A Tory ‘commentator’ used coronavirus stockpiling to make a political point and it’s this week’s dumbest tweet
Here’s Tory commentator Darren Grimes – you might remember the BeLeave founder’s occasionally memorable role in the campaign to exit the EU – using supermarket’s empty shelves to make a political point.
And it’s fair to say it didn’t go down well.
Well, folks. At least the coronavirus panic has given us a look into life under Jeremy Corbyn’s preferred Venezuelan ‘alternative’. pic.twitter.com/aZhNlSxVPz

This is quite literally a photograph of life under Johnson. I feel like I'm losing my mind. https://t.co/wPq7WhIdnb

This is, quite literally, life under a right-wing British government where the population is confused & frightened. We all need to demand better from our leaders, Darren, wherever we may stand on other issues. I hope your secretly-funded employers permit you to endorse this plea. https://t.co/c00tqzOPoV

People are dying. Many are scared like they’ve never been before—like may grandmother, 96 years old, who today cried when I rang her and said she is so afraid. Yet here you are, thinking this is the moment for cheap political point-scoring. You are the worst of us. https://t.co/pot79qjJik

love this genre of tweet: useless media blue-check pretending that what is actually happening right now in reality in a capitalist country is instead happening in an imaginary socialist onehttps://t.co/KMit0ipx3I

And just in case it’s still not clear.
