>> @ExtraBold If Ed Milliband wants our ideas today, why couldn’t he agree with them on the 10th May when it mattered? #labourfail
>> @nickcarthew Most journos couldn’t be ‘bothered’ with the LDs before the GE so now have a steep learning curve & are making lots of wrong assumptions.
>> @phil_reilly Just got my pay slip and worked out I would be paying nearly £50 less per month for my student loan under the new system. #justsaying
>> @thomasbrake After great day in Oldham & Saddleworth, ran into Prezza at m/way services. He turned down our offer of real ale and fled to his jag.
>> @andyreeves I will be holding a raffle at our wedding, just to warn everyone
