In the case of the Raab ‘tweet’ - he didn’t actually tweet that - as AndyP says. It was part of a wider discussion in which Raab discussed the things they were going to do because of the pivotal nature of Dover - Calais.
Remember “The medium is the message”? That’s why I find it troubling.
By insinuating (spade a spade - lying, essentially) that Raab had tweeted such a thing it painted the picture of him as a tech and self-marketing illiterate ‘thicko’ who would squander his Twitter capital on such a ‘revelation’.
The reality was pretty different, I think.
