@McWilliamNeil I’m sorry about that.Have you contacted my office? We have written to ACC about a number of concerns on behalf of constituents. Also various other orgs & businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@McWilliamNeil From the House of Commons. But these are time limited. We couldn’t take home the large printer and there are data protection issues with using home laptops or personal phones to store constituent data. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@McWilliamNeil So far I have bought a printer (~£329) hopefully can replace our big printer in the office. Also have brought a headset - probably cheaper than a phone so I can use my laptop to make calls. Thankfully we have been able to borrow a couple of laptops. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@McWilliamNeil But I will provide the service my constituents expect and I will fulfil my H&S obligations to my staff members. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@McWilliamNeil Why would I have an office at home? I live a few minute’s drive from the office. I don’t own a printer, nor do any of my staff. I do everything by email. But some of my constituents write me letters and don’t have email addresses. I won’t be spending anywhere near £10k — PolitiTweet.org

@HMRadioUK They’re welcome to hang around all they like. They’d probably get a good view of me in my pyjamas. — PolitiTweet.org

@colinwilliamfar Sorry to hear that, I’ve never had a problem. (I’ve had it A LOT) But the treatment only works if it’s caught super early. If you had had the rash a wee while there’s little point so could be that reason? — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

For those nosy people among you, shingles. I’ve had it before and I know it’s best to get it treated early to reduce likelihood of long term after effects. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

Just had a GP video consultation. Thank you so much @NHSGrampian and your staff for putting in these flexible working measures that mean I can have an urgent consultation by video for an urgent (thankfully non-serious) matter. You are all heroes 🦸‍♀️ 🦸‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

My grandparents have plenty of years left in them. But like all older people they’re at higher risk of serious complications from Covid-19. In order for us all to have those future years to spend with our parents and grandparents, we need to Stay Home this weekend. Please. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

In years gone by my brother and I marked Easter with our grandparents, on the beach at an early morning service in Macduff. We won’t be seeing our grandparents this year, nor will anyone be attending services on the beach. — PolitiTweet.org
