A new technique emerged over the local elections; spinning on social media ahead of real results not only to take the sting out of heavy defeats - "we expected this all along"; but hinting, absolutely incorrectly, at possible surprise wins, just to disrupt things.
Now that we have an actual swing from the Conservatives to Labour, I’d be interested in the sourcing of “it is clear tonight”. (The final Savanta poll got the result pretty much right.) https://t.co/UKrrn7Grar

As rumours circulate, listen to Laura Kuenssberg, Adam Fleming, Chris Mason and Faisal Islam on #BBCNewscast’s Local Electioncast
Pretty much exactly what BBC journalists should NOT be doing.
