Think MPs are childish? George Osborne blocked the Lib Dems on Twitter

Over five years in coalition, things became increasingly tense between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats.

The Lib Dems confirmed to i100.co.uk that they realised they'd been blocked when trying to look at Mr Osborne's impossibly neat handwriting. They're not exactly sure when it happened but explained that it must have been since the election.
