Grumpy ex-Tory MP Stewart Jackson launches tirade of abuse at former constituent – calling him a ‘pillock’ and a ‘thick chav’
The former MP for Peterborough lashed out on Facebook after losing his seat last week
A GRUMPY ex-Tory MP has apparently launched a tirade of abuse at a former constituent - calling him a "pillock" and a "thick chav".
Stewart Jackson, the former MP for Peterborough lashed out on Facebook after losing his seat last week.
Christian Stanley shared screenshots of his messaged with the former politician - who dropped him a line after he had written a number of posts on his Facebook page detailing his election expenses.
On Monday evening the ousted politician, who is a prominant Brexiteer, said he was enjoying "not having to engage with thick chavs like you".
He went on to call him a "pillock", a "cowardly keyboard warrior" and accused him of holding "the most obnoxious views".
Mr Jackson, who held the seat from 2005 until last week, also appeared to threaten the man, saying: "You're incapable of being enlightened but if you print any s**t about me on Facebook in the future you will regret it."
He describes himself on Twitter bio as: "Helping people and businesses make Brexit a success. Local resident, husband & father and now a private citizen."
Mr Stanley said when sharing the messages: "Having never spoken to him before, he contacted me via FB and what followed was a barrage of abuse and name calling by him. He was contacting me because I left some remarks about him on social media regarding his MPs expenses...
"This vile man was serving in government and representing Peterborough in the House of Commons."
The Facebook messages in full
Stewart Jackson: Not many benefits of losing the election but one of them is probably not having to engage with thick chavs like you Stanley. Bye for now...
Christian Stanley: Wow. That's not a considered response I expect from an MP (ex MP).
Stewart Jackson: You spelt it right which is a surprise. You're so thick you could chop meat on your head.
Christian Stanley: "Very interesting response from an ex MP describing his constituents. Bit appalled you have described me as a "thick chav" and you do not even know me?
Stewart Jackson: You're not my constituent pillock as you've just acknowledged. I'm a private citizen and don't have to take any cr*p from you. YOU don't know ME but feel free like a cowardly keyboard warrior to print the most obnoxious views about me so how's that different?
Christian Stanley: So what's Mr Jackson. Please enlighten me? I mean so what's not true.
Stewart Jackson: You're incapable of being enlightened but if you print any shit about me on Facebook in the future you will regret it.
Christian Stanley: Why will I regret it Mr Jackson?
Mr Jackson was one of the Tory MPs to lose his seat in last week's election - which saw Jeremy Corbyn's party enjoy a surge in support.
Earlier this week he also sent out a sassy tweet at the news that Theresa May's co-chiefs of staff would be getting a £35,000 payout.
The pair quit over the weekend as knives came out for who was responsible for running the campaign which lost the Tories their majority in Parliament.
And Mr Jackson tweeted: "Hope Nick Timothy & Fiona Hill enjoy the £35k redundo for < a year in Downing St. I'm getting half that for 12 years service in Commons."

Lots of his Twitter folllowers were quick to make fun of him for the sassy comments, however.
One said: "And you wonder why some people think tories are out of touch? Get a grip mate."
Another said: "Don't worry, he's not an MP any more because he lost. LOL."
He also called another Twitter user "potty mouthed" over the weekend for saying the party was not pro-Brexit.
Mr Jackson also blocked one user, saying: "You have 35 followers Richard. Syphillis is more popular than you. Bye. Blocked."
