Recent fact checks
The Sunday Times reported that Labour’s shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves said fewer homes are being built than at any time since the Second World War.
This isn’t what the latest house building figures show. More homes are being created than a decade ago, though one industry projection suggests building could hit a post-war low in the coming years.
House buildingHealth secretary Steve Barclay said the number of patients in Wales “escaping” to seek treatment in England has increased by 40% in two years.
This seems to be based on unpublished data—the media has reported a similar rise between 2020/21 and 2022/23. The number of non-Welsh patients travelling to Wales for treatment also rose by 55% between 2020/21 and 2021/22.
Cross-border careIt’s been claimed a video of rockets in the sky which has been shared on social media in the last few days shows a “new air assault” on Israel.
This isn’t true. The video does not show events which have taken place recently but instead dates from May 2021, which saw a separate period of violence.
