Bad information ruins lives. It promotes hate, damages people’s health, and hurts democracy. You deserve better.
Recent fact checks
A Daily Telegraph front page article claimed resident doctors are demanding an “almost 30% pay rise” on top of their 5.4% raise this year.
This is not accurate, and the Telegraph has since corrected its report. The BMA is asking for a 29% rise on top of last year’s pay, not this year’s.
Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice MP claimed that “without a doubt” the current Labour government has “allowed the biggest influx of migrants in British history”.
Neither we nor the Migration Observatory have seen any evidence that this is true of overall migration.
A video is being shared on social media with claims it shows “destroyed Russian warplanes”, after a recent surprise drone attack by Ukraine.
This is not genuine footage. The video shows clear signs that it was very likely created using artificial intelligence (AI).
