Tweet of the day - 30 Dec 2010

From Iain Dale, after having read Labour MP Chris Bryant's somewhat poor attempt at poetry (which starts off reasonably okay and then goes horribly wrong):

"A plea to @chrisbryantmp - Don't give up the day job"

Even more amusingly, Bryant appears to have taken this as Dale appreciating him as an MP and wanting him to stay on, as he tweeted (about half an hour later, and seemingly without a trace of sarcasm or irony):

"@iaindale Thanks, Iain."

Perhaps the Labour MP isn't familiar with that well-established expression "don't give up the day job"...
