Set up an automated alert when "library" is mentioned in @UKParliament (tx @ParallelParl)!

It pings constantly due to endless references to placing documents with @commonslibrary.

On the plus side I am now reminded every 20 mins of the #library at the heart of our democracy.

[Martin Reid @LibraryReid]
