Now the election has been called and your MP is no longer an MP (for the time being) we have dispensed with their weekly column.

Instead, for those who cannot do without their weekly dose, and in deference to the social media revolution sweeping the corridors of power we give you a Week of Political Tweets compiled by Political Reporter Tom Edwards.

@JabbaRiaz "Good warm-up session with the old guard @philmackie and new crop @AlextankParker @OldvigorniansCC."
