Davey is a pie: Corbyn’s Twitter Hacked

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been a victim of an online troll after four tweets posted from his account were sent last night.

The account, which has 384,000 followers, started mysteriously tweeting at around nine o’clock, but Mr Corbyn’s team were quickly in control again and deleted the tweets within minutes.

First of the four was a joke about Corbyn’s usual style on Twitter as he mostly talks about policies:

Next includes (again) an expletive as the hacker pokes fun at Corbyn’s stance on nuclear weapons:
