Now the election has been called and your MP is no longer an MP (for the time being) we have dispensed with their weekly column.

Instead, for those who cannot do without their weekly dose, and in deference to the social media revolution sweeping the corridors of power we give you a Week of Political Tweets compiled by Political Reporter Tom Edwards.

@barrymacg "Looking forward to Q&A with Robin Walker at The Wheatsheaf this evening, come on down if you live on Westside #Walker4Worcester."

@JoySquires "Proud to announce the very first Worcester Canal Festival and thrilled to be chairing the team planning it."

@HarriettBaldwin "Number of children in workless households at record low. More help with childcare will help lower it even more."

@CllrAHardman "Just to remind all, the Tewkesbury Road in Bredon is closed tomorrow for resurfacing. Yes I forgot as well this morning. Late at County Hall."

@sajidjavid "..now I'm seriously considering facial hair."

@Will_Pryce "I think the message is, if you take down our signs we will put a bigger one up."

@anthonyblagg "I've been invited to talk about travel in Worcester by the Historic Cities Forum at one of the Oxford Colleges in May. Proud or apprehensive?"

@LouisStephen "Support the aims of the Green Party to make a fairer world? Could you help us by putting up a 'Vote Green' window poster? Let me know."

@BaronFullStop "Whilst parliament is dissolved wouldn't it be fun to change all the locks ."

@DickDelingole "The downside of #UKIP doing so well in the election is the prospect of Dan Hodges, naked, at Whitehall."

@WalkerWorcester "Loads of canvassing & delivery today in #Worcester and big teams out in Warndon Villages and St Stephens, thanks to everyone who came to help."

@Worcesterswim "1 question to candidates: "Do they support an eight Lane pool for Worcester? Very pleasing that 5/6 candidates said "yes" #NewPoolForWorcester."

@Matt4wyreforest "Great public meeting tonight at Wribbenhall Community Centre in Bewdley. Nice to see someone I worked with at Kiddy Benefits Agency 1994-96."

@Shukezz "Hi Tom. Thank you, and I hope you had as much fun writing, as I've had reading."
