns about cost.
