https://news.sky.com/story/tories-criti ... e-11865342The Conservative Party has been criticised after one of its official Twitter accounts was rebranded as a fact-checking service.
The Conservative Campaign Headquarters press office renamed its account "factcheckUK" for the duration of Tuesday evening's debate between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn.
Those in charge of the account then wrote commentary on the Labour Party leader's statements and retweeted messages supporting Mr Johnson.But some raised concerns it could be mistaken for independent fact checkers Full Fact, which described the Tory move as "inappropriate and misleading".
Labour's David Lammy called for the Electoral Commission to investigate, saying it showed "what disdain this party and this government has for the truth".A spokesperson for the Electoral Commission said: "Voters are entitled to transparency and integrity from campaigners in the lead up to an election, so they have the information they need to decide for themselves how to vote.
"The Electoral Commission seeks to deliver transparency to the public through the political finance rules; while we do not have a role in regulating election campaign content, we repeat our call to all campaigners to undertake their vital role responsibly and to support campaigning transparency."

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

https://newsthump.com/2019/11/20/tory-p ... dhotnudes/There has been widespread condemnation for the Tory Party for the decision to change the name of their Twitter press account to ‘RedHotNudes’ for the duration of the leaders’ debate.
Although it retained the familiar @CCHQPress Twitter Handle, the name had been changed along with the header photo, which had been replaced with what seemed to be a screengrab of a Babestation girl.
The thumbnail appeared to have been changed to the head of a penis, but could have been Sajid Javid, it’s not always easy to tell.
“It’s a ruddy disgrace is what it is,” explained sexual pervert Simon Williams.
“The wife wanted to watch this debate lark, so I thought I’d spend a pleasant hour looking at naked people engaged in consensual acts on the Internet.
“Imagine my disappointment at clicking on this new Twitter RedHotNudes profile only to be confronted with a series of lies about Brexit and a video about Boris Johnson making a cup of tea whilst lying.
“It shouldn’t be allowed.”
The Tories denied that it was another in a long line of duplicitous and unpleasant tricks to spread their propaganda.
“Just a bit of harmless fun,” explained Michael Gove, the Tory Party House Elf.
“I’m sure that most people would have found a genuine twitter porn account.
“If not, they should have asked. If there’s one thing Tories know, it’s where to find porn.”
The Tory Party press account was changed back to its familiar branding for several hours before being replaced with the name -‘Vote Tory or Santa won’t bring you presents’ – and a picture of Father Christmas with a ‘vote Tory’ sticker on his sleigh.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Re: UK election
Interesting, because you might think the "conservative campaign HQ press office" Twitter handle might be "@CCHQPress", but then your next post quotes...The Conservative Campaign Headquarters press office renamed its account "factcheckUK" for the duration of Tuesday evening's debate between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn.
Soooo... Which am I supposed to believe? They left the @handle but changed the name to "RedHotNudes"... "for the duration of the debate", or they renamed it to "factcheckUK" for the duration?There has been widespread condemnation for the Tory Party for the decision to change the name of their Twitter press account to ‘RedHotNudes’ for the duration of the leaders’ debate.

Or should I just figure they're both fake news?

You're right though, British politics is a joke right now.
A lying, cheating, Islamophobic fop on one side and an anti-Semitic, IRA excusing, Marxist twat on the other.
It's all good for the Libs and Greens though.

I'd side with the Republicans if they would side against the New Marxists.

You are forgetting that the Provos are a bunch of radical commies themselves.
