Your wrong Tim, DC was correct with what he said last time, this has too many pit falls and he has enough to cope and contend with at the mo without adding any more.

[Lord Levy 's Manservant]

Can you not take a hint ? Do you not realise that David Cameron is telling you, as politely as he can, that he is not interested in you or your policy pitches.

[jude]

no no no David don't do it!!You haven't got the time! Tim- why not encourage others who have got time and obvious inclination.David can still communicate quickly and easily in other ways, but he has more important things to do eg talking to people face to face mmm?

[It doesn't add up...]

It would give Brown the perfect excuse to re-employ Damien McBride as his personal secret twitter soundbite drafter.

The video didn't work for me for more that 4 seconds at a time but from the comments so far it shows that Cameron is a serious statesman not a twit or a tw@.

Good for him!

[Patrick Benson]

Dear old Dave tried so hard to get a retro-laugh for his pathetic joke at Absolute FM. 'Too many tweets make a twat'. Then he tried again. No laughs.
Tragic.

[Patrick Benson]

Besides which, Tim, you are absolutely correct.

Any one of those smug dollies that traipse around with Dave could do it for him.

Just as one of Boris's dollies does it for him.

Mr Cameron came across very well there imho but Time is probably right that doing Twitter would be a good idea.

[David Parker]

It is not often that I agree with Cameron, but here he is right. Twittering is often about glib, off the cuff comments which can easily be misinterpreted. Great fun for the chattering classes, but best avoided by serious politicians.

[Jack Stone]

Agree with you totally.

[Nicholas Keen]

For once, I find myself agreeing totally with Mr Cameron. Twitter is definitely uncool, and will likely vanish as quickly as it came about as those using it realize that it doesn't provide the anticipated ego sustenance. Who wants to follow someone's poorly thought out and truncated ramblings throughout the day? We need more structured thought, not less. That said, I'd better shut up.

If only these Twitterers realized how unprofessional, facile and ridiculous they appear. Besides, who'd want to keep the same company as Sarah Brown?

Cameron's got right idea… stay right out of it and cultivate gravitas (or 'bottom' as it used to be called).

Leave the twittering to the birds
