They still exist. There are still Twitter accounts consisting entirely of 'New article: Annette attends [insert sleep-inducing local event here]'. Annette Brooke's account is like some creaking old relic of a bygone era, when MPs supposed that the best thing they could do with a new technology was fill it up with newsletters about their local activities. This would be unforgivable even if the 'new articles' were remotely interesting, which they most emphatically are not. They're just bog-standard press releases documenting the trivialities that fill a political career in modern Britain. Sustained reading will make you question the validity of democracy as a political system.
