Mensch-watch: Just in case anyone thought we were getting a kindler, gentler Tory party in the UK, here’s this exchange from during the real-time ministerial reshuffle, when it was (erroneously) believed that loathed health minister Jeremy Hunt had lost his spot:
I’m on a hospital ward with my son, awaiting a delayed and postponed operation. Huge cheer just erupted at news Jeremy Hunt has been sacked.

Note in what follows that this poor bloke merely reported an occurrence.
Who would take that on? Our old friend Louise Mensch stepped up:
Well scumbag enjoy the fact you were wrong you loathsome tit. Jeremy is staying https://t.co/5fgFJb8w0J

and
Loathsome scumbag political post. Delighted Bartley gets his comeuppance over Hunt 🙂 https://t.co/priH4iCvF4

Mensch is a big supporter of Teresa May, who once observed that the Tories had to lose their reputation as the “nasty party”. How’s that going?
