I have noted how lucky I am, but it is the case that all employers have a responsibility to care for the health of their employees. — PolitiTweet.org

I am both lucky and pleased that I have been supported to undertake a phased return to the hectic full Westminster duties. As next week is budget week, in addition to a Procedure Committee meeting, I've been in a lot of budget briefings this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, I stepped back from the Depute Leader role and had some time with reduced Westminster duties due to my health. I have been continuing with constituency duties during this time. I have also continued to attend the two parliamentary committees I am on. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cat5weaver I am so glad. I worked for Brian Adam on and off for 7 years. His ethos and approach to casework and constituents strongly shaped the way I support my constituents. Brian was the best among us and I wish he was here to see the progress the SNP has made in the last 8 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Where can they go for support when a loved one is stuck in a foreign country and the U.K. Government is doing nothing to get them home? We are providing a very, very important service for people and this study fails to display any understanding, or respect, for that. — PolitiTweet.org

Where else can those with visa queries go to find out why the home office hasn’t replied to them for 9 months and is still holding on to their passport? Where else can folk go to get a response from HMRC or DWP when they’re not answering the phone? — PolitiTweet.org

Would a study like this have been done into doctor’s surgeries? Or the fire service? Or city council? This utterly undervalues the work we do in our constituencies - which is the most important part of our job, in my opinion. — PolitiTweet.org

A massive increase in casework and doing everything we can to help people who are experiencing immediate crisis. To discover we may have spent our finite time dealing with fake correspondence when we cd have been assisting those who desperately need help is a kick in the teeth. — PolitiTweet.org

@MForstater @ZombieTron @LancsK8 @DrFlob @IndyBlether Because Karen looks female enough? Because she wears a skirt? Because she has breasts? But what if she has a penis? You are saying that there needs to be a definition and everyone should stay in their box but you're not making any suggestion about what that definition should be — PolitiTweet.org

@MForstater @ZombieTron @LancsK8 @DrFlob @IndyBlether So why should Karen have to use the male facilities? Should she have to use the male facilities? Is it about genitals or not? — PolitiTweet.org

@MForstater @ZombieTron @LancsK8 @DrFlob @IndyBlether Maya, you think that Karen is as male as Kevin, because she was born with the same genitals. Or if there's some other criteria you're using, please, tell me what it is. How are you going to exclude all those you want to exclude while including all those you want to include? — PolitiTweet.org

@Mumoftwo1329 @MForstater @LancsK8 @DrFlob @IndyBlether Who has proposed changes to GRA that mean that "any male who says he's a woman" is a woman? And, even if they did, which they're not, how would that have any effect on use of changing rooms or bathrooms? — PolitiTweet.org

@ZombieTron @MForstater @LancsK8 @DrFlob @IndyBlether No, I am saying that Maya's approach only works if either you're going to karyotype, genitally examine, or simply discriminate on the basis of how you believe someone looks. — PolitiTweet.org

@MForstater @LancsK8 @DrFlob @IndyBlether So why should Karen also be banned from using the loos? Nobody at the workplace knows which genitals Karen was born with. Or because Karen looks female enough, is she okay? Is it on the basis of how female you believe someone looks? Or is it the shape of their genitals? — PolitiTweet.org

@MForstater @LancsK8 @DrFlob @IndyBlether Would Karen make them feel uncomfortable? Why should she be excluded from women's loos? She 'looks' like a woman. Is that the criteria? — PolitiTweet.org

@MForstater @LancsK8 @DrFlob @IndyBlether So let's agree he would make female employees feel uncomfortable if he used the loos. Are the women uncomfortable because Kevin has a penis? Or because patriarchical society is shit. — PolitiTweet.org

@MForstater @LancsK8 @DrFlob @IndyBlether Maya, there is no definition you can come up with that includes everyone you want to include, excludes everyone you want to exclude, and doesn't involve some sort of genital examination or examination of chromosomes. If you can come up with one, please do! Nobody has so far. — PolitiTweet.org

@MForstater @LancsK8 @DrFlob @IndyBlether She wasn't born with female genitals. How are you going to stop her using the ladies? Why should anyone stop her using the ladies? Nobody at the workplace knew her under her deadname. She's been living as a woman for 30 years. — PolitiTweet.org

@MForstater @LancsK8 @DrFlob @IndyBlether I'm making some presumptions about Kevin here, but I assume he presents as a bloke, lives as a bloke, is, therefore, a bloke. And so doesn't use the ladies. Why shouldn't Karen, who has worked there for five years, and is a woman, use the ladies? She doesn't produce large gametes — PolitiTweet.org
