Online Safety Bill Committee stage starts this week with four jam packed witness sessions. I’m going to be focussing on making this legislation work better - both by future proofing and by ensuring govt understands how people actually use the internet. — PolitiTweet.org

It was a pleasure to visit Early Bird Vending last week. Their coffee is fabulous and we had a really good discussion about the issues facing small businesses in these difficult times. We talked a lot about the importance of buying local too. https://t.co/b3vYvyMQRB — PolitiTweet.org

Massive congratulations to all who have worked so hard to get us here. There’s more to do but we are building from a very solid foundation. — PolitiTweet.org

The contrast between the Scottish system founded on the principles of dignity, fairness and respect, and the demeaning, dehumanising DWP system could not be more stark. — PolitiTweet.org

This afternoon I have written to @KemiBadenoch inviting her to visit a foodbank in my constituency so that she can see the reality of the hardship individuals and families are facing as a result of this Tory made Cost of Living Crisis. https://t.co/gsyStWbPjj — PolitiTweet.org

@Samwitch11 I sometimes wear my dinosaur dress to work. It’s okay to do something nice for yourself that will make you smile. Every time you go to bed now you will smile. That’s worth $15. https://t.co/1KERVX4its — PolitiTweet.org

@PaulaCoyscot Thank you 😊 — PolitiTweet.org

Can anyone explain the last line of this poem to me please? Does it mean that one of the things you do when there’s a new baby is have a drink to celebrate? https://t.co/6q1WD9pRoq — PolitiTweet.org

Although this is welcome, “soon” could be more helpful. I’m following up to try to get more accurate information. I know this is a particular problem for Woodside residents and I’d like to see the Customer Access Point operating again as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

I wrote to Aberdeen City Council recently about when they intend to reopen the customer access points. I have received the following response. https://t.co/cgrlmel2lL — PolitiTweet.org

@PaulaCoyscot @wgsaraband It’s too alien a concept. They can’t comprehend. — PolitiTweet.org

@DylanPeterhead @PeterGrantMP This is what I meant when I said “no matter where they reside” in my earlier tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@DylanPeterhead @PeterGrantMP A specific line in the law relating to MPs. And MSPs in fact. https://t.co/aWB7iCurCK https://t.co/pGfZmhUApc — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@DylanPeterhead @PeterGrantMP It’s literally in the legislation. All MPs for Scottish constituencies pay the Scottish rate of income tax no matter where they reside. I imagine your accountant would have a good grip on the legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

@g00ddamage Thank you. I am sorry for misunderstanding. — PolitiTweet.org

@simonjcurran1 I’ve never been to her constituency but if she told me some of her constituents couldn’t afford food I’d believe her. 🤷 — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@g00ddamage I have no problem being criticised. I have a very big problem with the party in power refusing to believe that some of my constituents cannot afford food. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

I don’t care that she withdrew it afterwards. It clearly shows that the UK Government does not give a toss about the desperate issues facing individuals and families up and down these islands right now, today. — PolitiTweet.org

How dare anyone stand at that dispatch box and accuse someone of lying. — PolitiTweet.org

She was making the case that the Queens Speech is great and the tories have paid quite enough out to people in the last few years thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

Me: if the Conservative Government have done so many wonderful things how come my constituents can’t afford to eat? Kemi Badenoch: the honourable member is being disingenuous — PolitiTweet.org
