- One great thing about 5am starts: 7am on a Sat feels like an indulgent lie-in. #
- Today's Indy http://t.co/s1qyrj6a picking up on @libdemvoice's story y'day that David Laws is only 100% Coalition loyal b/bench Lib Dem MP. #
- Here is that original David Laws story btw: http://t.co/2eTD6B3l. No accreditation from Indy of course. #
- Whisky Galore author Compton Mackenzie's banned spy memoirs to be published (at last) http://t.co/uQy56RmD #
- Excited! Not one but TWO sequels to Hilary Mantel's Booker-winning Wolf Hall http://t.co/0pqMaXkW *applauds* #
- "I have to have my jumper back. I need my jumper back." http://t.co/CceKMmvA Countdown to #forbrydelsen2 is on: fewer than 12 hours to go 🙂 #
- Believe me, if you've not seen #xfactorusa #039;s Astro do his thang you're missing out. #
- New from me: On the dramatic similarities between The Killing and Downton Abbey. (Go with me on this.) http://t.co/SDKaZen7 #
- Not often I agree with Simon Heffer, but… 'Why on earth is it taking so long to decide whether to charge Mr Huhne?' http://t.co/v4abC5cc #
- @mjturner1975 Assume so, too. But /this long/, really? Anyway don't agree w/ trial-by-meedja so I shall stop there. in reply to mjturner1975 #
- Is it usual for a cat to sleep like this? http://t.co/BkXXtwrz #

- @markpack @artesea Are they not the same person? #shatteredillusions in reply to markpack #
- I love love love love love Rev. #thatisall #
- @JoeMurphyLondon No, no, no, you're wrong. Scrap the police, courts, juries, judges! Let's replace justice with the MoS smell test instead! in reply to JoeMurphyLondon #
- *mind boggles* RT @charlotteahenry This weekend I have mainly been @stephentall 😉 #
- @matttcasey Is it the left, or is it incumbents? in reply to matttcasey #
- @matttcasey But is that exception rather than rule? Sarkozy looking dodgy for re-election in 2012. in reply to matttcasey #
- D'you know? I've a sneaky feeling Rihanna's miming… Feel free to shout me down (but do at least try lip-synching if you do). #xfactor #
- Btw, can I point out I'm reading Political Quarterly while watching #xfactor I feel I ought to. #
- This what I'm reading btw – Mili-D's lecture on why the left is losing elections across Europe: http://t.co/z6jMtCbD Seems apt today. #

- @IainDale Never remind people of what they'll be missing, Iain 😉 in reply to IainDale #
- Esp if u say u work in 'Haitch'R > MT @RufusHound If you pronounce 'H' 'haitch' rather than 'aitch' then throw yourself into a frozen canal. #

- @caronmlindsay @sarabedford And anyway surely that's David Laws' role 🙂 in reply to caronmlindsay #
- Last week I was a bit mean about TOWIE Mark. I apologise. He is clearly a nice, genuine, emotionally intelligent guy. With abs. #iacgmoh #
