Members of Parliament get into all sorts of trouble for their online blunders, from Neil Parish’s tractor porn saga to Ed Balls accidentally tweeting out “Ed Balls” when he was trying to look himself up (Ed Balls Day is now an annual tradition).

Ben Everitt, MP for Milton Keynes, was ticked off for the above picture during an argument about nuclear waste. Everitt had accused Labour councillor Peter Marland of a “scaremongering campaign” over plans to store nuclear waste in Milton Keynes.
