Warsi on religion, John Prescott's singing, Scotland's divorce from England and British drinking culture all contributed to a busy week on Twitter.
On Monday the Prime minister wagged his finger at Britain's anti-social drinking culture, Twitter took offence.
David Cameron stormed Edinburgh waving the union flag. Twitter blew a collective raspberry.
John Prescott announced his candidacy for the Police commissioner's job for Humberside, grabbed attention with a video of him singing on stage and ended his week with a strong appearance on Question time. Twitter was impressed.
Lady Warsi's call to fight "intolerant secularism" and "give faith a seat at the table" in the UK ensured she was given a warm welcome by the Vatican but Twitter was not so generous.
