Anyway, it was a bit of fun, but now that we're under new management we're all here to be force-fed inflammatory hot takes rather than "have fun", so maybe it is as good a time as any for it to go.

The entire thing has been running quietly on a bookshelf in the living room for two years, except for occasional outages due to holidays or forgetting which plug to use for the vacuum cleaner.

@everympbot According to my notes, the bot tweeted ~450 times with a picture, ~1350 without, plus ~50 weekly updates, and covered ~1650 distinct MPs - out of a pool of 13500+.

It deeply loved Frederick Hindle, Liberal MP for Darwen (Lancs) 1923-24, and tweeted him five times.
