Calling "Bristol" - The Twitter Tsar Wants To Hear From You.

 

Was having a chat to Kerry McCarthy MP on Twitter - and complimenting her on being made the new Twitter Tsar.

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP "Reablement" seems to be the latest silly jargon from No10. Can Disabled People just be "Enabled" please! Ask Gordon to stop it!

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP - and congrats on becoming the Twitter Tsar!

 

KerryMP@PoliticalCrip I'd never heard it, but just Googled and seems v popular in local govt. Has Gordon used it?

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP Apparently Gordon has been using it to save the NHS - so we thought we would give it a try too - http://tinyurl.com/mq7kfp

 

KerryMP@PoliticalCrip Will miss the visit to Bristol, it clashes with Labour conference. Feel free to send me a copy.

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP Do you want a T-Shirt to wear In Brighton? http://tinyurl.com/ldtn8l

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP "Reablement" seems to be the latest silly jargon from No10. Can Disabled People just be "Enabled" please! Ask Gordon to stop it!

 

KerryMP@PoliticalCrip Er, no - but if u want to write to me about campaign (or, preferably, if u have a constituent of mine aligned to it), pls do.

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP I don't need to send you a copy - the Petition is on line here http://www.politicalcripple... - do sign it... please!

 

KerryMP@PoliticalCrip But the petition is only a very crude summary of issue, and I can't sign petitions to Govt anyway as I'm a member of it!

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP Terrible aint it - having to tow the party line. ... and Alan Duncan has started to tweet too @AlanDuncanMP

 

KerryMP@PoliticalCrip Started to tweet? And stopped, by the look of it.

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP Well he did vanish rather fast after the rations Faux Par - had a bit of fun at his expense I'm afraid! http://tinyurl.com/qhyggh

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP ... and on the "Reablement" issue it seems Mr Burnham has started to use it http://tinyurl.com/muomxh can he be stopped?

 

KerryMP@PoliticalCrip From what you've sent me, looks like it's been around since at least 2002. What do you prefer again?

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP (14 Jul 2009) is what it says - it's this creeping Jargon thing us crisp hate. Like Jane Campbell said we are Canaries!

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP The Canary Reference may be a bit obscure - so this may help http://tinyurl.com/ne4nlu

 

PoliticalCrip@KerryMP As to what my preferences are ... that's rather forward! ;^)

 

At this point it seem the new Twitter Tsar became very worried about having been added to the Conservative Party Twitter list ....

 

So if you're in Bristol and want your MP to take up the Green Paper Issue and make sure that DLA and AA are safe, you know who to contact and how! ;^) http://twitter.com/KerryMP

 

Anyone in Bristol East want Kerry to take the issue up for you?  ... and what was that about a Visit To Bristol? Is Gordon Coming To Town?
