«Breaking News» Esther McVvey hits back at her critics on Twitter

Esther McVey (pictured heading out of Cabinet)  has unleashed a furious Twitter tirade taking aim at 'crumbling' Cabinet ministers and branding Theresa May's Brexit deal 'not good enough'

Esther McVey has unleashed a furious Twitter tirade taking aim at 'crumbling' Cabinet ministers and branding Theresa May's Brexit deal 'not good enough'.

Ms McVey dramatically quit as Work and Pensions Secretary last week in fury at the divorce deal - helping to send the PM's Government into meltdown.

And since returning to the backbenches she has posted a series of messages on her social media account lashing her critics.

She uploaded a video admitting 'change is difficult' but vowing not to 'live in fear' and to stand up for the UK as the crunch talks reach their final stages.

The Tory MP for Tatton in Cheshire, began sending a flurry of tweets and retweets on Sunday - just as Mrs May's premiership hung by a thread.

Ms McVey hit out at some of the ministers and officials at last week's  crunch Brexit Cabinet meeting, which signed up to the divorce deal triggering the devastating wave of resignations.

She linked to a Mail on Sunday story reporting that some ministers became so alarmed at her behaviour in the stormy five-hour meeting they considered calling security.

Ms McVey wrote: 'Hilarious; seems a bit of straight talking from me to ask Cabinet members to vote on the most important matter in a lifetime made them crumble! 

'Makes you wonder if this is how feeble senior members have been in negotiations with the EU over our future?'

And yesterday she posted a video shot in her office in Parliament talking about what life is like back on the backbenches and slamming the PM's Brexit blueprint.

She said: ‘Today is my first day back as a backbencher, and it is like having your very first day at work.

‘I have got to now find a new office, because I can’t keep this, my old ministerial office – obviously. I have got to find new staff and start all over again.

‘Change is difficult, and I am prepared for that, because you can’t live in fear. You have got to know the options, you have got to know what change is involved and then go forward and do that, which is exactly what I am doing.

Esther McVey took aim at her former Cabinet colleagues who said they became so alarmed at her behaviour in last week's crunch Brexit Cabinet they nearly called security

The ex minister also hit back at a Twitter critic who tore into her over the controversial Universal Credit reforms, which she was in charge of delivering while in the Cabinet

The former minister also retweeted a string of messages backing her after she quit the Cabinet in fury at the PM's Brexit divorce deal

‘Because you have got to believe in something, and I believed that Withdrawal Agreement wasn’t good enough for the people of the UK.

‘And I believe in the people of the UK, so I am going to fight for what is best for them.'

Ms McVey vowed to stand up for her local area and fight from the backbenches to improve education and social mobility. 

While in the Cabinet, Ms McVey was in charge of the roll out of the hugely controversial Universal Credit scheme.

The Government's flagship welfare reform involves wrapping six benefits payments into one and tapering off payments so that it always pays to get back into work.

But it has sparked massive criticism - including from many Tory MPs - as research showed that many of the country's poorest households could be left thousands of pounds a year worse off. 

Speaking in her hand-shot video posted on her Twitter, Ms McVey declared that she had 'fought' and won an extra £4.5billion in last month's Budget.

And she hit back at a Twitter critic who attacked the UC reforms and suggested that unlike benefit claimants, she would not lose money for quitting her Cabinet job.

She wrote: 'Hi Paul In answer to your question. By resigning, my salary has been halved.'

Esther McVey has unleashed a furious Twitter tirade taking aim at ...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
