Being informed is not the same as being intelligent though so I don't think that's what is being implied there.
Being informed in this context is just having information about politics/policies. You should probably just take on what he actually said there, rather than twisting what he says.

"As well as being more inclined towards Labour, evidence suggests UK Twitter users are unrepresentative of the population in another way - they are far more politically engaged."
Those who are more politically engaged are more likely to vote Labour.
Or Twitter uses are young and young people are more likely to vote Labour. Correlation not causation.
A politically engaged and intellectual 55 year old (who's likely to be a Tory) is unlikely to be active on Twitter.
does politically engaged just mean vocal? It’s not exactly a healthy platform to proclaim your a Tory voter on!
The context being you were moaning about maybe losing one of your properties.
Had no idea this was on tonight until just now. Tories have sent their answer to Ed Miliband along again, he's dreadful.
the implication is that I am I’ll informed. The reality is I won’t lose any of my properties, it it will seriously restrict who I rent to and/ or will sell on my terms before any such legislation comes into effect. This will reduce good quality rental properties and push up the cost of the remaining stock. Not a good idea.
Really hope I don't get the jihadi virus.
She's giving a lot of time to the Conservative voice
I've picked up on that too.She's giving a lot of time to the Conservative voice
Christ Burgon is bad.
What debate are you watching he’s been absolutely fine so far.
He's just full of soundbites.
Are any of them good? I mean, this is dreadful stuff. Nothing we’ve not heard a trillion times before.
Nope, they're all shite. Sturgeon probably the best.
He’s answering the questions put to him in a decent manner. In those answers he has to hammer home the campaign slogans because that’s what has been focus-grouped and is something that will resonates with people when thinking about Labour.
Most of them are like that to be fair. Short sentences and basic wording.
Just switched this on. Labour guy really boring. Farage doing his drunk racist uncle act.
The Labour guy won't give a straight answer to any of the questions.
I understand how it works, I just think he's a poor orator in all honesty.
It's a shame there's no Green Party candidate standing in my area as they would almost certainly get my vote.
He’s not the best but he’s doing fine. Bar Sturgeon and Farage who are natural public speakers he’s doing better than the others.
They’re appealing to the basic folk. The rational folk will not make their mind up on a whim.
Farage 
Nigel Farage, oh dear.
Oh shit the Plaid leader! 
He dropped the P bomb!Oh shit the Plaid leader!
Oh shit did he come out on national telly? I didn’t even know he existed before these debates.Oh shit the Plaid leader!
I just rewinded to that as I missed the word I thought it was about him being gay

I got round to watching Marr. Now is he so ill informed that he's unable to call out lies like the above or (the more likely) are they just so afraid of losing access to the Tories that they won't call out the lies
You think living in more equal society means everyone giving up their iPhones(You aren't the first ill informed tory on here who thinks getting rid of iPhones is the answer to all our problems).
So why did you say you would ?
Anyway the reality is your a land lord, the labour party can't win you over without destroying the party base and really the only thing that annoys me about people like yourself(Bar of course the awful actions that happen due to the way you vote, e.g. British weapons being used to kill kids in Yemen)is the lack of honesty. Why bother saying its somehow the fault of the Labour Party for no wining you over when you have multiple properties, why lie about how people love renting and don't in fact want to buy a home, why act surprised when people insult you because your voting for a party that has destroyed the very poorest in this country over last decade and finally the warped idea that you voting tory isn't in your own self interest.
Although in fairness you lot have never really changed -
“The Tories in England long imagined that they were enthusiastic about monarchy, the church, and the beauties of the old English Constitution, until the day of danger wrung from them the confession that they are enthusiastic only about ground rent.”
I just rewinded to that as I missed the word I thought it was about him being gay
He said bumboys as well. I didn't know he was gay either, but I can't even remember his name now tbf.Just switched the debate on as i didn't even know about it. Sometimes i think Burgon is just Milliband in a fat suit
Have politicians always lied this blatantly?
I can't remember if it was me or some other wise soul (
), but someone on here said having a general election before Brexit was resolved was a horrendous mistake....got to agree the way things are going.
The only thing getting the Tories it's lead is the brexit issue. They've been slaughtered on every other issue.

Rish Sunak. I feel he really believes in the Tory cause and lies. He shamelessly parrots their rubbish. Poor guy.

They get away with it and are now quite brazen and confident in doing so.
Incredibly frustrating.
Interesting, and unsurprising, to hear Farage defending Johnson & co over the 'Trump wants to buy the NHS' claim. Figures.
