David Cameron’s latest Twitter blunder: linking to parody @IDS_MP account
David Cameron commented on Twitter this morning about the cap on benefits being rolled out today: but in an attempt to be Twitter savvy, and link to Iain Duncan Smith, the tweet actually linked to a parody account.Cameron, or his comms team, clearly just typed in ‘Iain Duncan Smith’ in the search box on Twitter and went for the first account returned: @IDS_MP.
We're rolling out a cap on Benefits today - @IDS_MP and I are determined to make work pay, and help the UK compete on the #GlobalRace.
