3 Apr 2023, 6:47 p.m. I come onto Twitter for one minute to post something up that I think some folk will like & I'm reminded that there are some very unkind people in this world. I know it's often a result of being treated unkindly by others themselves but honestly, are they this cruel in person? Link to Original Tweet |

3 Apr 2023, 6:49 p.m. Getting back to being positive ... I very much appreciate for some people £5 is unaffordable but if it's doable for you and you're aged 12-26 or on UC, take yourself away from reality for a while and treat yourself to watching Kidnapped with @NTSonline https://t.co/tE1OPkh3Wu Link to Original Tweet |

3 Apr 2023, 6:53 p.m. I should say, nobody being cruel to me (maybe I get Monday off) & I mostly filter it out when they are.

3 Apr 2023, 10:09 p.m. @DennistounStyle Whoever you are, that is either a lie or mistaken identity. I have NEVER done anything like that in my entire life. Not even come close to it. If it IS mistaken ID I am really sorry that happened to you, no excuse for it but it was not me. Link to Original Tweet |
Anne McLaughlin (Scottish National Party - Glasgow North East) - @AnneMcLaughlin
3 Apr 2023, 10:29 p.m. @macadee10 @scottishgas @BritishGas The budget offers something to equalise the per unit cost but it depends how much you use, it's not straightforward. Also it doesnt address the daily standing charges. I am crediting them because they are the first to do it & I want others to follow suit. Link to Original Tweet |
Anne McLaughlin (Scottish National Party - Glasgow North East) - @AnneMcLaughlin
3 Apr 2023, 10:35 p.m. @anitaishealing1 @scottishgas @BritishGas Hi there, don't get me wrong, the cost of gas and electricity for everyone is outrageously high and I do talk about that. But my focus is ensuring you, as a #prepayment customer don't pay MORE for your energy than I, as a direct debit customer, do. Then I will get onto the rest. Link to Original Tweet |
Anne McLaughlin (Scottish National Party - Glasgow North East) - @AnneMcLaughlin
3 Apr 2023, 11:31 p.m. @DennistounStyle No. I did not forget. I would remember because it would be so wildly out of character for me. It would have stuck in MY mind too. It was not me & if I had a single doubt I would not be having this conversation particularly with an anonymous person. Link to Original Tweet |
Anne McLaughlin (Scottish National Party - Glasgow North East) - @AnneMcLaughlin
3 Apr 2023, 11:43 p.m. @DennistounStyle Hmmmm. Meantime you'll just leave that accusation hanging. I am struggling to feel those best wishes but I will grudgingly accept that you believe what you're saying. You're still wrong though. 100% wrong. Link to Original Tweet |

2 Apr 2023, 9:31 a.m. NB all the Suella ‘send them to Rwanda’ Braverman fans. @bbclaurak has just read out the Rwanda agreement which states clearly that the UK will also take refugees FROM Rwanda. So for all the nasty rhetoric, it won’t make a jot of difference other than causing unnecessary trauma. Link to Original Tweet |

2 Apr 2023, 10:25 a.m. Oh my. If this was yesterday I would be sure this plan of the Scottish Tories to tell folk to vote Labour rather than Tory to get rid of the SNP was an April Fools Day joke. But here we have @RealStephenKerr justifying it with the usual #SNPbad nonsense. Says it all. Link to Original Tweet |

4 Apr 2023, 10:59 a.m. I dont know this poor woman's circumstances but this is what I was trying to avoid by campaigning for all those on #pensioncredit to get the £650 #costofliving payment & not just those who applied by last Aug. Older people in partic will switch off rather than get into debt. Sad. https://t.co/xcBng6ntPc Link to Original Tweet |

4 Apr 2023, 11:10 a.m. @macadee10 @mrbannister1980 @scottishgas @BritishGas So I wrote to British Gas to ask them to tell me explicitly what they were doing and they confirmed they are reducing the per unit of energy cost in line with DD customers AND same with daily standing charges.
