Louise Mensch takes Twitter swipe at Corbyn campaign – and hits herself

[muriel_volestrangler]

The former Tory MP Louise Mensch came unstuck on Friday night when a series of apparently antisemitic suggested Twitter searches that she said were indicative of abuse from Jeremy Corbyn supporters turned out to be a record of her own search history.

The author tweeted a picture of a Twitter search bar, into which she had typed the handle of Liz Kendall’s Labour leadership campaign account @lizforleader. Referring to the options that then appeared underneath, she wrote: “Twitter’s autocomplete on Liz Kendall MP. This is the sewer that is Jeremy Corbyn’s support.”

But it was soon pointed out to her that they weren’t suggested searches – they were Mensch’s own search history.

John Prescott went on to show 'completion suggestions' for louise mensch of:
louise mensch should get out more
louise mensch has too much time on her hands
louise mensch is useless on twitter

1. Louise Mensch has never been particularly noted for her brains

2. Does anyone actually pay any attention to Mensch these days?

In my experience, even staunch right wingers tend to have little time for Mensch after she swanned out of Parliament.

If she's so concerned about UK politics, then perhaps she should have carried on as the MP for Corby?
