Notes on Fake Video , Twitter, BBC, Good Morning ITV

Election will not go on like this, much too early , normally hear a little bit of Today and go back to sleep.

But the bit I heard still about Fake Video. So these notes in one place, will become tweets.

Matt Hancock reposting Conservative video mashup from Good Morning Britain with Sir Keir Starmer. Identified as misleading by @BBCDanielS , noticed by @RobBurl . Not sure if still there.

Cannot remember exactly who said what when but reponse to Outside Source and Today -

It is not normal to deliberately make false statements to get attention. Bannon has a theory about it. Trump gets on with it. But in UK only the Leave promoters have gone for scale. Cameron resisted the idea, not sure what Mandelson suggested ( joke ) Maybe the people are the same or changed but this recent Fake Video is from the Conservative Party / #No10Sources.

This will not blow over or be forgotten later. It will set the tone of the election. Presumably the Conservative Party intends to continue in the same manner. What to expect from others? Nancy Pelosi has been slowed down to appear age challenged. Do we want more of this sort of thing in UK?

Twitter blocks political adverts. Is there any policy on what potential MPs can post? @MattHancock

What can ITV make of it? The satire is aimed at the way interviews are done. Sir Keith Starmer more or less survives.
