Yahoo News UK reports:
An independent MP’s aide staged a dramatic resignation – using his boss’s own Twitter account. Gareth Arnold, who worked for Sheffield Hallam Independent MP Jared O’Mara [photo], branded his boss “the most disgustingly morally bankrupt person I have ever had the displeasure of working with” in a series of tweets on Tuesday night.
In the string of tweets, Mr Arnold wrote: “Comms Team signing off… forever: Jared, you are the most disgustingly morally bankrupt person I have ever had the displeasure of working with. You do not care about your constituents. You do not care about anyone but yourself.”
Mr O’Mara resigned from Labour in 2018 after being suspended over misogynistic and homophobic comments made online and has been an independent MP ever since. In April, he shut down his office for a month after all of his staff either quit or were fired, leaving him unable to respond to phone calls or correspondence.
Comms Team signing off… forever: Jared, you are the most disgustingly morally bankrupt person I have ever had the displeasure of working with. You do not care about your constituents. You do not care about anyone but yourself.

I cannot and will not defend you and your vile, inexcusable contempt for the people who voted you in. You selfish, degenerate prick.

My fear is that now (as I quit) the rest of the staff will leave and once again you will close your office and stop helping anyone but still take your wages until you have the decency to call a byelection.

Leaving constituents desperate for representation again. No matter if they are having their homes taken away, their liberaties disgraced or being deported because of your inaction.

Consider this my resignation.
Thanks
Gareth Arnold
