Cameron too much twitBy Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982

Why is David Cameron not on Twitter? Because, he says:

“It’s too instantaneous…too many twits might make a twat”.

Too instantaneous? Doesn’t the job of Prime Minister require a little thinking on your feet, a little interaction, a little more, shall we say, statemanship?

Probably, but according to Cameron:

“the public are pissed off.”

Anything goes, then, eh, Dave?

Actually I think this is pretty amusing, and it’s good that Cameron is trying to portray an ordinary side. He’s still after that White Van Man, after all.

    If someone had told me a year ago that Ken Livingstone would be the first politician in the world to announce a policy by text message frankly I wouldn’t have believed them. Neither would I have believed them if they’d told me Ken Livingstone would be the first British politician to have a bespoke social media site created which tracks member activity and uses pioneering methods which has resulted in record levels of activists out on the streets. The truth [...]

    The launch of Liberal Left is to be welcomed

    By Neal Lawson

    The launch of Liberal Left is to be welcomed. Anything that challenges the Centre-right voting block of the Coalition is clearly a good thing.  Anything that helps develop centre-left relationships as an alterative now, tomorrow or in the future to a Conservative led government is to be welcomed.  With Labour currently struggling to maintain a healthy poll lead it would be stupid not to look for political partners outside of Labour’s ranks. But there is more than electoral necessity at [...]

    By Mark Ferguson

    There’s an interesting post by Rafael Behr over at the New Statesman today about the possibility of Labour MPs standing down from Parliament to run either as mayoral candidates or police commissioners. According to Behr, much of the interest is around Birmingham: “Two names often cited as possible candidates for the Birmingham mayoralty are Liam Byrne, shadow work and pensions secretary and MP for the city’s Hodge Hill constituency, and Gisela Stuart, MP for Edgbaston. Of the two, fans of [...]

    By Mark Ferguson

    A new Lib Dem group – Liberal Left – have announced their launch today. The group is opposed to Lib Dem membership of the coalition, and appeared avowedly pro-Labour. Their launch statement includes the phrase: “A future coalition with Labour and others on the liberal left is more likely to secure Liberal Democrat goals than a further coalition with the Conservatives and we should actively work to make that possible.” More on this at The Guardian.
