Ralf Little played the Tory party at its own game by rebranding his Twitter feed and it’s perfect
You’ll have seen by now the controversy around the Conservative Party’s Twitter feed rebranding as ‘factcheckUK’ during last night’s election leader debate.

Lots of people thought it was an outrageous attempt to mislead the British public, although Tory party chairman James Cleverly saw absolutely nothing wrong with it.
So Ralf Little, no stranger at cutting Conservatives down to size, thought he’d give them a taste of their own medicine by rebranding his own Twitter account.
And as responses go, it was pretty much perfect.

The Conservative Press Office would never appear to be something it isn’t in order to spread disinformation. We resent the accusation. Also Boris Johnson has loads of kids but won’t say how many. https://t.co/CKWpvnUex7

Not a Conservative voter apparently. Shame. This is exactly the kind of chap we like. https://t.co/VNl9mTznMj

Hate to say it but the feeling around the office tonight is that this is correct. https://t.co/KFq4dSWpn3

This has been a productive evening & we feel we finally got our true intentions and feelings out to the electorate. You know what to do on the 12th. Now handing the account back to its original owner. Remember, being poor and vulnerable is your fault. Til next time, #VoteTory 👍🏻

You know what, fuck it, I’m changing it back for 24 hours so that anyone who hasn’t seen it yet can understand the joke properly, and how utterly devious and disgusting it was of the real @CCHQPress to do it in the first place. See you in a bit…

May seem weird for us to say this but, if we’re honest, we reckon @jeremycorbyn was the clear winner. Pay no attention to misleading accounts like the one below. https://t.co/BoOz6ps7DD

And just to make the circle complete – sort of – Little was then locked out of Twitter for pretending to be something he wasn’t.
A message from @RalfLittle:
Just been logged out of my twitter account without explanation. Assume I’ve been suspended. Which is fine. But only if the @CCHQPress account is suspended for the same thing. Please continue to press the issue with twitter in my absence.
