@rogerlwhite The only thing vaguely political I said was that I don’t agree with Boris Johnson on much - and only because I was asked my opinion of him. I said that nonetheless, it’s possible to disagree with someone without being abusive or argumentative. — PolitiTweet.org

@rogerlwhite Given the amount of abuse I have had in the past week, I am not saying which school it was. I don’t think the school should be open to being subjected to abuse just because people don’t like my views. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@rogerlwhite I’m pretty sure this all happened before the Supreme Court judgement - certainly it was before I had heard about the judgement. Didn’t mention it, wouldn’t have anyway, and couldn’t have because it happened before the judgement. — PolitiTweet.org

@rogerlwhite Sometimes constituents come with queries or concerns about certain bits of legislation and I have to look into the issues and work out if we can do anything to help. Also part of my job in Westminster is scrutinising this legislation and I mentioned that too. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@rogerlwhite I used the UNCRC to illustrate a point - we were talking about different issues constituents come to me with. I knew they would know about the UNCRC and it would likely be the most legislation like document they had seen or learned about. — PolitiTweet.org

@rogerlwhite I spoke about what a week is like for an MP, the travelling, voting in Westminster, constituency casework, whether I had met the queen or Boris Johnson, what my dream pet is, what my hobbies are, the qualities you need to be a good MP, how I felt when I was first elected. — PolitiTweet.org

@rogerlwhite I was invited by the UK Parliament. Their education and engagement team. I spoke to p6, p6/7 and p7. They were taking part in an education outreach workshop, learning about how the UK Parliament works. MPs are regularly invited along to these events. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay Be kind to yourself. Ask someone if they're okay. Remember too, it's okay to not be okay. — PolitiTweet.org

@CounsellMitch @Books_and_Beans The central library was open yesterday morning, but i went to books and beans instead. — PolitiTweet.org

Welcome to Aberdeen, Afghan refugees. The situation in Afghanistan is truly horrifying. Thank you to Aberdeen Multicultural Society for organising this event. We must all keep doing what we can - whether that’s pressure on the UK Government, or supporting charitable efforts here. https://t.co/om7Av1Jmh2 — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkMcA38096350 Hi Mark. I’m really sorry about that. I can’t find any emails from someone with your name since 2016 and that was responded to. I would appreciate it if you could let me know which email address you sent it from? You can dm me or email [email protected] — PolitiTweet.org

You clearly do not know the first thing about children. Even young primary children are passionate and curious and interested. But they tend not to show that to those who dismiss them out of hand. Kids are amazing and deserve credit, particularly for the past 2 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

Either you don’t have kids at primary school, or primary schools wherever you are are very different to those in Aberdeen. Primary school children learn about their UNCRC rights and they are passionate about using their voices to improve their communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

At a school this morning and spoke to kids about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. I am so glad that our bairns know about their rights, and it's shocking that the devolution settlement means our parliament doesn't have the power to protect those rights. — PolitiTweet.org
