Douglas Alexander joins Twitter to hear from the #LabourDoorstep

Doulgas Doorstep

By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982

Douglas Alexander, Labour’s general election co-ordinator, is joining Twitter today at @DouglasGE2010.

As Labour’s general election co-ordinator, Douglas wants to use the social media tool as exactly that: a way of communicating and engaging in dialogue about activists’ experience on the doorstep campaigning for Labour.

It’s good news that the person who is planning and managing Labour’s election campaign wants to hear from the activists out there speaking to people. It’s exactly what ministers should be doing as one of the ways of finding out what’s happening on the ground.

So, Douglas wants to hear from you. Tweet Douglas at @DouglasGE2010 and hash it to #LabourDoorstep.

Alex is the founder and CEO of The Cares Family. He was editor and first director of LabourList in 2009-2010, during which time he established the site as the number one Labour blog, and later an aide to Ed Miliband.
