Jeremy Corbyn supporters are venting their fury at a parody Twitter account that pokes fun at the far left-leaning Labour leader and the group that exists to promote him.
@MomentumSurb has racked up more than 500 followers, and has had almost as many complaints, after a series of tweets in which they call themselves "100 per cert copperplated gold standard Corbyn fanatics" and brand the people who oppose them "[filtered word]s". The account claims it is the "best thing to come out of Surbiton since the A3."
But one of the women behind the account says it was set up for serious reasons. Suspicions were raised about the validity of the Surbiton account after a series of seemingly sarcastic tweets. The people behind the account, who say they live in and around Surbiton, want to draw attention to the aggression of some Corbyn supporters, including perceived anti-Semitism in the party.
The people behind the account have been branded "trolls".
This is not the first time the Momentum has caused a stir in the borough. Earlier in the year Kingston based children’s charity Momentum found itself on the receiving end of pro and anti-Corbyn phone calls. The official Momentum political group did not immediately respond for a request to comment.
