Tory chairman Greg Hands got rinsed on Twitter after claiming a Labour government would mean “we’ll all be queuing outside the job centre”.
The outspoken MP - who regularly tries to troll the opposition on social media - posted a picture of the famous Tory election ad from 1979 showing a lengthy dole queue with the headline: “Labour isn’t working”.

Hands said: “If Labour get in, we’ll all be queuing outside the job centre.”
But the tweet led to a backlash from thousands of Twitter users - with many of them pointing out that Hands himself could be among those out of work after the election.
