One of Kent's most prominent politicians has reportedly been targeted by hackers.
Tom Tugendhat, who has represented Tonbridge and Malling in parliament and is standing for re-election, took to Twitter to reveal a Google address in his name had been "pushing out lies" to the South China Morning Post.
The 46-year-old, who lives near Edenbridge, said: "In the last few hours a @Google address claiming to be me has been pushing out lies to @SCMPNews and offering an email interview.
"Clearly someone has decided my voice should be hidden by a cloud of lies."
Three hours later he tweeted: "@Google have suspended the fake account.
"That is quick and I’m very grateful. Thank you @GoogleUK"
Google have been contacted for comment.
