A video critique of socialism, featuring a well spoken attractive lady, went viral on various social media platforms earlier this year. The video originated on TikTok and was copied to other platforms with no credit, the only clue to her identity being the name of a now deleted TikTok account - 'Rebecca Paul in Surrey'. We can now reveal that she is none other than the Conservative MP for Reigate, Rebecca Paul.
The one and a half minute video can be seen below.
The story she tells is nothing new, having first appeared online around 2009 and revisited many times over ever since. Paul's version is no different, in fact she has read one of the most popular versions word for word, adding only the line at the very end: "And that is socialism my friends, a race to the bottom."
Paul made the video before she was elected as an MP in July, having posted it to TikTok last year. However, it later mysteriously disappeared from her TikTok account and it is not clear whether she removed it or the communist censors based in China. Her account has since disappeared altogether, again no clue as to why.
Is it acceptable to criticise socialism in today's left-leaning non-conservative party?
Ms Paul told us in an email: "I made the decision to deactivate my Tiktok account last year for a variety of reasons. I do have the option to reactivate it in the future if I so wish".
