Fake Twitter accounts of the Queen, Steve Hilton and Tim Shipman

Twitter is awash with imposters who are pretending to be celebrities from the world of politics and some appear to make quite outlandish claims.

Adam Fleming looks at what the Queen, the PM's strategy guru Steve Hilton and Daily Mail journalist Tim Shipman may, or may not, have had to say on the social networking site.

The Daily Politics will discuss the claims on Wednesday around 1245 GMT with Conservative MP Peter Bone, who often name-checks his wife Jennie in Parliament but her other claim to fame is a fake twitter account.
