@Kek20To @andrealouise111 @Permanentlypis1 @shaunjlawson I'm not trying to hide details of this stuff, I just don't think it's appropriate to talk about it. I don't want to normalise it. I don't offer comment. Others do and that is absolutely up to them - I am not criticising that approach. I don't want a situation where my kids — PolitiTweet.org

@stroppiest I’m not gonna lie, my big child is very, very happy that there’s no schooling at the start of next week. My small one not so much. — PolitiTweet.org

Whether that’s rejigging the order of google classroom, changing how tasks are prioritised, giving better feedback, providing pick up times for jotters. They have gone above and beyond. — PolitiTweet.org

The continual self evaluation from schools has been very good and communication with parents has been better than ever. In my experience schools have been so flexible and have taken on board parental concerns and made changes as needed. — PolitiTweet.org

This does not accord with the experiences I’ve had & have heard. The recovery curriculum put in place in August was excellent & bairns have continued to learn throughout. Tech has been provided too. Teachers have gone to massive efforts. Douglas Ross hasn’t read the room here. — PolitiTweet.org

@xrichyx2 @McHaggis9 However we have mitigated bedroom tax, provided grants particularly for those with young children, at various points. We are doing what we can. We need Tory austerity to end so that people can afford to live. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@xrichyx2 @McHaggis9 Yup. The rise of food banks is horrendous. Aberdeen has been really hard hit recently. Unfortunately in Holyrood we can’t legislate to increase the minimum wage, keep universal credit uplift, backdate UC interest rate uplift, increase legacy benefits in line with UC uplift. — PolitiTweet.org

@andrealouise111 @Kek20To @Permanentlypis1 @shaunjlawson I have reported a number of threatening and abusive messages toward myself. Police Scotland have been very good at dealing with my reports. I don’t want to say anything about what safety measures were employed. — PolitiTweet.org

@roswh Can you please explain to me the impact self id will have on the lives of non-trans women? — PolitiTweet.org

@roswh There have been two consultations and the draft bill was published. — PolitiTweet.org

@LeanneTervit Can you tell me a difference there will be for women should the Scot gov’s self ID draft bill become law? — PolitiTweet.org

@known_woman It is not “perfectly obvious”. People get it wrong and people who are already more likely to be abused face further abuse as a result. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@known_woman No I’m not. Your brand of feminism drags us backwards. Women and our allies have fought for decades for our rights to dress and present as we please. We shouldn’t have to all be femme in order to avoid being abused, questioned, or ejected from changing rooms. — PolitiTweet.org

@known_woman @Snewsma What identification currently needs to be provided to access a changing room? Btw the most public (council) swimming changing rooms in Aberdeen are mixed already. — PolitiTweet.org

@katbalmy Really? You are suggesting I caused a man to send a violent threat to a woman? How? I would tend to think that the person responsible for sending the threat was the one who sent it. — PolitiTweet.org

Kirsty Blackman @KirstySNP

@katbalmy You: how dare you not condemn the threat Me: I did You: you didn’t mean it! You: you’re a hypocrite And folk say that those who are pro GRA reform only engage in debate in bad faith. — PolitiTweet.org
