It’s the grassroots political movement whose launch nobody could envy. Now, social media channels for Activate, the centre-right attempt to emulate Momentum’s youth appeal, appear to be at war with each other over backing for Jacob Rees-Mogg to be Britain’s next prime minister.

On Twitter, the @ActivateBritain account has tweeted a string of anti-Theresa May images and issued an “official statement” endorsing the MP for North East Somerset as the next Conservative leader.

However, all is not as it appears. Prior to these tweets appearing, Activate had tweeted that it had been subjected to a hacking attempt. The group’s Facebook page posted to say that the Twitter account was no longer under its control, and that the posts backing Rees-Mogg were not published by the campaign.
