taffetacat- I am twitter-less. I just cant succumb. It's MN or nothing for me.

TDiddy · 14/05/2010 21:36

sophable- what are strengths of Ed vs David:

environment? age? more centrist? less Blairite?

I know that he looks dishier but I am sure that is nothing to do with it

Ed M, not Balls.

cinnamontoast · 14/05/2010 21:35

According to this, Ed wants the Labour party to be bolder and more radical (sounds good to me) but wants to 'seize political territory vacated by the LibDems'. So how does that pan out? Are we talking civil liberties again/

Yes my dd sleeping naked tonight Ewe. I gave in a loong time ago.

And yes, utterly awful about Stephen Timms - I think the woman in question is a bit unhinged rather than angry about a constituency issue though.

Will look for you Soph

Ooh warm glow!
The more I think about it the more I can TOTALLY imagine it.
He's a lovely man, with integrity, and so clever.

Glad things back to normal in here.

I couldn't bear it if Ed Balls won the leadership election, I would have to send back my (very recently acquired ) membership card so any Miliband is fine by me although I would like a woman to at least run.

I am on Twitter /applejuicesnap although mainly tweeting about my pickle of a two year old who will not go to sleep tonight. She keeps getting naked, I might just give in and let her sleep naked, it won't hurt right?

Someone on Twitter was saying that all members of labour party can vote irrespective of duration of membership so fingers crossed we'll get to vote against balls a say.

Awful thing that happened today to Stephen Timms, hope he gets well soon. I can't think what could motivate an attack against an MP, they're generally pretty inoffensive in terms of constituency issues in my experience.

Thrilled about Ed. A Miliband but without any baggage. And Roy Hattersley backs him, which is a plus in my book.

Lots of tweets at the mo saying E-Mil is definitely standing - has announced it to his constituency activists in Darlington.

Beachcomber · 14/05/2010 20:40

Lord no, I'm sure it's great but have enough trouble getting any work done as it is. I dare not even find out what twitter is really. I just parasitically sook up whatever more multitasking Mners bring to the leftie thread.

policywonk · 14/05/2010 20:32

Pretty much yup
