Mrs Bercow Twittered  EyeSpyMP “I am not an MP. I just live here. So stop reporting my movements.”  Mrs Bercow who is the wife of the Commons Speaker.

EyeSpyMP reply to Mrs Bercow”You Twitter your movements far more than we do. You love the limelight.”

EyeSpyMP has reported sightings of Mrs Bercow drinking coffee and playing with her daughter.

Mrs Bercow replied “I am going out now. To do school run. I am not an MP. I just live here. So stop reporting my movements. Thank you. “  This is just like pouring petrol on a fire…

Another tweet  “You are not being v. nice. You are clearly a bunch of Tories.”  Hmm not the smartest of responses…

John Bercow the elected Speaker last year, is a frequent Twitter user hopefully he is more selective about what he tweets.

If you are or have a partner are in the public eye, it’s always a good idea to have two accounts, a public profile and a private one for family and friends.  This goes for photos and any other personal matters you don’t want appearing on the net or in newspaper articles.

Also do not fire fight in public view, you can make things much worse, if you find negative things about you, try and resolve it out of the public eye and especially avoid using tools like Facebook or Twitter.  In public view no one ever wants to back down.

A good book to read is “How To Win Friends and Influence People”.
