Well done @thesnp.bsky.social and NHS Scotland for getting to zero cervical cancer cases in Scotland 👏. In England, the Westminster-run NHS is promising to achieve this... by 2040.

What a great thing if Scottish Whisky was taxed less in Scotland. The increased sales to local folk and visitors may well more than compensate. And it would be great for tourism.
