Twisting together then fitting sleeving over both doesn't insulate the
earth properly, as it will still be exposed at the sheath end.


Do you insulate the metal boxes they connect to?

The idea of the sleeving is to minimise the possibility of a short. And
the end of the outer sheath is often nicely positioned to catch a
terminal. Twisting earths together all their length also makes it more
difficult to 'page' the runs neatly. But carry on doing this if you are
too mean to pay for more lengths of sleeving.
