Jeremy Corbyn has his Twitter hacked: ‘Davey Cameron is a pie’

Oh dear. It’s safe to say that last week was not a great week for Jeremy Corbyn after the Labour leader found members of his party on the verge of revolt following his so-called ‘revenge reshuffle’. His decision to sack members of his Shadow Cabinet led to resignations from Shadow Ministers as party members criticised his decision to move Emily Thornberry — who is anti-Trident — into the role of Shadow Defence Secretary.

However despite this the Labour leader appears to be on fighting form. A series of rather strange expletive-ridden messages have been emitted from his Twitter account this evening:

While Mr S suspects it is a hacker — rather than Corbyn — behind the tweets, which have now been deleted, at least the perpetrator is managing to find time to attack the Tories:

Perhaps Corbyn can try this line next time he crosses Davey at PMQs.
