Not that there is anything they should be sorting out.

It’s a story about Tweets. Therefore it is of no consequence.

While one might wish that to be true, the lies spread in politics impact people no matter the medium.

The main story was about a Labour politician who accidentally retweeted a picture of an erect penis and the reaction to it (her tweet, not the penis). It's totally inconsequential. I don't care. Nor should you, nor should any of the people who piled in to say how awful it was. Apparently, the Labour leadership ignored the whole thing (the Twitter storm, not the penis), which was the right thing to do IMO.
