British member of parliament Jared O’Mara, who resigned from the Labour Party last year, has had his Twitter account hijacked by his own chief of staff, who sent a series of tweets in which he quit his job and called the lawmaker “morally bankrupt.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gareth Arnold, who joined O’Mara’s staff about two months ago, announced his resignation in a series of tweets sent from the lawmaker’s Twitter account on Tuesday night. The comments quickly went viral and were retweeted tens of thousands of times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Comms Team signing off\u2026 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,” Arnold said in the first tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In subsequent tweets, he added: “I cannot and will not defend you and your vile, inexcusable contempt for the people who voted you in. You selfish, degenerate prick. … Sheffield Hallam deserves so much better than you. You have wasted opportunities which people dare not to even dream of.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no immediate comment from O’Mara himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arnold, who accused the lawmaker of having alcohol and drug addictions, said O’Mara “hasn’t been in for a few weeks.” He added that his phone is connected to O’Mara’s Twitter account, which means the MP is unable to log in to Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O’Mara, 37, was elected to parliament in 2017, defeating former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. Just a few months later, O’Mara was suspended by the Labour Party over online remarks from 2002 and 2004 which were described as racist, sexist, and homophobic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O’Mara was reinstated by the Labour Party last summer, but he resigned from the party just two days later, saying he had been made “unfairly to feel like a criminal.” In an open letter to constituents, O’Mara said he is autistic and suffers from clinical depression, cerebral palsy, and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
