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.

Struggling Labour leader Ed Miliband took the opportunity of a new year to relaunch his leadership.

"People aren’t laughing at Ed Miliband. They’re laughing at all of us. The entire British Left" - Yes. blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/danhodges… — blind cyclists union (@blindcyclists) January 13, 2012

Ed Miliband increasingly has the air of a supply teacher about him. — Simon Blackwell (@simonblackwell) January 10, 2012
Ed Miliband shouldn't feel bad. In September 2010 the entire Labour party accidentally misspelt "David". — John Lister (@johnlister) January 6, 2012
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. — Jeremy Corbyn MP (@jeremycorbyn) January 11, 2012
Eric Cantona would be the greatest prime minister of all time.... FACT! — Ben MTI (@xMoreThanInkx) January 13, 2012
Worst news of the day: Eric Cantona's 'presidential bid' was a PR stunt bit.ly/wEgyly — Jonathan Haynes (@JonathanHaynes) January 10, 2012
"Certainly take the advice of others but always, always be yourself." - Let's kick-off Friday with the legendary Eric Cantona, shall we? — FIFA Online 2 (@FifaOnlineII) January 6, 2012
