Not a joke, a typo - it's "Spin v.s. Trust" - http://twitter.com/alphagov/status/68322599503011840

Can't help but feel that they opted for spin over trust in that reply, I can't see how they meant that to be a 'v'.

My guess, and obviously I could be wrong, is that it was an internal joke, but not meant to be for public consumption for fear that people wouldn't get it and would criticise them for it.

It's clearly a 'v', the marker was just a bit dry. Go do something productive.
