It seems the Conservative and Lib Dem press offices are having a fight on Twitter

Poke Staff. Updated December 7th, 2016

Today the official Conservative Party press office and the Lib Dem press office Twitter accounts got into a bit of a spat, that mostly involved them trading pictures of crying politicians. What a time to be alive!

It started out with the Conservative press office having a ‘dig’ at ‘the’ Liberal ‘Democrats’.
