They will spread the message to more people who will laugh at it. If it really is part of a deliberate strategy is phenomenally stupid.

It's really not. Because the other thing that happens is that the algorithm goes "oh hey everyone is talking about this!" And will show it to everyone.

The way an average person thinks Twitter works is not how it actually works, and Twitter works hard to make that the case, because its real purpose is to get as many people seeing brands' posts.

Also his dad famously helped get Mick Jagger and Keith Richards out of prison when they were convicted on drug charges.

Maybe he helped get a marriage license for the other Stone when he married that 13 year old. That seems right up the alley of a British upper crust poseur.

One of the biggest misapprehensions in politics right now is that elections are won by appealing to a vast middle. That may have been true once, but with the increasing polarization (at least in the US, I assume it's the same in the UK). The truth is much more that it's about getting your respective base out.

Your base are the people who actually follow all this bullshit like us, and yell at their friends who don't really care to vote. That's the real way to win elections.

Who cares they were voting Tory anyway

My point is that if this is an actual strategy I struggle to see who it's actually supposed to sway

Like I mentioned in my later post, it's all about the base. They are human and get cold feet like anyone else. Seeing a bunch of stupid libs yelling at their candidate convinces them to be more strident.
