I couldn't be more delighted to see the brilliant @Jdcrawf at the helm of this new @BBCRadio4 book show, recording in Glasgow weekly.
(My previous concerns about the lack of space on radio for new and midlist voices do remain, but I'm very much hoping to be proved wrong...!)

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.
I think this is a national scandal.
Please RT if you do too 🙏
Hospice UK@hospiceuk
In this interview with @skynewsniall, Dr Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) emphasises the need to prioritise quality end of life care. Regardless of Parliament's decision on assisted dying, fixing the funding of our struggling hospice and end of life care system is essential.

Had a health scare today: ECG, Xray, bloods, etc @WghLothian
Medics were fast, attentive, reassuring.
#NHS at its best.
So grateful.
@NHS_Lothian
Am firing on all cylinders again.

1. Could we stop saying "natural gas"? It sounds almost wholesome, but it's one of the most potent drivers of climate breakdown. The term is
a. meaningless
b. fails to properly to distinguish it from other sources.
The obvious alternative is "fossil gas" or fossil methane".

@Chitgrrl @HanLavery @Nicola_Meighan Loved it! You two were perfect first guests. Loved the "too niche" rejection comment. 🤣
