The events and live music sector has been calling on the Conservative Government for COVID-19 insurance help for months. So has @theSNP and many Tory MPs, including members of the @CommonsDCMS Committee. Why is the UK Culture Secretary not listening and helping? https://t.co/F5PsClZee4 — PolitiTweet.org

Crossing over to the Commons to ask why ministers won’t help the events & live music industry with insurance guarantees. Don’t haud your breath for an answer… https://t.co/g8Xz0iog7D — PolitiTweet.org

Citizens Advice Scotland do very important work across Scotland providing free, one-to-one and impartial general advice on employment, housing, debt, benefits and consumer issues. In @The_PA today, I'm supporting their campaign to raise awareness of scams. @clacks_cab @PerthCAB https://t.co/pzgTuZV9sF — PolitiTweet.org

@SJCooper68 @C4Ciaran @Channel4News Exactly. And that’s why in the fight against disinformation we have all to learn to distinguish between reliable sources and unreliable ones. Wikipedia / YouTube = unreliable. @Channel4News = reliable. — PolitiTweet.org

@speirag You can’t group all journalists together any more than you can group all politicians together. The fight against disinformation requires that citizens identify reliable sources and arm themselves with facts. — PolitiTweet.org

“Nonagenarian - that’s someone in their nineties” @BBCr4today presenter explains helpfully. — PolitiTweet.org

@MichaelLCrick Well most presenters wouldn’t. And those who do only do so with politicians assumed to be lovable. They’d never say “how are you doing Treeza?” — PolitiTweet.org

@davidmacdougall @osis I try to avoid them and have discovered the block button is a useful tool. When those Twitter fringes met electoral reality this May the two extremes scored 1.7% and 0.7% respectively. — PolitiTweet.org

@davidmacdougall @osis Scotland isn't ranked separately by @osis - which would have been useful. I'd like to think we do better than rUK in some areas such as #COVID19 disinformation. — PolitiTweet.org

“You must always factcheck. The number one rule: no Wikipedia, and always three or four different and reliable sources,” said Mathilda, 18. “We learn that basically in every subject.” #Finland starts its fight against #disinformation in primary schools. https://t.co/WKsQmLVqSK — PolitiTweet.org

@Steve__Clare Indeed. But the UK Olympic team isn't (nor should it be) subject to political control. And so such a bill would have no effect whatsoever. — PolitiTweet.org
