The National Trust has posted a sarcastic tweet in a row with the Spectator over claims of 'bullying' and how job applicants are rejected if they voted Leave.
A post from the British charity, which has since been deleted, told followers it had been busy 'flushing someone's head down the toilet' and has to go 'pinch someone's lunch money'.
The tweet was made in response to an article from the Spectator, which was based on an anonymous source, alleging that people are asked how they voted in the Brexit referendum during interviews at the charity and are turned away if they voted Leave.
It also alleged an 'atmosphere of fear and bullying' at the organisation.
The National Trust has vehemently denied these claims, describing them as 'plain ludicrous' and 'without evidence or foundation'. It has also asked for a retraction of the article.
Speaking to MailOnline, the trust confirmed it shared the derisive tweet but removed it from their feed shortly after posting, saying it 'tries to remain mature in its outlook' but 'everyone has their limits'.
