Sol Campbell's been on Twitter for just two months and he has already generated quite the backlash after labelling Labour "the grim reaper of business entrepreneurs".

Campbell was referring to Ed Miliband's flagship plan to impose a mansion tax on properties worth £2 million or more in the UK.

The former Arsenal and England defender launched into an outburst as never-ending as his sliding tackle and the replies kept on comin'...

@SolManOfficial @UKLabour It's ok, just let the Tories penalise all the people that bought you your house instead, Sol.
