I think this is being caused by the & but not sure how to fix it. Encoding it as %26 didn't work, i.e. it did then successfully tweet but did not show an ampersand! https://twitter.com/eastleighmp/status/1282246593815732224

Need to use the --raw-data option with encoded tweet text to fix the & problem. See twitter/twurl#33

Hopefully fixed now

Note: apparently html entity encoding is expected with the Twitter API, so decoding entities in retrieved Tweets should be ok...
