I am so proud to be a member of a party that recognises this. That has the Young Person‘s Guarantee. A party that actually cares and is trying to make a real difference to the lives of so many people, young or not so young. ❤️ — PolitiTweet.org

How can we expect bairns from poorer backgrounds to succeed if we’re adding to that poverty with even more barriers? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
Too many of our communities don’t have access to good quality, fresh food nearby. Providing bikes can mean the key to a lifetime of cheap travel. It’s not just about doing wheelies with your pals (which is important too!) but about being able to access key services. — PolitiTweet.org

We shouldn’t be making life harder for these kids by failing to ensure they have access to tech and internet that the modern world relies on. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re a young carer and your family are living on the UK Govt’s crappy social security, you’re disadvantaged from the get go. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re having to get a part time job to bring money into your family and you’re still in school, you’re already finding it harder than others to find time to study. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
But it is also important that children have access to the ‘stuff’ needed to succeed in the modern world. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
Yes, you’re right, it is important that children have safe housing and enough to eat (which is why we are pledging to increase school meals and build yet more housing). — PolitiTweet.org

“Why should those who can’t afford it have bikes for their kids? Why does the SNP believe internet and laptops are a priority? Why provide baby boxes?” — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
We continue to have a culture where too many people think that those who are struggling to make ends meet are less deserving than other people. We can see in the reaction to the SNP manifesto from people who are on the right: — PolitiTweet.org

@smain64 Yum! I’ve not been to that chipper but it always smells awesome. — PolitiTweet.org

@martingfindlay It is! I’ve walked over it before but hadn’t been under it. — PolitiTweet.org

Not in my constituency, but not all that far into @StephenFlynnSNP’s. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not often I end up somewhere in Aberdeen I haven’t been before, but a bairn doing sport at this end of town meant I could have a lovely wander. Anyone know where I was? https://t.co/RgCLG2YHFZ — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@mar_vickers @business_noone @Dawn_Chorus2021 Sorry, I read it that way. I now see what you mean. I apologise. You are right that concerns have been raised about this situation, but as far as I can see not by the prison service or the courts. All very violent prisoners will require higher staffing levels, in any prison. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@mar_vickers @business_noone @Dawn_Chorus2021 That she attacked a social worker in prison. She didn’t. This was one of the crimes she was jailed for. When did courts and prison service say they can’t guarantee safety because of self id? https://t.co/Rzdjrj7Kfm — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@mar_vickers @business_noone @Dawn_Chorus2021 Except not all of that is true. What has happened is horrendous. She has committed terrible crimes. But some of what you’ve said there, and some of what has been repeated by others, isn’t true. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@mar_vickers @business_noone @Dawn_Chorus2021 As far as I understand it, Ms Kardashian was jailed for horrendous crimes and is serving a sentence because of those crimes. As with any prisoner, i assume prison authorities took steps to protect both Ms Kardashian and other prisoners when they were making their decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

@mar_vickers @business_noone @Dawn_Chorus2021 Which single sex spaces? The equality act still exists. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@business_noone @Dawn_Chorus2021 Okay, so if we accept the premise that GRA reform makes it easier to obtain a GRA (which is the point of it)... what impact does the possession of a GRC have on anyone other than the person with it? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@notoriousbigip @DoogidGolf @joannaccherry It’s irrelevant to GRA, unless the women in question are trans. In which case they’re even more likely to face abuse and sexual assault. But as far as I’m aware GRA reform doesn’t impact this stat, just means they will face less systemic abuse. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@DoogidGolf @notoriousbigip @joannaccherry It has nothing to do with GRA! I think sporting bodies should have a level of autonomy over decisions. They know their sports best. But they must obviously act in accordance with equalities and human rights legislation. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@notoriousbigip @DoogidGolf @joannaccherry Women have concerns. Women are abused and harmed, usually by men. So women are worried about that, understandably. Scot Gov have equally safe and are doing lots to tackle this - tho obvs we are not there yet, cause patriarchy. I will keep supporting this work. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@business_noone @Dawn_Chorus2021 I’m delighted to deal with the consequences that mean my trans constituents and their families and friends will be subject to less systemic discrimination and abuse. It will improve their mental health. Cis women will not be at increased risk. Everyone wins. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@Dawn_Chorus2021 @business_noone There have been two public consultations, many public polls. People want this to be reformed. How does the medical panel protect women’s rights? What do you think they do? It is a demeaning, exclusionary, discriminatory hoop that needs to be removed. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@business_noone @Dawn_Chorus2021 Yet you continue to argue against an irrelevant piece of legislation because you don’t like the idea of trans people. The GRA reform has no impact at all on any of the things you are concerned about. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@Dawn_Chorus2021 @business_noone Dawn, what you’re asking for is a rolling back of the current legislation. You’re asking for trans women not to be considered as women. This is nothing at all to do with the GRA reform, which will simply mean removal of a medical panel in the GRA process. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@DoogidGolf @notoriousbigip @joannaccherry There’s currently not a requirement to undergo surgery in order to have your gender changed on legal documents. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@business_noone Which single sex spaces? Domestic abuse shelters? They already accept trans women. Swimming pool changing rooms? Already accept trans women. Can you tell me any single sex space that will be affected by the proposed GRA changes? — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP
@DoogidGolf @notoriousbigip @joannaccherry And again, how does GRA reform have any impact on this situation? Disagreeing with this is fine, but it is not relevant in the context of the SNP’s manifesto or GRA reform. — PolitiTweet.org
