			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just spent several hours building <a href="http://mps.monstermischief.com">a list of MPs on twitter</a> by harvesting, cross-tabulating and advanced munging of various lists on twitter. </p>
<p>Yes, I know it&#8217;s already been done by <a href="http://tweetminster.co.uk/">tweetminster</a> and there are lists on <a href="http://listorious.com/HousingBenefit/mps-uk">listorious</a>, probably elsewhere too. </p>
<p>But there are none that I know of that are freely available, which are amenable to inserting into a database for twitter-bot magic, nor which connect to any other online profiles of MPs &#8211; I use the public whip ids from MySociety&#8217;s <a href="http://ukparse.kforge.net/parlparse/">parlparse</a> project. </p>
<p>Linked data, innit?</p>
<p>There are bound to be errors and omissions, so let me know if you have any corrections and I&#8217;ll update. And if there&#8217;s someone else doing this better, I&#8217;ll gladly defer to them.</p>
<p>Do what you want with this data &#8211; hell, you could even republish it in RDF if you want.</p>
