Metro runs through the top 10 tweets MPs have posted on Twitter this week before they had second thoughts and hit the delete button.



The all-seeing website politiwoops offers a comprehensive guide of deleted tweets – meaning there is nowhere to hide for ill-informed politicians.

This week’s collection of amusing tweets includes Reading East MP Rob Wilson accidentally sharing a link to a porn website and a Liberal Democrat claiming he is the Angry Birds version of Luke Skywalker.

A Labour MP mixing up South Korea with their angry northern neighbours and another labelling his followers ‘a bunch of nutters’ also feature.
