The real entertainment in UK will be the level of either protest or zero interest when the orange buffoon comes for his state smoke-blowing exercise. #TrumpNotWelcomeHere #UkraineWillWin 🇺🇦

Dear @VW My Caddy just sent me into the gutter because I can't reach the windscreen camera to clear the frost & the lane "assist" wasn't working properly! 😱 How do I turn the f'ing thing off permanently for poor Scottish Borders roads & in 🥶 conditions. ie permanently!

Seems odd to be drafting an email to introduce one branch of Scottish Government to another, yet here I am... #lefthandrighthanddisconnect has never been more evident 😢

Next time I am required to make a 10 hour train journey, I shall require a carriage reservation, not just a seat. All the little people, gurning about which seat is reserved or not. I haven't sat in mine yet- get over yourselves people! 🥱🤣 #amusingAtFirst #bemoredog 🐶 😁

Hoping @VW can advise me on my Caddy Life needing some warranty work. Bought car in June: a minor issue with the brakes & an electrical fault with battery to be fixed. Local dealer says it commercial. Nearest option is a 2hr round trip. Can u authorise non-VW local mechanic fix?

Out on the road #bike, Sunday afternoon -just a local loop in the #ScottishBorders. Encountered my ride buddy's 9yr old at the end, who raced us with the gleeful phrase "...& @OscarOnley takes the win!" I rode home with the biggest grin on my face! #goOO #LeTour @dsmfirmpostnl

#Prescriber colleagues. Any suggestions on the role this might have in treating a non- bacterial UTI*? 🤔 (*caused by a neurodivergent teenager with a fluid phobia) #LowClinicalValueMedicine

Another instance of #nhs IM&T "upgrades" hindering work. Yesterday, my phone diary could tell me what was coming up in my diary. ✅️ Now, I only get to know there's something,& I need dual security to find out what! 😔 productivity reduced by the tool that's meant to help-again

This is about NHS England, but exactly the same issues north of the wall!
For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help. I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

The level of who gives a 💩 I'm feeling is hard to describe! 😆

Grow up @RishiSunak ! The times have moved on, give the sculptures back to where they came from & stop perpetuating the UK's bad global reputation. BBC News - Sunak cancels Greek PM meeting in Elgin Marbles row #nolongerVictorian bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…
