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.

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, 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.

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 |

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 |

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.

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.

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.
