Lisa Nandy is flouncing off Twitter and taking her Department of "Culture" with her.
I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too.

A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate.
It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.
Even Cadwalladr thinks this is bollocks!
1) It’s *literally* your job to regulate this platform.

2) If you can’t, what does that mean? Tell us.
3) The Dept of Culture is not ‘your’ department, it’s ours. You’re its temporary custodian
5) But Facebook is ok? Really? https://t.co/0tBJm3IfW6
Nandy had no problem using Twitter when it helped Labour get elected. She's posted on it over 10'000 times in total since 2009.
Now that she is facing scrutiny, she's suddenly decided the platform is the problem.
It goes without saying that her post announcing her flounce, has of course had the comments turned off!
This is stage one of the government's plans to try to shut Twitter down.
