Chris Huhne has begun his stay in prison by tweeting from the ‘inside’. Read below for the highlights so far, and don’t forget you can follow him at @ChrisHuhneDiary.
Greeted by wolf whistles on my arrival. Not worried – typical banter.

Left a message on my son’s voicemail to bring me in some shower gel

Spent the morning in the prison library with an older con teaching me to read road signs. #roadsafetyawareness

Texted son about the shower gel again. No reply

Fraudsters, thieves, liars….I’ll miss the House of Commons

Still no reply from my lad. I know he’s been having network problems

An inmate just asked me if I had any snout. I replied that I’ve had it in the trough for years. Apparently he meant tobacco #expenses

Still haranguing the governor about the lack of a Corby trouser press in my cell. #takingliberties

Mike Hancock’s come through for me! He smuggled me in some tobacco up his arse. Should get Keith off my back for a few days

Gashi insists that growing a beard is part of Islamic culture. Muslims who shave are the slaves of the West
— HuhnePrisonDiary (@ChrisHuhneDiary) March 16, 2013
He said it was an act of defiance against the west poisoning Muslims with sportswear

Sunday morning would normally be a breakfast of baguette, a selection of sliced cold meats, coffee, the newspapers and Andrew Marr

In here it’s sugar puffs, lukewarm tea, the words ‘Nozza fucks goats’ carved into the table and Colin talking about kestrels
— HuhnePrisonDiary (@ChrisHuhneDiary) March 17, 2013
I asked Colin if he knew who carved ‘Nozza fucks goats’ into the table. “Yeah, it was Nozza,” he replied

My protestations that mashed potato should play no part in a Sunday roast have gone completely ignored.
— HuhnePrisonDiary (@ChrisHuhneDiary) March 17, 2013
Texted my son about the shower gel again. I guess his phone must be on the charger.

I’ll be just fine when I get out of here. I’ve got 500 grand in a Cypriot offshore account.
— HuhnePrisonDiary (@ChrisHuhneDiary) March 17, 2013
I must be strong and draw inspiration from my heroes – Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi, Mahatma Gandhi and Ronnie Barker

I’m starting to realise that watching the Porridge DVD box set was inadequate preparation for my time in jail
— HuhnePrisonDiary (@ChrisHuhneDiary) March 18, 2013
I said ‘Son, one day you will understand why I left your mother for a bisexual woman thirteen years younger than her’
— HuhnePrisonDiary (@ChrisHuhneDiary) March 18, 2013
If it wasn’t for the fact that missing breakfast makes me extremely irritable I would leave these Sugar Puffs as a mark of protest
— HuhnePrisonDiary (@ChrisHuhneDiary) March 19, 2013
It’s been Sugar Puffs for breakfast every day for 6 days now. I doubt even Aung San Suu Kyi would have endured this level of oppression

I’ve started my book. I’m making it semi-autobiographical, but with elements of James Bond. It’s called The Man With The Golden Pension

They say that winning becomes a habit. Having spent the last 2 hours playing Connect 4 against a blind man, it also becomes very boring

Muscular Guy was very sweet this morning. He offered me a Mini Twix bar. At least I assume that’s what he meant by Chocolate Finger
— HuhnePrisonDiary (@ChrisHuhneDiary) March 20, 2013
Mike The Screw chastised me for rushing Colin down to First Aid. He said ‘Slow down Huhne – you’re not on the M11’ . Sarcastic bastard
— HuhnePrisonDiary (@ChrisHuhneDiary) March 21, 2013
Just tried to hack George Osborne’s Twitter account. Tried to think like him to guess the password. I gave up after ‘spankme and ‘cokewhore
— HuhnePrisonDiary (@ChrisHuhneDiary) March 21, 2013
I’m currently watching Question Time with Colin and enjoying a Twix #bbcqt
