The Thick Of It creator Armando Iannucci and former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell had a Twitter spat after the writer and comedian accepted a OBE.

It was announced that Iannucci would be given an honour on the 16th of June, but Campbell, who is often thought to be the inspiration for The Thick Of It’s Malcolm Tucker let his feelings against the decision be known on Twitter.

Iannucci’s work included The Day Today, I’m Alan Partridge and In The Loop. His latest project is called Veep, set in the offices of a fictional US Vice President, is currently being shown on US TV channel HBO and is set to be broadcast in the UK on Sky Atlantic from June 25.

Who do you think won?
