Political week on Twitter
All the week's top political tweets in one handy location.
The constitutional spot of bother between Westminster and Holyrood over the terms of the Scottish independence referendum dominated the week's headlines.
I can't understand the ire over the Scottish Referendum. Legally, Holyrood has no automatic right to have one anyway.

What Alex Salmond doesn't realise is that Mel Gibson is gonna stage a coup immediately they get independence anyway 🙂

If we give Scotland independence, we'll only have to invade it for its oil #bbcqt

Struggling Labour leader Ed Miliband took the opportunity of a new year to relaunch his leadership.
The more Ed Miliband talks about how to fix Britain’s economy, the less voters listen econ.st/App2Y9

Ed Miliband increasingly has the air of a supply teacher about him.

Ed Miliband shouldn't feel bad. In September 2010 the entire Labour party accidentally misspelt "David".

And, in a rather unexpected turn of events, former Man U footballer Eric Cantona decided to turn his hand to politics. At least, we thought he was going to.
Well done King Eric Cantona for highlighting the awful housing situation facing the poor in France; not much different over here.

Eric Cantona would be the greatest prime minister of all time…. FACT!

Worst news of the day: Eric Cantona's 'presidential bid' was a PR stunt bit.ly/wEgyly

"Certainly take the advice of others but always, always be yourself." – Let's kick-off Friday with the legendary Eric Cantona, shall we?
