Iain Duncan Smith taking a page out of Jacob Rees-Mogg's book. Lie with absolute confidence about what the public want. No facts and no need, but no one questions them. pic.twitter.com/lXKa8HT5wl

Polls suggest that #IDS is slightly less popular than treading in dog shit, not noticing, walking it into the house and grinding it into a brand new, beige carpet. https://t.co/oxmabOGxh3

It's a poll by the Ian Duncan Smith polling company. Apparently they polled a number of people* in the Westminster area called Ian Duncan Smith and all the respondents still would vote leave.
* That number being 1.

Polls suggest 'the vast majority think Iain Duncan Smith is a raving tumour on the prolapsed sphincter of a fucked dog and most people would be happy with him being launched into space with a rocket up his fudge pump' https://t.co/gNEurEYRrV

Twitter Renaissance Man, Russ, had an excellent suggestion for dealing with the rising tide of false claims.
How can democracy work if this kind of flagrant bullshit can leak from the mouth of an MP without him facing any personal consequences? We can't rely on honour or shame.
How hard would it be to employ official Fact Checkers? If an MP tells a lie, the MP is fined £10,000. https://t.co/TTZJdNEQT8
