The Lib Dems’ attempt at an own was peak cringe – the only 5 reactions you need to read
Somebody must have told the Liberal Democrats that they needed to make a few jokes to own their opponents – it was probably Dominic Cummings – but they really shouldn’t have listened, if this attempt at owning Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson is anything to judge by.

Unless that’s one of these deliberately awful posts that’s really a work of genius, about which we’ve heard so much recently, it’s a cringeworthy fail. Certainly, that’s what Twitter thought of it.

Sam Whyte had what looked like a legitimate complaint.
It really irritates me that whoever does the lib dem twitter content has a social media job and I don't. I mean, for fuck's sake.
