A female Labour MP has retweeted a post by a Corbynisa accusing Theresa May of being ‘ugly because she has ugly thoughts’.
Emma Dent Coad said she ‘loved’ the message – which uses a quote by the author Roald Dahl to accuse the PM of being ‘ugly’ and Jeremy Corbyn of being ‘lovely’.
She sparked a Twitter backlash among users who hit out at an elected member of Parliament endorsing the use of such nasty language.
And it comes just weeks after it emerged she had published a picture of a stick man hanging from the tree in the Conservative logo and branded a black Tory candidate a ‘token ghetto boy’.
Ms Dent Coad, the MP for Kensington, retweeted the post by a vocal Corbynista late last night.

Emma Dent Coad sparked a Twitter backlash after she endorsed a tweet branding Theresa May ugly because she has ugly thoughts
The Labour MP said she ‘loved’ this original tweet, posted by a Corbynista, laying into theresa May’s appearance
The post has a picture of Mrs May with the message: ‘If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face.
‘And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.’
Next to the picture of the PM is a shot of Mr Corbyn with the message: ‘A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly.
‘You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.’
Ms Dent Coad’s endorsement of the sinister tweet sparked a backlash on Twitter as users to into her over the language.
Dominyk Tiller said: ‘That would be a ridiculous & embarrassing tweet to endorse even if you weren’t a Member of Parliament, Emma.’
One Twitter user branded the tweet ‘facile, trivial and unworthy’ as the backlash gained momentum online
Another twitter user attacked the tweet, which comes just weeks after it emerged Emma Dent Coad sketched a drawing of a stick man hanging from the Tory tree logo
Louise Miles said the language is ‘most unbecoming’ of a member of Parliament
Another user wrote: ‘Cannot believe you go for a professional woman for women spurious evaluation of her appearance. How facile, trivial and unworthy. Shame.’
Tom Coglin wrote: ‘This is staggeringly infantile.’
While Louise Miles wrote: ‘You are a member of Parliament, at the very least you could try and pretend to have a modicum of class.
‘You are behaving like a bitchy teenager. Most unbecoming.’
But asked about the tweet on Sky News, Ms Dent Coad doubled down on it saying it is funny.
She said: ‘It is a joke. It is Roald Dahl and the things that I’ve had thrown at me over the last five months you would not believe.
‘I have had four death threats.
‘Making a joke about the Roald Dahl thing, I think, is pretty minor compared to some of the stuff other people get all day.’
