It means “no comment, or at least no comment that I can make without being deleted”.

It dates from Gordon Brown’s infamous webchat.

It’s a jammy dodger and it is basically for when someone is so wrong/twatty/GF you can’t even be arsed to type out a reply/the reply would be deleted.

Quick question in follow up to this.....

Is it typically when the OP is taking the biscuit/wrong/OTT or the person they're posting about?

Hello @Robyn847 it's generally used, off label, to denote 'no comment'.
