MPs are spending almost 1,000 hours a year on Twitter, the social networking site, according to research.
The number of MPs tweeting - sending messages of 140 characters or fewer - has more than doubled from 111 in January last year to 275 today, and is expected to go on rising as more politicians sign up. Keen tweeters include Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister and Ed Miliband, the Labour leader.
The Tories have the highest number, but the lowest proportion - of MPs on Twitter - 110 out of 305, or 36%. The Lib Dems, by contrast, have the lowest number but the highest proportion of MPs on the site, with 57% and Labour has 122 out of its 255 members tweeting, 47%.
