Which mps are on twitter

Have you ever asked a politician a question on Twitter? And did you get a reply? While many British MPs are fans of the platform for broadcasting their messages to the nation, it seems few use it to have a conversation.

The think tank's stats shine a light on the three biggest parties' leaders. Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Democrats Nick Clegg tweeted 48 times in total, of which seven were " replies".

Mr Paterson, who had represented North Shropshire since , resigned on Thursday after a hour debacle. He had been saved from potential suspension by Tory colleagues despite being found to have breached lobbying rules. The UK Government had backed an amendment put down by the former Leader of the Commons, Dame Andrea Leadsom, which would have prevented Mr Paterson's immediate suspension by launching a review of the entire disciplinary system.

The controversial plan was backed by almost Tory MPs on Wednesday, although there was a sizable rebellion. And by Thursday morning the UK Government was forced into an embarrassing U-turn amid a furious public backlash. It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers. It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
