David Davis complained about Vodafone and these 9 takedowns were worth holding on for
Conservative MP and former Brexit secretary David Davis has been having a bit of trouble with his mobile phone provider.
We know this because the man formerly in charge of negotiating Britain’s exit from the EU went on Twitter to complain about it, presumably in the hope of using all his enormous influence to hurry things along a bit.
And it’s fair to say it did get things moving – in the sense that it prompted an avalanche of very funny pisstakes, of which these are our very favourites.

You hold all the cards! Simply walk away. No phone contract is better than a bad phone contract. https://t.co/s7j4XqDlJj

Did you want to retain all the benefits of phone ownership but with none of the responsibilities?

Don't they need you more than you need them? https://t.co/2kENK4xq6w

Usually they offer you the best deal 1 minute before midnight.

How could this have happened despite Vodafone's considerable trade surplus with Mr Davis? https://t.co/uHUTIzbFqs

Isn’t it good to have a level playing field of providers you can switch between, all of which follow the same set of regulations?

Spectacular incompetence is seriously vexing, isn’t it?

I'm absolutely loving my new job as a customer support agent for Vodafone. https://t.co/FdANyKU4XS

And as @JimMFelton pointed out on Twitter, it was ‘two more hours than he spent doing his job’.
To conclude.
Would like to invite everyone on twitter to this thread to enjoy the ratio. It’s David Davis. Complaining about spectacular incompetence. Priceless.

And this.
There’s no way the German car industry would let this happen. https://t.co/Z8EregU81A

And just for completeness sake, his complaint did solicit a response from Vodafone themselves.
