🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

If you've got a child calling for people to drown I'd suggest that might be a matter for social services. Clearly that child has been radicalised

Who else finds it infuriating to stand for minutes at the self-checkout in #Morrisons waiting for the one lethargic staff member to wander over so you can ask for a plastic (or paper) bag. Such an absurd system.

Given her support and love for and to the trans community I felt it was a poor choice for the BBC News to quote Rowling’s tribute to Dolly Parton.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Where to start with this? Firstly, what it alleges is entirely ridiculous, but sadly there are people who will believe it. Secondly, this impersonation of a site strikes me as criminal (?) but the Express themselves should be getting it taken down. Of course, by then, gullibles will have seen it.

This is not misinformation. That's what I normally cover - something out of context, an opinion quoted as fact, or a deliberate misinterpretation... This is none of those. This is full-on disinformation. Because that is NOT from the Express. It is entirely fake😱 🧵 1/10

Yet another totally misleading headline that completely mis-represents the facts presented in the article and, of course, the usual targets of this kind of insidious misinformation will never read past the headline. This sort of thing should be outlawed (due to being damaging to societal cohesion).

Farage’s narcissism has handed Clacton a once in a century chance to make history: A chance to establish itself as a beacon of British good sense, humour and democracy by electing Count Binface. The World and his wife know who Farage is. Clacton voters will be derided forever if they reelect Farage.
