@ParentPay Is there any hope on the horizon for the MyGovScot login to be working anytime soon?

Powerful and inspirational keynote speech from ⁦@GordonBrown⁩ this morning to the Carnegie foundations meeting in Dunfermline on the need for multilateral cooperation, rebuilding civic society and hope.

As Scots become less trusting of the government, who wins the 2026 election is the least of Holyrood’s worries | ✍️ Sarah Davidson, chief executive of Carnegie UK and a former director-general in the Scottish government #Echobox=1746096132-3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…

The egg sat on the counter, like a dairy Eye of Sauron, making me question my every belief. A few days later, my daughter arrived at home with a note... "The Lord Provost of Glasgow was pleased to give all children in the city a chocolate egg..."

A tiny Easter story! In her first year at primary school, my daughter one Easter came home clutching a chocolate egg. "Who gave you that egg?" we asked. "The Lord" she said.

Kudos to the @EdinInquirer for their careful use of language in today’s newsletter and the reminder that cars don’t hit people, drivers do. 😥

Gutted we can’t come to @theyoungunstrio Glasgow show tomorrow night; this is my 12 yo’s favourite band, he knows all the songs by heart but @OranMorGlasgow is 14+ only. 😢

@MarkShucksmith @BBCRadio4 I loved this - such a good example of the importance of seeing the whole picture. Also the “small school sniff test” for items of lost property!” IYKYK

Really interesting episode of ⁦@BBCRadio4⁩ The Patch - from Gairloch. Why is the number of children falling in some places but rising sharply in others? Turns out rural housing is a key factor. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Thanks for having us and for the good conversation. We were particularly interested to hear about the progress on tackling violence against women and girls through cross-Executive and cross-sector action. A great example of a wellbeing approach to govt in action!

Junior Ministers Pam Cameron and Aisling Reilly met with Sarah Davidson and Hannah Paylor of @CarnegieUKTrust at Stormont Castle. They discussed the organisation’s latest report on the collective wellbeing of people here, and the ongoing work on the Executive’s draft Programme for Government.
