Living with long covid in kids ... sofa thumping fury and daily calculations on what they can and can't manage. My son has recovered more than Toby here but has plateaued for more than a year. Thanks for highlighting this @guardian @LCKScotland emea01.safelinks.protection.…

Delighted Scottish Labour leader @AnasSarwar dropped by to pledge his support for our #BetterforBabies campaign to reduce poverty in families with a baby.
We look forward to working with you & your MSPs to ensure 🏴 is a place where every baby gets the best start in life.
And I’m very grateful to him, my eldest boy had this and it was picked up reasonably quickly and treated - the damage takes a long time to heal unfortunately
Barry Marshall was convinced that the Helicobacter pylori bacteria caused stomach ulcers, but no one believed him.
Since it was illegal to test his theory on humans, he drank the bacteria himself and developed ulcers within days.
He treated them with antibiotics and we on to win a Nobel prize in 2005.

Extraordinary to watch reporting of our #recession today as 'technical' and 'mild'. The economy's *felt* dire for well over a year, and GDP doesn't do that justice
Let's ask instead how we can have rising child poverty and NOT consider it a recession?!

“Vision is the most vital step in the policy process. If we don’t know where we want to go, it makes little difference that we make great progress. Yet vision is not only missing almost entirely from policy discussions; it is missing from our whole culture." Donella Meadows
This is very welcome, reinforcing the strong connection between wellbeing and sustainable development
🤝 We are delighted to announce that, from March 2024, the World Happiness Report will be published from @UniofOxford under a new partnership between @Gallup, the Wellbeing Research Centre and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

If - like me - you're busy finishing your response to the @scotgov Wellbeing & Sustainable Development Bill consultation, why not read this blog by @sophiehowe about why Scotland should establish an independent commissioner for Future Generations 🌍🧑🤝🧑💰🌳

Good morning! How is it almost the middle of February?! But there's still (just about!) time to respond to our consultation on a Wellbeing and Sustainable Development Bill. consult.gov.scot/national-pe… #ScotlandsWellbeingFramework (closes on Wednesday)
A long wait at the GPs may not be the best place to read Margaret Atwoods mediation on mortality (or it might be precisely the best place), but this is exquisite - I didn’t want it to end (which may of course be the point)

Did you spot our letter in the @BelTel over the weekend? Our director Jennifer Wallace (@Policy_Jennifer) making the case for the NI Executive to put wellbeing at the centre of its decision-making:

“Whistleblowers on what it's like to work as a Glasgow addiction nurse”
This is what my husband does (he’s not the whistleblower tho) but I can vouch for the wider impact. The govt may have made millions available but where is it? @Glasgow_Times glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/scot…

Pleasure to meet with ex-Welsh Government Minister, @JaneBryngwyn & @Hannah_Paylor from Carnegie Trust to discuss my Wellbeing & Sustainable Development Bill. Having delivered the Future Generations Act in Wales, Jane has key experience in how to ensure my bill achieves its aims.

There was a real buzz around @ScotParl this morning - it was lovely to see loads of school groups in the building learning about democracy.
But what kind of place do we want our kids & grandkids to grow up in? Good to meet with @SarahBoyack to explore this question. #Futuregen
