5 recent Lib Dem tweets

>> @LouiseKPhillips I love how all the journos on twitter are giving directions to Lib Dem HQ and musing why no-one is there. Not exactly subtle, chaps.
>> @SusanGaszczak Cowley St now trending on Twitter….
>> @WillTucker Flipping heck – it’s kicking off at conservative and LibDem HQs. Students aren’t going to change the gov’s mind by kicking in a few windows
>> @alixmortimer Oh you are joking #twitterjoketrial
>> @chriskeating thinks Southern Trains should add error bars. “0907 to 0925 95% of the time Train” would be more honest than 0907 Train.
