>> @joswinson surprised & touched by lovely tweets & emails encouraging me to run for Lib Dem deputy leader – however I will not be standing
>> @annapascoe Watching Alastair Campbell on #bbcqt is like Martin Tucker trying to cling on to power in #ttoi but without the wit or novelty swearing
>> @honladymark Liberal Youth: the first ruling – external media http://goo.gl/fb/6G1JZ
>> @markpack So of the six non-ex MPs, three female and two BMEs. Good to see party doing a bit to balance the overall Parliamentary parties
>> @stephen_gilbert has just sworn the oath of allegiance and made an effort at doing it in Cornish too!
