Lynne, who is the MP for Hornsey and Wood Green, told Blogminster: "The world has changed, and any MP who thinks that they don't need to communicate online (as well as the more traditional way) doesn't understand that change. Now, more than ever, MPs need to be accessible day and night - getting in touch with those they are elected to serve - and ensuring that those they serve can get in touch with them online. It's not just good for constituents - it's very good for MPs to put themselves out there - head firmly above parapet."
