Do we actually know that Tory head office is sending them out? It's suspicious, I grant you, and the tweets are quite similar. But it could be coincidence (only so many ways you can write that), and it could just as much be some food bank charity that's written to MPs to drum up support for food banks in the run up to Christmas. Granted, the cynical Tory plot story is more appealing and more likely, but there doesn't seem to be evidence of it.
