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. Iāve 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 āassuredā itās being processed.
So letās say the government doesnāt amend the budget & social care providers commissioned by councils canāt afford to pay the NI rise while councils canāt pay them to cover it. Is a wave of in-housing on the horizon?

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 ā¬ļø
A quote from @r_cackett's Good Morning Scotland appearance belowš
"We have called for an expert legislative advisory group of everyone with a stake in the NCS, to help the government think through the amendments and get this right."
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.

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 sickā¹ļø. Iām still not over it, but seeing you on 4th October in Glasgow will help. Please be wellš¤.
