Julia Hartley-Brewer is rarely off Twitter.
When she’s not having a go at climate protestors, she’s mocking remainers and lefties alike.

If Abbott did block Hartley-Brewer, she’s not the first politician to do so.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab blocked journalist James O’Brien earlier this year after the LBC presenter made a compilation video of his biggest fails.
