Sajid Javid mercilessly mocked for 'pocket tweeting' the letter I
Home Secretary Sajid Javid has been mercilessly mocked after “pocket tweeting” the letter I.
The MP for Bromsgrove accidentally sent out the tweet on Sunday morning sparking a string of hilarious responses.
He tweeted the letter I, before sending out another post a few minutes later that read "...pocket tweeted" with a side-eyes emoji.
It had echoes of the time former shadow chancellor Ed Balls tweeted his own name.

While others used it to complete sentences about what Mr Javid might really think of Prime Minister Theresa May and her Brexit plan.
