I think this suggests England is doing better than Scotland, but Scotland's 68.9% performance is against a target of 95%. England's performance against a 95% target will be significantly lower than Scotland's. Wales's target is 20% lower than Scotland's so their figure is much worse than suggested.

I am just a microscopist with social anxiety. But seeing #Covid impact on the brain through the lenses of the microscope has affected me. It’s hard not to feel for the millions sick everywhere. Below is a 2021 video about our research. Can we please keep talking about #LongCovid?

The monarchy costs enough to fund free school meals for over a million children - every year. But instead of feeding kids, we're choosing to fund crowns, carriages and courtiers. #AbolishTheMonarchy #NotMyKing

Tomorrow, voters in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse will have first say on the choice that all of us in Scotland will face next year: #VoteSNP to stop the party of Nigel Farage. Let’s not give the far-right a foothold. Vote SNP to keep The Scottish Parliament Farage-free.
