    If parliamentary debate descends to mere insults, it dies. But Balls is an idiot, and Cameron, who said plenty of detailed, serious things in the half-hour of Prime Minister’s Questions, cheered everyone up no end by spanking the shadow chancellor. You should have seen the grin on Labour frontbencher Liam Byrne. He loved it! Quentin Letts speaks to Gaby Hinsliff about the PMQs ‘muttering idiot’ comment and what language is acceptable in the Commons

    guardian:

    Life is tweet, says the UK’s former deputy prime minister John Prescott, as the number of people in the UK using Twitter reaches 10 million:

    Twitter is OUR media, the public have become the news editors and the Twitter trend list is the running order.

    It’s given me a voice and a connection to millions of people that the distorted prism of the mainstream media denied.
