Did claims in the Budget debate - from the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch - add up?
Our fact check round-up looks at claims about income tax thresholds, waiting lists, unemployment, house building and more.
The Budget has prompted lots of debate about whether the chancellor has broken or kept Labour’s manifesto commitments on tax.
Our politics blog explains why Full Fact’s Government Tracker is now rating two parts of Labour’s overarching pledge on tax as ‘Not kept’.
Social media posts have claimed Tesco is not celebrating Christmas this year, rebranding its Christmas trees as “evergreen” or “alpine”.
This is misleading. At least one of Tesco’s trees is labelled “evergreen”, but it continues to sell other artificial trees labelled as Christmas trees on its website.
