Tory MP Rob Wilson intended to post a link to a story about a complaint against the BBC. But instead his 3,700 followers were directed to a site promoting porn films and "live sex shows." Tory MP Rob Wilson, an aide to Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, inadvertently tweeted the link to a porn site to his 3,700 followers The Reading East MP thought he was linking to a story about the BBC, but used a link sent to him by Tory HQ Tory insiders have struggled to explain how the embarrassing gaffe happened, but have insisted the Reading East MP is not to blame. The web bungle come just weeks after Tory MPs were told by the party leaders to think before they tweet. Strategists were worried that backbenchers were embarrassing the party through their use of the social media site. Conservative sources insisted Mr Wilson was not to blame for the 'technical glitch' Mr Wilson posted a tweet complaining about an interview with Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, in which he was challenged over whether he could live on £53-a-week. It later emerged that the caller to BBC Radio 4, David Bennett, actually had a much higher income. Mr Wilson thought he was posting a link to a story on the Guido Fawkes blog about Tory MP Dominic Raab complaining to the BBC's new director general. He wrote: "I see Guido has a piece about the #BBC's interview with IDS. A formal complain to Lord Hall. Deserved in this case. But the link actually took users to Sexydigg.com, which promotes hardcore sex and adult videos. Today it emerged he was sent the link by Tory party headquarters, who have sought to exert greater control on tweeting MPs by sending them messages to promote to their followers. Mr Wilson is understood to be unhappy about what Conservative sources have described as a "technical glitch." A source said: "Rob Wilson expressed an interest in a story and he was sent a link. It appears there was a technical glitch and we're looking into it. It later emerged that when the link was sent to Mr Wilson a number was missing. The link ending 'cp2nso' went to the porn site but the link ending 'cp25nso' went to the story on the Guido Fawkes site.
