It’s #TransDayOfVisibility and UK Gov are choosing to let down all of the LGBT people have suffered or will go on to suffer this horrendously abusive practice. — PolitiTweet.org

The UK Government have decided banning torture is not a priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

We are ready to help. But despite the Scottish Government’s benefit uprating, the Scottish child payment, the bedroom tax mitigation, we don’t yet have the powers to do everything. Every day the UK Government fails to step up, the cost of living crisis will cut more deeply. /ends — PolitiTweet.org

The last few years have been incredibly difficult, for everyone, and we are now set for an even more dramatic time with families and individuals who are already struggling to make ends meet facing even worse hardship due to spiralling prices. — PolitiTweet.org

We don’t always get a successful outcome, and we can’t always solve the problem, but we always do what we can and try our utmost to assist. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

We have helped thousands of people with council house repairs, visa problems, homelessness, food bank referrals, NHS complaints, policy queries, and many, many other requests for assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Over the last 2520 days my staff have worked tirelessly, responding to phone calls, emails, social media requests and personal visits. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work 🙏 — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

Some of those cases are issues we have been helping people with for years. Some are one-off campaign type emails from constituents. Some people have a number of different cases, one for each different issue. — PolitiTweet.org

This week we hit 24,000 cases since I was elected in 2015. That’s an average 9.5 new cases for every single day I’ve been an MP. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

You also do not need to submit readings if you are on a prepayment meter. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

I just raised this in the House of Commons. I would also urge @ofgem to keep an eye on this evolving situation. Energy customers are being hammered anyway, website failures cannot be allowed to compound the situation. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

Thank you to @MartinSLewis and @WhichUK for these reassurances. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

You don’t need to do this if you are on a fixed term contract or have a smart meter, but it is probably still wise to take a picture so you have a record. You can email it to yourself to record the date. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

It is #MeterReadingDay If you cannot access your energy company’s website DON’T PANIC. Please take a picture of your energy meter today so you have a record and also attempt to submit as soon as possible over the next few days. https://t.co/hZ4vahh7eS — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@littlelauzbabe @WhichUK Will try that! — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@eastybeasty2 @JudeHotButton Will add, thanks — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

Oh, sorry, @judehotbutton also mentioned Octopus, I'll add that one in. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

Okay, in the 8 minutes since I posted this I've had reports of the following websites having issues: Eon, EDF, Scottish Power, Shell, British Gas, SSE. Going to raise this at Business Questions shortly - have I missed anyone? FYI, @WhichUK — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

Hi @edfenergy lots of people will be trying to submit meter readings today before the price increase. How are you going to ensure customers can do this when the My Account section of your website is down? https://t.co/xzxGBR0Zah — PolitiTweet.org
