A Tottenham Tory group’s attempt to own Labour backfired spectacularly
A group called Tottenham Conservatives spends a lot of time trying to tweet gotchas at anyone it sees as an opponent – perhaps the Anti-growth Coalition.
At the weekend, its target was the Labour Party’s ability to manage finances.
It’s hard to tell whether they were trying to write £5,000 (ish) and don’t know how many pence there are in a pound or to write £5m and don’t know how to write numbers.
Either one is a spectacular self-own in a post about who handles finances better.

Is that five grand or five million?
Anyhow, the Tories always have money, just from foreign dirty cash pic.twitter.com/91ybaon4Ek

Tottenham Conservatives don’t even know how to write money amounts in English.
I certainly wouldn’t trust them with any finances. pic.twitter.com/VV121XXn43

Apart from leaving out the quotation marks and the S on one possessive “its”, adding an apostrophe to another, missing one off “nation’s” and not knowing how to write numbers properly, this is a really effective message https://t.co/cQpArNMmrf

£5,205.000? What's with the extra zero? A new deci-pence we don't know about, or you want it to look like a £5 million overspend to the casual observer https://t.co/dSh6J4uiUP

You literally handed £37bn to an unqualified horse obsessive to run test and trace resulting in one of the worst COVID responses on the planet and have now put that same person in charge of Public Health England. I hate Starmer's guts, but sit the f**k down here. https://t.co/rQrMN5ml9G

Is this a piss take? I can't tell any more. Maybe Tories are so out of touch with those of us who weren't spat out of our mothers into a fat stack of used £50 notes they genuinely don't know there are 100 pence in a pound, not 1,000. https://t.co/QzR17ZrU2I

Imagine adding 3 decimal points to make Labour's overspend look like 5 million instead of 5 thousand, when you just forced the Bank of England to bail out pension funds by 4 billion due to your own economic mismanagement! https://t.co/qTxEnTkr0s

One person had some doubts about the size of the group.
Tottenham? I think even pluralising their twitter name is a typo. I'm willing to bet 'Tottenham Conservatives' is better known as 'Racist old Dave' at the local Wetherspoons.
