Tory MPs bombard social media with pro-environmental messages after Blue Planet II

Coordinated social media strategy saw Conservatives post preprepared graphics about the government's environmental policies

After a number of viral headlines last month incorrectly claimed that Tory MPs had voted that animals weren't sentient and don't feel pain, Conservative MPs wanted social media users to be left in no doubt where they stood on marine conservation issues.

As the final episode of the BBC's Blue Planet II finished on Sunday evening, MP after MP went on Twitter to push the government's environmental policies, with a string of preprepared, Conservative-branded graphics.
