A Conservative MP has claimed that the rail strikes offer a “vision of Labour’s Britain” in a bizarre tweet.

Several high-profile celebrities have come out in support of workers who have walked out today, with Gary Neville saying “these are good people yet this Government will divide and try and turn us on them!”

Poverty campaigner Jack Monroe also tweeted: “Full solidarity with @RMTunion strikes today.

“Withdrawal of labour is supposed to be inconvenient, it demonstrates how vital that labour is – and those who carry it out – to our everyday lives.

“Bring on the waves of industrial action as workers demand fairer pay and conditions.”

But one person who isn’t a fan of the strike action is Tory MP Mark Jenkinson.

He replied to a tweet that read: “Teacher says students are bunking down on their mates’ floors so they can avoid the train strike and get to exams #today.”

In response, he wrote: “A vision of Labour’s Britain…”

A vision of @UKLabour's Britain… https://t.co/16WLGuTNWe

I cannot believe what I’m hearing. The Conservative Govt who have been in power for 12 years are blaming the current strike action on Labour who have not been in power for 12 years. It’s quite a take. TWELVE YEARS!

Nope. I'm done.

This is the Truman Show or some sh**.

None of this is real.

There's no way an actual human person would spend 12years in government, shaping a country… then say "See! This is what the country would look like if we WEREN'T in power".

Pineapples!

PINEAPPLES!!

over 3.5k replies. Nearly all of them telling him this is his Britain. I don't think this tweet was as successful as he thinks.

Remember when that guy in Hartlepool blamed labour for the closing of a prison and the lack of hospitals in Tory Britain?

Mark Jenkinson’s going to be furious when he finds out that this ‘Labour vision’ is occurring right now, today, under a…

It's literally Tory Britain.

I agree Mark as soon as we get this Labour government out of Westminster we can start to rebuild this wonderful country back up to the Conservative standards we’re used to, how dare Jeremy Corbyn sit in number 10 and do this to our nation? What the fack dude? U ok? https://t.co/q8CUoFBRvs

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.
