Tweets by Daily Mail political editor (a Tory) re: Mitt's very bad London trip

The Daily Mail is a British tabloid. A conservative one, in fact. James Chapman is the paper's political editor and a self-proclaimed Tory, and has been tweeting Mitt Romney's visit to his country.

Somehow, I doubt this is what Romney was going for when planning the trip:


Eh? We don't need your advice thanks MT "@chrisshipitv: Romney: will Brits come together & celebrate? We'll only find out when Games begin"
— @jameschappers Diplomacy Romney style: casts doubt on Britain's Olympic preparations; says last thing he wants is for US to be like Europe. Way to go Mitt!
— @jameschappers Another Romney triumph as he forgets Ed Miliband's name: 'Like you, Mr Leader, I look forward to our conversation here this morning'.
— @jameschappers Romney blunders again by revealing he's had (supposedly) top secret briefing by John Sawers, MI6 boss. Do we have a new Dubya on our hands?
— @jameschappers Serious dismay in Whitehall at Romney debut. 'Worse than Sarah Palin.' 'Total car crash'. Two of the kinder verdicts #romneyshambles
— @jameschappers Can this get any worse for Romney? Boris is now mocking him in front of 60,000 people in Hyde Park #romneyshambles
— @jameschappers Another verdict from one Romney meeting: 'Apparently devoid of charm, warmth, humour or sincerity' #romneyshambles #mitthitsthefan
— @jameschappers
Get him the hell out of the UK, stat! At this rate, we'll be at war by tomorrow noon.

And they might want to rethink that Israel visit ...

Couple of the tweets had me laughing out loud. I particularly liked:

— @jameschappers Serious dismay in Whitehall at Romney debut. 'Worse than Sarah Palin.' 'Total car crash'. Two of the kinder verdicts #romneyshambles


And:

— @jameschappers Romney blunders again by revealing he's had (supposedly) top secret briefing by John Sawers, MI6 boss. Do we have a new Dubya on our hands?


But the one that almost had me spitting out my coffee was:

— @jameschappers
