In a clear reference to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s support for embattled aide Dominic Cummings, who breached lockdown rules by driving across the country to isolate at his parents’ house, the tweet asked readers to imagine ‘having to work with these truth twisters.’
The tweet was quickly taken down, but not before it was screen-shotted by thousands of Britons. The government has promised an investigation.
News of Cummings’ breach of the law has sparked a political crisis in the UK, but Johnson has so far refused to sack his adviser.
