Shoppers fill empty toilet roll shelves with copies of the Mail and the Sun

Finally a use for them.

Photos have emerged on social media of empty toilet roll shelves being stocked with copies of the Daily Mail and the Sun.

With the UK gripped with a severe shortage of loo paper shoppers appear to be sourcing alternative uses for the right-wing rags.

Twitter users have reported a growing number of people dumping the newspapers on the shelves to help those caught out by the short supply.

Others have posted Rupert Murdoch’s red top hanging up in their bathrooms saying they have “finally found a use for it”, although the Mail hasn’t been so lucky.

Copies of the paper remained in good supply even after getting moved, leading to one Twitter user suggesting it wasn’t even fit to “wipe your arse on it”.

Somebody has replaced the empty toilet roll aisle with the Daily Mail but nobody wants it; not even to wipe their arses with it ?@MailOnline#ToiletPaperPanic #DailyMail pic.twitter.com/uVqaYIhUpV

It should be noted, however, that while newspaper has been used as an alternative in the past, water companies ask people to avoid flushing it down the toilet.

So please refrain where possible.

The shelves of Stratford Upon Avon's Waitrose have been stripped bare by #panicbuyers. As a good citizen I offered shoppers an alternative, namely the Daily Mail, Telegraph and Sun.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
