How a Tory MP's tweeted apology proves Labour is still winning at social media
- The Guardian
Ben Bradley, Conservative MP for Mansfield, who, in little over a week, has managed to clock up more retweets – 55,000 – than all of the Tory party’s tweets in 2018 combined. the tweet in question was part of a legal agreement following a defamatory post sent about Jeremy Corbyn, in which he said that the Labour leader had “sold secrets to communist spies”. A slur related to a right-wing press fabricated story that Corbyn cooperated with a Czech intelligence agent in the 1980s. Labour insisted the final sentence of Bradley’s apology be “please retweet”, which sent it skyrocketing.
