Kerry McCarthy is New Tsarette for Twattering n Stuff.

The MP for Bristol East, who was recently voted most 'influential' MP on Twitter with 1,879 followers, has been named as new media campaign spokesperson.

She believes the election next year will be the "first new media election" and MPs must embrace the internet if they are to connect with their constituents.



In an interview with LabourList website, she said: "Voters will increasingly be searching the web to find out what we think about the issues, what we've actually been doing in the locality and looking to see what we sound like.

"That's where YouTube comes in. All our candidates need to start building up that online collateral from now."

You've made an excellent start with the video above Kerry. You could be the New Dolly Draper if you keep this level of brilliance up! I'm looking forward to more of the same from your compadres.
