When it rains, it pours for Rishi Sunak and his bedraggled British Conservatives.
As if last week's election wipeout wasn't bad enough for former Prime Minister Sunak and his decimated party, the Conservatives' X account (formerly Twitter) has now been deleted.
The @Conservatives account — followed by more than 600,000 people and used by the party to promote its messaging and attack lines — no longer existed as of late Monday morning.
Those who clicked through to the account were instead greeted by a message stating "this account doesn't exist. Try searching for another."
According to the Conservatives, the account was not deleted on purpose. A Conservative Party spokesperson said it was a "mistake from Twitter support" that they are trying to rectify.
The X press office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
