I am very pleased to see that the House of Commons voted down an amendment that would stop MPs using handheld devices in the chamber. This means I can continue to enjoy Julian Huppert and Jo Swinson's tweets.
Why would anyone want to ban MPs from communicating? According to the BBC "Conservative Roger Gale said the use of Twitter would mean MPs could be subject to greater outside influence". That's very amusing in the current climate. If Mr Gale is so concerned about outside influence, I trust he will be putting in a call to David Cameron asking him to remove the over-influenced Liam Fox.
