Especially so for domain names of MPs' websites... Surely the best bet is to not have MP in any of your usernames for things like this in the first place?

I did it when I moved from being @bmje (which I still use for tweeting from events) to @BenjaminEllis and have done the same for a few corporate accounts, with no problems. Exactly the way to do it.

If you're likely to attract online critics, two browser windows and two accounts makes sense for the swap - change your actual account's name and near simultaneously change a spare dummy account to the name you are switching your actual account from.

If you rename your account via the twitter web interface, all of your followers will be switched across. It is a simple matter to then register your old name as a new account (it will have zero followers). Switching back involves a little three way shuffle (rename the zero follower account you want to switch back to, then rename your main account back). Super simple. Ummm...
