SteveHiltonGuru's PMQs Frenzy

If you don't already follow him, you really ought to discover the delights of Twitter's @SteveHiltonGuru.

Effortlessly bonkers but uncannily well-informed, the Tweeter with a #winning grimace is possibly the best insider parody on the network.

From discussions about his new trainers with sidekick Rohan Silva to his constant jibes at Ed Llewellyn (the PM's chief of staff), it's often a treat. What's not to like about a man who uses the hashtag '#thatshowIroll' and who updates us on his wigwam?

No one seriously believes that it's the real Hilton (even though, at times, his details on what individuals are wearing in No.10 are extraordinarily accurate). And thankfully, mystery surrounds The Guru's identity.

But today, @SteveHiltonGuru may have overreached himself.

During PMQs, he was tweeting more wildly than ever, but with information that suggests that he was actually...wait for it...in the House.

Early on, he Tweeted:

"GET MORDAUNT INTO SHOT. NOW! REPLETE IN CHOCOLATE ORANGE HUE."*

Now Penny Mordaunt was not on the TV screens, being miles behind the PM, thus suggesting the Guru was somewhere in the Chamber in person.

Here's some other tweets that suggested the maestro simply forgot himself, by revealing where he was sitting:

"Baldwin really pleased with himself. Mili looking confident for once. Warlord must pace himself."

"Not liking this taunting from Dave. IT's going to get ripped up by the sketch writers. Letts is loving it."

That, ahem, mirrors the vantage point of only a few people...

It's perfectly possible that @SteveHiltonGuru is not one, but several gagsters using the same account. He may also just be wonderfully good at guesswork. Using 'Twitter for Mac' is also pretty tricky inside the Chamber, after all.

But no one wants The Guru to start outing himself. Let's just hope he's more careful in future....

*FOOTNOTE: Maybe we can all rest easy. @harley_matt points out Mordaunt was visible during DfiD Questions. Which suggests The Guru (or at least one of him) was watching it on telly. Phew.

UPDATE: The great man himself has just tweeted:

"LOCKDOWN: Level 2 security breach @paulwaugh exposing guru protocols #goingdark #rewritingrulebook #compromised"
