So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that further shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracle
And cures and healing wells.
An Israeli Jewish family offering dates to Palestinian Muslim worshippers outside Damascus Gate in Jerusalem during an evening in Ramadan. A small yet profoundly meaningful gesture in a time dominated by hatred, dehumanization, and calls for revenge from both sides.

One of my fave bloopers - when punctuation goes wrong, for #nationalpunctuationday, as promised on my show @ClassicFM, earlier. @JCharlesLondon it is a classic! 🙌 Please do share your faves too, would love to see!

We're committed to taking forward work to deliver a National Care Service for Scotland. Our co-design process is in full swing with more activities happening this month. We're also improving social care support now with increased funding and progress on fair work and pay.

“I would hope that it would build a reputation as solid as the NHS. Then you know you’d be in good hands.” Fiona, a full-time unpaid carer for her son Jonathan, hopes the National Care Service will improve support for carers across Scotland. More at gov.scot/ncs

Welcome to our National Care Service account. The NCS will strengthen community health and social care across the country. It will be shaped by people who use and deliver services. Share your voice and let's work together to build a service fit for Scotland's future.

Just a thought for and a word of thanks tonight to the often criticised civil servants who are keeping government going while many departments have no ministers. Your work @UKCivilService is appreciated.

I LOVE the baby box. There’s something really special about your Gvt celebrating the arrival of your baby, and it was such a great equaliser - everyone had their newborns dressed in the same kit and sported the (invaluable) grey sling. Really pleased it’s getting even better.

Awful to hear of @stellacreasy’s treatment by @HouseofCommons. Elected reps should reflect the society they serve - I’d rather have a breastfeeding mum in the Chamber than someone who has no idea of the challenges so many of us face. There’s lots to be learned from @ScotParl….
That’s great to hear @RuthDavidsonPC and telling that oddly enough politics and parenting don’t have to conflict …if the political will is there to ensure it is so …🤷‍♀️
I’ve probably actually watched more TV tonight than I have done for years.
