The numbers in intensive care are scary. I have not experienced the pain and suffering of losing a loved one to covid. I can’t comprehend the suffering and pain this must cause. — PolitiTweet.org

A power of work is being done. Vaccines are rolling out apace. There is light at the end of the tunnel. And that end cannot come soon enough. Hoping against hope that everything goes smoothly and we can see normality again soon, because this continues to be heartbreaking. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

Joining all of you, particularly those currently with bairns’ doing online schooling, in wishing more than ever for this to be over. Despite the darkness though, there is more light than there has been. My three grandparents all got the vaccine today. — PolitiTweet.org

@colinwilliamfar @hapsci @Cause_4_Effect @binaryschooluk Ohhh no, children care even more than other people about definitions. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@hapsci @colinwilliamfar @Cause_4_Effect @binaryschooluk My children have decided home schooling isn’t for them today, so I’m sort of killing time until they realise that following my rules is the only way to have a nice day. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@hapsci @colinwilliamfar @Cause_4_Effect @binaryschooluk So if you’re going to the shop to buy children an icicle, don’t you say “would you like an icicle?” Or do you have to say “would you like an Ice cream or an ice lolly or a calippo or some other cold melty thing?” — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@hapsci @colinwilliamfar @binaryschooluk I would be seriously disappointed if I asked for an ice cream and got a cornetto. Ice cream is what you get at @CrollaGelato — PolitiTweet.org

@binaryschooluk @colinwilliamfar @hapsci What would you call them? What’s the collective term for soleros and cornettos and mini milks and ice poles? — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@colinwilliamfar @hapsci Yes. And a cornetto. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@colinwilliamfar @hapsci Noooo, jags is perfectly acceptable. Though I have previously been criticised for my use of “icicles” instead of ice lollies. So I’m probably in no position to make pronouncements. — PolitiTweet.org

@TunaStubbs I Want My Hat Back still makes me giggle. I asked the wee one about something the other day and she denied it then said “Don’t ask me any more questions” 🤣. — PolitiTweet.org

I love finding bairns’ books I want to read over and over rather than wanting to throw them out the window after the 18th re read. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

The House That Flew Away by David’s Cali and Catarina Sobral is such a beautiful book. The pictures are gorgeous and it has a similar dry humour to I Want My Hat Back. https://t.co/kalErtI9t6 — PolitiTweet.org

I mean, as we’re all staying at home I can’t invite him to come visit Aberdeen. (He’s welcome any time though obvs). So a book is the sensible alternative, right? — PolitiTweet.org

@DM_No5 There’s no legal requirement for them to do this and many refuse. I am hoping the chancellor does something to remove the level of discretion employers have — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@mairi_claire_k Yeah some constituents had been in touch about this too. I know they can be used for holiday clubs even for bigger ones but it’s not ideal. I’m lucky mine are small enough that we will be using a childminder for some time yet. — PolitiTweet.org

I asked the Chancellor today to consider flexibility for those who have racked up large childcare voucher balances during the pandemic. He promised to look into this. 🤞🏼 — PolitiTweet.org
