Lebedev's tweet release

Alexander Lebedev's irregular offerings on twitter.com/lebedevalex are full of interest – as when he reprinted his letter to the Sunday Times last weekend about its profile of him (wryly protesting about the picture used and calling himself "Putin's Trojan horse"), and back in January recorded he was "reading Rod Liddle's book of stories Too Beautiful for You. Controversial? Yes. Talented? Yes." However, his feed displays an incomplete awareness of the local media scene (one tweet links to "my diary column in Ken Livingstone's New Statesman"), and reprinting the Sunday Times's subbed version of his letter would have been better than the original, which reads like a speech by his meerkat namesake. He needs an editor, in other words. Make that two editors.
