Recent fact checks
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak claimed in a video this week that the UK’s national debt “is falling”.
That’s not correct. The latest figures show national debt has increased over the last year. Public sector net debt is forecast to fall from next year, but underlying debt is not forecast to fall for several years.
UK economyShadow health secretary Wes Streeting claimed an extra million patients are on waiting lists compared to this time last year.
That's not correct. The total number of extra patients compared to November 2022 is more like half a million—not a whole million.
New waiting list dataA video circulating online claims to show Palestinians lying under what appear to be shrouds, while occasionally moving, to pretend they are dead.
This is not true. The video shows a student protest at a university in Cairo, Egypt, and has been on YouTube since 2013.
