  • “@BrighidBB: @benarchibald the only thing I've ever tried to steal is that plate from your granny's funeral!” << Classy bird #
  • Come into my coalition said the spider to the fly #political #comedy #
  • Is a wuss can't handle his drink at all. #
  • Holy shit. I think we may have just rejected AV. #No2AV #

  • Sonia Butterworth, eh? I may consider watching ITV in the mornings. #letch #
  • The most repeated phrase in UK politics: Sunderland Labour Hold #
  • Vote 2011 with the Dimbleby is on. #
  • How many LibDems are heavily wishing Paddy Ashdown was still their leader? #
  • YAB is a complete sodding disgrace. no better than Anjem Choudary. #
  • #bbcqt Douglas Murray quite right that this has nothing to do with the Geneva Conventions. Legitimate assault on an enemy commander. #
  • #bbcqt Burnham #fail #
  • Philip Hammond playing the straight game here. Correct answer. Alibhai Brown as utterly wrong as usual. #bbcqt #
  • #bbcqt live tweeting is fun. Loving Douglas Murray. How do you fairly try someone like bin Laden? #
  • AV referendum: No fucking exit poll? #
  • The only tragedy of Bin Laden's death was that he died before he could tweet about AV. #No2AV #meh2av #yes2AV #
  • Approaching Belfast, mountains shrouded in very low cloud. Jesus the City Hospital is an eyesore. #
  • When is the referendum to be counted? #
  • In disgust at the lies peddled by the #No2AV campaign I intend to put a big X in the box beside No. Bastards. #
  • New blog posting, An ockhamite approach to AV – http://tinyurl.com/3qzg9lt #
  • I walked in to do my PowerPoint presentation earlier, but a woman in the front row was wearing a #No2AV badge so I just did a speech. #

  • Waiting for Edamame and Gyoza… Miso soup has arrived. #
  • I shall be voting in Bangor, North Down today, and I shall be voting #NO2AV and giving a high preference to Stephen Agnew, leader of Greens. #
  • Voting #no2av today will send a powerful message to Ed Miliband that his priorities are arseways. #
  • Voting Labour today will send no message at all to anyone, since it's a local gov election in the middle of a cuts round hence predictable #
  • “@choiroffuries: @benarchibald it's people like you who make me feel sick.” < Maybe you should fuck off then. #

  • The lack of a public lobby in Dáil Éireann ensures it'll be distant from people. Compare that with the UK. #

  • Mick Wallace must have discovered oil in Afghanistan. #vinb #
  • Mick Wallace is utterly pig ignorant on US foreign policy. #vinb #
  • Eddie Izzard contemplating running for Mayor of London. BoJo will crush him. #
  • Laurie Penny must be a plant. Some sort of vegetation, anyway. #
  • I hate to say it, but I sorta almost agree with La Dorries, though of course only if other, hotter forms of birth control are taught. #
  • Ed Miliband will be always be contaminated by the #yes2AV #fail . Bet he wishes he had shared a stage with Calamity Clegg now. #
  • I predict a kicking for Cons at the Local election tomorrow, but not on the scale of the win on #No2AV #

  • Looks like #Yes2AV is going to get a sound kicking. That'll be nice. #
  • #No2Huhne #
  • A psychotherapist friend of mine told me today I am a bully. She said no more after I stole her lunch money and gave her a wrist burn. #
