The 49 best Twitter accounts to follow in UK politics

Twitter is so stuffed full of political news and opinions that it can be hard to pick out the worthwhile comments from the noise. 

But, if you follow the right accounts, you will enjoy a feed which is insightful, informative, and witty in its coverage of UK politics.

Business Insider has compiled a list of the most interesting and useful Twitter accounts to follow if you're interested in politics in this country. It includes MPs, journalists, analysts, academics, and others.

We produced a similar ranking for the best Twitter accounts to follow in European finance earlier this year.

We based our highly unscientific ranking on how many followers they have, how frequently they tweet, and how useful we feel their content is. We also made an effort to make sure the entire political spectrum is represented. We also resisted including ourselves, of course.
