MP’s web history back to haunt him

A Conservative MP has been left red-faced after he sought to expose what he thought was a shameless piece of political money-spinning by Labour.

When Gavin Barwell clicked on a link tweeted by Labour and found a press release accompanied by an advertisement urging readers to “date Arab girls”, what he mistook to be questionable Labour profiteering off a dating website, actually revealed a targeted advert for his computer.

The politician wasted no time firing off a tweet, The Guardian newspaper has reported.
