"If you are too ill-informed or ideologically driven to speak factually on masks @Nigel_Farage then please just stop. Spreading medical disinformation (in this case the erroneous claim that theres no evidence showing masks protect against flu) is just dangerous. Youre meant to be a serious politician not an irresponsible demagogue 🤷♀"
