Politicians’ Twitter feeds can be excruciating at the best of times, but during an election campaign the tedium has a tendency to surge beyond this mole’s wildest dreams (#labourdoorstep, anyone?). Hang tight, everyone – only a few more weeks to go.

“The best leader Scottish Labour will never have,” as she’s apparently known to some in Labour HQ also bucks the trend when it comes to social media. Last night, she broke in on a pompous and self-aggrandising little exchange between David Cameron and the actual Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy with this little gem:
