With only weeks to go until a Brexit deal is put to parliament, the Conservative party is showing no signs of coming together over Theresa May’s Brexit plan.
In fact, if tensions online are anything to go by, the party’s internal war between Remainers and Brexiteers may even be getting worse. The latest spat occurred last night, when arch-Remainer Anna Soubry called out Andrea Jenkyns, revealing that she has been blocked by her Brexiteer colleague on Twitter:
At least you can read her tweets for some reason my colleague @andreajenkyns has blocked me! https://t.co/aZPIbVBNze

Readers will be glad to know though that Soubry herself isn’t above putting her fingers in her ears and shouting. Back in 2016, she bragged about blocking supporters of her other colleague Andrea Leadsom:
UKIP members & supporters backing @andrealeadsom will be blocked. Voting for #TheresaMay does not make me a traitor
