Julia Hartley-Brewer is rarely off Twitter.

When she’s not having a go at climate protestors, she’s mocking remainers and lefties alike.

Well, the broadcasters tweets don’t seem to have gone down so well with one person: Diane Abbott.

The radio host took to Twitter to complain that the shadow home secretary had blocked her on Twitter. She posted a screenshot which appears to show that she’s been blocked by Abbott’s official account.

Accompanying the screenshot, Hartley-Brewer pondered what Abbott blocking her suggests about the prospect of her becoming the UK’s Home Secretary after an election.

indy100 reached out to Abbott to ask if she’s actually blocked Hartley-Brewer and, if so, then why. She hasn’t responded yet, but we’ll keep you updated.

In the meantime, though, most people think Hartley-Brewer doesn’t have much of a leg to stand on in this feud.

If Abbott did block Hartley-Brewer, she’s not the first politician to do so.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab blocked journalist James O’Brien earlier this year after the LBC presenter made a compilation video of his biggest fails.
