It's back: Parliament Spy 2.0!

It was with much sorrow that Guido lamented the passing of the excellent Parliament Spy Twitter account:

Guido has been most amused with the Parliament Spy twitter account that was gaining quite the cult following in the village for its erudite and irreverent exposing of MPs eating habits and choice of hot caffeinated beverages. It was catty and witty, and exactly what was needed to keep Westminster’s finest looking over their shoulder. Obviously MPs were getting hot under the collar about their baked potato habits and afternoon drinking sessions being revealed. Most intriguing was the reporting of who was dining with which journalist and where. The whole operation was clearly run by bored Parliamentary researchers.

So hats off to the bag carriers who had the cojones to resurect the scheme under the name of “Eye Spy MP”, residing at @eyespymp:

Researchers and other tea room/Strangers’ Bar lurkers can send 140-character sightings in the subject line of an email to tweet AT eyespy DOT mp

Should precipitate some interesting blog posts!
