There were plenty of dissenters too, of course. Given this account’s name, their response was unsurprising. Nonsense …but unsurprising.
This, however, was less predictable.
The multi-millionaire former Dragon’s Den entrepreneur’s reaction got exactly the response you’d expect.

Whatever your politics, I find this sort of statement so bizarre and patently anti-democratic, particularly from someone who purports to be proudly pro-British.
And for that reason, I'm out. https://t.co/HDxU6phzJ0— Jonathan Pie (@JonathanPieNews) January 26, 2025

What kind of serious person wants a racist, homophobic, laughing stock for PM, for God’s sake? There is no patriotism here, just hate of others. https://t.co/cZKDxOaM8h

You want him Duncan. Why do some people feel the need to speak for everyone? You only ever represent your own POV. It’s so incredibly arrogant.
