MPs who use WordPress

I had a bit of a brainwave earlier, which led me to wondering how many MPs run websites on WordPress. Taking as my starting point the Total Politics directory of Parliamentarians' blogs, I soon received a number of extra suggestions from Twitter folks... leading me to the following list of MPs whose blogs (or non-blog websites) are powered by WordPress:

If anyone knows any more, I'd love to add them to the list. Oh, and for the record... with such low take-up (so far), my brainwave may be a little ahead of its time.

Update: a special thanks to Danny Dagan (whose Blogminster project is in development) and PSF's Ian Cuddy for providing a load of new ones I didn't know about, even one or two at Cabinet level. I now count three Cabinet ministers on WordPress: Messrs Byrne, Bradshaw and Johnson... plus Nick Brown, who 'attends' Cabinet as chief whip, but isn't 'in' it.

    Liam Byrne's new site, which is apparently launching soon, will be on WordPress - he currently uses wp.com for his blog, too.

    Quite a few Parliamentary candidates used WordPress, so the next election may hasten your brainwave, whatever it is...
