LIB Dem Fran Oborski was ordered to take extra training on how to show more restraint on social media recently - but it may take a while to kick in.

In recent days alone, on Twitter our Fran has labelled the Brexit-backing Cabinet ministers "the buffoon team", called Boris Johnson a "total hypocrite", branded Nigel Farage "sickening and despicable" and declared: "The electrification of UKIP, sounds a wonderful idea!"

You don't have to be eccentric to be a Lib Dem, but it helps.

* ROBIN Walker may be firmly with the EU 'in' camp now, but it wasn't always this way for Worcester's MP during his combative teen years.

The Conservative tells us: "If you'd have asked me when I was 18, I'd have definitely said 'yes, we're better off out."

* YOURS truly has heard some wonderful nicknames for politicians over the years, but Worcester's Alan Amos, the obsessive traveller, has topped the lot.

The city's planning chairman has revealed to calling Marc Bayliss, now the city council's new leader "Michelin Man", citing his "love of food".

That's just what Worcester needs - a top restaurant at the Guildhall with Amos flogging pork pies on the door.

* FORMER Worcester Mayor Pat Agar gets quote-of-the-week for her description of the effects of the boundary-wrecking South Worcestershire Development Plan, with its 28,370-properties.

"It makes Worcester a bit like June, it's bursting all over," she said.

Does that make Malvern the unruly weeds?

* FORMER Labour city council leader Adrian Gregson was trying to deliver an Orwellian-like Guildhall speech on Worcester's housing needs this week when his car alarm went berserk, forcing him to reach for the keys to quieten the din, wrecking his flow.

The Source assumes his motor is most certainly a Tory voter!

* ACCORDING to one of our MPs, David Cameron's 'people' say he managed to get through the all-nighters in Brussels by snacking on fizzy sweets and loaded snacks like Haribos.

Whatever happened to the sugar tax?
