A tweet sent from the official UK Civil Service account has said: ‘Arrogant and offensive. Can you imagine having to work with these truth twisters?’

The tweet, which was liked over 30,000 times before being deleted, came after prime minister Boris Johnson gave a press conference defending senior aide Dominic Cummings for allegedly breaking lockdown rules.

It was not clear if the account had been hacked or if the tweet had been posted from somebody working there. Some speculated the tweet had been shared accidentally from somebody who meant to post it on a personal account.

Despite being deleted, the tweet is still being widely shared on Twitter.

BBC Newsnight policy editor Lewis Goodall wrote: ‘This has just been tweeted from the UK Civil Service account. This is the craziest political weekend for a long time.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted the UK government for comment.
