@Forthebeats1 Some of us have been using Windows since 3.1. The quick access folder and recent files was a wonderful innovation - no matter when it was introduced. — PolitiTweet.org

The quick access section is one of the best changes Microsoft has ever made to Windows. — PolitiTweet.org

@lucy_ande Dead? In jail? Not every single parent family is single parent because of an amicable break up. Nobody is asking the state to pay for MP’s childcare. — PolitiTweet.org

@brownboots23 Indeed. And most mothers of newborns get maternity leave and their job is covered by maternity cover. Not MPs. — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlieAdam7 @profsarahchilds But Stella Creasy is. — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlieAdam7 @profsarahchilds This is not an issue with childcare. It’s an issue with maternity leave. If MPs were entitled to maternity leave it wouldn’t be an issue. They’re not, so it is. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@CharlieAdam7 @profsarahchilds That's not true. When the baby is only a few weeks/months old, the vast majority of employers have someone cover the role during maternity leave. The role still gets done, just by someone else on a temporary basis. — PolitiTweet.org

In a field of many grim comments, this is particularly spectacular. What should an MP do if they have a baby? "Stand down" — PolitiTweet.org

@KirstySNP @NashSGC Then stand down and let a bi-election happen. You are rewarded handsomely whilst you do work.… https://t.co/PQ2uystmb0

@b1570c7168eb48b @NashSGC Though if you'd like to lobby for MPs to get proper maternity leave, I'm all for that. Having returned to work before my son was 4 weeks old (as a councillor - again no maternity leave), I know exactly how hard it is. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@b1570c7168eb48b @NashSGC MPs don't get maternity leave. That's the point. There is only one MP for each area. There's not a substitute who backfills when an MP has a baby. If an MP wants to represent their constituents in a debate they have to be there, whether or not their child is a newborn. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@b1570c7168eb48b @NashSGC You have no idea what you are talking about. There is a nursery on the estate. There is not a creche. You can find fee and eligibility details for the nursery here: https://t.co/zvl20izAdA — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlieAdam7 @profsarahchilds Most working mothers (I concede not all) get maternity leave. We can't send someone else in our place. There is only one MP for each region. If an MP is breastfeeding a small baby, how should they represent their constituents in parliament? — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlieAdam7 @profsarahchilds Expand free early learning and childcare to 1 and 2 year olds – starting in this Parliament with children from low-income households. — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlieAdam7 @profsarahchilds This year, we will publish a 5‑year delivery plan, undertake an evaluation of pilot projects to inform full implementation, and establish a public panel, including parents, carers, children and young people. — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlieAdam7 @profsarahchilds Professor Childs is not an MP. Childcare is a devolved matter and the SNP in Holyrood are doing loads of good things. Here's what it says in our most recent Programme for Government. "Build a new system of wraparound childcare for school age children.... — PolitiTweet.org

@b1570c7168eb48b @NashSGC How else would you suggest a breastfeeding MP represents their constituents in the House of Commons? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@b1570c7168eb48b @NashSGC There isn't free childcare at HoC. We are talking about a small, breastfed baby, not a 3 year old. The baby is far better behaved than many MPs. — PolitiTweet.org

@EmmazingTings Hiya! If you send me an email my staff will be able to either help or point you in the right direction to someone who can help. [email protected] — PolitiTweet.org

I have said before, it would be impossible to be an MP and a single parent of small children. How can we call ourselves a representative democracy if swathes of the population are excluded from holding office? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
I mean what even was the point in the Good Parliament report?! Regressive moves like this must be so disappointing for those like @profsarahchilds who have worked so hard to try to drag parliament into being a more modern workplace. — PolitiTweet.org

.@AlanBrownSNP, in bill committee: the point you are making about loans does not apply here because it relates to clause 19 Minister: well we will just have to agree to disagree Alan: except I’m right 🤣 — PolitiTweet.org

Okay, I'm out. That was a slog and a half. the PM continues to be embroiled in a sleaze scandal, he makes car noises in front of a group of high profile, renowned business people. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
"I've never been anything other than business's number one fan" states the PM who said "F**k business". Is this a joke? — PolitiTweet.org

He said triangle then corrected himself to "inverted triangle". — PolitiTweet.org
