"The Conservative party was accused of duping the public last night after rebranding one of its official Twitter accounts as “factcheckUK” during the first big televised debate of the election.
The campaign stunt turned the @CCHQPress account — which is controlled by the Tory media team and verified by Twitter — into what appeared to be an independent fact-checking service covering the ITV clash between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn.
With a purple banner and check-mark logo, the branding played down links to the Tory party, bar a reference to “from CCHQ” in small print. The look made it hard to distinguish from other fact-checking services developed by independent organisations and media groups such as the BBC, the Guardian and Channel 4.

It seems this happened last night WHILE the tv clash between Johnson and Corby was LIVE on tv:
