X deletes official UK Conservatives account

LONDON — 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.
