The Mayor of Liverpool offered his support to London today as they prepare for the Olympic kick-off. Well, he sort of supported them.

Politicians and Twitter do not always work well together. The instant nature of the medium and the fact that everything you utter is easily shared means that any missteps will be quickly seized upon.
