A video depicts an MP asking Parliament why Benjamin Netanyahu can’t be captured and brought to court in a similar manner to Nicolás Maduro.
This is an AI fabrication. There is no serving MP that matches the likeness of the man seen speaking in the clip and no such comments were made in Parliament.
Conservative shadow minister Alex Burghart MP claimed that unemployment has risen “in every single month” since Labour took office.
That’s not quite right. The number of people who are unemployed and the unemployment rate have increased overall under Labour, but both have seen some month-to-month decreases.
A video showing explosions has been shared online with claims about recent US military strikes in the port of Caracas and on Margarita Island in Venezuela.
This footage has nothing to do with recent events in Venezuela. It dates back to October 2024 and was filmed in Israel.
