This has to be one of the eeriest photos I’ve ever taken. We are slowly heading from the Rockies to Vancouver and stopped in wine country. There are wildfires are here and the smoke is everywhere. I feel sorry for the locals - not only are their lives affected but tourism is dead.

A view across Lake Okanagan. It’s a tan colour as the lake (Lower third), the mountains (mid third) and sky (upper third) are just hazy thanks to smoke.

This is not misinformation. That's what I normally cover - something out of context, an opinion quoted as fact, or a deliberate misinterpretation... This is none of those. This is full-on disinformation. Because that is NOT from the Express. It is entirely fake😱 🧵 1/10

Lembit Opik tweet:

Burnham's big migration plan: take 4,000 stranded migrants from Ceuta, bring them to the UK and put them up in luxury hotels. Americans look at Europe in despair. 

Express Headline: Burnham's migrant, Campbell, 1,000 stranded in Ceuta to be brought to UK. The Prime Minister proposes flying thousands of stranded migrants from Spanish enclave to Britain and housing them in London hotels.

Really enjoying being a tourist in Toronto. Took a ferry to Ward’s Island for a walk, coffee, a swim in Lake Ontario and lunch. Dinner in the city tonight ready for a #Rush day tomorrow

The more I've looked at this story, the angrier I've become. Misleading headlines designed to push a divisive narrative are bad enough. But headlines that risk vulnerable people doing something they’re not allowed to do are deeply irresponsible. 1/3
