Lee Anderson slapped down Remainer Femi Oluwole in a heated Twitter exchange this morning.<\/p>\n
The Conservative Party chairman, 56, asked if the anti-Brexit activist had “got a job” in a brutal clap back on the social media platform after being called out.<\/p>\n
Mr Anderson had taken to Twitter – now known as X – following a post from Labour Lord John Mann criticising MP Brendan Clarke-Smith.<\/p>\n
Lord Mann criticised the “thick” MP for Bassetlaw in a post blasting him for claiming credit for a local children’s ward campaign.<\/p>\n
The Ashfield MP took issue with his tweet but was drawn up by Mr Oluwole for his statement about “pathetic dog whistle and divisive politics”.<\/p>\n
