All the week's best political tweets in one handy location.
The Leveson inquiry
@mrstevenallen – Enjoying the hacking enquiry with Hugh Grant, Steve Coogan, Sienna Miller, Sheryl Gascoigne & Max Mosley. When do we get to vote one off?
@EvanHD – Schools should sit their children down to watch the #Leveson testimony. It's a) gripping and b) would help them understand what they read.
@rowandavies – #Leveson really is the best-looking public inquiry EVER. Just a never-ending stream of cute people with lovely hair.
@psmith – Can someone explain to Leveson enquiry that refute means disprove not deny.
@richardpbacon – Elle Macpherson effectively had her non-alcoholic business advisor sectioned in a grade A psychiatric facility for alcoholics. #YouWhat?
@politics_co_uk – Hugh Grant defines press attitude to celebrity coverage: "You sold me your milk, you slut."
@benarchibald – Max Moseley describes Paul Dacre's comment on 'unimaginable depravity' as a poor reflection on Dacre's imagination. Brilliant.
Public sector pension strikes
@ianvisits – If strikes costs jobs, then so does Christmas Day. Oliver Cromwell was right to ban it!
@politibat – Cameron calling teacher strikes illegitimate because of only 25% turnout. He became PM with 23.5% of the public vote. Hmm.
@ns_mehdihasan – "Most" public sector workers "did not vote for" strikes, says PM. But "most" people in this country didn't vote for him to be PM
@LouiseMensch – A nurse retiring on £34k moves *up* from £17k pension to £22k pension – and still the strikes. That's irresponsible.
@DocHackenbush – Remember kids, Royal Wedding = Patriotic Day Off Work/School. Strike Action = END OF ALL LIFE AS WE KNOW IT. #nov30
Question Time
@alexmassie – CEO of Sainsbury's earns in a year what Carlos Tevez is paid in two months. Outrageous! #bbcqt
@fleetstreetfox – NOTW did not close because readers abandoned it but because it's advertisers did. It's final edition had a massive sale. Sorry. #bbcqt
@jw_smith – I hope someone in the audience shouts "citation needed" whenever Jimmy Wales says something. #bbcqt
@DIMBLEBOT – DIMBLEFACT: "WALES" DOES NOT KNOW OF A USEFUL AND RAPID WAY TO LOOK UP INFORMATION ON A TOPICAL SUBJECT #BBCQT
