July 16, 2014
Getting the latest news on a British government reshuffle once meant waiting outside the prime minister's Downing Street office for ministers to emerge, and judging their fate by the look on their faces.
But in the age of social media, UK Prime Minister David Cameron unveiled a major shake-up of his cabinet today through his two official Twitter accounts, which between them boast 3.4 million followers. "I'll be reshuffling the Cabinet today. Watch this Twitter feed for the very latest. #Reshuffle," the premier announced overnight.
