        Hi @LibDems, can you please have a word with your new member. He's our local MP but has blocked us on twitter and refuses to answer our repeated emails about all the dog's muck outside the entrance to the clubhouse. One thing's for sure, we're not cleaning it up. #UpTheGreyhounds pic.twitter.com/sXOiET12wV

        It's hard to see the value that a man who got his own career so spectacularly wrong and who has annoyed all his former allies with influence will bring to a communications consultancy.

        I give it a couple of weeks before he's seriously pissed someone off. It's all down hill from there...
