The end of a busy year…

20 December 2024

It’s been a busy year for Full Fact’s politics team. 

In 2024 we’ve covered a whole series of major political events, including, of course, July’s general election, as well as two Budgets, the autumn party conferences and a Conservative leadership election. 

Oh, and there was an election on the other side of the Atlantic too. 

In November we were excited to launch our Government Tracker, to monitor progress on the government’s delivery against its promises. We’ll be keeping this up to date in the coming weeks and months—today we’ve just updated the page covering Labour’s pledge on more NHS appointments to reflect the latest data—and we’ll be adding new pledges too. All alongside our regular work to call out false or misleading claims by, or about, politicians. 

We’re now taking a break over Christmas, but there’ll be lots to pick up when we return in 2025. In the meantime we wish our readers a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
