Sue Cullen, 40, from Mid Bedfordshire has defended her position after Ms Dorries, wrote on her blog asking for those who knew of anyone who has tweeted more than 35,000 times in less than six months to get in touch.
She added: “Or better still if it’s someone you know is on benefits, contact the DWP.” Then it emerged that one Twitter – under the name Humphrey Cushion – had posted 35,000 tweets in recent months.
Ms Dorries wrote that she was informed that the Twitter claimed to be a ‘Labour activist website organiser for Bedfordshire – or something similar’.
Ms Cullen, 40, who has chronic arthritis said: “I am lonely and sit on my own all day so I do tweet a lot.
“Fifty tweets takes about ten minutes so it’s not as if it takes long. I am kind and generous with my time because I have got sod all else to do.
“It’s an outrageous thing to say and I think it shows Ms Dorries’ true colours.” Because she is unfit to work as a carer, Ms Cullen receives longterm sick pay from the agency she is employed by, but says she doesn’t get any ‘health related benefits’.
Ms Cullen (above), who recently volunteered to set up her own blog for the Mid Beds Labour group also writes erotic fiction for a blog called Word Ejaculation.
She said: “My friend set it up about a month ago and asked me to be involved so I said yes.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it because the blog isn’t offensive and it’s for adults. I don’t see why disabled people shouldn’t be allowed to have a sex life and I wanted to show that.” Earlier this week the website was briefly removed by its host but later restored.
“To date, Ms Cullen has tweeted 37,000 times, a phenomenal amount, many of which have been about me personally.
“I do not regard someone who can strut around, use a keyboard with such dexterity and had displayed both stamina and an excellent attention span to be ‘disabled’.
“In fact, I think someone who can tweet so frequently is giving housebound disabled people a bad name.”
