@chalmersgirl @rosa_alba_macd @AKMacG there is really no crèche. No ad hoc childcare. There's a nursery for permanent childcare. — PolitiTweet.org

@AKMacG @heraldscotland House of Commons staff. I was told Rebecca couldn't sit at the table with me. — PolitiTweet.org

@DanielMassie what a lovely tweet! Thank you! :) — PolitiTweet.org

@ka8895 it is all about accessibility. How will change ever get made if those making the decisions cannot see the problems highlighted? — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@drcromarty so husband continued to work night shifts? who had children? — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@ka8895 @drcromarty @heraldscotland because we should have a representatitve parliament and should remove barriers to this. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@drcromarty @ka8895 @heraldscotland you're suggesting the two situations are the same. I'm pointing out they're not. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@ka8895 Absolutely it is. And I am working to make the job more accessible for those from less white, male, middle class backgrounds. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@drcromarty @ka8895 @heraldscotland it doesn't apply to me. Nor does single parent. But these things should be changed for future MPs. — PolitiTweet.org

@easypoliticsUK @ParlyApp ahh, thougt you were saying "rubbish" as in I was wrong, sorry! — PolitiTweet.org

@drcromarty partners of offshore workers struggle to do anti-social hours. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@drcromarty was one of your two workplaces 500 miles away at the time? we have similar issues to offshore workers. 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

@easypoliticsUK @ParlyApp nursery clearly telling me different things to you then. Give them a call and see what they say. — PolitiTweet.org

@drcromarty pairing system relies on another MP being willing to forgo vote and on constituents being happy with MP not voting on eg Trident — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@GovanGhirlllll @heraldscotland was delighted to follow in your footsteps :D — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@easypoliticsUK @ParlyApp nursery will only take children for a minimum of six weeks. I tried. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@GovanGhirlllll @heraldscotland I did the same in the council. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@heraldscotland This highlights inadequacies in system. Can't send a sub to vote if MP has baby. System seems impossible for single parents. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@drcromarty @ka8895 @heraldscotland NHS staff have maternity leave. MPs can't send a sub to vote if they have a baby. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@Laineymac80 @heraldscotland we need to improve this. Relatively central NHS nursery in Aberdeen. Handy for many hospital sites. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@ParlyApp Hopefully @profsarahchilds the Good Parliament report can push the House to make long overdue changes. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@DickWinchester @heraldscotland no. They haven't. I've nothing against tradition, but when it becomes seriously obstructive it needs revised — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@MhairiHunter Agreed! — PolitiTweet.org

Why workers at Wood Group are striking "they have been pushed to the limit by an employer unwilling to rethink" https://t.co/z7l1KM5jhV — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

After a ballot strongly in favour, many of my constituents who work for Wood Group will be on strike tomorrow. Will be thinking of them. — PolitiTweet.org

I love how @callum_mccaig is known by my children as 'the Callum who tickles us'. The SNP is like a massive extended family. — PolitiTweet.org

@markmcdsnp @MhairiHunter @DouglasDaniel I often find conversations on Twitter spiralling into the surreal. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@markmcdsnp @MhairiHunter ahhh, we're not supposed to let folk know that @DouglasDaniel actually runs the SNP. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@DouglasDaniel @MhairiHunter @markmcdsnp can you imagine if we suggested fptp? Yet for some reason it's okay at Westminster. — PolitiTweet.org
