Personal trainer from Wales unmasked as man behind Secret Tory Twitter account

A Welsh personal trainer has unmasked himself as the person behind the Secret Tory Twitter account. Henry Morris, who lives near Crymych in West Wales, has now revealed he is the mastermind behind the account which has has gained close to 200,000 followers since its debut in 2019, and published a book in 2022.

Morris' sharply anti-Conservative satire sprang to prominence as Brexit dominated the news prior to the UK's withdrawal from the EU and the account has since taken a life of it's own, going by the username: @secrettory12 on Twitter. The personal trainer announced that he would be revealing his true identity towards the end of May, and anticipation has been brewing ever since.

People who have been following the account closely had started to speculate that it is either run by a famous comedian or a real-life member of parliament. Morris, though, is an ultramarathon runner and personal trainer from Yorkshire who now resides in Wales.
