I couldn’t articulate this when I was 16 but I think I wanted to spread my wings because of my sexuality. There were no lesbians in Fife in the 1960s. I knew I felt different, and quite lonely, listening to Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell on my own, feeling that sense of alienation and unhappiness. I thought my difference must be because I wanted to be a writer. If lesbians aren’t visible in your culture – no lesbians on TV, in books, in films – it’s very hard to come to that understanding by yourself.

She began writing Report for Murder (1987), the first British crime novel with a lesbian sleuth, Lindsay Gordon. “I thought, ‘This is the book I want to write, the world I want to inhabit,’” says McDermid, who’d come out to herself while at Oxford. “I wanted to write about being a lesbian, without it being one of those tub-thumping books about being a lesbian. I didn’t want to write coming-out stories. I wanted to write a story about a lesbian who has a place in the world, where her sexuality doesn’t define her. She has friendships, a life, a career, but is still uncompromisingly herself.”

The total number of deaths from Covid-19 in the UK is now at 233, the same number of deaths reported in Italy about two weeks ago.
Not enough is known about the new coronavirus to say that the number of deaths in the UK will grow at the same rates as Italy.
Correct. On 21 March, Public Health England reported a total of 233 deaths in the UK from Covid-19. However, not enough is known to say whether the number of deaths will grow at the same rate in the UK as in Italy.
51% of journalists were public school educated compared to 7% of the total population.
51% of the UK’s ‘top 100’ journalists educated and working in the UK in 2015 attended a private school, according to the Sutton Trust.
51% of the UK’s ‘top 100’ journalists educated and working in the UK in 2015 attended a private school, according to the Sutton Trust. 7% of pupils in England attend a private school—that’s been the case for at least the last 15 years. Elsewhere in the UK the proportion is lower.
Public satisfaction with the NHS is higher after seven years of Conservative government than after the first five years of the last Labour government.
Data from 2017 doesn’t necessarily tell us much about public perceptions of the NHS this winter, still less its actual performance.
It’s true that NHS satisfaction was higher in 2015 than 2002. Satisfaction went up significantly during the whole length of Labour’s last stint in power between 1997 and 2010, and has levelled off since the Conservatives entered office.
The spike protein generated by a Covid-19 vaccine can leave the site of injection and enter the bloodstream, which could possibly be causing deaths and vaccine injuries.
A Conservative Woman article repeats claims from a Canadian vaccine scientist that appear to be based on flawed assumptions.
There is some evidence that the spike proteins generated by the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine leave the site of injection. There is also evidence that the spike protein on the actual virus can damage cells that line blood vessels. However, the two different spike proteins behave very differently in the body, and so the assumption that spike proteins generated by the vaccine could also harm cells in the bloodstream is unevidenced.
A picture shows Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe smiling in a selfie while her husband and daughter look despondent.
A picture shared by an MP of the family has been digitally altered.
The photo has been altered. In the original, all three are smiling.
The NHS Confederation says cuts to social care will put pressure on hospitals.
David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn swapped quotes from health and social care leaders during Prime Minister's Questions.
Positive and negative control swabs are included in Covid-19 testing kits.
Lateral flow control swabs are used to check that the test is working properly and should not be used for patient testing.
Control swabs are included in some testing kits. These are used to check that the tests are working properly and are not for use in patient testing.
Last year some nurses starting their career got a pay rise of over 15%.
Matt Hancock claimed nurse salaries had risen significantly in recent years. These increases don’t counterbalance falls in real terms pay over the past decade.
We don’t know exactly what Mr Hancock is referring to here but it doesn’t seem right. Nurses towards the lower end of the pay scale may have seen a cash terms salary increase of 3% to 12% between 2019/20 and 2020/21. These figures are lower when you factor inflation in.
The EU has decided to increase the size of fisherman’s meshes.
Ann Widdecombe made a claim about fishing regulation during her maiden speech at the EU parliament saying they’d reduced income by 40%.
EU regulation has changed and there is now a minimum mesh size in certain areas. That came in place on 1 July 2019.
People working in restaurants and bars in Bolton that were closed because of local Covid-19 restrictions could not access any support.
The Mayor of Greater Manchester suggested that staff in closed pubs and bars in Bolton had no access to support.
This is not correct. During the local restrictions in Bolton, businesses were still able to make claims through the furlough scheme on behalf of employees who had already been furloughed for at least three consecutive weeks before July.
Nine in 10 girls experience sexist name-calling or are sent explicit photos or videos.
An Ofsted survey did not show that 90% of girls experienced it, although it does appear to be a common problem, from other evidence.
This comes from a survey that asked girls what they thought was happening among people their age—not what had happened to them personally. Sexual harassment and abuse of girls appears to be common, but the nine in 10 figure is not reliable.
Funding for pensions has increased significantly in recent years.
Public spending amounts to around 40% of the size of the economy. It’s been smaller before. It’s also been bigger before.
The state pension has increased in recent years, but because the pension age has increased, fewer people are now eligible for the pension. So while state spending on pensioner benefits has risen since 2010 it has remained stable in the last few years.
95% of applicants received an offer at one of their top three preferred schools last year.
Concerns have been raised about the ability of local authorities to cope with a predicted 20% rise in secondary pupil numbers over the next decade.
Official government reports suggest the fully vaccinated will develop AIDS by the end of the year.
An article online makes the false claim the Covid-19 vaccines cause AIDS.
It doesn’t. There are problems with both the underlying data used to come to this conclusion and the analysis of it.
Viruses are dead material expelled from healing cells. Everyone has thousands of viruses inside their body.
A post has claimed that Covid-19 can’t be spread person to person. This is the main way the disease spreads.
There is debate about whether viruses are technically alive. The human body does contain a number of viruses that don’t do harm. Covid-19 is caused by a virus that is potentially very harmful though.
Boris Johnson’s address on 4 January was filmed before 8pm and not live as claimed, and you can tell from the time on his watch.
The watch appears upside down to the viewer, but shows 8pm.
His watch showed it was 8pm and the address was live.
The government's plan to make vaccines a requirement for employment within the NHS cannot be enforced unless it is already written into the contract that you must take part in medical trials and accept unlicensed drugs.
Claims that pre-existing requirements need to be in your contract for the changes regarding vaccination of NHS staff to apply are ‘incorrect’ according to the DHSC.
This is incorrect. If the new rule becomes law, employers would be required to enforce it, regardless of pre-existing contracts.
One person was convicted for voter impersonation at the last election.
740 people did not vote due to having incorrect ID in voter ID trials in 2019. 181 people have been accused of impersonating someone else at a polling station since 2010.
A court ruled that more people are entitled to the PIP benefit because they were suffering from “overwhelming psychological distress”.
The recent tribunal ruling on the disability benefit PIP was about the interpretation and application of the language of existing regulations.
The Upper Tribunal’s decision was based on the interpretation and application of the language of the complicated PIP regulations, which include the phrase “overwhelming psychological distress”. It decided that - in relation to the case assessed - the individual’s “overwhelming psychological distress” made them satisfy additional parts of the criteria for assessing PIP eligibility.
A turtle was deformed because of plastic waste in the water.
The turtle apparently became trapped in the ring when it was younger and grew around it.
True - a plastic ring became lodged around the animal, and the turtle grew around the ring.
Patients are now waiting over two weeks on average to see a GP.
Reports that the average wait to see GPs has passed the two-week mark aren’t based on reliable evidence.
There are no reliable figures that prove this. This refers to non-urgent appointments at GP practices, but the figure isn’t necessarily representative of GP practices nor patients across the UK.
A photo shows sheep dyed by a farmer in Scotland.
This old mock-up goes viral all the time.
The photo has been edited, though farmers do sometimes dye their sheep for both practical and entertainment purposes.
Muslim women are three times as likely to be unemployed, and twice as likely not to be in the jobs market in the first place, compared to women generally.
The unemployment rate for Muslim women was 16% in 2015, compared to around 5% for women in general.
The Moderna vaccine contains SM-102 which could cause health complaints such as cancer, fertility damage and damage to the nervous system, kidneys or respiratory system.
A widely circulated video of a product safety leaflet for SM-102, shows the profile of SM-102 in solution with chloroform, which is known for its toxicity.
These claims about SM-102 are from a product safety leaflet when it is in a mixed solution with a toxic substance called chloroform. The Moderna vaccine does contain SM-102, but not chloroform.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) have advised people to use contactless payments instead of cash to reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission.
WHO advise the public to wash their hands after handling money, especially if handling or eating food.
The WHO advises the public to wash their hands after handling money, especially if handling or eating food. But they haven’t issued a warning about using banknotes.
12 to 13 million people will die through a combination of lockdown, flu and vaccine-driven pathogenic priming.
Speaker Vernon Coleman made a litany of misleading claims to an audience of hundreds in Trafalgar Square
There is no evidence this will happen. Even the largest figures do not put the potential health impacts or mortality rates attributable to lockdown or flu anywhere close to this figure. Pathogenic priming, also known as antibody-dependent enhancement, is a very rare condition and there is no evidence any of the Covid-19 vaccines cause it.
Jeff Rothschild said that to “finalise a new world order” we need a “3rd world war to exterminate 90% of the global population”.
The quote has been widely shared for years, but there is no proof that he ever said it.
There is no evidence that Mr Rothschild has ever said this. The quote has been circulating for many years, and has been fact checked many times.
Labour’s deputy leader claimed the average worker is £1,000 a year worse off now than in 2010 but this is compared to 2020, not 2021.
Over the past few months, real wages are largely stable.
You are going to die if you get tested for Covid-19.
A viral video on social media warns people against taking part in Ipsos MORI Covid testing studies.
This is false. There are no reports of anyone dying because of a Covid-19 test. It is important to get tested if you have symptoms.
While in the EU the UK can’t make trade deals on its own. This means it has no trade deals with Australia, New Zealand or the USA - or growing economies like India, China or Brazil. Instead of making a deal which is best for the UK, we have to wait for 27 other countries to agree it.
Factchecking the Vote Leave "facts" leaflet.
EU member countries can’t make trade deals separately from the rest of the EU. The EU doesn’t have trade deals with the countries named but is currently negotiating with some of them.
NHS staff at the top of band 5 earned £27,534 a year in 2010 and £30,112 a year in 2020.
Real-terms pay for staff at the top of band 5 fell from £33,007 in 2010/11 to £30,112 in real-terms between 2010/11 and 2019/20.
Correct. These are the salaries of NHS staff at the top of band 5 in England in 2010/11 and 2019/20.
Pensioners only receive £8,000 a year and still have to pay for a TV license.
A widely shared post on Facebook compares the living wage and state pension.
The amount pensioners receive varies depending on a number of factors. Over 75s do now have to pay for a TV license, with some exceptions.
Barcodes can show if a product was made in Russia.
They can only show that the company that registered the code was based there.
Barcodes can show where the company that applied for the barcode is based, but that isn’t necessarily the same as where a product was produced.
The Immensa lab, which may have given more than 43,000 inaccurate PCR test results, was fully accredited before being appointed by the government.
The government has changed its statement about the lab in question, but has not explained the discrepancy or why inaccurate information was originally released.
This was originally stated by a government spokesperson, however it later emerged that it was untrue. The government told Full Fact that the lab was in the “early stages” of accreditation, but did not explain the discrepancy between the two statements.
The UK has a huge trade deficit with the EU.
What’s the UK trade deficit with the rest of the EU - and what might that mean for our negotiating position?
The UK imported around £60 billion more goods and services from the rest of the EU than it exported there in the 12 months to September 2016, although it has a trade surplus in services alone.
Members of the Royal Family would not have attended the England vs Germany Euros 2020 match if there actually was a “deadly pandemic”.
A Facebook post wrongly suggests the presence of the Royal Family at the England vs Germany Euros 2020 match proves there’s no pandemic.
There is clearly a real pandemic. Covid-19 has killed more than 150,000 people in the UK and the Euros match was managed to reduce infections.
In England the fatality rate is 50% higher than Scotland, at 20.9%.
These figures don’t count the large numbers of people who’ve had the disease but haven’t been tested.
The proportion of people with NHS-lab confirmed cases who have died so far is 50% higher in England than in Scotland.
The survival rate of Covid-19 without vaccination is 99.8%.
An Instagram post makes misleading claims about the Covid-19 survival rate and side effects from the vaccines.
While recent data shows the UK death rate from Covid-19 is 0.2%, this was reported after those most vulnerable to Covid-19 had been vaccinated and doesn’t tell us what the survival rate in an unvaccinated population is. There is evidence that vaccines offer significant protection from serious illness and death.
700,000 people died homeless on our streets last year.
The figure is not around 700,000 as shadow chancellor John McDonnell said on the Andrew Marr show.
Incorrect. 726 people are estimated to have died in England and Wales in 2018 who were either sleeping rough or in emergency accommodation at the time of their death or shortly before.
There is a 20 fold difference between the best and worst performing councils in terms of delayed transfer of care from hospital.
There seems to be a 20 fold difference in delayed discharges from hospital between the best and worst performing councils. We’ve asked the Department of Health for more information.
Based on the latest figures this looks to be about right. We’ve asked the Department of Health for its figures.
Tesla cars have been bought to transport COP26 delegates and because there aren’t enough charging points, they will be charged via a diesel run generator.
Jaguar Land Rover electric cars will be supplied, and any generators required for charging them will be run on recycled cooking oil.
Supplied electric vehicles for the climate change conference will be Jaguar Land Rover vehicles and any generators will run on recycled cooking oil.
The UK is the EU's single largest export market.
The UK is the EU’s largest single export market in goods, if you treat the UK as if it were outside the EU.
That's right for the goods market. If you treated the UK as if it were out of the EU it would have made up 16% of the EU's goods exports in 2014. That's just ahead of the United States.
98% of global trade is done by members of the WTO, but most of this trade is done via trade agreements, not WTO rules.
The proportion of lung cancer cases only diagnosed after a visit to an A&E ranges from 15% in Guildford and Waverley in Surrey to 56% in Tower Hamlets and Manchester.
The figures in this article are inaccurate, leading to exaggerated claims about late lung cancer diagnoses in A&E.
This range is too large and not all of those will be after a visit to A&E. The correct range is from 26% in Harrogate and Rural District to 47% in Tower Hamlets.
100,000 people have arrived into the UK since the lockdown began.
Government estimates on arrivals are opaque, but recent figures suggest 100,000 is an underestimate.
The government’s estimates on this subject are opaque, but the latest figures it has been using suggest well over 100,000 people will have entered the country since mid- to late March.
There’s no extra money for Wales or Scotland to deliver the same council tax rebate scheme that was announced in England.
Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford and Scottish Finance Secretary Kate Forbes said the countries would not be receiving more money as other areas of their provisional budgets are being revised down.
The Welsh and Scottish governments are receiving money from the UK government as a result of the council tax rebate scheme, but other areas of its estimated budget have been revised downwards as a result of England’s provisional budget for those areas being revised downwards too.
An old viral post with almost 50,000 shares is now out of date.
That was an MP’s salary in 2016/17. It is now £81,932.
Conservative-led changes to corporation tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and the bank levy will lose the government £70 billion between April 2016 and April 2022.
Labour has assessed the cost of changes to corporation tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and the bank levy since 2010. They've suggested a £120 billion cost. Is that correct?
The individual figures stand up to a degree of scrutiny, but this claim gives a limited picture of how these taxes have changed overall.
A group of 43 European countries and territories have far more people than the UK, but fewer Covid-19 deaths.
The UK is not the only European country with many Covid-19 deaths.
This is correct. Although the list excludes other European countries with high death tolls, such as France, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
The Conservatives are planning to pass a Bill setting the threshold at which a referendum could pass. This would be 55% turnout, 60% in favour and two thirds of MPs agreeing to the referendum in the first place.
A Bill proposing changes to the rules around referendums has been put forward by a Conservative Lord, but has not been endorsed by the party or government.
Such a Bill has been proposed, but not by the Conservative party officially or by the government. It was put forward as a Private Members’ Bill by a Conservative member of the House of Lords and has not yet been debated.
The amount of money spent by the state is the highest it’s ever been in real and cash terms. But is not at a record high when compared to the size of the economy—the most useful measure.
The UK will spend £36 million on efforts to close the Calais “Jungle” camp
The UK has committed £36 million to “maintain security” in Calais. Some of this money will be used to close the ‘Jungle’ camp, but some is also being spent on border security and keeping child migrant
The UK has committed £36 million and some of this money will be used to close the camp, but it’s also being spent on border security and keeping child migrants safe.
Every four minutes a young person in England is diagnosed with gonorrhoea or chlamydia.
There were 144,000 diagnoses of the STIs chlamydia and gonorrhoea in young people in England last year.
In 2017, there were 144,000 diagnoses for those aged 15-24 in England or the equivalent of one every four minutes. That’s not the same as the number of people diagnosed, someone might get diagnosed more than once, or with several STIs.
The railways are owned by the Dutch and German government.
Some providers of UK utilities like energy, post and rail have links with foreign governments
Governments in Germany, the Netherlands and France are shareholders in the companies and parent companies running around a dozen UK rail franchises.
An image shows a police officer in France pepper spraying a woman recently.
The photo was actually taken at an anti-war protest in the USA in 2007.

Thomas Hughes has been attacked in prison.
Thomas Hughes was recently jailed for 21 years over the killing of his son.
125,000 care home staff have been tested for Covid-19.
In PMQs, Boris Johnson misspoke by saying 125,000 care home staff and 118,000 care home workers have been tested for coronavirus.
The Department for Health and Social Care has confirmed 125,000 staff in care settings have been tested since the start of the pandemic.
Henry Kissinger told the WHO “Council on Eugenics” that vaccines could be used to control the human population
A Facebook post claims that Henry Kissinger gave a speech on eugenics and vaccines to the Council on Eugenics. Neither the speech nor the council is real.
Dr Kissinger never said this. The meeting never happened. The Council on Eugenics does not exist.
Rishi Sunak approved £4.3 billion of Covid loans to fraudsters.
The Government did write off £8.7 billion spent on PPE—but not all of that relates to equipment which will be burnt.
This appears to refer to the amount lost to fraud and error via the income support and Eat Out to Help Out schemes which HMRC does not expect to recover.
If you are registered to vote in two places you are allowed to vote in both places during local elections.
You are allowed to register to vote in two places. In a general election you can then vote in one of them.
Correct, provided that they are in separate local authorities.
Germany has sent a bill to China for “coronavirus damages”.
An article in the Express suggested the German government had billed China for “coronavirus damages.” The bill was mocked up by a German newspaper.
Incorrect. A German newspaper drew up a mock bill but the German government has not sent a bill, as suggested.
Figures released today only show the number of EU nationals in work, not the numbers coming to the UK
This is wrong. Figures released today only show the number of EU nationals and EU born in work, not the numbers coming to the UK. The most recent migration estimates don't show record levels, but EU migration is historically high and could hit a record count when figures are released next week.
This is an image of Jeremy Corbyn at an IRA funeral.
The man in the photos has been identified by those familiar with Bobby Sands as Jim Gibney, who now serves as a political aide.
The man in the photo is not Jeremy Corbyn.
Poor British adults are less healthy than they were a generation before.
Newspapers go too far in saying that adults in low-income households are objectively less healthy than they used to be
This comes from research on how people feel about their health, which is not necessarily the same as how healthy they are. Life expectancy in low income households has risen, which suggests that their general health may not be worse.
The Conservatives are cutting income tax for 32 million people.
The Treasury estimates 32 million will benefit from tax changes between 2015/16 and 2019/20.
This is the number of people who will be paying less income tax in real terms in 2019/20 than in 2015/16. We haven’t been able to exactly replicate the figure as some of the underlying data isn’t publicly accessible – but it seems in the right ballpark.
Kobe Bryant’s daughter Natalia has died by suicide.
A website purporting to be BBC News has falsely claimed Kobe Bryant’s daughter Natalia died by suicide.
This is false, and the website making the claim is impersonating BBC News.
Tomatoes, raspberries, blackberries and lemons produce positive lateral flow test results for Covid-19.
Posts on Facebook wrongly claim that high acid foods appear to test positive for Covid-19 on lateral flow devices
These foods break the lateral flow devices creating a fake “positive” result. This doesn’t tell us anything about whether the tests are reliable when used correctly.
Theresa May u-turned on a pre-election promise to cap energy bills.
The government did introduce legislation to allow for temporary energy tariff caps, as promised in the 2017 Conservative manifesto.
Incorrect. The government did introduce a bill that would allow for energy price caps as promised. At the moment it’s progressing through parliament.
There are 80 courts in the UK enforcing Sharia law.
People can agree to ask a Sharia council to make a legally binding decision, but this must be in line with English law. No-one knows how many councils exist.
A video shows Russian and Ukrainian troops dancing together, which proves the invasion is being falsely represented by the media.
The clip was uploaded at least six days before the Russian invasion of Ukraine even began.
The video appears to predate the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and there is no proof the soldiers are from two different forces. .
Stronger leadership on the world stage — shaping our future by sitting at the top table
The Electoral Commission's EU Referendum Voting Guide has been delivered to households this week. We've checked the claims in the campaigns' arguments.
The UK already sits on many international “top tables” individually, as do representatives of the EU as a whole.
Hand sanitiser is effective against Covid-19.
Experts say soap and water is preferable, but high alcohol sanitiser does work.
Hand sanitisers with 60% alcohol content and above are effective against viruses, such as the new coronavirus, but soap and water is the best option.
You can send your old or unwanted LEGO bricks to LEGO’s Replay scheme, which donates the toys to charities that work with children.
A Facebook post incorrectly suggests that you can donate LEGO to the company’s official charity scheme, currently only available in the US and Canada.
The scheme is not yet available in the UK. There are other UK-based charitable organisations that will accept second hand LEGO.
A man was arrested for putting down fake social distancing arrows in an Ikea to confuse customers.
A post on social media about a man being arrested for creating a labyrinth in Ikea using ‘social distancing arrows’ was meant as a joke.
The story is a joke and has been circulating in a similar form since 2018.
Claims about the Covid-19 vaccines and the disease survival rate shared on Facebook aren’t quite right.
The survival rate varies by country but this estimate is too high for the UK. Estimates of the survival rate range from around 99% to 99.5%.
The UK received 24,000 asylum applications last year, far fewer than other EU countries.
Peter Sutherland of the UN is right that the UK receives fewer asylum seekers than other EU countries, but not as few as BBC listeners were led to believe.
It's 31,000 including family members, the sixth highest number in the EU. Adjusting for population size, the UK is 18th out of 30 European countries.
There is a link between Covid-19 vaccines and a new strain of HIV identified in the Netherlands.
A newly discovered variant of HIV, thought to have first arisen around 30 years ago, is being falsely linked to Covid-19 vaccinations.
There is no evidence for this. The HIV strain identified is thought to have arisen around 30 years ago.
The IFS found average working families will be £1,400 worse off because of the 2017 Budget.
This week’s Budget won’t make “average working families” £1,400 worse off, although that’s roughly the right ballpark for the long-term impact of tax and benefit changes.
That’s not correct. Figures on this scale don’t refer to the recent budget, they cover all changes to tax and benefits from 2015 to 2020. The average one-earner couple with children stands to lose £1,400 over this period and households with children overall are expected to be £1,300 worse off.
Genomic sequencing allows scientists to identify different variants of Covid-19.
Genetic analysis of positive tests allow scientists to identify different variants of Covid-19, including the Delta variant.
The government is only reconfiguring six new hospitals rather than building 40.
Another 21 hospital trusts were given money to plan for new buildings, but not to actually begin construction.
In its latest announcement the government has committed the money to upgrade six hospitals by 2025. Up to 38 other hospitals have received money to plan for building work between 2025 and 2030, but not to actually begin any work.
A video shows an emergency alert siren playing in public in London.
The UK’s siren system has been decommissioned since 1992.
It is very unlikely this happened. The UK’s civil defence siren has been retired since 1992, and most of the actual siren systems removed. We could find no other coverage of a siren playing in the area shown in the clip.
At the time of the Energy Bill’s second reading debate, 1% of the UK’s electricity was being generated by wind.
While debating the Energy Bill, MPs disputed each other’s statistics on how much of the UK’s electricity comes from wind turbines.
The gap in UK life expectancies is falling.
Most men in Stockton live much longer than men in Ethiopia, but one ward is far worse off, and the gap in UK life expectancy is widening.
Not true. The life expectancy gap between rich and poor, and between the northeast and London, is rising.
According to the ONS there have been over 128,000 deaths with Covid-19 listed as the underlying cause in England and Wales since March 2020.
The guidance has changed throughout the pandemic, however current thinking is that face masks can play a useful role in preventing the spread of Covid-19.
People with Covid-19 should not take ibuprofen
The French health minister warned people with the new coronavirus against taking ibuprofen.
There are concerns ibuprofen can aggravate underlying health issues. There is no strong evidence on how ibuprofen affects Covid-19 sufferers yet, but some experts suggest taking paracetamol is preferable.The NHS has changed its guidance on the new coronavirus to reflect this.
A vaccine for the new coronavirus has been created by US scientists and will be ready to use from next Sunday.
Many scientists are working on a vaccine to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, but it will likely be 18 months before it is available for public use.
Whilst there are vaccines in development, it will likely be more than 18 months before they are ready to use. The image and videos accompanying the post are related to Covid-19 diagnostic tests, not vaccines.
Officers are being injured on duty at a rate of 28 assaults a day.
All recorded assaults on police officers have risen by 18% since 2017/18, but it is not possible to compare this year’s figures with the stats from before then.
In the year to March 2019, there were 10,399 assaults with injury on a constable, which equates to a daily average of 28. These numbers do not give the complete picture, however.
British 65 year-olds in 2019 knew rationing.
65 year-olds are unlikely to remember rationing and 75 year-olds the Luftwaffe.
Unlikely. Rationing ended in July 1954, the same year most 65 year-olds were born.
There are more GPs in the NHS today than in 2015.
Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn clashed over the trend in GP numbers at PMQs, but they were talking about different things.
Correct looking at the headcount of GPs (excluding locums) in England between September 2015 and 2018. Looking at the full-time equivalent number of this group, which gives a better idea of staffing levels, the numbers are falling.
Coronavirus rates among teachers are 333% above the average.
Claims that infections among teachers are up to 333% above the average use incomparable datasets
This claim comes from incomparable data. We don’t know whether teachers are more likely to catch Covid or not.
Social housing has been decreasing over the last 30 years and has now been placed into the private rental market.
The proportion of people living in social housing halved between the early 1980s and early 2010s, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
The British social housing sector dramatically decreased between the early 1980s and the early 2010s. This was largely down to the introduction of Right to Buy and a drop in social house building.
The Guardian reported that an ambulance carrying an Insulate Britain protester was delayed in traffic caused by another protest.
The newspaper did not report that a protester was delayed in traffic caused by another Insulate Britain protest.
This is not true. It comes from a digitally altered screenshot with a fake headline.
You can meet with both of your parents at the same time, as long as you stay two metres apart.
Dominic Raab was wrong to say that people can see both their parents at once as long as they all social distance.
This is wrong. You can only meet with one person from outside of your household at a time.
Rubbing hydrogen peroxide on the body “once, preferably twice a day” treats cancer.
A clip shared on social media makes the potentially harmful claim that hydrogen peroxide rubbed on the skin kills cancer.
There is no evidence that hydrogen peroxide applied to the skin, as described in the video, treats cancer. Depending on the strength of application, it can cause burning, blistering and permanent scarring.
Conservative councils cost £341 more in council tax on average per household.
Council tax bills often include precepts and payments to more than one authority. This means your bill could be set by bodies run by different political parties.
We haven’t been able to replicate this calculation, and in general it’s difficult to attribute the cost of council tax to a single party.
A no deal Brexit means the UK has its own justice system again.
This viral post about a no deal Brexit exaggerates our EU payments and the “free trade” opportunities of no deal, but makes other correct claims.
If we leave the EU with no deal, EU courts will no longer have jurisdiction over the UK. However the UK will still follow certain international rules and regulations, such as trading rules determined by the WTO and the European Convention of Human Rights.
On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it.
The viral post makes a number of claims about the symptoms of and ways to prevent Covid-19, but not all of them are right.
There’s no evidence yet that the virus can survive in clothing and be transmitted this way. Any soiled clothing should be thoroughly washed.
Last week Sir Patrick Vallance and Prof Chris Whitty presented a graph which cherry-picked several hospitals on course to run out of beds, despite falling or flat rates of Covid-19 bed occupancy across the country.
Allison Pearson claimed Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance cherry-picked rising hospital bed occupancy figures in the coronavirus briefing last week. They didn’t.
Sir Patrick and Professor Whitty did not present any data on individual hospital bed occupancy figures last week. This may refer to data they presented at the end of October. On 26 November Sir Patrick said the number of Covid-19 patients in hospital was flattening.
Labour's Shadow Cabinet is the most diverse in the British parliament's history.
45% of Labour’s shadow cabinet are women and 13% are of non-white ethnicities
Broadly correct. Currently 45% of the shadow cabinet are women and 13% are non-white. The highest-ever representation of women and ethnic minorities ever have been in previous shadow cabinets under Jeremy Corbyn.
Disadvantaged pupil attainment has risen, including among poor pupils from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.
School performance of disadvantaged pupils has, for the most part, been improving. The trend is less clear for the gap between these pupils and their peers.
Nicky Morgan MP, Secretary of State for Education
Broadly yes, but there's not such a clear trend for the attainment gap.
All English schoolchildren are taught geography until at least the age of 14 — many until 16 — and in geography they’re taught about climate change.
Climate change is a compulsory part of the school curriculum in England, but some students say they’re not being taught enough about it.
Correct. Climate change is also part of the science curriculum in England, which all children are taught up to the age of 16. Some students have recently said they’re not learning enough about climate change on the current curriculum.
There are 430,000 more people in employment than before the pandemic began.
The number of people in employment is down since the pre-pandemic peak, while the number of employees (not counting the self-employed) is up.
False. The number of payrolled employees is up 436,000 but the total number in employment (including the self-employed) is down 588,000.
There was more ice than ever before at the polar ice caps in 2015.
There was not more ice than ever in 2015—the polar ice caps have been shrinking for decades.
False. The extent of Antarctic sea ice did peak in 2015, before hitting a low in 2016, but Arctic sea ice and the land ice sheets at both poles have been steadily shrinking for decades.
An image of a bright yellow fish with a trunk depicts an elephant fish.
An image being widely shared on social media looks decidedly different from recognised species of elephant fish.
This image appears to have been altered. The fish pictured is markedly different from recognised species of elephant fish.
A post suggests that all Nando’s chicken in the UK is now halal.
Not every Nando’s UK restaurant is halal. An ad claiming this was for its Singapore restaurants.
Not quite. Nando’s serves only halal chicken in 76 of its 434 UK branches. The ad shared in the post was from Nando’s in Singapore.
The monthly allowance for a single person over 25 on Universal Credit is £317.82.
Temporary increases to Universal Credit introduced because of the coronavirus pandemic mean the monthly allowance is now higher than the daily allowance for peers in the House of Lords.
This was correct until April 2020, when the rate was set to rise to £323.22. However, it has temporarily risen to £409.89 during the Covid-19 pandemic.
If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.
We don’t know how long the virus survives on surfaces yet—it may be between hours and days.
Formaldehyde is in vaccines and causes cancer in humans among other issues and is banned from vaccines in most European countries.
The ingredients it lists are either not present in vaccines, or not in high enough concentrations to do harm.
It’s not banned in Europe. There are only trace amounts in certain vaccines and not enough to be carcinogenic.
People can get up to £24,000 a year in benefits while working 16 hours a week.
Lee Anderson MP used the figure to argue against all Universal Credit claimants being entitled to free school meals.
This can happen. However, this amount is considerably higher than the average amount received.
The price of oil has fallen from $100 a barrel during the Scottish independence referendum to $50 a barrel. Scottish people now have twice as much reason to reject independence.
The falling price of oil hasn’t had much impact on the proportion of people saying they would vote for independence.
The price of oil has fallen from around $90 a barrel to $50. But there isn’t much evidence this has had an impact on the proportion of people saying they would vote for independence.
Free movement of people across the EU means that migrants now fill one in nine jobs in Britain.
About one in nine were foreign nationals in 2016. About one in six were born outside the UK.
About one in nine UK workers were estimated to be foreign nationals in 2016, including nationals from outside the EU. This proportion has been increasing, which the ONS has said is mostly down to EU immigration.
54% of hospital trusts are good or outstanding.
The Prime Minister and leader of the opposition clashed over the number of hospitals which are unsafe and how many are good or outstanding during Prime Minister’s Questions. We factchecked their claim
56% of core hospital services were rated good or outstanding as of July 2016. That falls to 32% when you look at the individual ratings for acute trusts and all services provided by them. We’re checking with the Department of Health which figures the Prime Minister was referring to.
There’s a do not resuscitate across the UK on the elderly, on the disabled.
These include claims that there is a blanket approach to DNACPRs on elderly and disabled people, that the Covid-19 vaccines are experimental and genocidal, and that the Covid-19 pandemic was planned.
Guidance from regulatory bodies explicitly says that do not resuscitate orders should not use a ‘blanket approach’. The preliminary report from a Care Quality Commission investigation into the use of DNACPRs during the Covid-19 pandemic found examples of unacceptable and inappropriate DNACPRs being made at the start of the pandemic, but stated that there was no evidence to suggest it continued as a widespread problem.
The number of deaths from diabetes is up 86%, from prostate cancer is up 53%, from Parkinson’s is up 79%, from breast cancer is up 47% and from bowel cancer is up 46%.
Metro claimed the non-Covid death toll is soaring. This refers just to deaths in private homes, not all deaths.
This refers to the number of deaths in private homes registered in England between March and September this year compared to the five-year average. Across all locations, the numbers of deaths from some of these diseases are in line with historic averages.
Human rights aren’t devolved in Northern Ireland.
What can the Northern Ireland Assembly do?
In general human rights are a devolved matter in Northern Ireland, but the Assembly and Northern Ireland Ministers are required to comply with the European Convention on Human Rights.
A video shared by former UKIP politician Godfrey Bloom makes a number of misleading claims about Covid-19 cases and vaccines.
This isn’t true. Data in recent months shows vaccination lowers the risk of testing positive for Covid-19 and for having an infection with symptoms.
This video shows Cristiano Ronaldo visiting a mosque and reading the Qur’an.
Footage of a lookalike of the Portuguese footballer has been widely shared online.
No it doesn’t. This is a Ronaldo lookalike.
Most of our trade with the world is based on WTO rules.
Most of the UK’s trade is with countries we have EU trade agreements with, not under WTO rules.
Most of our trade (57% of exports and 66% of imports in 2016) is with countries we have EU trade agreements with, not under WTO rules. But trade agreement tariffs on some goods and services are the same as those we have with other countries.
The UK had the third-slowest GDP growth in the EU in the last year, and the value of the pound has fallen by 12% against the Euro since May 2016.
The UK had the third-slowest year-on-year GDP growth in the EU, based on the latest figures for July-September 2017.
Boris Johnson said "we have wiped out the national debt".
Boris Johnson did not say "we have wiped out the national debt". He did say the Conservatives had tackled the debt and deficit.
To test for the new coronavirus, take a deep breath and hold for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, discomfort, stuffiness or tightness it proves there is no fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicating no infection.
Holding your breath is not an indicator of whether you have the new coronavirus, and drinking water doesn’t protect against it.
There is no evidence to suggest this test can show if you have the new coronavirus.
GPs should be the first to be vaccinated when a Covid-19 vaccine becomes available.
The government has published plans on who will be vaccinated first.
The government has published plans indicating that health workers will be among the first to receive a vaccine when available.
About 80-90% of those hospitalised with Covid-19 are unvaccinated.
The vaccines are not perfect, and the vast majority of vulnerable people have been vaccinated, so the small proportion who get seriously ill still amount to a lot of people.
This used to be true. The figure now is more like 35%.
The Covid-19 vaccine doesn’t stop you transmitting it.
Evidence points to the fact that vaccines do stop you catching Covid and spreading it.
Data has shown that even one dose can reduce the chances of you passing it to your household.
Doctors in India have been successful in treating coronavirus with a combination of drugs (Lopinavir, Retonovir, Oseltamivir along with Chlorphenamine) and are going to suggest the same medicine globally.
A viral list containing good news stories about Covid-19 is largely accurate, but needs some context.
India’s ministry of health has advised that the anti-HIV drugs, Lopinavir and Retonovir, are used in some groups of Covid-19 patients. But it is unclear how successful this treatment has been. The other two drugs from the claim are not mentioned in their guidance.
Under the last Labour government, we had the longest sustained period of investment in the NHS since it was founded.
Labour increased health spending from 1997-2010 by almost record levels. Satisfaction with the NHS peaked at 70% in 2010. It has since fallen to 57%.
Labour governments from 1997-2010 increased health spending by more each year on average than any party apart from the Conservatives between 1970 and 1974. The longest period of sustained increases in health spending since 1950 was from 1953-1969 under a number of different governments and political parties.
Infrared thermometers harm the pineal gland.
These thermometers do not emit infrared radiation, they measure it.
This is incorrect. Infrared thermometers do not emit infrared radiation, they measure it.
The head of the EU law enforcement agency says that 5,000 terrorists have come into the EU because of its migration policy.
Claims that there are 5,000 terrorists loose in Europe have been attributed to the director of Europol, the EU law enforcement agency. He says otherwise.
Rob Wainwright denies that he said any such thing. Europol’s official position is that up to 5,000 EU citizens may have been radicalised and travelled to fight in the Middle East, but perhaps a third of those have returned to Europe, of which a majority aren’t considered a threat.
A contract from the UK government says the MHRA is seeking an AI software tool to process the expected high volume of Covid-19 vaccine adverse drugs reactions to ensure no details from the adverse drugs reactions’ text are missed.
The government needs a system for logging any medical problems that people encounter at the same time as the vaccine.
This is correct, but monitoring any adverse reactions is a standard part of monitoring an approved drug or vaccine. Reported adverse reactions are not necessarily the same as side effects, and may have no connection to the vaccine.
94% of small and medium-size businesses say the Government is ignoring their concerns about how the UK leaves the EU.
Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn clashed on small businesses and Brexit negotiations. We factchecked their claims.
94% of 649 owner-managed firms told a survey the Government wasn't listening to their concerns about Brexit negotiations, or only occasionally listening. The survey wasn’t designed to be representative of all SMEs though.
There is a discrepancy between information on Pfizer’s website and patient information leaflet and official government advice for pregnant women thinking about getting the Covid-19 vaccine.
The JCVI has advised that pregnant women should be vaccinated at the same time as the rest of their age or risk group.
It is true that the advice given by Pfizer and the advice given by health authorities differs. Pfizer said this is because it is not within the company’s remit to say there is sufficient clinical evidence to support pregnant women getting their Covid-19 vaccine safely. This decision is down to each individual country’s regulatory body.
The vaccine has been pushed through in record time.
Viral claims include that Covid-19 vaccines will change your DNA (they won’t) and contain something called luciferase (they don’t).
Correct, thanks to recent medical advances, new technologies and ample funding. The Covid-19 vaccines have been tested to the same high standards as all vaccines are.
The deficit is down by nearly two thirds.
Between 2009/10 and 2015/16 public sector net borrowing decreased from 9.9% of GDP to 3.8%, or by around two thirds.
This is correct, looking at the deficit as a proportion of GDP. Between 2009/10 and 2015/16 public sector net borrowing decreased from 9.9% of GDP to 3.8%, or by around two thirds.
Costs to the average family have risen by almost £6,000 since 2010.
These figures are not credible and do not represent what “average families” will save under Labour’s policies.
This figure is exaggerated and does not represent what an average family has had to pay.
The chances of catching Covid-19 are 44 million to one.
It claims the risk of catching Covid-19 is 44 million to one. This is a misreading of the fact that daily infections were 44 per million in England, and have since risen.
This is a misreading of the claim that, at the end of August, 44 people per million were catching Covid-19 each day in England. This has slightly increased since then.
In the last year there has been an 8% increase in murders
Following the publication of Ken Livingstone's crime manifesto, critics have attacked his recent claim that murders in London have increased by eight per cent in the past year. Are they justified in their attacks?
Murder is down by 24.1% in 12 months of Feb 2012 when compared to 12 months previously. [17]
University applications fall by 25,000 as effects of Brexit and funding changes hit.
The total number of people applying to higher education in the UK this year (as of the final June 2017 deadline) is down 4% compared to last year.
Applicant numbers have fallen by this much, compared to last year’s UCAS June deadline. There are probably a few things driving this, but UCAS says a major factor is a fall in the number of 18 year olds in the UK population. The 18 year old application rate is still at a record high.
You face hefty fines if you break these rules.
A list of rules for the UK Covid-19 lockdown has been widely shared on Facebook, but is not accurate.
Businesses could face unlimited fines if they break government rules. Police can also fine people.
The cost of 20 years in Afghanistan was only 59% of the cost of NHS Test and Trace.
A Facebook post wrongly claims UK involvement in Afghanistan cost 59% of NHS Test and Trace
MoD estimates for the military costs of being in Afghanistan from 2002 onwards are around £27.7 billion. The total budget for Test and Trace for its first two years is £37 billion.
The UK paid £674 million in health costs to European countries, but received only £49 million in return. Addressing this could “transform the financial situation of the NHS”.
A post circulating on Facebook makes claims about how much the UK pays out to other EU countries for health costs incurred by UK citizens abroad.
The figures are broadly correct, using figures for 2015, although addressing this situation would in itself only have a marginal impact on the financial situation of the NHS.
There are 4,000 abortions a week in Britain.
Abortion became legal in certain circumstances in Britain in 1968. There have been 8.7 million recorded abortions since then.
There were around 202,000 recorded abortions in Britain in 2016. That’s around 4,000 a week on average.
The World Health Organisation said that women of childbearing age should be banned from drinking alcohol.
Confusion seems to stem from a published first draft of the WHO’s global alcohol action plan, which talks about ‘appropriate’ prevention measures among women who are pregnant or of 'childbearing age'.
This isn’t accurate. The WHO have said that “appropriate attention should be given to prevention of [...] drinking among pregnant women and women of childbearing age”. The WHO told Full Fact that it does not recommend abstinence for all women of childbearing age.
Rashes are a symptom of the new coronavirus.
Symptoms include a persistent cough, and high temperature.
A rash was not initially listed as a symptom of the new coronavirus. The World Health Organisation have now said it is a less common symptom.
Suicides have virtually doubled since lockdown.
Evidence suggests suicides did not increase after the first lockdown.
There is very little evidence for this. What evidence we have shows no increase in suicides after the first lockdown.
A document on the UK government website says the third wave of deaths will come from the vaccine.
Covid-19 vaccines aren’t 100% efficient, but experts aren’t predicting they will cause mass hospitalisations.
Modelling suggests that when a third wave occurs, hospitalisations and deaths will mostly be in those who’ve been vaccinated. This is because so many vulnerable people will have been vaccinated by then, not because the vaccine is harming them.
48,000 illegal immigrants stay in hotels.
It’s not true that 48,000 “illegals” are housed in hotels, and estimates of 6,000 veterans sleeping rough are likely to be too high.
This is false. It uses a figure for people seeking asylum (not illegal immigrants) in accommodation, but they are not all in hotels. The number of people seeking asylum staying temporarily in “contingency accommodation”, which can include hotels, is closer to 1,000.
Only half the UN's appeal for Syrian aid was funded last year.
In 2015 the UN got half the money it said it needed to deal with the crisis in Syria. Of that money, half was from the US, UK, and Germany.
That's about right—in 2015 the appeal received $4 billion (56%) out of the $7.2 billion it wanted.
More than a quarter of a million people came to the UK from the EU in the 12 months to September 2015 - the equivalent of a city the size of Plymouth or Newcastle in just one year
Over a quarter of a million is correct according to official estimates, around the same as Plymouth’s population but not quite as much as Newcastle’s.
European patent 3172319B1 is a vaccine for the new coronavirus.
The patents are for other forms of coronavirus and show no evidence Covid-19 was manufactured.
It is not. The patent relates to a vaccine for a virus which infects birds, which is another type of coronavirus.
British Airways have released a statement telling their pilots that they do not need to have a Covid-19 vaccine.
A Facebook post has also shared baseless claims that some airlines are considering banning vaccinated passengers.
British Airways has confirmed it has not released any statement regarding Covid-19 vaccines to their pilots.
The Covid-19 vaccines are in trials and are all experiments ending in 2023.
A video claiming to show Matt Hancock saying WHO had told him there was little asymptomatic transmission of Covid-19 takes his words out of context.
The Covid-19 vaccine trials have been published in peer-reviewed journals, but data collection is ongoing to allow several years of follow-up on patients.
Iceland has declared all religions are mental disorders.
A satirical article falsely claims Iceland has declared all religions to be mental disorders.
This is false and originated from satirical article online. The Evangelical Lutheran Church is the official state church of Iceland.
Suicides have increased 200% under lockdown.
There is no clear source for this figure.
There is currently no evidence for this. It is unclear where this figure has come from.
We have more households because of social change and people living longer for any given level of population than we had a generation ago.
Immigration has been the largest driver of the increasing population, according to the Office for National Statistics. Life expectancy has also been steadily increasing over the last few decades.
Police funding in England and Wales has fallen over the last five years, and is expected to stay flat over the next five.
Direct funding from government for police in England and Wales will continue to fall until 2020. Most local forces have the power to raise enough money to keep their budgets flat - but only if they raise the maximum amount they're allowed to.
Emergency services will know where you are exactly if you quote the numbers painted on street lamps.
A social media post wrongly suggests that numbering on street lamps will let emergency services know exactly where you are.
This is not true. Emergency services cannot use this information to identify your location instantly. The numbers are there for councils to locate street lamps for repairs.
A Facebook post shows a screengrab from a government website with a list of reported deaths and side effects caused by the Covid-19 vaccines.
A Facebook post includes a mock-up of the MHRA’s website with a list of Covid-19 vaccine side effects.
The image in this post is mocked-up and does not actually appear on the site, though it uses figures which do appear there.
2016 saw the steepest fall in university applications for 30 years.
University applications by disadvantaged students haven’t fallen in the last few years.
This is wrong. In 2016 the number of applicants to UK universities fell slightly, but not by as much as they did in 2012, following the increase in tuition fees. The number of applications to UK universities (which doesn’t include applications made after the June application deadline) rose in 2016. The number of applicants for 2017 (reported after 15 January deadline) showed a fall of 5%. This is the second largest of three falls since 2002.
PTFE in masks can lead to symptoms such as fever, chest tightness, shortness of breath, headache, cough, chills, sore throat.
PTFE heated to high temperatures can cause sickness, but this is rare, and unlikely to be caused by normal mask-wearing.
This appears to be describing polymer fume fever, which only happens if someone is exposed to PTFE heated to high temperatures.
A voice recording on WhatsApp claims there will be 900 deaths a day at the peak of the new coronavirus outbreak, one third will be children with no underlying health conditions, ambulances won’t be sent to people struggling to breathe, and all ice rinks are now being used as mortuaries.
The message, which says ambulances won’t be sent to people struggling to breathe, and the government will prevent all outside exercise from “next week”, is incorrect.
This is incorrect. South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, where the person in the recording suggests they work, and Public Health England have confirmed the information is inaccurate.
Social distancing doesn’t work because air droplets can travel up to 25 feet.
Evidence shows sneezing can propel air droplets up to 25 feet but infectivity significantly increases at distances less than two metres.
Children are silent super-spreaders of coronavirus.
A study into the quantity of Covid-19 carried by some children does not prove they are ‘silent super-spreaders’.
This is not proved by this study. It finds children have a high viral load, but offers no evidence on transmission.
Pretty Little Thing’s terms and conditions state that its products may contain chemicals that can cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
The State of California requires companies to declare if they use any chemicals from a toxicity list.
This is true, it says they may contain lead. The amounts contained are probably not dangerous though.
Tackling global threats like terrorism and climate change — with global threats that don't stop at borders, strength in numbers through the EU keeps UK families safer and protects our future
The EU has worked on these issues. Whether working as a group rather than individually keeps the UK safer is a matter of judgement.
A no deal Brexit means no more ECJ or ECHR.
It’s correct that no deal would remove the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. But it’s incorrect to say it would remove the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights (which has nothing to do with the EU).
People with Covid-19 should take aspirin 100mg and Apronax or paracetamol.
The post wrongly claims Italian doctors have found Covid-19 is caused by a bacteria.
Trials into both of these drugs’ effectiveness in treating Covid-19 are ongoing, but haven’t concluded yet. Paracetamol can ease symptoms but isn’t a specific treatment.
Spending on disability benefits will be higher every year up to 2020 than it was in 2010.
Overall spending on disability benefits is forecast to increase in the coming years, even after inflation is taken into account.
Correct in cash terms. Taking inflation into account, there will still be a rise in spending, although not in each consecutive year.
Those administering the Covid vaccines will get £12.58.
Many of the claims in this post are common myths about the vaccine.
This is an “item of service” fee, and covers the cost to GPs of providing the treatment. Similar payments are made to GPs for providing a range of services.
The average age of death from Covid-19 is 82.
This is true for deaths involving Covid-19 registered in England and Wales between October 2020 and January 2021.
If a man takes a pregnancy test and gets a positive result, it means he most likely has testicular cancer.
Some people with testicular cancer can get a positive result on a pregnancy test. But it is not a conclusive way of diagnosing yourself.
Some people with testicular cancer can get a positive result on a pregnancy test. But it is not a conclusive way of diagnosing yourself, and if you have any symptoms you should go to a doctor.
Bovine TB blood tests can give a false positive result if the animal has previously been tested with a skin test.
Bovine TB tests work by detecting an antibody response. But that antibody response isn’t triggered unless the animal has been infected in the past.
A requirement for doctors to have a Hepatitis B vaccine sets a clear precedent for requiring care home workers to have the Covid-19 vaccine.
Some healthcare workers are required by their employers to have the Hepatitis B vaccine, but it's not a specific law.
Guidance states that healthcare staff doing certain exposure prone procedures do need to have had the Hepatitis B vaccine, but this is not law.
There is a live criminal investigation into the Covid-19 vaccine programme.
A video shared on Facebook of police speaking to vaccine sceptics is littered with unfounded claims about a non-existent investigation into Covid vaccinations.
There isn’t. A crime reference number was created after campaigners visited a London police station in December 2021. The Metropolitan Police has confirmed there is no investigation.
The UK’s population is ageing and more people are going to A&E every year.
Officers from the EU law enforcement agency, Europol, are immune from prosecution.
Officers of Europol, the European Union's law enforcement agency, are not entitled to 'diplomatic immunity' from criminal prosecution.
This isn't correct. Europol staff working on an investigation in a member state are in the same position as ordinary officers when it comes to criminal prosecution.
Millions of women have been plunged into poverty because of changes to the pension age made in 2011.
Ms Rayner said millions of women have fallen into poverty because of changes to the pension age. We don’t know the number for certain but it is certainly not millions.
This is an exaggeration. We don’t know the exact number but it is likely substantially lower.
House prices have quadrupled since 1990, but average income has only risen by half.
A chart on Facebook compares two different measures, which makes the rise in income look smaller than it was.
This is not correct, because the income figure is inflation-adjusted, but the house price figure isn’t. In cash terms, income has tripled in this time.
A man who assaulted his wife was spared jail because the judge didn’t consider her “vulnerable”.
The judge in a domestic violence case in Manchester has been criticised for supposedly finding that the victim wasn't vulnerable. Here's what happened.
The judge did mention that he didn’t consider the victim to be “particularly” vulnerable. Official sentencing guidelines required him to look into that as a possible aggravating factor in setting the length of the attacker’s sentence. It wasn’t relevant to his separate decision to suspend the sentence.
All Tesco meat is halal except pork produce.
According to the retailer, it sells halal meat in some of its stores.
Not all Tesco meat is halal. Some stores do sell it though. No pork products are halal.
The most vulnerable people claiming Employment and Support Allowance will continue to get extra money despite benefit cuts.
The Prime Minister is right that support group claimants of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) stay on a higher rate, but it'll be reduced by inflation.
Those in the ESA support group will be getting more than other claimants, but the real value of the benefit will fall over time.
The total number of deaths in the first three months of 2020 is lower than in any of the previous five years.
The statistics in this Facebook post are wrong. Many people are dying of Covid-19 in the UK.
Incorrect. This is based on data that stops a week short. The real total is higher than it was in 2016 or 2019.
You and your family members can be detained.
There is no Covid-19 vaccine yet, but this law does not say you can be forced to get the injection.
You can be isolated if it’s suspected you have an infectious disease, and your family members, if it’s suspected you’ve infected them, can also be subjected to these measures.
The presidents of Haiti, Tanzania and Zambia died ‘unexpectedly’, and this is linked to the fact they refused the Covid-19 vaccines for their nations.
One died due to problems with his heart, one died of pneumonia at age 97, and another was assassinated with no sign that this was related to a stance on the Covid-19 vaccines.
The president of Zambia did not refuse the vaccines, and died at age 97 of pneumonia. The president of Tanzania died of a heart condition. The president of Haiti was assassinated, but did not refuse the vaccinations.
The UK has taken in 41,000 unaccompanied children since 2010.
At least 40% were accompanied by a parent or carer.
Since 2010, the UK has granted protection to 41,396 asylum seekers and refugees under the age of 18. However, at least 40% of these young people were accompanied by parents or carers.
The government spent £200 million stopping benefit appeals.
A widely shared tweet makes several claims about government spending on defence, the royals, HS2, Trident, Donald Trump’s visit and more. But what did these things actually cost?
The Department for Work and Pensions’ direct operating costs for mandatory reconsiderations and appeal tribunals for certain disability and illness benefits was £199 million between 2013/14 and 2017/18. That’s not the same as ‘stopping’ the appeals.
House building has fallen to its lowest level since the 1920s.
We’ve looked into claims made by Jeremy Corbyn in his speech at the Labour party conference.
Correct, although it’s been falling since the 1960s under different governments.
This image shows a mother snorting drugs in front of her child.
This picture of a mum snorting drugs in front of a child is not real and was in fact a joke.
Over 6,000 elderly people a month are kept in hospital beds in England when they are fit to discharge and it costs the NHS £6 billion a year.
There were over 170,000 delayed bed days in June because patients weren't discharged once they were fit. This could cost the NHS up to £900 million a year.
6,000 was the number of people of all ages fit to discharge and still in hospital on one day in June. There were over 170,000 delayed bed days over the month, these are the number of full days each bed could have been used by another patient. The estimates for how much this costs vary, but none seem to be higher than £900 million a year.
The withdrawal agreement means any future free trade agreement between the UK and EU would make the European Court of Justice the ultimate arbiter of disputes.
The UK and EU’s mutually agreed intention is that the EU courts would only be the ultimate arbiter of disputes which relate to the interpretation of EU law.
The UK and EU haven’t started negotiating the free trade agreement yet so we can’t know for sure. Both sides have stated that under a future trade agreement the court would only arbitrate disputes on EU law that couldn’t be resolved by a joint committee.
Under Boris Johnson’s deal, Scotland’s economy would be 6% weaker than if we remained.
These claims give the impression individuals would lose money, when it’s actually a prediction of how much less the GDP would be in a decade’s time compared to remaining.
This is a dated estimate and isn’t definitive. 6% is roughly how much smaller the Scottish government estimated the country’s GDP would be in 2030 in the case of a free trade agreement where the UK leaves the EU customs union and single market, compared to if the UK had not left the EU.
From October 2019 the BBC will add permanent Arabic subtitles to EastEnders, to help refugees and other migrants refugees settle in.
A claim that the BBC will add permanent Arabic subtitles to EastEnders, to help refugees and other migrants settle in, is from a satirical news website and not true.
This isn’t correct, the story comes from a satirical news website.
Sinn Féin MPs aren’t allowed to take salaries but can claim expenses.
Correct. Sinn Féin MPs and the party do receive other money for expenses.
Covid-19 tests detect any coronavirus, not just the one that causes Covid-19.
Antibody tests which detect whether someone had Covid-19 in the past may pick up antibodies to other coronaviruses.
Incorrect. Covid-19 diagnostic tests are not perfect, but they won’t misdiagnose other coronaviruses as the virus which causes Covid-19.
The Covid-19 death rate for “most of us” is 0.05%.
A post on Facebook makes misleading claims about Covid-19 vaccines, Covid-19 passports, infection, transmission and the death rate.
The terms here are poorly defined and seem to be based on disputed research. The 0.05% death rate figure, for younger people, is disputed.
Parts of London have the highest productivity in Europe.
It’s true that there’s a significant gap between London and other UK cities, but so far we haven’t seen an analysis wide-ranging enough to support the claim that it’s greater than all other major econ
This is correct by one measure, but it isn't based on a fair comparison.
As part of the Coronavirus Act, children can be detained for 14 days without their parents’ consent, and their parents don’t have to be informed, only a teacher, according to a letter from the Children’s Commissioner.
The government has said a parent, carer or legal guardian must be present for a Covid-19 screening to take place on a child under the Coronavirus Act, but the law itself doesn’t say this.
Although the government had since said a child could not be detained without their parents’ knowledge or consent under the powers in the Coronavirus Act, the law itself seems ambiguous enough that this theoretically could happen. The law says steps should be taken to avoid this, and says a parent or guardian should be contacted, so this scenario seems unlikely.
The cost of the UK Test and Trace system has been £32 billion.
The UK has not spent £32 billion on Test and Trace so far, and Germany has spent much more than £48 million.
The budget for the first two years of NHS Test and Trace is £37 billion. Spending up to the beginning of April 2021 is estimated at around £20 billion, but we don’t have clear figures yet.
The Conservatives are polling 38% in North East Somerset, the Liberal Democrats are on 32%, and Labour are on 8%.
A graph showing the Lib Dems just behind the Conservatives in NE Somerset does not make clear that this is in a hypothetical scenario where voters are told the other parties aren’t competitive.
These are the results of a poll asking how people in the area would vote if only the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives were competitive.
The UK’s biggest export market is Germany.
The UK’s biggest export market is the USA. We exported 18% of our goods and services there in 2016, followed by Germany which took 9% of our exports. Our biggest trade deficit is with Germany.
Incorrect. The USA is the UK’s biggest export market. We exported almost £100 billion of goods and services to the USA in 2016. Germany is our second biggest export market at around £49 billion.
NHS hospitals will require all women to show their passports before they receive maternity services.
A London hospital has announced it will be asking women who receive maternity services to provide ID before treatment to determine whether they should be charged.
This refers to one hospital in London rather than all hospitals in England and Wales. It’s in line with NHS guidelines on identifying foreign patients who might be required to pay for their treatment. The government is looking into whether identification checks could be rolled out more widely.
53 cyclists were killed in 2014 due to bad road conditions, up 77% since 2010.
Last year 53 cyclists were killed or seriously injured in accidents which were contributed to by poor road surfaces, according to attending police officers.
This is wrong. The figures refer to the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured (KSI) in this kind of road accident.
Prisoner Charles Bronson is due to be released from prison on 21 December.
A Ministry of Justice spokesperson confirmed claims on social media were inaccurate.
This is not true. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson confirmed to Full Fact that there is no planned release date for Bronson.
Albert Einstein said technology would one day “surpass our human interaction” and create “a generation of idiots”.
Versions of the quote appear to have been circulating on the internet for almost a decade.
There’s no record of him ever saying this. The first iterations of this quote appear to have been posted online in 2012.
Videos on social media claim to show the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It’s not clear when or where some of these clips were taken, but they predate the Russian invasion of Ukraine by some weeks.
Some of these videos clearly do not depict the Russian invasion of Ukraine as they predate the invasion.
The UK has the highest death rate in the EU from drugs.
Estonia had the highest rate of drug-related deaths per million people, based on research using data from 2015 and 2016. The UK placed joint-third alongside Ireland.
Estonia had the highest rate of drug-related deaths per million people aged 15 to 64 in the EU, based on research using data from 2015 and 2016. The UK placed joint-third alongside Ireland.
6% of students don’t make it from their first year of university to their second year.
Overall, mature students are more likely to drop out of full-time degrees than younger students, and disadvantaged students are more likely than their peers to drop out.
Correct, for UK young undergraduate students at university for the first time in 2014/15. These figures are dated now, but still the latest available.
A video of several strategically placed room fans keeping a paper aeroplane flying in a circle shows what happens “when physicists get bored”.
The video appears on Facebook with the caption “when physicists get bored”.
The video was created by a video animator called Vernon James Manlapaz, and does not show a real event.
The new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun.
Posts shared thousands of times on Facebook make false – and potentially harmful – claims about the new coronavirus.
There’s no evidence for this. There’s evidence that similar viruses transmit less well in the heat, but many countries with reported Covid-19 cases are experiencing temperatures higher than this.
A million more pupils are in good or outstanding schools in England than five years ago.
There's no doubt that schools' Ofsted performance is improving. This progress is partly due to Ofsted's changing inspection practice.
Correct. This progress is partly due to Ofsted's changing inspection practice - which refined what was expected of schools and placed a greater emphasis on inspecting schools which fell below this expectation.
Pfizer is using children as lab rats to test the Covid-19 vaccine.
2,000 children aged between 12 and 15 have been recruited onto the trial, with parental consent.
2,000 children in the US have been enrolled in Covid-19 vaccine trials in the US.
Flu shots contain polysorbate 80, which has been linked to ovarian damage and infertility. It could induce liver failure.
A local UKIP Facebook page has shared a misleading image about the flu vaccine.
At least one UK flu vaccine does contain polysorbate 80. There’s no evidence that the levels found in vaccines can damage fertility or the liver.
England’s test and trace system cost £22 billion.
Claims suggesting the system in England costs vastly more than those in Wales and Ireland uses incomparable figures.
This was the amount allocated to Test and Trace for 2020/21 by the UK government but the actual level of spending has been lower than this. Also some of this money is spent in the other three UK nations.
The government has committed to keep meeting the target of spending 2% of GDP on defence.
In 2015, the Conservative government pledged to spend 2% of GDP on the armed forces budget in every year that decade. It has never been below this level on record.
In October 2017, the Defence Secretary described 2% as the “minimum NATO commitment” and said “we should aim to do better still”.
It’s significantly more expensive to send a child to prison than it is to send them to Eton.
Sending a child to a prison facility, like a young offender institution, for a year costs more than the fees for Eton.
Correct. In 2016/17 the average annual price per place for children in custody ranged from £76,000 to £210,000. The full annual fee to send a child to Eton in 2018/19 is just over £40,000.
Three British Airways pilots have died of the Covid-19 vaccine in the last seven days.
There is no evidence three pilots died of the Covid-19 vaccine. Four pilots have recently died, but BA says these are not linked.
Four British Airways pilots have recently died but the company says the deaths are not “linked”. The MHRA says it hasn’t been told about any deaths of pilots after vaccination, and has not had discussions with any airline about preventing vaccinated pilots from flying.
The UK gets a one-third reduction on the fee we pay for being in the EU.
A viral post stating the “benefits” of remaining in the EU is largely accurate—but most “benefits” would also be achieved by leaving the EU
The UK gets a rebate on its EU budget contribution, which averaged 24% from 2013-2017. The EU has signalled that it proposes to scrap rebates (for all EU countries that receive one) over the next decade.
Vaccine manufacturers are not liable for injuries or deaths caused by the vaccines.
A Covid-19 Q&A graphic has been widely shared on social media. It makes lots of inaccurate claims about the vaccines.
True, mostly. In the UK, Covid-19 vaccine manufacturers are protected from much, but not all, civil liability that arises as a result of the vaccines.
New data from Israel shows the vaccinated account for nearly all serious cases and deaths.
Suggestions that Israel postponing the lifting of travel restrictions on vaccinated tourists indicates they are high risk ignores the fact that unvaccinated travellers are restricted too.
We haven’t been able to find the data from Israel. In the UK, many serious cases and deaths are among vaccinated people. However, this is because the vast majority of the population is vaccinated and vaccines aren’t 100% effective. Vaccinated people have a much lower risk of hospitalisation and death than unvaccinated people.
In recent weeks the government has allowed water companies to discharge sewage into rivers due to Brexit disrupting deliveries of water treatment chemicals.
Claims the government voted for sewage to be pumped into rivers, and that a rejected amendment would have cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of pounds need clarification.
The Environment Agency has cited the UK’s relationship with the EU as one of the factors affecting the supply of water treatment chemicals to the UK.
A popular online quote about love, which ends with “because if I have to ask you, I don’t want it anymore”, was said by Frida Kahlo.
A social media post shares a quote about love which is attributed to Frida Kahlo. Full Fact can’t find any evidence that she said this.
Full Fact could not find any evidence that Frida Kahlo said this.
It’s possible to “seize” Edinburgh Castle using powers granted by Magna Carta.
Claims that the historic law can be used to lawfully dissent against the government are completely untrue.
This is completely untrue. Magna Carta does not, and has never, been part of Scots law. The relevant clause only applies to 25 barons who lived in the 13th century, and was removed from the historic law a year after it was written.
Scunthorpe voted 68.68% to leave the EU.
The Turkish military’s pension fund is the preferred buyer of British Steel, based in Scunthorpe which voted to leave the EU.
The vote wasn’t counted by constituency but 68.68% is a reasonable estimate, based on what a political scientist estimated Scunthorpe’s leave vote to be.
Troponins (proteins released into the bloodstream after myocardial injury) are 10 to 100 times higher after vaccine-acquired myocarditis.
A video posted on Facebook misleadingly suggests the risk of myocarditis is higher from a Covid-19 vaccine than from a Covid infection.
There is no evidence of this. Troponin levels may be as high or even higher after myocarditis acquired by a Covid infection than acquired following vaccination.
The House of Commons was crowded for debates on MP expenses and pay, but much emptier for debates and votes on topics such as education for refugees and knife crime.
Facebook memes about MP attendance exclude important information.
While we’ve not been able to verify all these images, at least one, claiming to show the house during a debate on expenses, is actually from a debate on higher education. There are a number of reasons MP attendance may be low in debates.
The government's Brexit white paper said that UK workers were going to get 14 weeks holiday.
A graph in the Brexit white paper got the number of weeks UK law gives workers in annual holiday and EU law gives workers in paid maternity leave round the wrong way. It’s now been corrected.
A chart in the paper comparing UK and EU holiday entitlement said that under UK law workers get 14 weeks holiday and under EU law workers get 5.6 weeks of paid maternity leave. It’s actually the other way round. The government has now corrected the chart.
NASA data shows that global temperatures dropped sharply over the past two years.
18 of the 19 warmest years on record have occurred since 2001, and the average global temperature has increased by about 0.8°C to 1.0°C since the period 1951-1980.
The average global temperature was slightly lower in 2017 and 2018 than in 2016. But global temperatures tend to fluctuate from one year to the next and the clear overall trend is that the planet is getting hotter over time: 2016 was the hottest year on record, 2017 was the second-hottest, and 2018 was the fourth-hottest.
Tens of thousands of workers will share in a £1.8 billion pay rise under a US trade deal.
Analysis from the government estimates real wages after 15 years to be 6.4% less than had we stayed in the EU, but a US deal could counterbalance wages by 0.2%.
Government analysis shows wages could be 0.2% (£1.8 billion) higher after 15 years under a scenario where we sign a free trade deal with the USA compared to a baseline scenario where we don’t. But this baseline assumes wages will be 6.4% lower than they would have been, had we remained in the EU.
A video shows Ukraine international airport being blown up.
The video actually shows the Melitopol air base.
The video in question shows an explosion at an air base in Melitopol in Ukraine, which appears to be a military base rather than an international airport serving civilians.
There are now more nurses from the European Union going home than coming to the UK.
In the year to September 2017 the number of nurses from the EU leaving the NHS in England outweighed those joining it for the first time in at least five years.
In the year to September 2017 the number of nurses from the EU leaving the NHS in England outweighed those joining it for the first time in at least five years. We don’t know if they left the UK or what jobs they went on to do.
The number of nurses in the NHS has declined by 5,000 because of Brexit.
It is true that tens of thousands of NHS staff are from other EU countries, and that other EU nursing numbers have noticeably dropped.
It is true that nursing and midwifery numbers have dropped by around 5,000 since the referendum, and Brexit is a likely factor driving at least some of this fall.
A third of the Carillion contracts with the Government were led by the Labour government.
What proportion of Carillion PFI deals were awarded during the Labour government?
This is correct. 38% of PFI contracts with Carillion in the published data were awarded during the Labour government. But published data only include deals up to the end of 2015.
The IFS said the new benefit cap “almost exclusively affects families with large numbers of children or very high rents or both.”
The Institute for Fiscal Studies said that the benefit cap used to almost exclusively affect families with a lot of children or high rents, but not any more.
This is incorrect. The IFS said this about the benefit cap as it was introduced in 2015. It has said the new, lower cap will be less concentrated on households with lots of children and affect more people outside London where rents are lower.
An analogy about red and black ants in a jar and society was made by Sir David Attenborough.
There’s no evidence the broadcaster ever made the analogy credited to him.
There is no evidence Sir David ever made this analogy.
Masks increase the risk of bacteria and illness.
A post on Instagram claims masks ‘do nothing’ but limit oxygen flow and increase risk of bacteria and illness.
It’s true that masks can pick up bacteria, but there’s no evidence that this can contribute to an increased risk of illness, if worn normally.
A San Diego biotech company is developing a Covid-19 vaccine in collaboration with Duke University and National University of Singapore.
This is correct. The company, Arcturus Therapeutics, announced on 4 March 2020 that it would be working on a vaccine with DukeNUS Medical School in Singapore.
A photo shows hundreds of dead birds killed by 5G signals.
A social media post falsely claims hundreds of birds in India were killed by 5G.
This is not true. The photo is at least five years old, predating 5G.
A pilot scheme where people had to show ID before voting was a success.
A small-scale pilot a voter ID scheme saw more voters turned away in one day than there have been cases of voters impersonating other voters at polling stations in the last eight years.
The scheme was piloted in five councils in May 2018, and the government said it was a “success”, as the “overwhelming majority” of voters had the right documents. Around twice as many people were blocked from voting in this pilot than there have been cases of voter fraud from 2010 to 2017 in the UK.
Drivers should give five feet when overtaking cyclists.
An infographic summarising five changes to the Highway Code is largely based in fact but excludes some important context.
Correct for speeds up to 30 miles per hour. At higher speeds, the Highway Code says drivers should give cyclists more space.
The Rockefeller Foundation planned the Covid-19 pandemic under the name ‘Operation Lockstep’.
False claims on social media say plans for the coronavirus pandemic were published years ago.
This is entirely false. ‘Lock Step’ was the name of a scenario planning exercise that examined what might happen in a future pandemic, but differs considerably from the current pandemic.
Asylum seekers get £37.75 for every person in their household, loaded onto a debit card each week.
Asylum seekers have to be destitute to get support and, if eligible, can’t choose what type of housing they get.
If asylum seekers are homeless or don’t have money to buy food, they can apply for asylum support, which can include a cash allowance of this amount.
An early poll shows 80% of people on the Isle of Wight want to download the government’s new coronavirus tracing app.
Facebook polls cannot be said to represent the wider population.
This is based on a Facebook poll which is not representative of Isle of Wight residents.
Women are getting ahead of men in terms of pay before they become mothers.
We’ve seen evidence that the pay gap gets bigger when women become mothers, but they don’t seem to have a clear advantage before then.
We’ve not seen clear evidence that women are getting ahead on average, even though women and men are paid more equitably in their 20s than later in life.
Broadly correct. Cancer Research estimates that 1 in 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime.
The proposal to introduce a points-based system would wreck the economy.
The level of immigration under a points-based system depends, in part, on how the system is designed.
Setting up a points-based system would likely involve leaving the single market, and most economists say that would have a negative impact on the economy.
Nebulized hydrogen peroxide “helps against ALL respiratory infections like colds/flu, sore throat, pneumonia, chest infections”.
The MHRA told Full Fact that it has ‘significant concerns that this practice is not safe’.
The MHRA told Full Fact that it was not aware of any evidence that shows that inhalation of hydrogen peroxide would be effective in treating respiratory disease, and has “significant concerns” that this practice is not safe.
Six million adults were abused as children in England and Wales.
An estimated six million adults in England and Wales report having been abused as children, and two million report having been sexually abused.
This is correct according to estimates from the Crime Survey.
Dominic Raab said he watched Peppa Pig with his parents when he was young, even though it first aired in May 2004, when he was 30.
Social media posts have incorrectly claimed the deputy prime minister said he watched Peppa Pig when he was young, even though it first aired when he was 30.
This appears to be a misquote from an interview where Mr Raab said he watched Peppa Pig with his children when they were younger.
There are 2 million illegal immigrants in the UK.
A recent estimate put the figure between 800,000 and 1.2 million.
This is much higher than even the upper end of an estimate of how many people were in the UK in 2017 without a permit to be there.
BME students make up 17.9% of all British Oxford undergraduates. That’s pretty close to the percentage of BME people among 17-24-year-olds in England and Wales – 18.3%.
White applicants to Oxford University from the UK are twice as likely to be accepted as black applicants. Overall, 18% of undergraduates from the UK who took up their place at Oxford in 2017 were BME.
Correct, for undergraduate students from the UK who took up their place in 2017, and looking at those in the 2011 census who would be between 17 and 24 today.
Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.
There’s no evidence that the temperature of liquids consumed can either protect you from or cure diseases caused by viruses.
The government is cutting the number of hospital beds.
It’s been falling almost constantly since the 1980s, but there's more to these figures than meets the eye.
This is right, the number of overnight beds in the English NHS has fallen.
More people have died this year through stabbings or shooting, and more young men.
Across the whole of England and Wales homicides attributed to stabbings or shootings have increased in recent years.
We don’t have exact figures for this year yet. The closest data we have is for homicides involving stabbings in London until the end of last year and those involving stabbings or shootings across the whole of England and Wales in 2016/17. These show increases in the past year or two and more young male victims.
An image shows a woman in Iran being fed a spoonful of water before she is stoned to death under Sharia law.
The image does not show a stoning in Iran but a protest in Colombia.
The picture was taken at a protest in Colombia, where the woman allowed herself to be buried in the ground.
The UK pays nearly a fifth of all VAT going into the EU budget.
Business for Britain says the UK pays a fifth of all VAT going into the EU budget. We look at the figures behind the claim.
The UK is behind a significant share of the VAT revenue flowing into the EU budget. But it makes more sense to look at all contributions rather than a small part; VAT was only 12% of EU revenue in 2014.
A £20 billion funding increase to the NHS will be paid for in part through the ‘Brexit dividend’.
There is no guaranteed extra money – or ‘Brexit dividend’ – as a result of the UK ceasing its contributions to the EU budget after leaving.
There is no guaranteed extra money to pay for increased NHS funding from stopping our payments to the EU budget. Other costs associated with Brexit are expected to outweigh the savings.
Drinking a glass of water 30 minutes before a meal helps digestion.
While it is a good idea to stay hydrated, drinking water at regimented times has no identifiable health benefits.
Drinking water can help digestion, but we’ve not seen evidence that specifically drinking water 30 minutes before eating helps more than drinking water at other times.
31 million people have lost their jobs in the last five weeks.
A viral post shared by a UK Facebook user claims 31 million people have lost jobs in the last five weeks. This isn’t correct for the UK.
This is far too high for the UK. 31 million is closer to the job losses reported in America.
Article Eight of the Human Rights Act sets out a right to private and family life and therefore is allowing asylum seekers to argue that because they have a cat or dog their deportation should be halted.
A previously debunked claim about people being granted the right to live in the UK because they own a pet here has reappeared.
We could find no evidence that this has ever been successfully put forward as a reason for an asylum seeker to be granted the right to remain in the UK. A similar claim made in 2011 by Theresa May was widely debunked at the time.
Only a tiny proportion of rapes ever reach trial.
Around one in ten rapes or attempted rapes reported to police in England and Wales are brought to trial.
Around one in ten rapes or attempted rapes reported to police in England and Wales are brought to trial. Research from 2013 estimated that between one in twenty and one in thirty rape cases end up at trial.
Covid-19 has a survival rate of 99.998%.
An Instagram post has repeated falsehoods about the survival rate for Covid-19 and vaccine testing on animals.
While there is no completely accurate statistic, based on the sheer number of people who died from Covid-19 we know the survival rate is lower than this.
Fluoride is now being used against you in the water supply, toothpaste and medications.
Fluoride is added to toothpaste and water to help prevent tooth decay. The only potential negative effect of fluoride at levels recommended in the UK is teeth discolouration.
Fluoride is added to the UK water supply and some toothpastes, and can be prescribed as a medication, to prevent tooth decay. The only potential negative effect of fluoride at levels recommended in the UK is discolouration of the enamel of teeth.
There were 334 fire deaths in England (including 71 at Grenfell). This is the worst year for fire deaths since 2010/11.
The number of people dying in fires in 2017/18 was up a quarter on the year before.
There were 334 fire-related fatalities in England, including 71 the Home Office counts as occurring as a result of Grenfell Tower fire. The last time this was higher was 2010/11 when there were 335 deaths.
Experts agree that… [if we left Europe] there would be less money for public services like the NHS.
Most economists seem to agree that leaving the EU would cost the UK economically. If that happened, the government would need to raise taxes, cut other things, or borrow to keep NHS spending at the same level.
Since 2001, Scotland has sent £900 billion in tax to Westminster.
A Facebook post claiming England has kept Scottish taxes ignores the money spent by the UK government for or in Scotland.
The average forecast for UK GDP growth this year was the same September as in June, despite the UK voting to leave the EU.
The average forecast for UK GDP growth this year was the same September as in June, despite the UK voting to leave the EU. But that’s not the whole story.
This is correct, but it isn’t the whole picture. Yes, the average forecast for UK GDP growth in 2016 was the same in September as it was in June. But the types of goods and services predicted to make up that growth was different.
55% of the NHS budget is spent on the over 85s.
Research suggests that by 2021/22 around 10% of health spending across the UK will go on those aged 85 plus.
We can't find any data to support this. Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies suggests that by 2021/22 around 10% of health spending across the UK will go on those aged 85 plus.
Romanian workers are being brought in to do seasonal British farm work, despite huge interest in these roles by British people.
Despite optimistic reports, Britain is still in need of skilled farm labour.
Farmers and produce companies say although there has been high interest and some roles are filled, experienced farmworkers are still needed to train and supervise new recruits and volunteers.
Police budgets, police officer numbers and community policing, we factcheck the claims.
Correct. The number of police officers in England and Wales has fallen by just under 20,000 since 2010.
London tube workers wrote a humorous message in solidarity with Manchester.
The sign states in the top left corner that it is fake.
This isn’t a real London Underground tube sign.
The government has announced an unprecedented £84 billion real-terms increase in funding for the NHS.
The increase is £20.5 billion in real-terms for the NHS in England between 2018/19 and 2023/24.
The increase is £20.5 billion in real-terms for the NHS in England between 2018/19 and 2023/24. There is a way of calculating the figures that gets £84 billion, but it’s unhelpful and contains some potentially misleading figures.
Weekly death figures in late 2020 are barely higher than the maximum in the previous five years, once you adjust for population growth.
The chart of weekly deaths claimed to show that deaths were barely higher than previous years, but the figures are wrong.
This is false. The figures used assume a level of population growth between 2019 and 2020 that is not credible.
Larch trees planted in a Douglas fir forest in Oregon create a smiley face among the woodland every autumn.
A photo of an orange smiley face in the middle of a forest was deliberately planted by a timber company.
It’s true. They were deliberately planted by the owners of a lumber forest. The needles of the larch trees planted there turn yellow every autumn and create an image of a smiley face.
US-Patent 8835624 is for the H1N1 virus.
Claims about patents existing for AIDS, Zika, SARS, swine flu and Ebola are misleading.
The patent with this number was for a strand of DNA that binds to the H1N1 virus, not the virus itself.
A no deal Brexit means we wouldn’t have to make any more annual payments of £26 billion to £32 billion.
If we leave the EU without a deal, it’s uncertain how much we’d have to pay the EU, if anything. But suggesting that we pay £26 billion to £32 billion per year at the moment is incorrect. Between 2011 and 2017 our net public contribution to the EU budget ranged from £8 billion to £11 billion per year.
Ribble Valley is the happiest place in the UK.
Because of confidence intervals in the data, it’s very hard to tell which is actually the happiest place in the UK.
It had the highest average happiness rating, in an ONS survey of all UK local authorities in 2018/19. But because scores are expressed as a range between two numbers, 182 local authorities could actually be happier than Ribble Valley.
The Covid-19 vaccine contains a nanobot transmitter which can connect you to the “internet of things”.
A video filmed by protestors at Twickenham Stadium repeats Covid-19 vaccine claims we’ve debunked several times before.
The Covid-19 vaccines contain nanoparticles, which is just another word for very small natural or manmade particles. They are not “nanobots”, and cannot connect to WiFi or send data.
Bill Gates has called for the withdrawal of all Covid-19 vaccines.
A Facebook post falsely claims the Microsoft founder wanted all Covid vaccines removed from use
He didn’t. These ‘quotes’ were taken from a satirical article.
It’s hard to say exactly how many churches and mosques there are in London.
This comes from an estimate for the number of churches converted into homes between 2001 and 2006. Estimates indicate there was probably a net increase of around 800 church congregations between 2005 and 2015 in London.
New Covid-19 vaccines contain levels of mercury that cause brain damage.
Thiomersal is no longer found in most standard vaccines and even if it was used in a Covid-19 vaccine there is no evidence it causes harm.
Most commonly given vaccines in the UK do not contain the mercury-based chemical thiomersal. We don’t know if future Covid-19 vaccines will contain it, but even if they do, there is no evidence that it causes harm in the amount contained in vaccines.
Half of adults are now being paid by the state.
People can be supported by the state in lots of ways, by employment, benefits or pensions.
There are too many ways to interpret this for any single answer to be meaningful.
If you collect a parcel at the Post Office you need a driving licence or a passport.
This was suggested by the Prime Minister’s spokesperson and Gillian Keegan MP in defence of plans to require voters to have photo ID.
You don’t need photographic ID to pick up a parcel from the Post Office but you do need some form of ID.
Everybody is getting their news and information, and watching television on a tablet.
How much shopping is done online, and where do people get their news?
An Ofcom survey published in 2017 reported that 17% of UK adults reported getting news from internet or apps on a tablet, although Ofcom says this may be underestimated. Most adults get their news from television. An Ofcom commissioned survey found that of adults who used video on demand or TV catch-up services, 35% watch film and TV on a tablet. 83% use a TV.
97% of schools who submitted data had children coming back in early June.
Boris Johnson was wrong to say that 97% of primary schools which report data had kids coming back. The figure on the day he was speaking was 69%.
This is not true. 97% of schools who submitted data were open, but only about two thirds of them had children coming back.
The UK unemployment rate is about half the Eurozone average.
The UK unemployment rate was 4.3% earlier this year, compared to 9% average across the Eurozone.
Correct. The UK rate is 4.4% compared to the Eurozone average of 9.1%, using the latest comparable figures for April to June 2017. Some countries like Germany still have lower rates.
Lebanon, a country the size of Devon and Cornwall, shelters 1.5 million refugees compared to 150,000 in the UK.
Exact figures are hard to come by, but it seems correct to say that there are 10 times as many refugees in Lebanon as in the UK.
Lebanon is the size of those counties combined, and the figures are in the right ballpark, although Lebanon’s refugee population is unusual in that many have been “refugees” for decades or from birth, which isn’t possible in the UK.
The CEO of Pfizer said he doesn’t need to get vaccinated for Covid-19 because he’s healthy.
A Facebook post falsely claims that the CEO of Pfizer hasn’t been vaccinated because he’s in good health.
False. This is a misquote from an interview in December where the head of Pfizer said he didn’t want to get the vaccine ahead of more vulnerable recipients. At the time, rollout had just begun. He has since had both doses of the vaccine.
Boris Johnson’s dad Stanley wrote a novel called ‘The Virus’ in 1982.
The Prime Minister’s father wrote the book in 1982.
A picture shows the Queen as a young girl doing a Nazi salute.
The video was filmed around the time Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, before the Second World War began.
The pictures are real, and show the Queen doing what appears to be a Nazi salute aged about seven.
A photo of dozens of lightning strikes was taken recently in Caldbeck, the Lake District.
A photo went viral after a Facebook user claimed it was taken in Calbeck, but they later said that was a joke.
The picture was taken in 2011 on the Greek Island of Ikaria.
The number of apprenticeship starts has fallen by 70% over the last quarter.
Yes. Apprenticeship starts in May to July this year were 59% lower than in the same period last year.
Correct, apprenticeship starts in England in May to July this year were 72% lower than in February to April. Comparing neighbouring quarters isn’t always appropriate because differences can be due to the time of year. The fall is 59% comparing to May to July last year.
The government is providing not just the £8 billion of extra funding that the NHS requested, but £10 billion of extra funding.
We looked at how much money the NHS is getting from the government this parliament and whether or not it's more than it asked for.
The government’s £10 billion commitment isn’t all of what NHS leaders asked for, and isn’t as generous as it sounds.
A quarter of the energy we use in Britain today comes from wind.
Over a quarter of the UK’s electricity is coming from wind at the height of the winter snow, but usually it accounts for 15% across the UK.
That’s a snapshot picture when wind is generating an unusually high amount of electricity. Over the course of a year, about 15% of the UK’s electricity comes from wind power.
The average salary for nurses increased from £22,000 in 2010 to £25,000 in 2020.
Starting salaries for nurses, teachers and police officers have fallen since 2010 when you factor in inflation.
In 2010, a starting (not average) salary for a newly qualified nurse was £21,200; it is now £24,200. Factoring in inflation, this amounts to a 5% decrease.
In 2010, a newly qualified teacher’s salary was £21,500 and in 2018 was £22,000.
The figures on how much nurses, teachers, police and MPs got paid in 2010 and 2018 are pretty much correct in cash terms, but without including inflation they don’t tell us a lot.
This doesn’t factor in inflation. In 2018 prices, a new teacher’s salary in a local authority-run school in England and Wales and outside of London was £25,400 in 2010 and £22,900 in 2018.
A post on Facebook also wrongly claims that asymptomatic transmission is a hoax, PCR tests are useless and Covid-19 death statistics have been manipulated.
This is untrue. While the tests aren’t perfect, they are very accurate.
A&E four hour targets have been missed more than 10 million times since 2010.
We’ve factchecked a viral graphic on NHS funding, A&E waiting times, ambulance targets, hospital beds and GPs.
Correct. Between 2010/11 and 2017/18, around 12 million A&E attendances in England took over four hours from arrival to admission, transfer or discharge.
Covid-19 and influenza statistics are being combined to make the numbers look worse.
It’s just that they are both now published in the same weekly document.
This is not true. Statistics about the two diseases are being published separately in the same document. This has no effect on the numbers.
The proportion of babies born to foreign parents has risen from a quarter in 2008 to a third in 2015.
It’s true that about a third of children born in England and Wales have one or more parents who were born outside country, although you probably wouldn’t call all those parents ‘foreign’.
The rise was less dramatic than that, and you probably wouldn’t call all those parents ‘foreign’. In England and Wales, the proportion of children who have at least one parent registered as born outside the UK rose slowly each year from about 30% in 2008 to about 33% in 2015.
An image shows Arminas Pileckas, a 15 year-old student in Sweden stabbed and killed after protecting a girl in his class who was being sexually harassed by a 14 year-old Syrian refugee. Neither the Syrian boy nor his parents face any charges.
A viral image does show Arminas Pileckas, a 15 year-old Lithuanian student in Sweden who was stabbed at school by a 14 year-old boy from Syria in January 2016.
The image does show Arminas Pileckas, a 15 year-old Lithuanian student in Sweden who was fatally stabbed while at school by a 14 year-old boy from Syria in January 2016. The motive is unclear. The boy wasn’t prosecuted as he was below the age of criminal responsibility in Sweden.
15,000 passengers are arriving into the UK daily at the moment.
Claims from the Health Secretary that 15,000 passengers are still arriving in the UK per day during the coronavirus lockdown haven’t been backed up.
The government hasn’t yet provided any evidence to back this up, and the Home Office has said it does not recognise the figure and that in their view it is wrong.
Sir David Attenborough said “words fail me” over the felling of a 300 year-old tree for an HS2 service road.
Thousands of people have shared a quote attributed to the broadcaster about a tree felled for HS2.
There is no evidence Sir David ever made these comments.
North Wales doesn’t get its fair share of infrastructure spending compared to the rest of the UK.
We don’t know exactly who in the UK gets what out of infrastructure spending.
It’s not possible to say from available data. Specifying who benefits from infrastructure projects is often neither fair nor possible to do.
People who have a stroke at the weekend are 20% more likely to die than if it happened on a weekday.
Jeremy Hunt has said that people who have a stroke at the weekend are 20% more likely to die. Some of our readers asked us to investigate.
Academic research backs that up, although it's difficult to say why. It's possible that people treated at the weekend are more seriously ill on average.
That the donkey in an image was being carried to prevent it causing harm by exploding landmines.
The donkey in a widely shared image was carried by soldiers because it was too weak to keep up, not in order to stop it from detonating landmines.
The donkey was actually being carried out of compassion, and later became a mascot for the French Foreign Legion.
A WD-40 ad from the 1960s is filled with sexual innuendo.
This is a fake ad created as a joke. It gets the name of its own product wrong, for starters.
This isn’t a real ad. It was created as a joke.
Staying hydrated is good for you, but doesn't prevent or cure Covid-19
A picture showing people unwell on the streets of India was taken during a gas leak in 2020, not during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021. This suggests that casualties from the current wave of Covid-19 in India are being exaggerated, and that Covid-19 is a conspiracy.
The paper used a picture of scenes from a gas leak in India in 2020, not the Covid-19 crisis in 2021. But this seems to be a simple mistake, which has since been corrected.
This image was incorrectly used in a New York Post article about the Covid-19 pandemic, but it actually comes from a video taken in 2020 after a gas leak in Visakhapatnam, India. The outlet has since corrected the mistake, and there is nothing to suggest it is evidence of a conspiracy.
While the media talks a lot of the 150,000 deaths, perhaps they should have been talking about the number of people who died 'of Covid' not 'with Covid'. That was just 17,371 up to the end of quarter three 2021
Data from the ONS shows that to the end of September 2021, 17,371 people died in England and Wales of Covid and had no pre-existing conditions.
False. This is the number of people who died of Covid and had no pre-existing conditions in England and Wales.
Only 3,000 people have died of Covid-19 in England.
The true death toll is currently more than 100,000 in England and Wales.
This is not true. Covid was the underlying cause of over 71,000 deaths in England in 2020 alone.
Evidence on whether glyphosate causes cancer seems contradictory and Cancer Research UK says there is some evidence people exposed to very high levels of it could have a slightly increased risk of cer
Correct. US agricultural company Monsanto has lost three court cases in the last year linking the chemical glyphosate in its Roundup weed killer to cancer cases.
The Track and Trace app cost £37 billion.
The total NHS Test and Trace budget for two years has been misused.
The NHS Covid-19 app cost around £76 million in the first year. £37 billion is the total budget for NHS Test and Trace in its first two years.
Health tourism costs £200 million a year—or the cost of running the NHS for 15 hours.
We've factchecked a viral video featuring NHS employees that makes claims about the NHS.
Correct, though this is based on rough estimates for 2012/13.
Latex rubber is in vaccines and causes life-threatening allergic reactions.
Latex is used in the packaging of some vaccines, which could potentially cause harm if someone’s strongly allergic to it.
Figures show a “consistently higher” number of Covid-19 cases among vaccinated adults.
This is based on misleading information which cannot be used to measure the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines.
There is little evidence that falling wages are being caused by migration, aside from in construction.
Studies find that immigration affects low-waged workers the most, in low-skilled and semi-skilled jobs generally not just in construction.
Lord Kerr, who sits on the UK Supreme Court, wrote Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union.
Lord Kerr of Kinlochard is a different person to Lord Kerr of Tonaghmore.
Wrong. There are two Lord Kerrs. John Kerr, who was one of the authors of Article 50, does not sit on the Supreme Court. That’s Brian Kerr.
This means in the UK the Covid-19 survival rate for 0-59 year olds is 99.991%.
A widely shared video on Facebook makes incorrect claims about coronavirus death data.
It doesn’t mean this. The data used only talks about England, and we can’t know for sure how many 0-59 year olds in England have had and recovered from Covid-19.
Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.
Some Covid-19 patients do get pneumonia, and one of the symptoms is a dry cough. A runny nose doesn’t rule out Covid-19.
Ian Huntley has been found dead in his cell.
The man who killed two girls in 2002 has not died, as a Facebook post claims.
New changes in wine import regulation will save British wine drinkers £130 million a year
The government estimated its new imports policy will save wine drinkers £130 million. An industry body puts the figure at around £30 million.
Most of this isn’t a “saving” but a maintenance of the status quo. It is only a saving compared to the government’s abandoned policy which would have introduced regulatory costs.
In 2013, US children got 46 vaccines and the autism rate was 1 in 88.
More diagnoses of autism disorders are being made but they are not associated with being vaccinated.
US children were recommended to get around 13 vaccines, which involved about 53 doses, in 2013. In 2012, 1 in 69 were estimated to have autism disorders and in 2014, it was 1 in 59 (we found no figures for 2013).
This photo of people waving Palestinian flags was taken at 2018’s Labour party conference.
However, trade unions and affiliates voted for Brexit to be debated at the conference.
The number of operations classed as urgent that have been cancelled twice have doubled since 2010.
Correct. The number of urgent operations in England cancelled for the second time or more for non-medical reasons more than doubled between 2011/12 and 2017/18.
Spending on the main disability benefits will increase over the course of this parliament.
Competing claims about spending on disability benefits count different types of disability benefits.
Spending on Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payments and Attendance Allowance (the ‘main disability benefits’ this claim is referring to) is expected to rise slightly over this parliament, after rising prices are taken into account. It won’t rise by as much as it has been in recent years.
Beta-Propiolactone is in vaccines and is known to cause cancer, suspected gastrointestinal, liver, nerve and respiratory, skin and sense organ poison.
It may be present in trace amounts of some vaccines. It is potentially carcinogenic, but only in much larger amounts than would be in a vaccine.
The number of hospital beds fell by 25,000 in the last six years of the last Labour government.
Correct, the number of overnight beds in the English NHS actually fell by slightly more—about 26,000—between 2003/04 and 2009/10.
It will take longer to get from Wakefield to London using HS2 than it does today.
We looked at whether HS2 will be faster for travellers than current trains.
Today a journey from Leeds to London takes around two hours. Using HS2 and going via Leeds, the journey could be around 25 minutes faster, though this doesn’t account for the time taken to change trains and board HS2, and compares current train times with the fastest possible estimates for HS2.
Britain sends 50% of exports to the EU and only 8% to the 'BRICS' economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa).
Pro-EU campaigners say that 50% of the UK's exports go to the EU, versus 8% to up-and-coming BRICS economies. It's 44% to the EU and 8% to BRICS.
44% of exports—of both goods and services—went to EU countries in 2014, and 8% to the BRICS. 50% to the EU would have been right a few years ago.
During the EU referendum it was claimed that Turkey were joining the EU.
It’s correct that this was claimed. Turkey is in the process of joining the EU but it is unlikely to happen any time soon and each EU country has a veto over the accession.
Staying at least 1m away from people cuts your risk of catching Covid-19 by 80%.
New research shows that keeping your distance does protect against coronavirus
This is correct, based on new research in the Lancet.
Spending on mental health went up by £575 million last year.
NHS England spent £11.6 billion on mental health in 2016/17.
This refers to the increase in spending by Clinical Commissioning Groups, but doesn’t account for inflation. Factoring that in the increase was around £368 million. It’s not a complete picture of mental health spending because other money is spent by the NHS on specialised mental health services. The figures on this aren’t regularly published.
Leeds City Council have not signed a contract with Carillion.
Carillion was signed off by Leeds City Council as the preferred bidder for a project in December 2017, but no contract was signed.
Carillion was signed off as Leeds City Council's preferred bidder for a contract on 20 December 2017, but they did not sign the actual contract.
The vaccines are inadequately tested and somewhat dangerous.
Claims that lockdowns and face masks don’t work are false.
False. The Covid-19 vaccines are tested thoroughly like any other vaccine and are safe.
There’s graphene oxide in the Covid-19 vaccines which reassembles in the body and becomes a “supercomputer” or “superconductor”.
A video claiming vaccines are part of the ‘fourth industrial revolution’ uses footage of World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab to claim vaccines edit your genes.
There is no graphene oxide in the Covid-19 vaccines.
Six million people earn below the living wage.
Close but not quite. Around six million jobs pay less than the voluntary living wage calculated by the Living Wage Foundation.
Around six million jobs pay less than the living wage as calculated by the Living Wage Foundation. That's not quite the same as six million people because some people have more than one job.
PCR tests which use 40 or 45 cycles give false positives which amounts to medical fraud.
A quote from the creator of the PCR process, Kary Mullis, is being used to claim PCR testing can find “anything in anybody”.
Laboratories in the UK typically do 40 cycles to PCR test samples for the virus that causes Covid-19, and some do 45. But these rarely give false positives and do not amount to medical fraud.
A "cracked" trial is one that's dropped because a witness doesn't turn up or withdraws their evidence.
Criminal trials can finish unexpectedly due to witness problems. But contrary to what's been reported, witnesses aren't the only cause of "cracked" trials.
A criminal trial can be "cracked", or closed unexpectedly, for lots of reasons. Problems with witnesses aren't the main cause.
One third of those who have won a case against the UK at the European human right court were terrorists, criminals or prisoners.
Just under half the cases won against the UK at the European Court of Human Rights have involved someone convicted or suspected of a criminal offence.
Around half of successful cases involved someone convicted or suspected of a criminal offence at some point. The answer depends on how you define "criminal".
An underground tunnel is a secret UK military site.
A Facebook post says it’s ‘UK Area 51’, but it’s actually a decommissioned nuclear bunker that has been shown to the outside world many times.
The site in the video is part of a large nuclear bunker commissioned in the 1950s. It was declassified in 2004.
The UK’s aid budget is set to have more than doubled from 2010 to 2020.
The aid budget is going up by a lot, but it isn’t set to have "more than doubled" from 2010-2020.
Not quite correct, even though there’s a few ways to look at it. The UK spent £8.5 billion on aid in 2010 and is on course to spend £15.3 in 2020, or £13.1 billion after inflation.
Feeding bread to ducks is safe and doesn't make them sick.
Bread is healthy in small amounts but should form part of a wider diet, according to charities and experts.
Many wildlife charities say bread should only be fed to ducks in small amounts. It should form part of a much wider, nutrient-rich diet and is less important during spring and summer.
A million families are dependent on food banks.
John McDonnell argued on last night's Question Time that some of the government's economic boasts are hollow. We've taken a look at his claims.
The most commonly used figures for food bank use come from the Trussell Trust. They show a million uses (not individual users) of food banks in 2013/14. The Trust isn't the only organisation running food banks, so we don't have a figure for the total number of people using food banks.
A video shows the Taliban throwing people from a plane.
A distressing video of people falling from the underside of an aircraft leaving the airport in Kabul is being shared online.
The footage actually shows a number of people falling from a US aircraft after clinging to the outside. The US Air Force, which owns and operates the aircraft, has since confirmed it is reviewing the incident.
MPs get £5,435 to feed each of their own children, on top of their salary.
MPs claiming for rental accommodation costs can claim an extra £5,500 per dependant.
If MPs are outside of London they can claim the cost of rent on a home either in London or their constituency. As part of this rental budget, they can claim an extra £5,500 per child under 18, up to three children.
People born poor will die nine years earlier than others.
Boys born in some of the UK's poorest areas are expected to live nine years fewer than those in the richest areas. For girls the figure is seven years.
This is partially correct. Boys born in some of the poorest areas in the UK are expected to live nine years fewer than those in the very richest areas. For girls the figure is seven years.
The government is protecting police budgets.
Are police budgets being cut? It depends which source of funding you count.
Central government funding is being cut in real terms over the course of this parliament, but police funding overall will stay the same if local taxation for the police is maximised.
Approximately 7% of men experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2020.
It is not around 7%, as the Safeguarding Minister claimed. This is the figure for women.
This is not correct. The true figure was 3.6%.
Student nurses of the 2017 cohort were asked to join the NHS workforce early this year, due to Covid-19.
Final year nursing students were asked to start being paid to work for the NHS early, but now that is ending.
This is true, final year nursing students were given the option to join the workforce early and be paid for this work, due to Covid-19.
There were 2.7 million more patients every year using good and outstanding hospitals at the end of Jeremy Hunt’s tenure as Health Secretary than at the beginning.
There were 2.7m more admissions in 2017/18 to hospital trusts that had improved their rating to good or outstanding than admissions to trusts that had dropped their rating to a lower rating.
This is how many more admissions there were in 2017/18 to hospital trusts that had improved their rating to good or outstanding (between 2013 and 2019) than admissions to trusts that had dropped their rating to requires improvement or inadequate.
Matt Hancock owns the company responsible for supplying the NHS.
The company was created by the Department of Health.
He owns it in his capacity as Health Secretary, not as a private individual. Any Health Secretary after him will also own it.
Real household incomes are about £900 lower than forecast before the Brexit referendum.
Mark Carney said real household incomes are about £900 lower than they were forecast to be just before the referendum, partly down to Brexit. The exact figures behind this calculation haven’t been pub
It’s not possible to get this exact figure using publicly available data and the Bank of England told us its calculation was based on unpublished data.
Iain Duncan Smith MP gets free use of a gym.
The claims about what Iain Duncan Smith can claim in expenses as an MP are not all true.
The gym is not free for MPs, who have to pay between £25 and £35 a month for membership.
When Ireland cut its corporation tax rate, their GDP went up.
Cutting corporation tax could lead to economic growth over the long-term, but is still expected to cost more than it raises.
Correct, recent estimates suggest the Irish economy grew by over 25% in 2015 due to companies relocating, although the impact on the underlying economy was considered more limited.
Being vegan for a year saves 365 animals.
These widely circulated figures about veganism are poorly sourced, but a vegan diet does reduce your consumption of animals and CO2
We haven’t seen the evidence for this. Estimates we’ve seen range between 37 and 200 animals a year.
They signed a six month contract taking them to full qualification, six months earlier than they had anticipated.
The contract they signed will depend on the trust they worked for. But some nurses may have been under the impression they would work for six months and some of the communication about the policy to nurses was ambiguous.
Far more people have died of Covid-19 in the UK than in Japan
Far more people have died of Covid-19 in the UK than in Japan, but we don’t yet know why
This is correct. At the time this post appeared there had been 31,855 Covid-19 deaths reported in the UK, compared with 628 in Japan.
Vaccines contain ingredients known to cause cancer.
Vaccines go through a number of trial stages to check they don’t have dangerous side effects.
No vaccines given in the UK contain enough of any chemical to be carcinogenic.
There were some slight changes to the lockdown rules from Wednesday 13 May but they remain much the same as before.
136 children in the UK have died of Covid since the pandemic began.
A doctor in the video said that one in 100 children with Covid-19 get sick enough to go to hospital. The real risk is probably a fraction of that.
This is not correct. The number of deaths that we know were caused by Covid in people aged under 18 in England and Wales is 50, although this figure doesn’t include 2022 deaths, and it would rise slightly with the inclusion of data from Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The UK missed its interim renewable energy target.
The UK met its interim renewable energy target for 2013 and 2014. The European Commission has suggested that the UK might be off track for its 2020 target.
The UK's target was for 5.4% of its energy consumption to come from renewable sources over 2013 and 2014. Provisional calculations show it met this target.
The number of patients having to wait over four hours for a bed in A&E increased from 83,743 in 2010 to 641,963 in 2018.
There was more than a 7x increase in the number of emergency admissions taking more than four hours from decision to admit to admission from 2010 to 2018.
These figures are broadly correct looking at the number of patients in England waiting over four hours between a decision being taken to admit them to hospital for an emergency and them actually being admitted.
118,000 care home residents had been tested for Covid-19 as of mid-May.
Boris Johnson and the Department for Health and Social Care claimed in May 125,000 staff in care settings and 118,000 care home residents had been tested for Covid-19. New data shows this incorrect.
Incorrect. When the Prime Minister made this comment, 57,000 residents had been tested in public labs, and 61,074 tests were processed in commercial labs. Adding these together gets to 118,000 but that’s not appropriate as this would lead to residents being double counted.
According to the vaccine manufacturer’s own vaccine package insert, measles is the number one side effect of the MMR.
It’s incorrect to claim that measles and death are side effects of the MMR.
Incorrect. “Atypical measles” is mentioned as an adverse reaction (which is not the same as a side effect) of the MMR vaccine used in the US and one of the UK MMR vaccines. People given a certain type of measles jab in the 1960s and 70s could get “atypical measles” if they were exposed to a certain measles strain afterwards. The other UK MMR vaccine brand lists “atypical measles” as a “possible side effect” as some people who were given the MMR got atypical measles if they also got the old measles jab.
Trade with the EU is more than double that with Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and the USA combined.
It’s correct that the UK trades much more with the rest of the EU than with English-speaking countries further afield - at the moment.
Bombardier is worth 10% of Northern Ireland’s GDP.
Bombardier is a significant part of the Northern Irish economy but we’ve seen no evidence that it’s worth a full 10% of GDP.
We’ve seen no evidence for this. Bombardier claims it makes up 10% of Northern Ireland’s manufacturing exports, which is about 2% of its GDP.
Theresa May should drop her deal, extend the implementation period to the end of 2021 if necessary; use it to negotiate a free trade deal; pay the fee; but come out of the EU now—without the backstop.
If Theresa May were to drop her deal and leave the EU now, we wouldn’t get an implementation period.
The implementation period is part of Mrs May’s deal—in order to leave the EU imminently and still have an implementation period the UK would need to pass that deal.
There are 13 deaths by suicide every day in England.
It is correct that in 2015 there were around 13 deaths by suicide a day in England.
In real terms over the last three months, wages have gone down not up.
Wages are not up over the past quarter, but they are up over the past year.
Between April 2021 and July 2021 total pay remained stable, while regular pay fell 0.6% in real terms.
These lipid nanoparticles may have adverse effects on fertility for both men and women.
Nanoparticles are the general term for very small particles.
Nanoparticles are a broad spectrum of different materials that only have their small size in common. There’s no evidence that the lipid nanoparticles in these vaccines will have any effect on fertility.
According to a University of Bristol study, mask-wearing by large numbers of people can reduce the R rate by 0.25.
Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham appeared to misquote the study on the Today programme
The study estimated that if everyone in a given population wore a mask it could lead to a median reduction of the R number of 25%, not a flat reduction of 0.25.
You cannot catch Covid-19 person to person or touching surfaces.
Posts claiming that viruses are just dead material and the body contains many viruses don’t disprove the fact that Covid-19 can be very harmful.
This is incorrect. There’s evidence that Covid-19 and other coronaviruses, like the common cold and SARS, spread in these ways.
Anticoagulants should be used to fight Covid-19.
Some people with severe Covid-19 develop blood clotting problems, but this doesn’t mean that pneumonia is a misdiagnosis.
There is evidence supporting the use of anticoagulants in some Covid-19 patients.
Net migration to the UK has fallen by 49,000 to 273,000.
You need to tread carefully when drawing conclusions about today's headlines.
Estimates show this for the 12 months leading to September 2016. The changes aren’t statistically significant so we can’t say for sure, but may well be showing a genuine fall.
There is a very long list of people urging the Prime Minister to pause Universal Credit, including the Citizens Advice, the Trussell Trust, John Major and two dozen Conservative back benchers.
Citizens Advice and Trussell Trust have called for a pause, and John Major has recommended a review. The number of Conservative MPs calling for a pause is based on reports in the Telegraph.
Citizens Advice and Trussell Trust have issued press releases calling for a pause, and John Major has recommended a review. The number of Conservative MPs calling for a pause is based on reports in the Telegraph.
One in five people are drinking too much alcohol.
Alcohol consumption in Britain has been falling over time. But alcohol-related hospital admissions and deaths have remained at roughly the same level.
21% of adults aged 16+ in England reported to an NHS Digital survey that they usually drank more than the recommended 14 units of alcohol a week in 2017.
Mask-wearing causes people to contract bacterial pneumonia.
Evidence shows mask wearing may reduce the risk of bacterial infection.
The proportion of people with a job who live in poverty has risen for the last three years.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation said “there has been little change in overall poverty levels for more than 15 years.”
This is incorrect. In 2017/18, 13% of households with at least one person in work lived in poverty. This was a slight fall from the year before.
The EU has shrunk as a percentage of the world economy.
Daniel Hannan says that Europe has shrunk as a percentage of world GDP. We take a look at the EU's share of world GDP over time.
That’s correct. The EU economy has grown in size, but the rest of the world economy has grown faster.
400,000 people are being paid to be tested every week.
The post cites inaccurate claims about how testing and virus levels are measured.
This seems to be based on target figures for the ONS infection survey, which measures how many people currently have or have already had the virus. Participants are given vouchers. This is a different program to tests conducted under the Test & Trace scheme.
Since 2000, almost as many British military personnel have died in training or exercises as were killed in Iraq.
It's correct that there have been almost as many armed forces deaths on training as in Iraq, although not all could necessarily have been prevented.
Correct, although some deaths may not have been directly related to the training.
All cameras on the M1 and M25 went live recently, set at 72mph.
Claims about speed cameras on the M1 and M25 have gone viral, but the rules on speeding on these motorways haven’t changed.
Highways England says it is not aware of any changes on these roads. The normal speed limit on motorways and dual carriageways is up to 70mph although it may be lower at some points on these roads.
Remaining in the EU gives us the right to keep control of our borders and stay out of the Schengen agreement on free movement.
Remaining would allow us to carry out border checks but the UK couldn’t opt out of free movement—EU citizens would continue having the right to freely move to and work in the UK.
Life expectancy has stopped increasing in some areas and fallen in others.
How many people will be affected by government proposals to bring forward the rise in the state pension age by seven years?
It’s correct that the life expectancy figures in some areas of the UK have stopped increasing. Figures have slightly decreased in other areas, but it's premature to say that life expectancy is falling in reality due to the margin of error.
There's a "massive gap" of 100,000 units a year between what housing is needed and what is being built.
Housing was first up in Jeremy Corbyn's debut Prime Minister's Questions, where he claimed there was a housing gap of around 100,000.
Jeremy Corbyn, Prime Minister's Questions
There's a few different ways of looking at it but 100,000 seems to be a pretty reasonable estimate of the gap (for 2014).
A video shows what may be synthetic fibres inside a cupcake.
The video suggests that a number of things about foods are harmful but the claims it makes are mostly incorrect or misleading.
Incorrect, the “fibres” shown in the video are gluten strands, a common protein found in things like wheat.
82% of study participants who were prescribed statins or blood pressure pills were more likely to gain weight.
A study found that taking statins or blood pressure pills increased the likelihood of obesity by 82%, but the findings can’t be applied to the wider population.
This is incorrect. A study found that the risk of becoming obese increased by 82% among participants who were prescribed statins or blood pressure drugs, not that 82% risked becoming obese. This study does not prove that these drugs caused the weight gain.
The government invested an extra £34 billion in the NHS, which was a record increase.
Dawn Butler was removed from the Commons for claiming that the Prime Minister lied.
This is the cash value of the announced increase between 2018/19 and 2023/24, but the real-terms value, which includes the effects of inflation, was £20.5 billion. There was an increase at least this large between 2004/5 and 2009/10.
Prisoners becoming eligible for early release halfway through their sentences was a Labour policy.
It’s possible for people who murder children to be given whole-life sentences, but the law doesn’t currently require this as a starting point in all cases.
It actually first became law in 1991, under a Conservative government. Labour continued it in a major revamp of the law in 2003.
The two most recent PHE reports show no statistically significant excess all-cause mortality.
Reporting lags over Christmas distorted Public Health England’s estimates, which have since been updated.
There are excess deaths in England at the moment. The PHE reports used estimates that were distorted by the reporting lag over Christmas. PHE has already revised its findings for week 52 of 2020 and may revise its findings for week 53.
A report suggests an independent Scotland would have to keep the pound.
A report commissioned by the Scottish National Party recommends that an independent Scotland should not immediately change its currency from the pound.
A report commissioned by the Scottish National Party recommends that an independent Scotland' should keep "the pound sterling for a possibly extended transition period”, although it does not rule out Scotland moving to its own currency in the longer term.
A survey found 11% of workers who report having taken a financial hit from the coronavirus pandemic have been evicted.
Housing charity Shelter says there has been a spike in evictions due to all reasons, though not as large a spike as found in a recent survey.
Housing charity Shelter says there has been a spike in evictions, though not nearly as large a spike as this survey found.
There were more suicide deaths than coronavirus deaths in the last two months.
A post on social media claims without evidence that suicide deaths have been higher than coronavirus deaths in the last two months.
There is no evidence for this. Due to the time taken to formally register a suicide death, official figures on recent suicides do not yet exist.
Covid-19 vaccines have not been tested and there are no medical studies underlying them.
A widely shared video on social media, featuring an interview with a funeral director contains false information about the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Covid-19 vaccine trials have been published in peer-reviewed journals. The data collection and analysis are ongoing, in order to allow up to two years of follow up on participants.
The government has introduced new rules allowing passengers to claim compensation if a train is delayed by 15 minutes.
A scheme providing compensation of 25% on single train fares for delays between 15 and 29 minutes will be introduced from 11 December on some services.
Correct. The scheme will be introduced on some rail services from 11 December and the government has said it will become a requirement for all rail franchises.
Luciferase is the name given to the bioluminescent natural enzyme which makes glow worms glow. Regardless, it isn't in any of the vaccines.
South Korean Police use purple dye cannons to mark protesters
Dye in cannons is a widely used but controversial policing tactic around the world.
South Korean police have historically used yellow dye cannons of protesters, but have reportedly begun to reconsider the user of water cannons.
An “Australian terms” trade deal could be called a deal on Mongolian or Afghan terms.
On Sunday, Andrew Marr suggested that an “Australian terms” deal with the EU could well be called “Afghan” terms. Afghanistan actually has more favourable trade terms with the EU than Australia.
Mongolia and Afghanistan actually have more favourable trade terms with the EU, at least as far as tariffs are concerned, than Australia.
A video of people throwing rocks into a road is of migrants in Calais.
The video was taken in Israel during protests by Ethiopian-Israelis.
It actually shows protests in Israel by Ethiopian-Israelis.
A HMRC boss, Edward Troup, once said that taxation is “legalised extortion”.
A senior tax official says that an old quote of his that taxation is "legalised extortion" should be seen in context. Here's the context.
He did write this, but says it should be seen in context. The words appeared in a 1997 opinion piece in the Financial Times, in which Mr Troup argued against a particular approach to preventing tax avoidance.
Adult education has been cut by 35% during David Cameron’s time as Prime Minister.
Jeremy Corbyn has claimed that adult skills funding was cut by 35% in the last Parliament.
Analysis by membership body the Association of Colleges has shown that spending on core adult skills for those aged 19 and over fell by 35% between 2009/10 and 2015/16. The cut was about 41% once inflation is accounted for.
This man holding a “The UK Invented Racism” sign is the same that tried to burn the Cenotaph’s Union Jack.
This is incorrect. They are two different people.
In 2010-11, there were 3.5 million children living in relative poverty. Today, the figure after housing costs is 4.2 million.
There are so many ways to measure poverty that it is hard to know what’s really going on—as MPs proved on Wednesday.
Broadly correct. In 2010/11 the figure was 3.6 million (27% of children), and in 2018/19 it was 4.2 million (30% of children).However, if you measured from 2009/10, when the proportion was also 30%, there would be no change.
There are half a million more children in poverty since 2010.
Based on one of the most comprehensive measures, child poverty fell between 2010 and 2015, but has been rising since. The latest figures suggest it’s now back to roughly what it was in 2010.
This is what’s estimated to have happened to children in relative low income households, comparing 2010/11 to 2017/18. But this is one measure of several and the alternatives show smaller increases or even slight falls.
The climate change committee says that the Government is way off target with its climate change commitments and carbon targets.
A report by the Committee on Climate Change says the UK is not currently on track to meet its carbon emissions targets in the 2020s and 2030s.
The government is off target. In June 2018, the Committee on Climate Change said “the fact is that we’re off track to meet our own emissions targets in the 2020s and 2030s.”
Boris Johnson said this quote about Liverpudlians “seeing themselves whenever possible as victims”.
He was editor of the Spectator, where the comments appeared.
Mr Johnson was editor of that publication, but a different journalist has claimed responsibility for writing it.
Pets carry no threat and do not carry the new coronavirus.
Hundreds of thousands have shared claims on Facebook that pets don’t carry the virus.
This is correct. At present, there’s no evidence that dogs and cats can be infected.
Royal Mail has instructed staff to step away from customers when making deliveries, and if necessary to sign for items on their behalf.
Royal Mail staff will keep their distance when making deliveries. If the item needs a signature, the postman or postwoman will sign it on your behalf.
This is correct. Royal Mail confirmed that this is their policy.
This is a photo of a giant eagle in Scotland.
The photo appears to have originally been taken in South Carolina.
This photo was not taken in Scotland, it was taken in the USA.
A coronavirus vaccine for cows shows that the virus behind the current outbreak is not new.
There are many different types of coronavirus, and they can affect humans or animals.
This is a different coronavirus from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can affect a range of species.
There are more teachers with first class degrees.
Teacher numbers increased between 2010 and 2015. The proportion of postgraduate trainee teachers with first class degrees was increasing before 2015, but the figures since then aren’t completely compa
The proportion of postgraduate trainee teachers with first class degrees did increase between 2012 and 2014. In 2015 and 2016 it seems to be static. These more recent figures aren’t fully comparable with those from earlier because of a change in the data.
Brexit will lead to a cut to GDP of between 3%, 5% and 8%. However you look at it, that’s a recession.
Government analysis of a number of Brexit scenarios estimated that over the next 15 years economic growth could be reduced by around 2%, 5% and 8% depending on the outcome.
This is based on government figures which were actually saying that economic growth is likely to slow down, not that a recession is likely.
The UK’s “underground population” grew by 327,000 between 2010 and 2015.
There were 164,000 attempts to cross into the UK made between 2010 and 2015, although these figures don’t correspond to individual people.
We don’t know how many people entered the UK without being detected.
Around 16% of the working age adult population has a disability.
An estimated 19% of working-age adults, and 22% of all people in the UK have a disability, as defined by the Equality Act.
This is broadly correct but slightly too low. An estimated 19% of working age adults have a disability, using the Equality Act definition.
4,500 people died of the flu within a matter of days.
In 1918 Philadelphia saw 200,000 attend a parade, despite reports of influenza in the city. After the parade, cases skyrocketed.
A reported 12,000 died in Philadelphia of the flu within four weeks.
Fluoride is so toxic it is considered hazardous waste.
We factchecked a series of claims about fluoride, from whether it was used by the Nazis to sedate prisoners to whether it calcifies your pineal gland.
Fluoride is toxic at high concentrations, but these are much higher than the levels found in toothpaste and tap water.
If a wound was not caused by a rusty nail where farm animals graze you most likely don’t have to worry about tetanus.
It is not true that if a wound bleeds, there’s no chance you have tetanus.
Some wounds carry a higher risk of tetanus than others. However, it is not true to say that a wound caused by a rusty nail where farm animals graze is the only type of injury that could lead to tetanus infection.
Remaining in the EU allows us to stay out of the Euro.
1,400 more people are accessing mental health services every day, compared to 2010/11.
Changes to the way these figures are gathered means we don’t know for sure how the number of people accessing mental health services has changed between 2010/11 and 2014/15.
NHS figures suggest the number using mental health services is increasing but changes to the way these figures are gathered means we can’t say for sure or put an exact figure on it.
There is an order to incinerate or immediately bury Covid-19 bodies without autopsy.
There are more council houses that have been built in the last seven years than under the last Labour government.
Technically more council houses have been built since 2010 than during the 13 years of Labour but most new social houses aren’t council houses.
This claim is technically correct, but it ignores the major role of housing associations in the provision of social housing. Including homes built by local authorities and housing associations, Labour built more houses during their 13 years than in the 7 years since then, but built on average fewer houses per year.
The alkaline diet has benefits based on its combatting of acidic conditions in the body.
This post makes claims about the relation between the body’s pH and health that have been widely debunked.
There were 8,244 full time equivalent health visitors in the NHS as of December 2017, the lowest number since August 2013.
There were the equivalent of 10,000 NHS health visitors working full-time in England in December 2015. That fell by 19% by December 2017 to just over 8,200 now.
MPs get £25 per day food allowance. That adds up to £845,000 per year for all MPs.
A viral post on Twitter claimed they can claim this every day and that it amounts to over £800,000. It doesn’t.
MPs can only claim this allowance for food if they stay overnight outside their constituency or London for parliamentary work. This is not what they can claim for every day of working in parliament, so this larger figure is meaningless.
Leeds City Council announced that Carillion was its preferred bidder for a contract last week.
Leeds City Council authorised the award of a contract worth £14 million to Carillion on 20 December 2017, although they did not sign the actual contract.
Despite reports to the contrary, Clint Eastwood is alive.
Snapchat knows what time you were born even if you don’t put those details in the app.
A social media post incorrectly suggests that Snapchat gathers information about when you were born without your knowledge.
Birthday, time of birth and place of birth are all entered manually by the user to access certain in-app features.
Maths and science has fallen to a record low in Scottish schools
Boris Johnson’s claims about education in Scotland are not all quite right.
Scotland’s maths and science ranking has fallen to a record low in international league tables but attainment in national qualifications has risen
Facebook has said sharing the Lord’s Prayer goes against their policies.
This is incorrect. The post is based on an unsourced article from 2016.
A woman has recently been filmed filling plastic bags full of petrol at an Esso forecourt in Tooting.
A tweet falsely claims that a woman was filmed filling plastic bags full of petrol at an Esso forecourt in Tooting.
This is not true. The video was published online two years ago and was filmed at a petrol station in Texas.
The UK paid out £674 million in health costs to European countries, but received only £49 million in return. Addressing this could “transform the financial situation of the NHS”.
The figures are broadly correct for 2015, although addressing this situation would in itself only have a marginal impact on the financial situation of the NHS.
There was no Marshall Plan for Britain, only for Germany.
The UK received more funding from the Marshall Plan than any other country.
That’s incorrect. The UK received more funding from the Marshall Plan than any other country. We received around $3bn, and West Germany received around $1.5 billion.
Shops buy apples that are coated with wax.
Correct, this replaces natural wax washed off after picking, but the new wax poses no health risk.
Emma Tustin, convicted of the murder of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, has been hospitalised after inmates forced her to eat 79 packets of salt.
A Facebook post falsely claims Emma Tustin, who killed Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, has been hospitalised after being forced to eat 79 packets of salt.
Sodexo, which runs the prison where Tustin is serving her sentence, says there is no truth to the claim.
A 2019 blogpost authored by Dominic Cummings was recently edited to include a warning about coronavirus.
The Wayback Machine website shows the edit being made in mid-April 2020.
Correct. The edit appears to have been made on 14 April 2020.
Menachem Begin was a key organiser of the 1946 Irgun attack on the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.
It was taken in 1979 during his visit to the UK as Israel’s prime minister.
PHE released a report revealing 62% of Covid-19 deaths are people who have been vaccinated.
Many of the most at-risk people have been vaccinated, which is why figures from Public Health England show that some have still died.
PHE’s report suggests 61% of Covid-19 deaths with the Delta variant are in people who have received at least one vaccine dose. But this is not unexpected when no vaccine is 100% effective and so many vulnerable people have been vaccinated.
US patent number CA2741523 is for swine flu.
This is the application number for a patent for the Ebola virus made to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. This patent has not been granted, and doesn’t mean the Ebola virus was created by someone.
85% of people who test positive for Covid wore masks always or often.
A woman reading out a newspaper makes several claims about the pandemic which are false or misleading.
This comes from a study that found a slightly higher proportion of people who tested negative wore masks, and were less likely to visit restaurants, where mask wearing is difficult.
The Covid-19 vaccine makes you magnetic at the injection site.
False. The vaccine does not make any part of you magnetic.
51% of people working for the NHS aren’t clinically qualified.
51% of people working for the NHS are clinically qualified. Looking at it another way, that’s 53% of full-time equivalents.
The ‘Indian variant’ hasn’t affected the countries between India and the UK.
The UK has sequenced high numbers of cases, but sequencing has shown that the variant is present in lots of other countries too.
The B1.617 variants have been found across many continents, and many countries ‘between India and the UK’.
One in four of the most disadvantaged children leave primary school obese, twice the rate for the most advantaged.
Childhood obesity affects 25% of year 6 pupils attending schools in the most deprived tenth of areas, and 13% at the least deprived tenth.
That's right. Of year 6 pupils who go to school in the most deprived tenth of areas, 25% are classed as obese, compared to 13% for children in the least deprived tenth.
The government has restored the nurses’ bursary.
The government has reintroduced a non-repayable grant for all student nurses. However, student nurses must continue to pay their own tuition fees, without the contribution they received when the old bursary applied.
11,000 of 13,000 knife attacks in London were carried out by Muslim migrants.
A claim that 11,000 of 13,000 knife attacks in London were carried out by Muslim immigrants is unfounded and implausible.
This claim is baseless as information on offenders’ religion and nationality is not held by the authorities. Regardless, the claim is implausible.
Airports have been built with foreign aid money where planes can’t take off and land because of winds.
St Helena airport didn’t run commercial flights between its opening in May 2016 and October 2017, but now runs flights to Ascension Island and South Africa.
St Helena airport, which was built with £285 million of foreign aid, was unable to run commercial flights when it first opened due to wind shear on the island. But since October 2017 it has run commercial flights.
Six million people earn below the national living wage.
We’ve looked at how many people are estimated to earn below the National Living Wage set by the government and the living wage that campaigners recommend.
The research this appears to be based on refers to jobs, rather than people. In 2014 5.4 million people with one job earned below the national living wage.
Rail commuter fares are rising faster than wages.
Train season tickets for commuters are rising by 3.2% next year – higher than wages are rising.
Serco runs the enforcement of the UK’s test and trace system, including the app.
We have seen similar claims before about Pirbright, Serco, and the Test and Trace system.
This is not true. Serco has had no involvement in the app. Its contracted work for England’s Test and Trace system involves running call centres and testing facilities.
Dental X-rays don’t work as a means of finding out a person’s age.
Can you tell someone's age from tooth X-rays?
The British Dental Association describes them as “ineffective”, and there’s a large margin for error. The Home Office does accept voluntary tooth X-rays as evidence of age in an asylum application.
A photo shows a Palestinian girl after her house was demolished in 2003.
A Facebook post claims to show a picture of a Palestinian girl in 2003 who grew up to be a lecturer in Canada. But the people in the photographs are not the same person.
This photo was taken in Gaza and shows a young girl, but was taken in 2014, not 2003.
The European Commission is setting up an EU army to protect the borders.
Newspaper reports describe a proposed new European Border and Coast Agency as an EU "army" or "navy". We've taken a look.
This refers to Commission proposals for a new border agency with increased powers, including the ability to operate in a country despite its objections. Most, if not all, of its border guards would be provided by member countries. The UK isn't covered by this plan.
Less than half of the migrants entering Europe are from Syria.
The Foreign Secretary has been reported as saying that less than half of migrants are fleeing Syria.
This is correct, according to the United Nations. 48% of migrants and asylum seekers arriving in Europe by sea since January 2015 have been Syrian.
£37 billion has been spent on NHS Test and Trace so far.
A post on social media uses the total two-year Test and Trace budget to make misleading claims about where the money is going.
This is not true. £37 billion is the budget for the project’s first two years. We don’t know exactly how much was spent by early March, but it will be much less.
A new law to speed up the installation of 5G technology was quietly passed on March 23.
The 5G And Beyond Act is not a British law. Nor is it about speeding up 5G installation.
This law was passed in the US, not the UK, after going through Congress for a year. It’s intended to ensure the security of 5G infrastructure, not to speed up the installation.
Human-derived cells have been used in the manufacture of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, but they are filtered out of the final product. They are replicas of a cell derived from a foetus in the 1970s. They are not used in the manufacture of other vaccines, such as Pfizer’s.
Boris Johnson refused 50,000 ventilators offered by the EU.
The UK did not join an EU scheme to stockpile medical equipment. However, even if the UK had joined this scheme, the budget would deliver nowhere near 50,000 ventilators across all participants.
This is not true. The UK did not join an EU scheme to stockpile medical equipment, but this is not the same as turning down 50,000 ventilators.The total budget of the scheme wouldn’t have covered this many ventilators.
The UK has dropped to 14th in a world ranking for investment in renewable energy.
The UK has dropped down a ranking of countries by attractiveness for renewable energy investment.
The UK has fallen to 14th in a ranking for most attractive countries to invest in renewables. A different ranking put it at 4th in the world for actual spending in 2015.
A&E waiting times in England hit worst-ever level.
83.6% of patients attending A&E departments in England were admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours. That’s the lowest level on record, going back to 2010.
Correct, looking at data which goes back to 2010.
A famous photo of Earth published in 2002 is a composite image or “photoshop”. It also pastes copies of clouds across the surface.
An Instagram video makes a number of bizarre claims about NASA manipulating footage from space and its Apollo programme.
The image from 2002 is a composite image but made up of thousands of files worth of real data. The image’s creator said clouds in some places were duplicated but it is not a cover-up or hoax.
The reason why there are more cases is because they are testing more people.
A widely shared video on social media makes a number of incorrect and misleading statements about the pandemic.
It’s true more people are being tested than ever before, but we also know deaths and hospitalisations have increased.
Leave.EU was cleared of a number of things and no criminal charges were brought against them.
Fiona Bruce and an audience member found themselves each talking about Leave.EU and Vote Leave.
Both the Metropolitan Police and the National Crime Agency closed investigations into Leave.EU with no charges brought. However Leave.EU was found by the Electoral Commission to have broken electoral law, and paid a fine.
The 2016 EU referendum was the largest democratic vote in British history.
More people voted to leave the EU in 2016 than have voted for any other single electoral option in British political history. But that’s not the only way to define “largest democratic vote”.
More people voted to leave the EU in 2016 than have voted for any other single electoral option in British political history. Options in other votes have received a higher percentage share of the vote, and the 1992 general election had a higher number of total voters.
The figures in this post are either out of date or inaccurate in their claims. However, it is unlikely people are taking them seriously.
The prison population of the UK was 92,500 in 2018.
Theresa May has agreed a £39 billion Brexit bill with the EU.
Since 2000 the UK has made a net contribution to the EU of £122 billion in today’s money.
The UK government has agreed to a Brexit bill in principle, though an exact amount hasn’t been confirmed. The latest estimates suggest it will be around £35-39 billion.
There’s a record level of investment going into schools.
You can look at the schools budget in terms of the actual cash that’s being spent, the value of that cash after prices have risen, and how it divides per pupil.
We’ve asked the government for the source of this. The cash amount going to schools in England is rising and ahead of inflation, but spending per pupil is set to fall in real terms, by 8% between 2014 and 2020, taking school-specific inflation into account.
A video claims to show a pro-President Trump rally during his state visit to the UK.
A number of viral videos showing large crowds supporting and opposing President Trump are old.
The video is of pro-Trump crowds at a rally, but not from this year; it’s from his visit to the UK in 2018.
The flu kills up to 650,000 people worldwide each year.
The WHO estimated in 2017 that there are 290,000 to 650,000 flu-related deaths each year.
This is the WHO’s upper estimate of annual worldwide flu-related deaths, with a lower estimate of 290,000.
£37 billion was found to pay Serco for a failed track and trace system.
Most of the money spent on Test and Trace goes on testing. Serco plays a big part in tracing, but does not receive a majority of the funding.
£37 billion is the two-year budget for Test and Trace. The vast majority is spent on testing not tracing and does not go to Serco.
The UK spends more than the average rich country on health services.
Compared to countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, health spending in the UK as a proportion of GDP was above average in 2014.
This is correct if you compare the proportion of GDP health spending made up in the UK in 2014 with the OECD. This includes private spending and social care which aren’t always included in figures on health spending in the UK.
Boris Johnson announced an extra £14.4 billion in funding for schools over three years.
Figures given by the Department for Education about the amount of weekly funding for schools do not give the full picture.
£14.4 billion is the cumulative amount schools in England will receive over three years. By the third year (2022/23), school funding will be £7.1 billion higher than it was in 2019/20, or £4.3 billion once inflation is accounted for.
The Lisbon treaty calls for EU member nations to be part of the euro by 2020.
Even if the UK is still in the EU next year, the Lisbon treaty does not force it to adopt the Euro. The UK has an opt-out from this.
Incorrect. The treaty aims for the euro becoming the currency of all member states of the Union but it isn’t time limited and the UK has an explicit opt-out.
People earning £80,000 are not in the top 5%. Doctors and lawyers make more than that.
Despite the disagreement of an audience member on question time, a salary of £80,000 a year puts you in the top 5% of income tax payers.
If you are earning over £80,000 you are in the top 5% of earners. The average salary of a doctor or a lawyer is substantially lower than that.
The "Stevens plan" for an extra £8bn into the NHS can help to fund better mental health services, among other things.
The £8 billion figure is totemic for the future of the NHS, but as the Nuffield Trust has explained, it is not extra money to pay for extra services.
£8bn is the minimum amount required to keep services at current levels. It is not extra money to pay for extra services.
Buy to let landlords get £6bn in subsidies from the government.
Individual landlords can get allowances for the cost of running properties.
It’s not clear where this figure is from. In any case, the rules on tax relief for landlords have recently changed, so the amount claimed by landlords is likely to change too.
The death rate in Andalucía almost halved between November and December following the introduction of their vitamin D policy.
Some studies have shown an association between vitamin D and coronavirus infections.
The death rate in Andalucía did drop, but numbers increased again in January. There are also other reasons that may explain the drop in cases in Andalucía, and the difference between Andalucía and the UK case numbers.
Andy Murray is the first person ever to win two Olympic tennis gold medals.
Andy Murray is the first to win two Olympic gold medals in singles tennis, but other men and women have won multiple gold medals.
Murray is the first to win two Olympic gold medals in singles tennis, but 19 other men and women have won multiple gold medals in all forms of Olympic tennis. He’s also the first man to successfully defend an Olympic title; a number of women have done so in doubles.
If the UK were in a customs union with the EU, we’ll be reliant on the European Union to protect our steel industry.
Seven EU countries produce more steel than the UK, including Germany, Italy and France. The UK is responsible for 4% of the EU’s steel production.
Being in a customs union with the EU means we have to apply the same tariffs on steel imports as the rest of the EU does.
NHS England estimates that 30% of A&E visits don’t need to be made.
It was estimated in 2010 that between 10% and 30% of cases attending A&E were of a type that could be seen by a GP.
The Primary Care Foundation estimated in 2010 that between 10% and 30% of cases attending A&E were of a type that could be seen by a GP.
NHS Test and Trace cost £22 billion in just a few months.
£22bn is the budget for the first year of NHS Test and Trace, but we don’t know how much has actually been spent.
This is not quite right. £22 billion is the budget allocated by the government for the first year of Test and Trace. £4 billion was spent up to the end of October. We don’t yet know how much the whole first year will cost.
The number of police officer could be the lowest since the 1970s following funding cuts.
It's claimed spending cuts could mean 22,000 fewer police officers in England and Wales. Would that put police numbers at their lowest since the 1970s?
The cuts have yet to be announced and we don't know how they'd affect officer numbers. A cut of 14,000 officers would mean the lowest number since the 1970s.
An image shows members of the Nazi party turning their backs in the German parliament.
They did so during a speech by a communist politician in the Reichstag. Joseph Goebbels can be seen in the picture.
That is what the picture shows, although some descriptions have details wrong.
The prime minister’s Chequers deal is more unpopular than the Poll Tax.
Opinion polling suggests that the Chequers deal has marginally less support than the Poll Tax did at its least popular – but less outright opposition.
Not quite. Recent polling suggests that the Chequers deal is supported by fewer people than the Poll Tax was at its least popular, but fewer people also oppose it outright.
If we Vote Leave... We will control our borders.
A vote to leave doesn’t necessarily mean we will control immigration. It depends on what the government chooses to do with immigration policy, and what arrangements it negotiates.
A viral video claims to show US paratroopers landing in Ukraine.
A video viewed over seven million times shows US paratroopers in North Carolina—not Ukraine, as claimed.
False. The footage reportedly shows soldiers in North Carolina and dates back to at least 2016.
Thousands of people died within weeks of being found fit for work.
It's been widely claimed that thousands of people died within weeks of being found "fit for work". This is wrong.
The figures show people who died within weeks of their claim ending, not being found fit for work. Many claims have ended because the claimant died
One in five asylum seekers in the EU are from Syria.
The Mail claims that 1 in 5 asylum seekers have been Syrian. The Guardian says there is evidence that's changing as the situation develops. Both are right.
This was correct for the EU asylum applications in spring 2015 (the latest figures available). But this was before a more recent surge in arrivals, and there is evidence to suggest that a high proportion of these people are from Syria.
Iain Duncan Smith MP gets free stationery.
MPs can claim expenses for office stationery.
Evidence is growing that Covid-19 vaccines may worsen the disease in some recipients because antibodies developed as a result of the jab can end up enhancing disease rather than protecting against infection.
Experts say animal studies, clinical trials, and increasing real world data add to evidence that Covid-19 vaccines are not causing antibody dependent enhancement.
Antibody dependant enhancement is a rare but genuine risk when it comes to creating new vaccines. There is good evidence that this does not occur with the current Covid-19 vaccines in use, from animal studies, large human trials, and real world data from people who have received the vaccine.
Black Lives Matter Scotland have produced posters and stickers with phrases such as “Kill a white on sight” on them.
The group have said they do not support the message of the stickers.
The group have denied the material came from them.
The Pfizer vaccine has a one in 17 mortality rate.
Data on adverse events following a Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine has been misrepresented to suggest one in 17 die.
False. Of those adverse event cases reported after vaccination with the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine which ended in death or recovery, this figure is the proportion which were fatal.
CDC document confirms that SARS-CoV-2 has never been isolated.
This is a misunderstanding of a passage of a CDC document.
This is wrong. The document was talking about a process used to understand the ‘lower limit of detection’ during the creation of PCR tests. SARS-CoV-2 has been isolated many times.
A man was fined £50 for burning poppies.
However, it is unclear if Mr Choudhury’s fine came out of his benefits.
This is true. Emdadur Choudhury was fined after burning poppies in 2011.
You can get a £3,000 fine for not wearing a face covering and a £10,000 fine for a group gathering.
One post comparing punishments has over 20,000 shares on Facebook.
In England, you can get fined up to £6,400 for repeatedly not wearing a mask without a valid exemption. People organising large gatherings can be fined up to £10,000.
The Institute for Public Policy Research found household bills will rise by between £245 and £1,961 a year after Brexit.
A consultancy estimated a “hard Brexit” scenario could increase average household cost by £961, not £1,961 as claimed.
Incorrect. Consultancy Oliver Wyman (not the IPPR) estimate household bills will rise by between £245 and £961 (not £1,961) a year after Brexit. The figure of £1,961 was a typo in a newspaper.
New legislation has been introduced to change laws on workplace rights.
The government plans to introduce draft legislation on workers’ rights, but it has not yet come into force.
The government has made a statement to parliament saying they intend to introduce new laws to change workers’ rights. The exact wording of the proposed law hasn’t been published yet.
Covid-19 vaccines have the capacity to change your DNA.
These include false claims that all animals in Covid vaccine trials died and that vaccines can change your DNA.
It is untrue that Covid-19 vaccines, which include mRNA vaccines, have the capacity to affect your DNA. mRNA vaccines work by introducing a molecule into the body which instructs cells to build a disease-specific antigen. The antigen is then recognised by the immune system which produces antibodies to fight the real thing.
Sadiq Khan was the consultant lawyer for the captured 9/11 Al Qaeda terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui.
Back when he was a human rights lawyer, Sadiq Khan’s then-law firm consulted on the defence man who was later convicted of conspiring with the 9/11 attackers.
Sadiq Khan did consult for the defence of Zacarias Moussaoui, although Mr Khan never represented the man in court and has never met him.
There have been 1,517 deaths and 1,102,228 adverse reactions caused by the Covid-19 vaccines.
This system provides a way of reporting and monitoring suspected reactions.
These figures relate to Yellow Card reports. This is a mechanism to allow individuals to report any suspected reactions or side effects even if the reporter isn’t sure that it was caused by the vaccine. The MHRA says “It is very important to note that a Yellow Card report does not necessarily mean the vaccine caused that reaction or event”.
The statistics which show that 7,810 more doctors are working in the NHS than a year ago include thousands of medical students who are not qualified.
Even when excluding final year students fast tracked into hospital roles due to the pandemic, the number of doctors has risen.
The statistics include some final year students who could register as a doctor earlier than normal, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This doesn’t mean they are “not qualified”.
The EU has set a 15% overall target for UK energy consumption from renewable sources in 2020.
There's some confusion over the UK's renewable energy target. Here's our guide to what it is, where it comes from, and what might happen if it's missed.
The UK does have a 15% overall target. It also has a 10% target for renewables in transport energy consumption in 2020. The exact way in which the 15% target is met is up to the UK, so long as the 10% transport sub-target is met.
There are more flu vaccines available than ever before.
The number of NHS hospital beds has halved in the last thirty years, but the number of doctors has risen consistently.
In October, the Chief Medical Officer for England said that there were “more people eligible than ever before” for the flu vaccine this winter, and NHS England said it aimed to treat up to 21 million people. Public Health England doesn’t yet have complete figures on how many people received the vaccine this winter.
Children should not return to school after a positive lateral flow test, even if they receive a negative follow-up PCR test result.
There’s been some confusion over whether pupils can return to school after a positive lateral flow test but a negative PCR result.
This is not what the guidance for testing states. Pupils should only have a follow-up PCR test if they get a positive lateral flow result at home. If the follow-up comes back negative they can go back to school.
Norway has free movement with the EU, despite not being in the single market.
Norway and some other countries follow the free movement rules of the single market without being EU members.
Norway does have free movement, but it is in the single market.
Early findings show that of 74,405 Covid-19 cases admitted to hospitals between September and March, just 32 had received a vaccine at least three weeks before.
A report in the Telegraph claimed there was only one vaccinated case per 2,300 patients. That’s highly misleading.
These figures are correct, but comparing them is misleading, as vaccinations didn’t start until December, so this doesn’t show how effective the vaccine is at stopping hospitalisations.
New gender pay gap figures reveal 8 out of 10 firms pay men more.
78% of 10,000 UK employers, most with over 250 staff, have a gender pay gap. The median hourly wage gap for these employers is around 10%.
New rules mean all UK employers with 250+ employees have to report their gender pay gap. 10,000 employers responded, and 78% pay men more than women on average, based on median hourly earnings.
Half of all council tenants on Universal Credit are at least a month in arrears in their rent.
Half of council tenants in 105 councils are one month behind in rent, according to research by the Observer.
This refers to 105 councils who responded to freedom of information requests. We haven’t seen the data behind it and don’t know what the picture is in the rest of the UK.
The Pfizer vaccine is 99% graphene oxide.
The MHRA has said these claims are ‘completely incorrect’, and the study that has been used to back up the claims has a number of inaccuracies and flaws.
False. The MHRA has told Full Fact that this is ‘completely incorrect’.
Nurses are spending entire shifts in A&E car parks because of ambulance delays.
One in six ambulances were delayed for over half an hour after arriving at A&Es in England in the first week of 2018.
An unnamed nurse said this to ITV News, although we don’t know how widespread this is. One in six ambulances were delayed for over half an hour after arriving at A&Es in England in the first week of 2018.
Young people are in record levels of debt.
It’s not clear this is the case looking at the levels of debt of all young people, including those not at university.
We don’t have enough information to say if debt levels of all young people—including those who don’t go to university—are at record levels. The average debt of university graduates is the highest it has been.
Heathrow Airport is used primarily by people on expensive flights.
More people flying from Heathrow are on connecting flights or business trips than most other London airports. The majority are still leisure travellers and on non-connecting flights.
A survey found flyers from Heathrow say they have higher incomes than those flying from most other London airports, but we don’t know how much their flights cost.
The OECD says that fiscal sustainability in the UK has improved.
The UK economy grew at 0.3% in the last quarter, this is the slowest growth rate in the EU.
Nearly a quarter of respondents to a Royal College of Nursing survey said they had taken an additional job. We don’t know how representative this is of all nurses.
Media reports show that at least some individual nurses and trainees have visited food banks. We do not have solid evidence of the scale of use.
A photo of a lorry which fell into Bristol harbour, backside first, demonstrates why the government should not have taken reversing out of the HGV driving test.
A photo of a lorry stuck in Bristol harbour has been used to, wrongly, claim that HGV drivers won’t be tested on reversing.
The government hasn’t taken reversing out of the test. It was recently announced that a third party will carry out parts of the test, including reversing, for certain types of vehicles, instead of the DVSA. The photo of the lorry is from a genuine incident in Bristol.
Objects can be seized if it’s suspected they are infected or contaminated.
Changes in government energy policy since 2015 may have added £120 a year to household bills.
Uncertainty among investors might make it more expensive to finance energy projects in future.
The confidence of energy investors has been shaken, according to the Energy and Climate Change Committee. If so this could raise household bills in the long term. But the specific £120 figure isn’t particularly credible.
1,000 GP practices have closed since 2010.
There are around 1,000 fewer GP practices in England in 2017 than in 2010. Some practices may have merged together, rather than closing completely, but we don’t know how many have done so.
The Far East economy is “going gangbusters”.
The economies of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia grew by 5.6%, 5.3%, and 6.5% respectively in 2017. That’s significantly faster than the UK, USA, and EU.
The GDP of East Asia grew by 5.6% in real terms in 2017 and Southeast Asia grew by 5.3%, according to the IMF. It forecasts growth in East Asia to slow slightly in coming years.
There isn’t yet reliable evidence that this drug, or chloroquine, cures Covid-19 patients either.
There is some limited evidence that it can work for some patients. It is not licensed as a treatment for Covid-19 in the UK outside of clinical trials.
Up to 57,000 Commonwealth-born people who arrived in the UK before 1971 could lose their homes, jobs, benefits, NHS treatment, or be threatened with deportation.
Around 60,000 people from the Windrush generation living in the UK in 2017 report not being a UK citizen. This doesn’t tell us how many may have faced recent immigration problems though.
This is the number of Commonwealth-born people living in the UK in 2017 who arrived before 1971, and self-report as not being a UK citizen. They have the right to remain in the UK indefinitely but some have recently had problems proving their eligibility. We don’t know how many have had such problems, and some who are UK citizens could also be affected.
“Forcing” young women to have Covid-19 vaccines is “almost certain” to lead to increased stillbirths, miscarriages, disabled children and infertility.
The Reform UK leader’s claim is based on Yellow Card and VAERS data, which does not show proven adverse reactions to the vaccines.
There is no evidence for this. Yellow Card and VAERS reporting is cited as the source of this claim, but the data from these systems does not prove a link.
Napalm, not nuclear weapons, were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
There’s plenty of evidence that the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not napalm, as a Facebook post claims.
Evidence clearly shows the victims of those bombings suffered from injuries consistent with a nuclear attack, and not a napalm attack.
A three-page trade agreement under Article 24 would be “enough to avoid delays at borders”.
A new claim about GATT 24 runs into an old problem: the EU probably won’t agree to it, and it doesn’t explain that it would mean significant barriers to trade with the EU.
Iain Duncan Smith, David Campbell Bannerman, Martin Howe, Jon Moynihan, Rebecca Ryan
Incorrect. This agreement would mean the UK and EU having different regulatory standards, and therefore checks on goods at the border.
Government direct subsidy of the railways is around £5 billion per year, an increase of over 200% since privatisation.
The average rail ticket is 20% more expensive than it was in 1995, and government subsidies for the railways have also increased.
Correct. The five year average to 2017/18 was about three times more than the five years to 1991/92, before privatisation. Large projects like HS2 and Crossrail have affected this amount.
Scotland Yard has logged 22,025 motorcycle muggings in 12 months – a rise of 50 per cent.
Met Police figures show crimes on mopeds, scooters and motorcycles have risen since last year but are currently falling each month.
The Metropolitan Police have recorded 22,025 crimes enabled by scooters, mopeds and motorcycles from June 2017 to May 2018, 50% more than the same period in 2016/17, but this does mask a recent falling trend month-by-month.
The Covid-19 vaccine will cause infertility in younger men.
There is also no reason to believe the vaccine will impact male fertility as claimed. It may actually help protect it.
There is no reason to believe this. If anything, vaccination may help protect any effect on fertility caused by the virus itself.
People living in Labour councils pay on average £351 less council tax than those living in Tory councils.
We haven’t found a fair and accurate way to compare whether Labour or Conservative councils cost you more in council tax.
Technically correct for England in 2019/20, based on the average bill per eligible home, but this isn’t very meaningful. Many residents pay council tax to more than one body, so it’s difficult to attribute the cost of council tax to a single council or party.
An estimated 2m young people in their 20s and 30s can't find the money needed to move out of their parent's home.
In 2013 there were 2.4m people between the age of 20 and 34 who both lived at home and had a job. Their specific reasons for not having moved out are not known though.
Being on this pill is associated with depression.
A Facebook post on people’s experiences with this combined pill has gone viral. But what are the risks in taking it?
This brand’s advice leaflet says Rigevidon is associated with “mood swings including depression”. Guidance on whether the combined contraceptive pill can cause depression is unclear.
The UK has led the world by committing to “net zero” greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
The UK has made fast progress on tackling climate change by cutting carbon emissions, but is set to miss long-term targets.
The UK’s stated ambition to reduce emissions goes further than most other countries, and the UK is generally considered to be a world-leader in setting targets into law. A few other countries have set similar or more ambitious targets.
In 2017/18, thirteen current Lib Dem MPs claimed expenses worth between £103,709.34 and £210,245.50 each.
A Facebook post gets the expenses claims of Lib Dem MPs roughly right, but their collective claims are around average for all MPs overall.
The numbers are in the right ballpark, although some are out by a few thousand pounds. This includes MPs’ staffing costs. The average claim by Lib Dem MPs was roughly the same as the average claim for all MPs that year.
Raising starting salaries for teachers to £30,000 will put them among the most competitive in the graduate labour market.
A commitment to raise teacher salaries to £30,000 by 2022/23 would likely put new teachers in the top quarter of graduate earners in England.
This is fair. £30,000 would put graduate teachers among the top quarter of graduate earners in England.
No test is 100% accurate, and it’s hard to know the precise false positive rate for Covid-19 tests, but all the evidence suggests that the number is extremely low.
Covid-19 case numbers are highest in countries with high vaccination rates, showing that vaccines increase case numbers.
There are various reasons why Covid case rates may be higher in countries with higher vaccination rates. It isn’t evidence vaccines cause Covid.
Vaccines reduce the risk of getting Covid-19. This analysis is not proof of anything, though it is plausible that vaccination leads people to socialise more and so cases increase as a result.
This picture shows trucks carrying dead bodies of Covid-19 victims and the accompanying post implies it is in Italy.
A post on Facebook claimed to show military trucks carrying dead bodies in Italy. The image shows the French army on operations in Paris.
This picture was taken in Paris and the trucks are not carrying dead bodies. However, Italy has had to use military trucks to move bodies during the crisis.
Only 6 per cent of UK firms export to the EU, yet all have to abide by EU regulations on their business
There are no official figures of how many UK businesses export to the EU. This estimate is justifiable and we do know that around 5% of VAT-registered businesses exported to their EU peers in 2014/15.
The mayor of Calgary said that Covid-19 was a hoax.
This comes from what seems to be a fake transcript of a court hearing that never happened.
No, he didn’t. This seems to come from a fake transcript of a nonexistent court hearing. The mayor of Calgary says it never happened.
As of 3 November, the UK’s coronavirus epidemic was escalating by the day.
In recent days, CNN and Sky News have claimed the epidemic is growing, despite falling daily case numbers.
At this point, new infections were falling, but the total number of people with Covid-19 may still have been increasing.
The rules of lockdown have changed. Households can no longer mix inside a residential property or garden. That means families should not visit another family at their home.
As of 31 July, the lockdown rules changed for people in Greater Manchester and parts of Lancashire and West Yorkshire.
This is correct for Greater Manchester and parts of Lancashire and West Yorkshire as of 31 July 2020.
Labour built 61,000 homes for social rent in Scotland.
The number of social homes started in Scotland each year has been slightly higher under the SNP than the Labour-Lib Dem coalition.
Incorrect. 37,000 new-build social homes were started under eight years of Labour-Lib Dem coalition government in Scotland.
The Supreme Court has ruled that the benefit cap is "right and fair".
Not correct. The Supreme Court ruled that the benefit cap is legal, not that it's right or fair. The judgment can't be taken as an endorsement of this policy.
There are 480,000 young people who are hidden from the unemployment figures.
The number of unemployed 16-24 year olds has fallen by 43% between 2010 and 2018.
Incorrect. This seems to come from a misunderstanding of a report looking at the number of young people who are out of work, and not claiming benefits or being supported by job centres. These young people still appear in the unemployment figures, although they will not appear in the claimant count figures of people claiming benefits.
Leaving the EU would or could cut net migration by 100,000
There’s no way to know whether net migration would fall by 100,000 if the UK leaves the EU.
Nobody knows. It’s an unofficial “ball park figure” for one possible exit scenario and the prediction depends on assumptions which might or might not come true.
Event 201 was run by the Johns Hopkins University in cahoots with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Footage of the singer making claims about the origin of the coronavirus pandemic is being widely shared on social media.
It was run by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
If you come to the UK illegally, you are an illegal migrant, and I’m afraid the law will treat you as such.
Refugees can’t be penalised for entering illegally if they are claiming asylum and coming from a place where their life or freedom are threatened.
Not in all cases. Specifically, refugees seeking asylum in the UK can’t be penalised for entering illegally if they are claiming asylum and coming from a place where their life or freedom are threatened. They may also stop over in other “safe” countries en route to the UK.
Prisoners who have a TV in their cell are exempt from the TV licence fee, but pay a weekly rental charge.
This is partially correct. Free TV licences for all over 75s were due to end from June 2020 and this will be replaced by a scheme where only those over 75 who receive Pension Credit (or whose partner lives with them and receives Pension Credit) will not have to pay. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the BBC has said this scheme will now begin from 1 August.
One in eight refugees who claimed to be children arriving in the UK were in fact adults.
Two thirds of assessed child asylum seekers, but a small proportion of all child asylum seekers, are found to be over 18.
This is correct for unaccompanied child refugees, but is an overestimate of the proportion of all child refugees found to be adults.
People with no recourse to public funds are not yet able to claim free school meal vouchers.
A question at PMQs by Labour MP Stephen Timms suggested this wasn’t the case. Free school meal eligibility has been temporarily extended to some of these children.
The government has extended free school meal eligibility in England to some but not all people with no recourse to public funds, temporarily, during the pandemic.
Covid-19 patients have been misdiagnosed as having pneumonia when they actually have a blood clotting condition called disseminated intravascular coagulation.
It is incorrect to say that Covid-19 patients have been misdiagnosed with pneumonia when they have disseminated intravascular coagulation. Severe Covid-19 can cause pneumonia as well as blood clotting problems.
After leaving the EU, the UK will be able to abolish VAT on energy bills.
Vote Leave have claimed that leaving the EU would free up 'billions' to spend on public services and reduce taxation, even after EU funding has been replaced.
EU rules mean we cannot reduce VAT on household energy any lower than the 5% that’s currently charged. If the UK left, it would be possible to reduce VAT on household fuel below this rate.
Wearing masks causes dementia, hypoxia and hypercapnia, bacterial pneumonia, and will “make children stupid”.
There is no evidence for any of these claims. Tight-fitting masks can cause harm in rare instances but this is not the case for typical cloth masks.
Employers cannot penalise workers who are following the law by quarantining after returning to the UK from abroad.
Dominic Raab wrongly claimed people cannot be ‘penalised’ by employers if they have to quarantine after being abroad.
This is not correct. Employers can take action against employees, if they choose, including deducting pay.
MPs were forced out of hospital and their sick beds to vote in Commons.
Sick and pregnant MPs had to physically vote on the Brexit bill in person last week, we’ve looked at what the rules on this are.
A convention allowing unwell or pregnant MPs who are on parliamentary grounds to vote without entering the division lobby wasn’t applied to a vote on the Brexit bill last week. This meant one sick MP, and two heavily pregnant MPs who wanted to vote were obliged to physically enter the lobby.
Cleveland Clinic developed a Covid-19 test that gives results in hours, not days.
This is incorrect. The clinic announced that it is able to speed up Covid-19 testing after developing the ability to test on-site, but it had not developed a new test.
An extension to the date of Brexit would cost £1 billion a month.
You can say your plan is to leave with a deal, or you can say an extension will cost £1 billion a month, but you can't say both.
Wrong. An extension of a few months would cost no more than leaving with a deal in October 2019, which is still the government’s publicly stated policy.
11 million people are financially at risk from the cladding crisis.
The real number of people who might be financially affected by new fire regulations may be about a tenth of Labour’s claim.
This estimate is much too high. The true number of residents affected is probably more like 760,000. Landlords of another 600,000 properties will also be affected. The total will be much less than 11 million, which seems to be more than all the people living in flats in the UK.
The deaths of 181 NHS workers have involved Covid-19.
Figures on the number of NHS workers who have died from the new coronavirus are incomplete.
This figure is correct for England only.
A High Court judgment legalised abortion in Northern Ireland in some circumstances.
The High Court has ruled that Northern Ireland's law on abortion is a breach of human rights, but has no power to directly overrule it.
Not correct. The judge said that the current restrictions are a breach of women's human rights, but has deferred the decision on what exactly to do about it.
The UK has made huge progress in cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
The UK has exceeded its own targets in cutting emissions compared to 1990 levels, and has made bigger cuts than other G7 countries. But this isn’t expected to be enough to meet future targets.
The gender pay gap is lower than it's ever been before.
BBC Question time saw claims on the pay gap, women's employment and a £23 billion boost to GDP from women reaching their potential. We look at the figures.
This is true. The pay gap is at a record low for full-time employees and for employees overall.
An extra £1 billion will be invested on mental health spending by 2021.
Despite the announcement we still don’t know how spending on mental health services will fare over the next five years.
NHS England says it has committed to spending this much extra on mental health services in 2020/21 from its existing budget, over and above what is spent at the moment. If this is the whole rise in mental health spending in England over the next five years, then the spending will rise more slowly than on other parts of the NHS. If it isn’t, then we’re no closer to knowing how much will be spent on mental health.
A fully qualified nurse’s starting salary has not increased since 2010 when it was £22,000.
Several claims have been made about pay changes for police, teachers, nurses and MPs. We took a look at them.
These figures don’t take account of inflation. In 2018 prices, it was £25,000 a year in 2010, and in 2018 it’s £23,000.
New data shows zero increase in suicide figures since lockdown.
Early figures from a few areas of England on suicides since the pandemic began may not represent the whole country.
The data, which covers an area of around 9 million people shows, on average, 84 suicides a month before lockdown (in January, February and March), and 85.4 a month in June, July and August. The researchers say this appears to show no rise in suicide "post-lockdown".
The number of unlawfully large infant classes has fallen.
What impact are increasing pupil numbers having on infant class sizes? Taking into account both lawfully and unlawfully large classes, there are growing numbers with 31 or more pupils.
This is accurate, but taking into account large infant classes counted as lawful (because of the circumstances in which extra pupils were admitted) the number that are large is growing.
Universal Credit is working because over 3.3 million more people are in work since 2010.
There are over 3 million more people in employment since 2010, but employment tends to rise over time. There is no clear evidence on how many people Universal Credit has got into work.
This is a misleading link to draw. There are 3.3 million more people in work since 2010, but there is no clear evidence on how many people Universal Credit has got into work.
They’re removing the reversing element from HGV tests to make them easier to pass.
This is a misinterpretation of a government plan to let approved third parties assess the reversing portion of the test.
The reversing part of certain medium and large vehicle tests will be assessed by an authorised third party instead of a DVSA examiner.
The new UK-Japan trade deal will deliver a £1.5 billion boost to the UK economy.
We don’t know how much better the UK-Japan trade deal is compared to the EU-Japan deal, but it isn’t expected to be worse.
This is the estimate of annual GDP growth after 15 years, relative to 2018, before the existing EU-Japan trade deal took effect.
Following the economic crash private sector wages were hit more quickly, harder and for longer than the public sector.
Private sector wages dropped much more rapidly than public sector wages during the recession. They began recovering as public sector wages slowed. In recent years the gap between the two has narrowed.
That’s correct. Private sector wages dropped much more rapidly than public sector wages during the recession. They then began recovering as public sector wages slowed. In recent years the gap between the two has narrowed again.
If you are in the UK and under coronavirus lockdown with an abusive partner dial 999, wait to be connected, press 55 & hang up.
If you can’t talk but need the police, you can dial 55 when prompted on a 999 call from a mobile.
You will only be prompted to press 55 on a silent call from a mobile. And you should not hang up after typing 55. You should try and cough, tap the handset or whisper to communicate on an emergency call if possible.
The NAO found there was never a national shortage of PPE.
Health secretary Matt Hancock made this claim during an interview with the Today programme.
The NAO did not find this. It wrote that while trusts told it that they were able to get what they needed in the spring of 2020, healthcare workers reported widespread shortages.
Event 201 was a complete rehearsal of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Event 201 was a real exercise to simulate how those in government, business and public health might respond to a global pandemic. It was not based on Covid-19 and does not mean the organisers had prior knowledge of the pandemic.
EU Membership costs 34p per person per day.
A viral post about the “costs” of Brexit misrepresents a number of economic analyses.
Roughly correct, based on the UK’s net payment into the EU budget in 2018.
The BBC published a travel piece saying that there will be microchips in the upcoming vaccines funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation so they can track who has been vaccinated for coronavirus.
The article in question is a speculative article on the future of travel and does not mention microchips.
This is incorrect. The BBC article is a speculative piece on the future of travel following the Covid-19 pandemic. There is no mention of microchips being used in vaccines.
Antibodies from a previous Covid-19 infection are probably equivalent to someone who has been vaccinated.
A doctor who challenged Sajid Javid on live TV misleadingly suggested Covid-19 vaccines are less effective than the evidence suggests.
Although natural immunity acquired through Covid-19 infection does protect against subsequent infection, evidence shows that also being vaccinated can increase this protection dramatically. Vaccines also lower the risk of serious illness caused by an infection.
Germany sells about 14% of all the passenger cars it makes domestically to the UK, a little over one in seven. (That makes up about 18% of the passenger cars it exports, a little under one in five).
That’s wrong. About one in seven cars made in Germany are sold in Britain. It is true that more German cars are exported to the UK than anywhere else.
According to Dr. Bill Osmunson, the amount of fluoride in an 8-ounce glass of fluoridated tap water is equivalent to the “pea-sized” amount needed to call the Poison Control Center, as recommended on the back of any fluoridated toothpaste.
In the UK, you would need to brush your teeth four to six times a day with a ‘pea-sized amount’ of toothpaste, and swallow that toothpaste, to consume the same amount of fluoride as found in a litre of tap water with the maximum levels of fluoride allowed.
This text message shows the government is monitoring people leaving the house during coronavirus lockdown.
While people have received a genuine text from the government about the new coronavirus lockdown rules, one about monitoring their movement is fake.
This is not an official government text.
A video shows a robbery at knife point in London.
The video is from CCTV footage of a robbery in Bloemfontein, South Africa.
The video is actually from South Africa.
Emmanuel Macron said the UK must take its share of migrants, 300,000 now immediately and up to 100,000 every year until the situation is resolved if it wants to remain in the EU.
A Facebook post has fabricated a quote from Emmanuel Macron about the conditions for the UK if it wants to remain in the EU.
5G wrecks immune systems and that is why people in Wuhan are suffering with this illness.
Lots of cities in China have 5G coverage, not just the city at the centre of the new coronavirus outbreak.
There is no evidence that 5G can harm humans, or their immune systems.
Scientists believe that coronavirus may have come from bats in a Chinese research facility.
A new article written by Chinese scientists does not prove that the 2019 coronavirus outbreak came from bats in a government laboratory.
Two Chinese scientists have published an article suggesting that the 2019 coronavirus outbreak could have originated from bats in a laboratory in Wuhan. However, apart from maps showing the proximity of laboratories, they offer no evidence to prove this.
Almost 5.5 million British people live permanently abroad.
The image makes claims about the number of foreign-born NHS doctors, Brits living abroad and whether immigrants are more likely to claim benefits.
This is based on an out-of-date estimate. A more recent estimate puts the number at just under five million.
1,295 people died as a result of the Covid-19 vaccine.
A viral video contains a list of debunked theories about the vaccine and disease.
That’s how many people reportedly died shortly after vaccination up to 2 June, not necessarily because of the vaccine. Because so many people are being vaccinated, we would expect some of them to die afterwards, by chance.
No deal is consistently the preferred option of the British public.
Some polls indicate no deal is the most preferred Brexit outcome but others don’t. The results are heavily influenced by methodology.
This is misleading to suggest. While some polls have found this, others have found more support for remaining in the EU. It all depends on how the question is asked and the options respondents are presented with.
Any woman who needs to travel to find refuge from domestic violence can do so for free on any UK train at the moment. The cost of the ticket will be covered by the relevant rail operator.
A social media post shared tens of thousands of times makes claims about the Rail to refuge Scheme.
Women with a confirmed place at a Women’s Aid member refuge can have a free train ticket to that refuge accommodation. This scheme operates in England, Wales and Scotland. The cost is either covered by the Rail Delivery Group or the train network, depending on where the journey is. A man with a confirmed place in a Women’s Aid partner refuge could also use the scheme.
In October, Test and Trace was reducing R by between 0.3 and 0.6.
Estimates for the effect of the programme on reducing Covid cases include some things that would have happened anyway.
We don’t know this for sure. A small part of the reduction certainly came from Test and Trace. Some of the rest came from people with symptoms self-isolating anyway.
Homeless deaths soar by 24% as 597 people die in a single year.
An estimated 597 homeless people died in England and Wales in 2017, up 24% since 2013.
Correct according to new estimates for England and Wales. The Office for National Statistics says this is a conservative estimate and the real number may still be higher.
Data from the US military shows a sharp rise in the incidence of various diseases in 2021.
The data has been cited by some to suggest Covid-19 vaccines are behind what are unrealistically large rises in the incidence of various diseases in the US military.
The data supporting this claim is flawed, and has been withdrawn by officials.
A video circulating on WhatsApp called “India is doing it” can hack your phone in ten seconds if opened or seen.
The video and the hack mentioned in the message are not real.
This message is a hoax. Messages with similar wording about Argentina have also been debunked by fact checkers.
This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun.
Children are more likely to produce more harmful spike proteins after they’ve been vaccinated.
A report has criticised aspects of BBC childrens’ show Newsround’s coverage on Covid-19 vaccines but misleads in the process.
The theory that spike proteins produced by Covid-19 vaccines are harmful is unevidenced.
A Facebook post defending the government’s role in current NHS equipment shortages was written by Jennifer Saunders.
A Facebook post about NHS PPE shortages has been falsely attributed to Jennifer Saunders.
No, this post was not written by Jennifer Saunders.
When the five new countries in the process of joining the EU join, they will have the same rights as other members.
They would end up with the same rights. There might be some restrictions on workers from new countries at first.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered Russia’s population to stay at home for 15 days or face five years in jail.
Russia currently has no nationwide restrictions of this kind.
People in Russia arriving from high-risk areas must quarantine themselves for 14 days, and could face jail if they do not, but the general population has not yet been ordered to stay at home.
Covid-19’s infection fatality rate is 0.1%
Toby Young missed that a study he was citing had already calculated an IFR for Covid.
This is incorrect. Most research places the virus’s infection fatality rate between 0.5% and 1%.
Theresa May hasn’t really increased the housing supply.
The number of houses being built has increased over the last decade, but it’s not keeping up with demand.
The number of houses being built has increased over the last decade, although it is difficult to attribute this to any one government. Overall house building isn’t keeping up with demand.
The government claims it has capacity for 300,000 Covid-19 tests a day.
The numbers she used in PMQs measure different things, and cannot be compared.
The official Coronavirus Dashboard has shown roughly this capacity figure for all tests in the UK (including antibody tests) in the past. It currently shows a daily diagnostic test capacity of around 240,000.
The WHO now says a child’s presence in school counts as “informed consent” for a vaccination and parental presence is not required.
In the UK you can’t be forced to have a vaccine.
The evidence for this claim was taken from a document written by the WHO which described types of vaccine consent around the world, including written, verbal and implied consent. In the UK, sending your child to school doesn’t automatically imply you’ve consented for them to get a vaccine.
Antivirals should be used to fight Covid-19.
Antiviral drugs can be used to treat viral infections, but no specific antiviral drug has been conclusively shown to be effective against Covid-19 so far.
Theresa May negotiated the UK out of 100 EU justice and home affairs laws.
What was Theresa May’s involvement in negotiating the UK out of EU justice and home affairs laws?
This is about right; David Cameron notified the EU of the decision to opt out of the laws, and Theresa May was involved in negotiations to opt back into 35 of them. But the right to opt out of the laws in the first place was negotiated by a previous government.
The coronavirus vaccine will be mandatory.
A post claims that an app containing a QR code will be used to stop people entering shops or businesses if they haven’t had the vaccine.
There is no suggestion the coronavirus vaccine will be mandatory. No vaccines are mandatory in the UK.
A recent Daily Mail headline bears an uncanny resemblance to the front page of a Nazi newspaper from 1933. Both papers branded particular judges as ‘Enemies of the People’.
A recent meme compared a Daily Mail headline in 2016 with a Nazi newspaper published in 1933.
The German headline reads "traitors of the people". The men depicted in the 1933 newspaper weren’t judges, and the translation in the caption is wrong. They were people who had their citizenship revoked by the Nazi regime.
Once the UK leaves the single market, freedom of movement no longer applies.
Correct. Freedom of movement is one of the rules of the single market.
Since the Conservatives came into government in 2010, they have delivered more affordable homes than Labour did in its last seven years in office.
346,000 affordable homes were added in the seven years of coalition and Conservative government to 2016/17. That’s slightly more than the last seven years of Labour.
Correct. 346,000 more affordable homes were added in the seven years to 2016/17, compared to 333,000 in the seven years before that. Since 2011/12, the kinds of affordable homes being built have been typically more expensive “affordable rented” homes.
The government will only open up extra housing for homeless people if the temperature is zero degrees for three days.
Councils in England can take emergency measures to help rough sleepers during extreme weather.
A scheme like this exists in England where councils can choose to take emergency measures when the temperature is forecast to be at or below zero degrees Celsius for three days in a row.
Support for Welsh independence is up to 30%.
On the Andrew Marr show, Mr Marr said support for Welsh independence was never more than 10% while Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price said it was at up to 30%.
A recent poll put support for Welsh independence at 24%.
A three month extension to Brexit will cost £1 billion a month.
A three month extension costs the same amount in EU budget payments as Boris Johnson’s own deal.
No it won’t. The UK would still pay that amount if it left in October under Boris Johnson’s deal.
Correct. It was 109,000 in September 2017, an increase of 11,900 since the same month in 2010.
About 92% of our land mass is not built on.
Estimates range between 88% and 99.9%. It also depends on if we include gardens and “green urban” areas.
It's estimated that between 88% and 99.9% of the UK isn’t ‘developed’ or built on. But that doesn’t mean all of the remainder is available for development.
We’ve got 39 billion that we’re going to send to the EU.
We can’t know for sure, but £15 billion a year seems a reasonable estimate for now.
That’s the estimated size of our “divorce bill” which settles outstanding budget contributions, and other financial commitments and liabilities we have towards EU, up to the end of 2020.
After nine years of a Conservative government, food bank use is up 1,000%.
It incorrectly claims that child poverty is up 50%, crime is up 30%, and public sector pay is down 15%.
The increase is over 1000%, looking at the number of three-day food packages handed out by the Trussell Trust, which runs a network of food banks in the UK. This does not cover all food banks in the UK though. The period covers coalition and Conservative governments.
20 hospitals declared a ‘black alert’ on 11 January.
Media reports say that 23 hospital trusts in England have reached the highest level on the NHS’s system for saying whether they are under pressure, or are otherwise under serious strain.
That's according to media reports, which say that 23 hospital trusts in England have reached the highest level on the NHS’s system for saying whether they are under pressure, or are otherwise under serious strain. The Department of Health doesn't use the term 'black alert'.
People are abandoning pets due to fears of Covid-19 transmission.
The company said in a press release that they are worried the current economic climate would lead to more abandoned pets.
The RSPCA says that lockdown saw lower numbers of abandoned pets, but that they fear the economic effects of the pandemic will lead to a rise.
The UK has close to the lowest cost healthcare in the world.
Recent OECD figures show that the UK spends more than the average for the 35-member club, but less than many individual members.
Assuming this refers to spending on healthcare as a percentage of GDP, the UK spends more than the average of the 35 OECD countries, but less than most of the G7 countries. These kinds of comparisons will differ depending on what you classify as ‘healthcare’.
69% of the public support onshore wind, which is the most popular renewable energy technology.
70% of respondents to a survey said they'd be happy to have a wind farm built in their local area. Some other forms of renewable energy are more popular.
This is based on a survey where 70% of respondents stated they'd be happy to have a wind farm built in their local area. However, a DECC survey showed 65% of respondents supported onshore wind, which was less popular than solar power, wave and tidal power and offshore wind.
A video shows the president and first lady of Ukraine singing a cover of Endless Love.
Facebook posts shared thousands of times claim to show Volodymyr Zelenskyy singing a duet.
The people in the video are not Volodymyr Zelenskyy or Olena Zelenska.
An estimated 1 million people marched for a People’s Vote on Saturday 23rd March.
Experts in crowd estimation put the number at between 312,000 and 400,000.
It’s impossible to say with precision how many people attended the march. However experts in crowd estimation put the number at between 312,000 and 400,000.
A video shows Storm Eunice had arrived early in Portsmouth.
A video purporting to show Storm Eunice arriving early actually shows a tragedy in Poland that happened on Thursday.
The video was taken in Poland during a different storm.
Correct, today’s 90 year-olds would have remembered panzers though are unlikely to have seen them in combat.
Standing next to a mobile phone antenna or staying too long in its vicinity is a radiation risk.
The most powerful antennas have exclusion zones around them, but the mast in this viral post isn’t one of them.
Not true. Masts like the one in the image are safe to stand near.
MPs can claim housing, travel, food, computing and telephone calls on expenses in certain circumstances, as well as other things.
MPs can claim for rent or hotel accommodation as well as expenses for a second home if they are not already receiving rent free London accommodation through any ministerial post, and provided that their constituency is outside London.
The Australian government has removed documents describing the vaccines as a poison from their site as part of a cover-up.
Medicines are generally referred to as poisons in Western Australian legislation.
This is untrue. At the time of writing the documents referred to in the video were available in full on the government of Western Australia’s website.
Department for Education research shows missing school for even a day can impact pupil attainment.
Department for Education research shows a link between missing school and lower pupil attainment, but this isn’t the case for all types of absence.
This research finds as pupil absence rates increase, they do worse in tests at ages 10/11 and 15/16. Missing a single day doesn’t always show this for some pupils though, if the absence is an authorised holiday. Either way, the findings can’t prove that missing school is the cause of worse performance, or at least that if it is a cause, it's the main one. The evidence is more mixed looking specifically at holidays as a reason for absence.
The £300m Track and Trace app has quietly been binned.
The app hasn’t been binned, although the government did change direction with their original app to instead use the Google/Apple system.
A Covid-19 track and trace app is on trial in Great Britain. The government trialled an app of its own design before changing track and using a Google/Apple designed system. The app had cost around £10.8m as of June.
There is no tsunami, no cliff edge and no explosion in suicide figures.
We cannot be sure about that from these early figures, as they only cover approximately one sixth of England.
Fewer than 300 children have been hospitalised with Covid-19 in England since the pandemic began and all but around 20 had underlying health issues.
Severe disease and death are very rare, but still more common than the Mail claimed.
Incorrect. These appear to be the figures for intensive care admissions, not hospital admissions. They also do not include admissions with PIMS-TS. In total, there were 7,050 hospital admissions of children under 18 up to the end of February 2021, 3,181 involving children without underlying health conditions.
School standards in Scotland are falling.
The standard of schools in Scotland, as measured by recent pupil tests and exam results, seems to be slightly in decline.
Correct according to various sets of pupil tests, although international tests suggest that standards are improving in some subjects.
The number of people unhappy with the NHS is at the highest level for 30 years.
There's been some confusion in media reports of health charity The King's Fund's analysis of survey data about public satisfaction with the NHS.
The rise in dissatisfaction with the NHS over the past year is the largest annual increase in 30 years. The level of dissatisfaction is now roughly where it was between 2011 and 2013. It has previously been much higher.
Many NHS staff will actually get a 1.7% increase to their wages.
The 0.7% funding is on top of the proposed 1% NHS pay increase, but it will only benefit a minority of staff.
Incorrect. The government has proposed increasing NHS salaries by 1%. Additionally it will spend 0.7% more on increasing the salaries of around 10% of staff significantly while the majority of staff will not benefit from this funding.
The percentage of judges that are female hasn't changed much in the past year.
Figures show that an increasing percentage of judges are female. The same goes for ethnic minorities, although the statistics don't make this clear.
Overall, there has been an increase from 25% in 2015 to 28% in 2016. But it's correct that there hasn't been any change in female representation among the most senior judges in the past year.
A video of military planes flying overhead is footage from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The military parade rehearsal took place in May 2020 near Moscow, as revealed by Spanish fact checkers.
False. It shows footage of a military parade rehearsal from May 2020.
A BBC News report showed an actor pretending to be ill with Covid-19.
He was genuinely ill at the time of the interview, and later added the words “crisis actor” to his Instagram profile as a joke.
This is not true. The man was a genuine Covid-19 patient, who subsequently added the phrase “crisis actor” to his Instagram profile as a joke.
Surprisingly few people have died of flu or pneumonia in 2020 so far.
Although there are fewer of these deaths than usual, the fall is neither unexpected, nor extreme
2020’s flu and pneumonia death figures are low, but this post makes the fall seem much more extreme than it is, by comparing this year with the worst on record.
819 people were turned away across eight council areas during voter ID trials.
Across all ten trial areas in 2019, 1,968 people were turned away for not having the correct ID. Of those people, 740 did not return to vote.
The pub chain JD Wetherspoon has recently distributed beer mats in its pubs making a number of claims about the EU.
Correct, looking at the world’s population. About 78% of the world’s economic output is estimated to be outside of the EU.
US food standards allow for rat hairs in paprika.
It’s hard to tell whether someone in the US or UK is more likely to get a foodborne disease.
US food standards set limits above zero for rat hair in paprika, beyond which enforcement action is mandatory.
The booster vaccines have 81 strands of foreign bacteria or eight strands of HIV in them.
A video on Instagram includes many false claims about Covid-19 vaccines including that they contain HIV.
The MHRA told Full Fact: “There is no bacteria or strands of HIV in the booster vaccines.”
74,000 children are living with ‘long Covid’.
The prevalence of long Covid in children is not yet fully known, and we need caution when we discuss the figures.
The ONS figures that these estimates are based on are ‘experimental statistics’ which have measured prevalence of some long Covid symptoms in children at five weeks after infection. They shouldn’t be used as an absolute measure from which to extrapolate population levels of long Covid in children.
Covid-19 is a deliberate hoax designed to promote the climate change agenda.
Conspiracy theorist David Icke has made unsubstantiated claims about Covid-19 transmission , climate change and gene therapy.
This is a misinterpretation of a book written in 2020 by the executive chairman of the World Economic Forum.
There are a record 6,000 more doctors and a record 12,000 more nurses than a year ago
Rises in the number of full-time doctors and nurses in the NHS do not include staff members who returned to help during the coronavirus pandemic.
This is correct, according to workforce statistics published by NHS Digital for March 2020. It does not include returners or trainees who joined the workforce during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In 2016, 18,477 cyclists were injured in road accidents, including 3,499 who were killed or seriously injured.
Cyclists made up 6% of deaths and 14% of serious injuries on British roads in 2016. Around 1% of pedestrian deaths were caused by cyclists.
Correct for Britain. The 18,477 figure includes deaths, of which there were 102.
There are 6,000 fewer nurses and 400 fewer doctors working in mental health under this government.
There are fewer nurses and doctors specialising in mental health now than in 2010.
There were 6,100 fewer nurses in 2015 compared to 2010 in England, using a broad definition of mental health nurses that includes learning disability nurses. Looking only at mental health nurses there were 4,600 fewer over the same time. There were 170 fewer fully trained doctors specialising in psychiatry and psychotherapy in 2016 compared to 2010.
Mask-wearing cuts Covid incidence by 53%, says global study.
The Guardian and others claim mask-wearing cuts the risk of Covid by 53%.
This isn’t what the study says. The study says that mask-wearing was “associated with” a reduction in risk, but that, due to the limitations of the research, “it was difficult for our review to draw a one directional or causal conclusion.”
One in five people lives in absolute poverty. Over 14 million people are living in absolute poverty.
An estimated one in five people in the UK lives in absolute or relative poverty, after housing costs are taken into account.
Around 13 million people are living in absolute poverty in the UK, after housing costs are taken into account—that’s one in five. 14 million people are living in relative poverty, after housing costs.
The prosecution service introduced laws making it illegal to use "hoverboards" on public paths.
It's been claimed that the prosecution service recently made "hoverboards" illegal. But it has no such power; newspapers have just picked up on an existing law.
This is illegal, but not because prosecutors say so. The law making it illegal to ride on the path dates from 1835, and judges confirmed in 2011 that it applies to devices like hoverboards.
Boris Johnson wrote in 2013 that the EU is “better placed to strike trade deals with the US, or China, than the UK on its own. More generally, there is a risk that leaving the EU will be globally interpreted as a narrow, xenophobic, backward-looking thing to do.”
Two sentences from an article written by Mr Johnson in a 2013 article arguing for and against Brexit have been edited together.
These words are taken from a 2013 Telegraph article by Mr Johnson, but have been edited and taken out of context. He says these arguments are “untested” and also makes points in favour of leaving the EU.
This photograph shows the smallest bird in the world.
The smallest bird in the world is the bee hummingbird, which is roughly twice as big as the model in the photo.
Incorrect. This is a photograph of a miniature artwork, not a real bird. It is a sculpture of a robin.
Options for post-Brexit trade deals with the EU will lead to between 700,000 and 2,800,000 fewer jobs.
The government modelled the impact of different post-Brexit trade deals on the economy. They expect slower growth under each model, but the exact details remain unclear.
There is no evidence for this in the report cited by the claimant, nor elsewhere.
Nearly 5 billion plastic straws are currently used in the UK each year.
In recent years estimates for the number of plastic straws used in the UK or in England alone have ranged from around 4 billion to 40 billion. All of these figures carry a high degree of uncertainty.
The latest government estimate for the number used in England alone is around 4.7 billion. The estimate itself is very uncertain.
If you think you’re having a heart attack, coughing repeatedly and vigorously could help you.
If you think you’re having a heart attack you should dial 999.
This should not be attempted. If you think you or someone else is having a heart attack you should call 999 immediately.
HS2 will only take a few minutes off the current journey time.
Current government figures suggest that anything from 13 to 102 minutes could be taken off journey times from the north to London and Birmingham. This is comparing the current fastest times to the fastest times once HS2 is fully running in 2033.
The EU did not help Britain during the Falklands War, and instead sent weapons to Argentina.
During the Falklands War, the European Community banned all weapons sales to, and imports from, Argentina.
This is not true. The EC (the predecessor of the EU) applied an arms embargo and an import ban on Argentina.
Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes.
We don’t know how long the virus can last on the skin, especially not down to the minute. But you should regularly wash your hands.
These images were taken at a ‘Cobra’ meeting.
Ministers attending a Cabinet meeting appear to be adhering to workplace Covid guidance.
This is incorrect. They appear to have been taken at a cabinet meeting.
Gatherings of more than 30 people are illegal under the current Covid-19 guidelines.
Under current Covid-19 regulations, more than 30 people can protest in England if it has been organised by an accepted body and risk assessments have taken place.
There are some exceptions, including for protests which have been organised by a suitable body and undergone risk assessments.
55% of people in poverty are in working households.
People in poverty have been increasingly likely to be in a family where someone has a job.
55% of working age people in poverty were in a working family, according to estimates from 2015/16.
Since Brexit, Britain has been able to strike new free trade deals with 70 countries worth over £760 billion.
The Express claimed that post-Brexit, the UK has struck new free trade deals with 70 countries worth over £760bn. This is the total value of trade with these countries, not the value of trade deals.
£760 billion is the total value of bilateral trade with these countries, not the additional value of the trade deals. Many of these deals were rolled over from when the UK was a member of the EU.
The SNP has delivered 52,600 homes for social rent.
This is how many were completed between 2007/08 and 2017/18. This figure isn’t complete, as it doesn’t include homes for social rent that weren’t partially funded by the government.
Cafes, bars, restaurants and shops are closed.
Cafes and restaurants can still provide takeaway services, and some shops remain open. Bars are closed.
Iceland’s CEO is offering anyone who shares or comments on a Facebook post a box of essential goods worth £40.
A Facebook post promising essential goods worth £40 for free is not affiliated with Iceland.
This is false. Iceland has said the post has nothing to do with them.
Three tablespoons of organic coconut oil morning and night will cause cancer to disappear.
We’ve seen no scientific evidence to show these alternative therapies can cure cancer.
We’ve seen no evidence that coconut oil has any cancer curing properties.
Every week in prisons there are 600 incidents of self-harm, at least one suicide, and 350 assaults, including 90 on staff.
We check the Prime Minister's figures on self-inflicted deaths and injuries in prison.
Correct, although suicides aren't measured precisely. 2015 was the worst year on record for these incidents.
You are twice as likely to get into university if you are poor and English as if you are poor and Scottish.
In last week’s BBC Question Time Fraser Nelson claimed that there was a huge gap between the rich and the poor in Scottish education. We looked into it.
This is probably a reasonable claim, though the comparison is a bit tricky. It also doesn’t account for the substantial amount of higher education provided by further education colleges in Scotland.
You are not allowed to go for a walk or bike ride to get fresh air.
This is wrong. You can walk or cycle as part of your daily exercise.
Over the past 43 years, the EU has taken control over more and more areas which don’t have anything to do with trade—such as our borders, our public services, and whether prisoners have the right to vote.
The scope of the EU has expanded, partly due to treaties that the UK has signed up to. It covers aspects of borders and public services but not total control. It covers prisoners voting only when it comes to European elections.
On duty police officers participated in the London Pride parade.
The Metropolitan police in the parade were in full uniform with personal protection equipment and radios and so could have dealt with any incidents on the day.
Correct. The Metropolitan police taking part in the Pride parade were on duty.
A photo shows a diesel generator and says there are patio heaters going at full blast in the bar area, at an Extinction Rebellion protest.
The photo is taken from a generator’s marketing website.
Incorrect. This photo was taken at an American music festival.
The Covid-19 variants have planned release dates, as shown by a document from the WHO, John Hopkins University, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic forum.
Rather than saying that double vaccinated people are much less likely to get and carry coronavirus, which is true, he mistakenly said that they were more likely.
This document appears to be fake. There is no evidence that the Covid-19 variants are being planned.
21.2% of newborns in 2000 had at least one parent born abroad.
About 21% did, although we haven’t been able to find a source for this exact figure yet.
There were no new daily Covid-19 cases reported in several UK nations and regions on April 29.
No UK regions reported zero “new daily cases” of Covid-19 on the day before.
This is not true. Every nation and region listed on the map reported many Covid cases on that day.
There were 922,000 adverse reactions as a result of the Covid-19 vaccines and it’s now closer to a million.
These are reported reactions as of 2 June. We don’t know that they happened because of the vaccine, just that they happened shortly afterwards.
If you are in a car accident when you have your feet on the dashboard, you may send your knees through your eye sockets if the airbag is deployed.
There have been multiple cases of people suffering severe facial injuries from having their feet on a car dashboard during a crash.
Car accident victims who had their feet on the dashboard have suffered serious facial injuries.
In England, contact tracing costs £1700 per head.
Ruth Jones claimed the contact tracing system in England costs £1,700 per person. This was based on a calculation which was out by a factor of ten.
This is based on a calculation which overestimates the cost by a factor of 10. £12 billion has been allocated to testing and tracing by the UK government, but this is not just for England and so cannot be compared to the costs specific to Wales.
103 NHS walk-in centres have closed or been downgraded since 2010.
We don’t know exactly, as this information isn’t collected centrally. Research from an NHS regulator and from campaign group 38 Degrees suggests more than 90 have been closed or downgraded.
Fibres from face masks and test swabs are evidence of parasites.
Several videos on social media give false warnings about ‘Morgellons’ in face masks and Covid-19 test swabs.
This is not true. There is nothing sinister about these fibres.
A newly published document lists side effects from Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine.
It lists reported adverse events, which may not have been caused by the vaccine. It also concludes that its data raises no safety concerns.
This is not true. The document lists adverse events reported after vaccination, which may not have been caused by the vaccine. It also says these adverse events raise no safety concerns.
The Conservatives nearly doubled the debt from £950 billion to £1.8 trillion.
Broadly correct. Government debt currently stands at just below £1.8 trillion, which is 81% of GDP. In May 2010 when the Conservatives came to office, it was worth just over £1 trillion or 64% of GDP.
64 million people took advantage of the ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme.
A Facebook post makes misleading claims about the survival rates of people eating in restaurants without masks.
The Treasury said more than 100 million meals were served as part of the scheme. It’s likely many people took part more than once, meaning we can’t know the exact number of participants.
There is no VAT paid on Jaffa Cakes, razors, and pitta bread, unlike tampons.
MPs have called for an end to the "tampon tax", arguing they're essential items and so VAT shouldn't be paid on them. Are razors and Jaffa Cakes exempt too?
Jaffa Cakes and shop-bought pitta bread are zero-rated, but VAT on razor blades is at the standard 20% rate. VAT on tampons is at a reduced rate of 5%, the minimum it can be under current EU rules.
We should never do any testing of asymptomatic people. All we’re doing is generating false positives.
Claims that natural immunity is ‘complete’ and vaccines are ‘obsolete’ are completely false.
False. Testing people who don’t have symptoms uncovers many people who have asymptomatic and presymptomatic Covid-19. The false positive rate of Covid-19 tests is very low.
Funding for the NHS has increased significantly in recent years.
Correct, as it has done throughout almost its entire history.
The NHS had a deficit of over £800 million last year and is predicted to have a £2 billion deficit this year.
NHS trusts faced an overall deficit of £830 million in 2014/15 and this is expected to rise to around £2 billion this year.
This is correct for NHS providers. It stood at £830 million last year and it's expected to rise, with some forecasting £2 billion or more in 2015/16.
Japan has a larger and older population, and a higher population density, than the UK.
In the UK we get 5.6 weeks of paid holiday. The EU sets paid holiday at four weeks.
Most of the numbers in a viral post about UK and EU workers’ rights are correct, but could benefit from some more context.
A town with a voting population of less than 7,000 had 41,000 votes counted in a local election. This was then overturned by the High Court.
The error occurred due to block votes being counted for each individual rather than split between candidates.
This is true—a mistake in the local council elections led to this happening in Highworth, Wiltshire in May 2019.
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said he doesn’t need the vaccine because he’s healthy.
Chris Preddie OBE spreads falsehood about the Pfizer CEO refusing a Covid-19 vaccine.
This is a misquote from an interview from December. Albert Bourla said he didn’t want to take the vaccine ahead of more vulnerable recipients. He has since been double vaccinated.
Alcohol hand sanitiser can catch fire in a hot car.
Posts suggest that an image shows the aftermath of a fire started by a bottle of alcohol antibacterial hand gel left in a hot car.
At temperatures below several hundred degrees celsius, there would need to be a spark for alcoholic hand sanitisers to catch fire.
Almost half of young offenders are from black or ethnic minorities.
HM Inspectorate of Prisons found that 47% of people in young offender institutions said they were black, Asian or minority ethnic in 2015/16.
This is correct if you look at “young offenders” who end up with custodial sentences. 47% of young people responding to a survey of young offender institutions by HM Inspectorate of Prisons reported they were black, Asian or minority ethnic in 2015/16. Ministry of Justice figures paint a similar picture of all children in custody.
Cocaine use among young people is at its highest level for a decade
Cocaine use among 16-24 year olds is at a nine year high. 6% said they had taken cocaine in the last year, higher than other European countries.
Cocaine use is at a nine-year high among 16-24 year olds in England & Wales. 6% had taken cocaine in the past year.
For every three victims of domestic abuse, two will be female, one will be male.
The claim is based on the ONS’ crime survey of England and Wales and includes partner and family, partner and non-physical forms of abuse.
Of those aged 16-74 who told the Crime Survey for England and Wales that they had experienced some form of domestic abuse since they were 16, a third were male and two thirds were female.
People who share a Facebook post commenting “Love Cadbury” will receive a free chocolate hamper.
A fake Cadbury World Facebook account has been harvesting personal details under the guise of giving out free chocolate hampers
False. This post comes from a fake page, not from Cadbury itself.
The flu jab contains formaldehyde, which is a human carcinogen and has been known to cause infertility and hormone imbalance.
Traces of formaldehyde may be in some flu vaccines if it’s used in the manufacturing process. But there’s not enough for it to be carcinogenic or affect fertility—studies linking these things look at people who handle it regularly as part of their jobs.
Voters don’t support a version of Brexit that will cost jobs.
Voters have expressed mixed opinions to pollsters on whether they’d prefer a more economically risky ‘hard Brexit’.
There’s polling evidence going both ways.
Daily Covid deaths in the UK soared on 9 November 2021.
Reporting delays mean that the headline figure for Covid-19 deaths is always high on Tuesdays—and low on Sundays and Mondays.
This is missing key context. The number reported on that day was higher than the day before, but this happens almost every Tuesday, which usually includes the backlog from the weekend. The weekly average number of daily reported Covid-19 deaths actually fell on 9 November 2021.
The Pirbright Institute was responsible for foot and mouth.
A pipe connected to the Pirbright Insitute’s Surrey facility was found to be the likely source of a 2007 foot and mouth outbreak.
PCR tests insert nanoparticles into your brain and cause Morgellons disease.
The video on social media is wrong to suggest it is dangerous to be tested for Covid-19.
This is entirely false. There is no evidence PCR tests insert anything into your brain, and there is debate about whether Morgellons is a real disease.
The Department of Health and Social Care gave private firms a record £9.2 billion in 2018.
£9.2 billion was spent on purchasing health care from private providers in 2018/19—a record amount in cash terms, but not in real terms or as a proportion of the department’s budget.
The department spent £9.2 billion on purchasing health care from private providers in 2018/19. That’s a record amount of spending in cash terms, but not in real terms or as a proportion of the department’s budget.
BBC presenters removed their poppies during a broadcast.
BBC guidelines state poppies can be worn from 6am on 31 October.
This is correct. It happened as the poppies were mistakenly worn before the date set out in BBC guidelines.
The UK can test nearly 250,000 people a day for Covid-19.
Many people in media and politics are mistakenly comparing two different things.
This is probably not true, because it would rely on testing everybody just once, which does not happen in practice.
No healthy child has died from Covid-19 in the UK.
Incorrect. Six under 18s with no underlying health conditions died from Covid-19 in England before the end of February 2021.
76% think the Government are negotiating Brexit badly.
More adults in Great Britain, but not a majority, are dissatisfied than satisfied with the Chequers deal according to one survey.
That's of adults in Great Britain voting 'Leave' in the 2016 referendum, according to one survey. Among all adults in Great Britain, it's 75%.
There will be between 700,000 and 2,800,000 fewer jobs as a result of several different options for post-Brexit trade deals with the EU.
There have been 1,400 deaths and one million injured from Covid-19 vaccinations in the UK.
There’s no proof 1,400 people have died because of the vaccination.
These are deaths and potential side effects reported following the vaccine, not necessarily because of it.
The border between Israel and Egypt is commonly accepted as the transition from Africa to the Middle East.
Predictions of negative economic consequences immediately after a vote to leave the EU haven’t come to pass.
There hasn’t been an immediate hit to economic growth following the EU referendum.
That’s correct. Predicted lower growth and an emergency budget didn’t happen, although sterling has fallen significantly. Economists still expect there to be an impact on growth in the coming years, not least after we actually leave the EU.
58% think the Chequers deal disrespects the result of the referendum.
That's of adults in Great Britain voting 'Leave' in the 2016 referendum, according to one survey. Among all adults in Great Britain, it's 39%.
Trade deals agreed with 70 countries are collectively worth £766 billion, a major boost to Britain’s economy.
The Express suggested that post-Brexit trade deals will deliver a £766 billion boost. This figure refers to the total value of trade between the UK and countries it has agreed trade deals with.
This £766 billion figure refers to the total value of trade between the UK and countries it has agreed trade deals with—not the value that they add. Most of these deals were rolled over from when the UK was an EU member.
Introducing an ‘opt-out’ system of organ donation in England could allow as many as 700 more lives to be saved a year.
Organ transplants could soon be an ‘opt out’ system in England, but there’s limited evidence for how effective the change will be.
This is the government’s ambition but it’s based on very uncertain estimates, which in turn rely on a lot of assumptions. There is currently little evidence for how much changing the consent system actually improves transplant rates, if at all.
These include falsehoods that all people who die after a positive Covid test are registered as having died of Covid and that the Covid vaccines are experimental.
We have repeatedly shown that Covid-19 vaccines are not experimental; they have been through sufficient safety and efficacy trials.
The deficit in Scotland is three times that of the UK as a whole.
The Scottish deficit is more than three times that of the UK as a whole, as a proportion of GDP.
This is correct as a proportion of GDP, whether or not revenue from the North Sea is included. In monetary terms, the UK deficit is larger.
Government ministers broke their own Covid rules at a recent ‘Cobra’ meeting.
It can be hard to tell from photographs, but there’s no clear evidence ministers were not following current workplace guidance at the Cabinet meeting. Some rules that apply to social activity do not currently apply in workplaces.
Hydroxychloroquine is used to treat radiation sickness.
The medicines regulator in the UK says the drug is not used for this.
The number of diagnoses of cancer (in England) and diabetes (in the UK) is rising.
We don’t know of any figures that consistently measure the change in the number of people with mental health conditions over time. One in four people in England had a mental health condition at some point in the previous year, according to a 2007 study. Another study estimated one in six people had a common mental health condition in the past week in 2014.
Italian politician Maria Elena Boschi exposed her underwear during her swearing-in ceremony.
The original photo has been edited to show this.
Incorrect. The image which supposedly shows this is an edited version of a real photo.
Nigel Farage once flirted with the idea of there being a second EU referendum.
In January Nigel Farage said that he feared we may have to have a second EU referendum.
During interviews earlier this year Mr Farage said that he might be starting to think we should have a second referendum as he felt the proportion voting to leave would be larger than in 2016. He also said he feared we may have to have a second referendum if Parliament rejects the final deal with the EU.
There was a large rise in the number of Covid deaths on 2 February 2022.
The unusually high number came from a backlog in the death reporting system. The average number of daily Covid-19 deaths is currently around 243 and falling.
A large number of deaths were reported on this day, because of a delay in the system. At the beginning of February 2022, the number of deaths happening each day was falling.
NHS spending is going to increase by 3.4% a year.
Neither Labour nor the Conservatives’ NHS funding pledges at the last election were as big as the government's latest announcement. The NHS is still set to get less per year than it has historically.
Correct according to the government’s latest plans to 2023/24 for the NHS in England. This is in real terms, taking inflation into account.
The steel industry has been decimated over many years.
32,000 people worked in steel in 2016. More than half of these jobs are in Wales, and Yorkshire and Humber.
The number of people employed in steel in the UK - not including steel processing - has fallen from 320,000 in 1971 to 24,000 in 2016.
Instagram blocks your posts to all but 7% of your followers.
A number of social media posts falsely claim Instagram limits the number of posts seen by others.
This is not true. Instagram confirmed earlier this year that no changes had been made to feed rankings recently or since the claim first appeared two years ago.
Less than 29,000 homes for social rent were built under Labour in Scotland.
Around that many homes for social rent (and funded by the government) were built between 2000/01 to 2006/07. But the data doesn’t include those homes for social rent that didn’t receive any government funding.
If someone with the new coronavirus sneezes, it travels about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne
How far the droplets spread from a sneeze depends on environmental factors, but it is likely to be several metres.
Labour left a £38 billion black hole in the defence budget.
An eight year-old claim about defence funding still hasn’t been fully substantiated.
The Ministry of Defence says this, but this hasn’t been fully substantiated in the evidence it has published.
Three in 10 people who should be self-isolating aren’t doing so.
Keir Starmer’s claim about self-isolation comes with many caveats.
There isn’t enough evidence for this claim, which simply takes the midpoint of the results of two different surveys about self-isolation.
Covid-19 is not classed as a ‘high consequence infectious disease’.
The studies have a future completion date to allow long term follow up of participants. That doesn’t mean that the data we have so far is invalid.
This is true, because it no longer meets the criteria for an HCID. This doesn’t mean that it is no longer considered dangerous or significant.
Suicide is the main cause of death among new mothers.
Suicide overtakes other causes of death between six weeks and one year after delivery, when it accounts for 15% of deaths - more than any other pregnancy-related cause.
Suicide was the main cause of death between six weeks and one year after pregnancy in the period 2012-2014. Other causes of death were more common in the six weeks after giving birth.
2 nurses who were in ITU in Swansea have died today. 3 more still ventilated. All from the same unit.
The claim that three nurses had died in a Swansea ITU, presumably from Covid-19, was false.
Pornhub was blocked for users in Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.
This is a rumour that may have begun on Twitter. The site appears to be working normally for users in Russia.
This was a rumour that appears to be untrue. Pornhub worked normally when other fact checkers used software to simulate a visit from Russia.
Rigevidon can cause blood clots, strokes, and burst aneurysms.
Rigevidon, along with other combined contraceptive pill brands, can sometimes cause these issues, although rarely.
Taxpayers are subsidising low paid workers at Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons by almost £1 billion a year via working tax credits and housing benefits.
A viral image saying the government subsidises low paid workers at four big supermarkets has gone viral. But where does the data come from?
We can’t verify these figures, but we know they’re out of date. Citizens UK—which produced a report that the figures have been taken from—says they should not be used as a reflection of the situation today.
Hydrogen boilers could cause four times as many explosions and injuries than conventional boilers.
Claims that hydrogen boilers could explode at quadruple the rate of conventional gas boilers ignore vital context.
A model estimated that hydrogen boilers would cause more explosions and injuries if used without safety valves. With the valves, the risk from the two systems was about the same.
Health tourism costs 0.3% of NHS spending.
The government has previously estimated that "health tourism" costs the NHS around 0.3% of NHS spending allocated to specific services.
The government’s estimate of how much "deliberate health tourism" and those taking advantage of free NHS services cost the NHS every year was around 0.3% of NHS spending allocated to specific services in 2012/13. It’s still roughly around 0.3% of total health spending.
A legal judgment over Article 50 doesn’t stop us from leaving the EU.
The judgment on 3 November means that the government can’t leave the EU without parliament passing a law allowing Article 50 to be used.
Correct. The judges didn’t, and couldn’t, block Brexit. But they said that the government can’t leave the EU without Parliament passing a law.
A Pfizer document contains a list of around 158,000 adverse events "from their vaccine".
A recently published US document listing adverse events does not show “side effects” of the vaccine. Nor is it the first time the public have been able to see data from its clinical trials.
No it doesn’t. The document lists a mixture of reported adverse events following vaccination. Many may not have been caused by the vaccine.
The deaths of 131 care workers have involved Covid-19.
This is based on data collected on deaths in England and Wales up to 20 April.
Two patients every day die of thirst or starvation in NHS hospitals.
Roughly one patient every three or four days died as a direct result of malnutrition or dehydration in NHS and non-NHS hospitals in England and Wales across 2015.
Roughly one patient every three or four days died as a direct result of malnutrition or dehydration in NHS and non-NHS hospitals in England and Wales across 2015. This can’t be directly linked to the quality of care, though.
The UK share of the vote in the EU Council of Ministers is 8%, down from 17% when we joined.
The UK's formal voting weight in the important EU Council of Ministers has declined since we joined, but recent changes push it back up to 13%.
It has declined, but a new system based on population makes the UK's vote worth 13%. A lot of Council decisions are made by consensus after negotiation, so vote share doesn't neatly capture the UK's influence.
A photograph shows Prince Philip dressed up in guardsman’s uniform as a prank to amuse the Queen.
He was the Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, and this was his uniform. A famous photograph shows him and the Queen laughing when an event was disrupted by bees.
This photograph does show Prince Philip in the uniform of the Grenadier Guards, but it was not a prank. He was the Colonel of the Regiment.
Asymptomatic transmission of Covid-19 does exist and has been shown to be an important factor in how the disease spreads. The number of overall asymptomatic cases however has been debated.
A major clean-up of an Indian beach led to hundreds of thousands sea turtles hatching along its coast this week.
A Facebook post falsely suggests that hundreds of thousands of sea turtles hatched at a beach in India.
The clean-up happened over three years ago. At least 80 turtles were spotted there afterwards, not hundreds of thousands. A photo claiming to show the beach after the clean-up, covered in turtles, was taken on the other side of India.
The publication of a Pfizer document in 2022 is the first time that the public have been able to view data from its clinical trials that was submitted for the Covid-19 vaccine’s approval.
This is not true. Some clinical trial data for the vaccine’s first approval was published in December 2020. The data in this latest document is not exclusively from clinical trials.
The Covid-19 vaccines in use in the UK are still in the experimental phase.
The real front page of the Metro on 16 February was completely different.
This is not true. The vaccines have been approved for use following clinical trials.
In 2016 and 2017 the number of students applying from lower waged families has fallen.
Application rates by disadvantaged young students and entry rates by young pupils from lower waged families haven’t fallen, according to UCAS.
One in four mothers-to-be have mental health issues before they give birth.
Around one in four pregnant mothers studied by King’s College London had a mental health disorder, but the study wasn’t designed to be representative of all pregnant women in the UK.
Around one in four pregnant mothers included in a study by King’s College London had a mental health disorder when interviewed, but the study wasn’t designed to be representative of all pregnant women in the UK.
Cancer, diabetes, and snake bites all cause more deaths than Covid-19 has so far.
This is an underestimate for all cardiovascular disease deaths, but close to the daily figure of those who die from coronary heart disease specifically.
Italy disobeyed world health law from the WHO saying not to carry out autopsies on Covid-19 patients.
The WHO never said autopsies couldn’t take place.
The government are lifting the living wage by the biggest ever amount, up to £8.72, and it will go up to £10.50.
The Prime Minister repeated a number of claims about the NHS and policing which we’ve looked at before.
The national living wage set by the government is set to rise to £8.72 in April, the largest rise since it was put in place in 2016. It was also announced at last year’s Conservative party conference that it would rise to £10.50 within the next five years.
One million people are in the armed forces.
There are around 193,000 UK armed forces personnel, of which 132,000 are full-time trained personnel.
There’s been a reduction in the quantity of business rates across the board in total.
Rates are going up for some on 1 April, but in the past few years government policies have brought them down overall.
That’s correct. In the past few years a combination of increased reliefs, threshold changes and caps on business rate increases have reduced the amount businesses are paying overall.
EU membership adds up to £91bn a year to the UK economy
The study behind this claim estimated that being in the EU benefits the UK between £73-91 billion a year. These are very precise figures for a very uncertain impact.
We don’t know the Covid-19 vaccines are safe because the trial of them is still underway and won’t finish until 2023 so anyone getting the vaccine is being experimented on.
A video claims the roll-out is part of an experiment where the subjects haven’t consented, which is wrong.
Multiple phases of trials have shown the approved vaccines to be safe and effective. Ongoing monitoring and further trials does not disprove this.
The Treasury forecast a recession if the UK voted to leave the EU.
GDP growth was higher than expected in the second half of 2016. It slowed in the first three months of this year.
Neomycin sulphate, an antibiotic, is in vaccines and can lead to epilepsy, brain damage and allergic reactions.
Trace amounts of this antibiotic may end up in certain vaccines. If you are allergic to it could cause an allergic reaction.
Daily deaths from heart disease in England were at 174 in October.
The Covid-19 figures are incorrect based on when the claim was made, and we don’t have recent figures for the non-Covid deaths.
Heart disease is an imprecise term, and based on 2019 data, up to 330 daily deaths could be attributed to it.
Public spending per person in Scotland is higher than across the UK as a whole, and higher than the revenue raised in Scotland.
False. Public spending per person is higher in Scotland than across the UK as a whole. Scotland receives more public spending than it raises in tax.
All animals died in the vaccine’s clinical trials.
Animals used in clinical trials are usually euthanised so scientists can examine their organs.
Animals are usually euthanised as part of medical trials so scientists can examine their organs for signs of pathology. This does not mean they were killed by the vaccine.
Government debt has doubled under the Conservatives.
The rise in government debt from 1997 to the present day.
Not correct. Public sector net debt, adjusted for inflation, rose by 53% between 2009/10 and 2016/17.
If you removed medical students from the NHS workforce statistics, the number of doctors has actually fallen.
Incorrect. The number of doctors working for the NHS in England has increased if these final year students are excluded, although to a lesser extent.
It is one of the cheaper combined contraceptive pills the NHS prescribes in England, at around £8 a year. In contrast, one of the most expensive pills costs around £63 a year.
The number of patients waiting more than 12 hours in A&E is up 2,700% since 2010.
Correct (although not all patients will necessarily have been waiting in A&E). In 2011/12, 120 patients in England waited 12 hours between the decision to admit them to emergency admissions and their actual admission, compared to 3,500 in 2017/18.
120,000 more six year olds are passing the phonics screening check.
The Education Secretary has claimed that 120,000 more six year olds are on track to become confident readers as a result of the focus on phonics.
The proportion of six year olds reaching the expected level in phonics screening check has increased by 19 percentage points from 2012 to 2015 - the equivalent of 120,000 more children meeting the standard in 2015.
Educational attainment in Scotland is at record levels.
Figures on attainment in Scotland depend on which measure you prefer to look at.
It depends on which measure you look at. 15 year olds’ performance in international exams is falling, but at the same time more pupils are leaving school with Higher qualifications..
A BMJ article is proof that the use of PCR tests are a massive part of the problem.
A social media post uses a BMJ article to support a claim about PCR testing, but doesn’t include some important context about the article it’s referencing.
The BMJ article illustrates some of the concerns around potentially using PCR testing for asymptomatic mass testing. This is not how PCR tests are generally being used in the UK.
People who are in insecure work or on zero hours contracts are excluded from the government’s financial support for self-isolation.
Payments of £500 are available to eligible low-income or benefit-receiving workers who have to self-isolate.
These groups aren’t excluded from support but, like other workers, need to be on benefits or have a low income in order to be eligible.
A PHE report shows the Covid-19 vaccines have negative effectiveness in the over-40s.
The headline of a Daily Sceptic article misinterpreted the data in a PHE report— even though the report specifically warned against this.
Incorrect. The report contains data that it warns could be misinterpreted in this way. It also says that the vaccines are positively effective.
UK residents now have to pay dozens of different taxes, none of which existed 100 years ago.
A number of the taxes listed in the Facebook post don’t even exist in the UK.
This isn’t true. Income tax, which is listed in the post, was first introduced in 1799. And there are a number of other taxes mentioned that aren’t in place in the UK.
The UK has the fastest growing economy in the G7.
Economic growth between the third quarter of 2020 and 2021 was the highest in the G7. The UK’s growth between the second and third quarter of 2021 placed fifth.
That’s true if you look at change over the most recent 12 months of data. If you look at growth over the last quarter of data (Q2 to Q3 2021), the UK places fifth.
The World Health Organisation says that the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 is not infectious.
The woman in this video is wrong to blame radiation—and wrong about other things as well
This is not true. The World Health Organisation says that the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 is infectious.
The last labour government took 800,000 children out of poverty.
About 2.7 million fewer children were living in absolute poverty by the end of the last Labour government, or 2.1 million fewer if you take housing costs into account.
Correct, if you look at the number of children living in relative poverty and don’t include housing costs. There’s more than one measure of poverty.
One third of women in the UK report having been harassed in the workplace and 70% said they didn’t feel able to report it.
Estimates for workplace sexual harassment vary depending on whether surveys define acts of sexual harassment. One survey estimated 20% of UK female workers experienced sexual harassment.
It’s difficult to put a figure on this because of differing definitions of harassment. The one third figure comes from a survey that isn’t necessarily representative of adults across the UK, and is about in the middle compared to other survey estimates we’ve seen.
The number of infants in large classes in Wales has increased by 18% over the last three years.
The number of infants in classes of 31 or more in Wales has increased by 18% since 2013. In England it has increased by 32% over the same time.
The old EU-Japan trade deal was estimated to deliver a £2.6 billion boost to the UK economy.
This is the estimate of annual GDP growth after 15 years, but it can’t be compared to the estimate for the UK-Japan deal because they used very different calculation methods.
HS2 will cut journey times to London by a few minutes for a few people.
The latest estimates have put the cost of HS2 at around £106 billion, which is lower than has been claimed recently online.
Official estimates suggest journey times will be cut more significantly, and currently forecast 300,000 passengers a day, although this is an uncertain figure.
Photos of Boris Johnson receiving his Covid-19 booster vaccine do not show him being vaccinated.
Multiple Facebook posts suggest, incorrectly, that Boris Johnson may not have received his Covid booster vaccine.
Mr Johnson was vaccinated, as can be seen in a video tweeted by the prime minister. A blue cap at the end of the needle is part of the injection device, not a safety cap.
A no deal Brexit means the UK makes its own laws again.
If we leave the EU with no deal, EU laws will no longer have power or jurisdiction over the UK (although all existing EU law will be copied over into UK law). However the UK will still follow certain international rules and regulations, such as trading rules determined by the WTO and the European Convention of Human Rights.
Germ theory is a scientifically proven lie.
The idea that microscopic organisms cause many diseases, which humans often pass on to one another, is an established scientific fact.
This is not true. Germ theory is an established scientific fact.
Muslims failing to understand government messaging were responsible for Leicester’s local outbreak.
It is still too early to give a definitive explanation for why Leicester’s outbreak happened.
A failure to understand government messaging has been suggested as one factor contributing to Leicester’s outbreak, but it is not proven, far from the only possible factor and not limited to Muslims over any other community.
The Delta variant doesn’t exist and is a media-fabricated scam.
It is done through further analysis of positive PCR results.
The Delta variant is real. It has affected many countries across the world, including the UK, and is a recognised variant of concern designated by bodies such as Public Health England and the World Health Organisation.
The government reduced payments for people with disabilities by £30 a week.
From April 2017, new Employment and Support Allowance claimants in the group who must attend interviews with an adviser started getting £30 a week less (down to £73.10) than they would have previously. In 2016, this was projected to save between £30 million and £450 million a year between 2017/18 and 2020/21.
Illegal immigrants or refugees living in Britain get a total yearly benefit of £29,900.
This viral image claims that pensioners can collect just a fifth of what ‘illegal immigrants’ and refugees can. But how much can each group really get?
Illegal immigrants cannot collect benefits, and refugees can on the same basis as UK nationals once their request for asylum is granted—but this figure is unusually high.
There are 11,000 fewer firefighters in England than there were in 2010.
Firefighter numbers have decreased by 22% since 2010 and fire-related deaths have increased by 20% since last year.
This figure seems to refer to the reduction in all staff working for fire and rescue services in England. There are 6,800 fewer firefighters in England than there were in 2010.
The Guardian said “Lib Dems winning and on the up after by-election victory” in August 2019.
A Lib Dem leaflet edited a Guardian headline, which paraphrased the words of Jo Swinson, to make it look like the Guardian said it directly.
This is misleading. The quote is an edited version of the Guardian headline, which made clear that the words originally came from Jo Swinson, not the Guardian itself.
Theresa May has been claiming between £400 and £520 per month for ‘cleaning’ at her home.
The figures quoted in the meme are mostly correct, though they date from the late 2000s when Mrs May was an opposition MP.
These sums were claimed back in April-October 2006 and July 2006 to March 2007. They covered the whole period rather than being monthly.
Schools in the UK could reopen and the lockdown could be lifted in the next two days.
Claims circulating on April Fool’s Day have claimed the UK lockdown could be lifted in the next few days. That’s not correct.
Mercury is used as a preservative in vaccines and is not safe.
There’s no evidence that thiomersal, found in some UK vaccines, can do any harm.
A mercury based chemical (and not the same one that can build up in the body after ingesting infected fish) is present in some non-standard UK vaccines. But it is not harmful in those amounts.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was kicked out of India.
Also, claims that the polio vaccine paralysed thousands of children are based on shaky evidence.
Six million people earn less than the living wage.
Six million jobs pay less than the living wage. That’s not the same as people. An estimated 5.4 million people earned below this level, according to earlier data.
40% of fines for pupil absence go unpaid.
It was claimed today that 40% of fines for pupil absence go unpaid. It's more like 20%, according to the latest data (for 2012/13).
Incorrect. About 20% of fines went unpaid in England in 2012/13. 63% were paid within the maximum time limit, but some of the remainder were withdrawn rather than unpaid.
The UK no longer has an NHS according to the WHO’s definition.
There has been privatisation of services according to the WHO’s definition, but that doesn’t mean it thinks the NHS has been abolished.
Incorrect. There has been privatisation of services according to the WHO’s definition, because more NHS care is run by private sector companies. But the WHO didn’t say this means there’s no longer an NHS.
The mRNA vaccines from BioNTech/Pfizer contain polyethylene glycol (PEG). 70% of people develop antibodies against this substance—this means many people can develop allergic, potentially fatal reactions to the vaccination.
Claims about PEG, non-neutralizing antibodies, fertility and late effects have been made about the first Covid-19 vaccine approved in the UK.
It’s true that the vaccine contains this, but in very small amounts. In some rare cases people are allergic to PEG and one study found 72% of samples were found to contain mostly low levels of antibodies against it, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that many will have an allergic reaction.
The UK could pay £500 million more per week for drugs following a post-Brexit trade deal with the USA.
While it’s certainly possible the NHS could pay more for drugs after a post-Brexit US trade deal, we can’t say what this would look like until after a draft agreement has been released.
It’s certainly possible that drug prices could increase following a trade deal as this fits with US priorities from past negotiations. But the £500 million figure is a rough calculation based on a scenario that the Nuffield Trust has said is fairly extreme.
There are 9 million more visits to A&E since 2000.
This is correct, but walk-in centres have been introduced since then, and this type of A&E has seen the biggest rise in attendances. Major A&E departments have seen their attendances increase by around 3 million between 2002/03 and 2015/16.
Young British people would be conscripted into an EU army under EU regulations.
If the UK stays in the EU, it wouldn’t be forced into participating in an EU army. The UK has a veto on military policy.
The EU has no formal plans for an EU army, or for military conscription. The UK has a veto on EU military policy so couldn’t be forced to participate in an EU army.
Flu is killing many more people than Covid-19 at the moment.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics are being widely misunderstood. Flu isn’t the underlying cause of death for more people than Covid-19 at the moment, but pneumonia probably is.
There isn’t evidence for this. Although we don’t have detailed data on recent deaths, there are almost certainly fewer deaths where flu is identified as the underlying cause compared to Covid-19.
Scotland’s youth unemployment rate fell by 0.3 percentage points over the last year.
That data shows Scottish youth unemployment has fallen. But official data shows it has increased in Scotland over the last year.
This is based on experimental data so isn’t a “national statistic”. The most reliable data shows that youth unemployment in Scotland increased by 0.8 percentage points (from 8.9% to 9.8%) in the year to July 2019, compared to the year before.
One in four people is hooked on prescription drugs.
Research by Public Health England into the prescribing of five specific types of drug found there wasn’t enough evidence to say how many people were addicted.
Incorrect. Research by Public Health England into the prescribing of five specific types of drug found there wasn’t enough evidence to say how many people were addicted. One in four adults in England received a prescription for at least one of the drug types they looked at in 2017/18.
There were around 300,000 diagnoses of cancer in England in 2016—excluding non-melanoma skin cancers—compared to around 250,000 a decade before. The age-standardised incidence rate has risen for women and fallen for men in that time.
Millennials are on track to become the first generation to suffer worse health than their parents when they reach middle age, a study has warned.
Generational health improvements are being undermined by instability and loneliness among millennials, a report says.
A report by the Health Foundation says “The gains made as a society in improving the health of previous generations may well be eroded by the precariousness and instability of the lives some young people are facing.” We’ve asked it for more information.
A video shows protesters in London chanting “We’re racist and that’s the way we like it”.
The audio has been taken from a video of racist Chelsea fans in Paris in 2015.
Incorrect. Audio from a clip of racist Chelsea fans in Paris in 2015 has been added onto the video of the protests at the weekend.
Most people who own a house, own one house.
In England the share of households with a second home is small. The majority of households in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland own their home.
Correct for England, we haven’t yet sourced this for the rest of the UK.
The UK can stay in the single market and control immigration.
We don't know what the future arrangements for the UK will be as this will depend on the deal that is reached between the government and the EU.
This depends on the deal struck between the UK and the EU. The UK is unlikely to be able to control the level of immigration from the rest of the EU while staying in the single market, and EU leaders are saying they won’t compromise on this issue.
The USA is the largest investor in the UK economy.
We factchecked claims made by Theresa May and Donald Trump during the latter’s recent state visit and found they were correct.
Correct. US-based companies invested around £350 billion in the UK in 2017. That made it the top investor in the country.
It’s illegal to sue those behind covid vaccines.
Current UK law says that if the government decided to authorise a vaccine for emergency use, manufacturers and healthcare professionals would not take responsibility for most civil liability claims. However if the product is not found to have met safety standards or is defective, this immunity is lost.
Official International Red Cross records reveal the actual Concentration Camp total death during World War II toll was 271,301.
Anti-Semitic claims that Red Cross documents show the Holocaust death toll was well below the widely accepted six million estimate are false.
Incorrect. The documents managed by the International Committee of the Red Cross only recorded a fraction of the Holocaust death count. They do not in any way dispute the official death toll of six million.
A group of puppies transported more than 100 miles died with Covid-19.
The BBC’s live blog confused Covid-19 with canine coronavirus
This is wrong. These puppies had canine coronavirus. It is not the same as Covid-19.
Analysis by the King’s Fund suggests that 40% of mental health trusts saw budget reductions last year.
It’s correct that 40% of mental health trusts had lower income in 2015/16 compared to the previous year, according to analysis by the King’s Fund think tank.
Messages encouraging users to upgrade to WhatsApp Gold should be ignored.
Misinformation claiming a malicious WhatsApp video called Dance of the Pope will install software and format your phone has been going viral since at least 2015.
Correct. WhatsApp Gold does not exist, but there are numerous “WhatsApp Gold” scams which encourage people to download the fake app which may be harmful for their computer or mobile device.
The number of people detained under the Mental Health Act has increased by 47% in ten years.
Correct in England between 2005/06 and 2015/16.
A viral Facebook post makes a number of claims about the ingredients and side effects of vaccines.
Some vaccines use an ingredient called human serum albumin, which is derived from human blood. But the blood from donors is screened before use to prevent any contamination.
About one in nine UK workers were estimated to be foreign nationals in 2016.
17.4 million people voted to leave and 16.1 million voted to remain in the EU referendum.
These figures about how constituencies voted in the referendum show the right general pattern according to best estimates.
Luc Montagnier has said there is no chance for survival for people who receive a Covid-19 vaccine.
Luc Montagnier has expressed opposition to Covid-19 vaccines.
We don’t have an exact number for how many mosques there are and over what period they opened. There are 478 mosques, Islamic centres, prayer rooms and halls for hire in London according to an unofficial estimate. Some of these opened many decades ago.
18 people died of Covid-19 in one day in England.
These figures appear greatly exaggerated.
More female and black and minority ethnic lawyers were appointed to the senior rank of Queen’s Counsel in 2016/17 than ever before.
The percentage of new QCs that are female or from a black and ethnic minority background is going up, but that isn't changing the overall picture.
Correct, if you add both groups together. Looking at each category individually, there have been more female, and more black and ethnic minority, QCs appointed in previous years.
The UK has only granted asylum to 187 Syrian refugees through the Vulnerable Person Relocation scheme.
187 Syrian refugees entered the UK through a government programme. 4-5,000 Syrian refugees arrived in the UK since the crisis started. Which is correct?
This is correct, but not all Syrian refugees arrive in the UK through the scheme.
44.2% of Southern Mainline and Coast trains were not at terminus on time.
When is a train 'on time' and when is it late? There's more than one definition.
This figure is accurate according to one definition of ‘on time’: trains arriving within five minutes. According to another definition—within one minute—an estimated 70% of trains during this period were late.
There are 1.5 million British people employed in businesses owned by EU citizens in the UK.
In 2014, about 1.6 million people in the UK were employed by EU-owned businesses.
In 2014, about 1.6 million people were employed by businesses that were EU-owned, or by businesses whose parent company was EU-owned. We don’t know how many of these employees were British.
It isn’t necessary for parties to form tactical alliances in the EU parliament elections.
Smaller parties are disadvantaged by the voting system in Great Britain, so it’s harder to win as many seats as larger, unified voting blocs.
The National Audit Office has said that 420,000 new school places are needed.
We took a look at claims from Prime Minister’s Questions about the need for new school places, what’s happening to per pupil spending and the level of need in the areas where free schools have opened.
Correct. 420,000 places will be needed in primary and secondary schools between 2016 and 2021, according to the National Audit Office.
125,000 care home staff had been tested for Covid-19 as of mid-May.
This is not correct. Government data shows 125,000 tests on staff in care settings had been processed. It is not possible to tell the number of staff tested but it is likely much lower. The figure also includes tests on other people including family members, social care workers and care home CEOs.
Photos appearing to show Boris Johnson hosting a Christmas quiz from Number 10 Downing Street in 2020 show that the CCTV camera in the room has been covered with a big bag.
Other photos of the room show it’s an ornate curtain.
The object people are saying is a bin bag covering a security camera is actually part of the curtain.
You must wear gloves to go to the supermarket.
This is not correct. No guidance on gloves has been issued for supermarkets.
This viral image makes claims about sharia law, mosques, no go areas and violence in London.
There is nowhere in London where the law doesn’t apply.
A single person on Universal Credit will receive £334 per month
This is the daily allowance for doing parliamentary work in the House. However, not all Lords can claim it, or do.
This is currently the basic monthly allowance for a single person aged over 24. However, many claimants will receive supplementary payments, and many others will not receive the full amount if they also earn an income above a certain level from work.
A UK government document is circulating promoting mandatory Covid-19 vaccination.
Evidence submitted to the human rights committee by four academics has been misunderstood.
Evidence submitted to a parliamentary committee by four academics argues that the government may want to consider making a Covid-19 vaccine mandatory. This is not being proposed by the government.
More than half of net migration to the UK comes from the EU.
Estimated net migration of citizens from the rest of the EU is actually slightly lower than net migration from the rest of the world—not more than half.
Airlines in Spain and Russia have warned people vaccinated against Covid-19 not to fly.
This Covid-19 rumour has spread from Russia to Spain to Australia and the UK, but it isn’t true.
This is not true. There is no evidence of any airline saying this.
While Boris Johnson was mayor, the murder rate fell.
While Boris Johnson was London’s mayor, the homicide rate fell from 21 to 13 per million people. The overall police recorded crime rate fell 23%.
Correct, looking at homicides overall, rather than just murders. The homicide rate fell from roughly 21 per million people in 2007/08 to 13 per million in 2015/16.
Data will be linked to your NHS number, date of birth and postcode.
NHS Digital will start collecting the data at the start of September.
NHS Digital will convert these details into codes to pseudonymise the data, which it says means no one will be able to directly identify you from the data without also having the key that links each patient to their codes.
Disposable incomes of ordinary working people have collapsed over the last 15 years.
Over the last 15 years, disposable incomes have risen across all income groups. Over the last decade, there’s been stagnation.
It’s not clear what this is referring to, but over the last 15 years, disposable incomes have risen across all income groups. They’ve broadly stagnated over the last decade.
Covid-19 can be cured by antibiotic tablets, anti-inflammatory and taking anticoagulants such as aspirin.
Russia was not the first country to perform an autopsy on a Covid-19 victim.
While the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen has been tested in Covid-19 patients and the anticoagulant heparin has been used to treat some patients, it is misleading to say they “cure” the disease. Antibiotics are not used to directly treat viruses and aspirin can be used as pain relief in adults but not as a cure for Covid-19.
100,000 children have not returned to school since the start of the pandemic.
An Evening Standard article claims that almost 100,000 children have not returned to school since the start of the pandemic.
This is not a current figure, so we can’t use it to describe how many pupils have remained absent from school since the start of the pandemic. The Centre for Social Justice found 93,514 pupils missed more than 50% of school sessions between September to December 2020.
Eat Out to Help Out led to an increase in Covid-19 infection rates
Debate over whether the government scheme caused a rise in infections continues.
We cannot reliably say whether this is true. One study estimates that it did cause extra Covid cases, but it is uncertain, and often misunderstood
In 2008, US children got 36 vaccines and the autism rate was 1 in 150.
US children were recommended to get around 13 vaccines, which involved about 39 doses, in 2008. It was estimated that about 1 in 88 children has autism disorders.
The local Government Association said the spending review would allow some councils to go some of the way to raise the money they need for social care.
That's right, although how far the measures will go varies by area. Experts have estimated the funding gap for adult social care at between £2.8 billion and £3.5 billion by 2020.
Rapid Covid-19 tests are unreliable because fruit and Coca-Cola can give “positive” results.
If we stick to using rapid tests on humans, they very rarely give false positives.
This is not true. Rapid Covid tests very rarely give false positive results when used on humans, as intended. They more often give false negatives.
The NHS Covid-19 vaccination card will be used to prove who has been vaccinated.
It is a vaccine record card with appointment details, but no secure identifying information
This is not true. The card contains a record of someone’s vaccination and a reminder of their second appointment date, but it does not contain secure personal information so it cannot prove who was vaccinated.
The International Criminal Court in The Hague has acknowledged documents associated with a campaign to end the Covid-19 vaccine rollout.
This is true, but this is only a standard acknowledgement of a complaint and not proof of an investigation or wrongdoing.
The government’s tax take has been roughly between 34% and 38% of GDP since the 1970s and is set to rise to 38%.
In recent years the UK's tax take has varied between 30% and 35% of GDP.
These figures seem to refer to all government income, not just taxes. On that basis it’s broadly correct, although income has been more than 40% of GDP at points.
Last year the UK took in 558,000 people from developed countries alone.
How many migrants have arrived in Europe in 2015? How many are expected to come? How many people arrived in the UK in 2014? We look at the facts.
558,000 people is the total number of foreign nationals that moved to the UK in 2014, not just asylum seekers, and not just people from developed countries.
Official data shows twice as many people have died due to the Covid-19 vaccines in six months than people who have died of Covid-19 in 15 months.
An article reproduced across a number of sites repeatedly draws misleading conclusions from official data.
This is completely untrue, and is based on misleading conclusions drawn from official data. It only counts Covid-19 deaths in England with no underlying conditions, and misuses reports of deaths after Covid-19 vaccines where no causal link can be proven.
One estimate of the “economic cost” of Brexit, £130 billion, now exceeds what we’ve paid in to the EU over 47 years.
Not quite. In real terms we paid £216 billion into the EU between 1973 and 2018, while the economic cost was estimated at £130 billion by 2019.
There’s no definitive figure for the economic impact of Brexit. The analysis this is based on estimates the UK’s GDP is £130 billion lower in 2019 than it would have been had it followed pre-EU referendum trends. Between 1973 and 2018 the UK’s net contribution to the EU was £216 billion in real terms.
London is losing 3,000 police officers from the streets.
Yes, according to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, who says she expects this to happen by 2020.
This is the Metropolitan Police’s working assumption for how many officers will be lost between now and 2020.
Deaths from flu and pneumonia have been replaced with Covid-19.
It was also claimed on talkRADIO that deaths from other respiratory diseases have simply been “replaced“ with Covid-19.
While the figures point towards a decrease in the number of deaths caused by flu and pneumonia, this has not just been replaced with deaths from Covid-19, which far exceed that possible shortfall.
Lowering the state pension age for women back to 60 would create four million jobs for the younger generation.
A post on Facebook incorrectly claims that allowing women born in the 1950s to retire at age 60 would create four million jobs for young people.
This is not accurate. There is no evidence that four million women over the age of 60 are currently employed nor that they would all retire given the opportunity.
The unemployment rate is the lowest it’s been for over a decade.
The overall employment rate is at its highest on record (since 1970). Unemployment is at a ten year low.
2% or 3% of lorries going through Dover aren’t going to the EU.
The Port of Dover has previously said that between 1% and 3% of lorries arriving at Dover are not from the EU, but we haven’t been able to confirm the source of the figure.
We haven’t seen the evidence to confirm this. We were told the figures came from the Port of Dover authorities, who have previously given similar figures to parliamentary committees. They have so far been unable to confirm the figures, so we’ve asked for more information.
Muslims can’t use alcohol-based hand sanitiser as it is against their religion.
Incorrect. Many Muslims consider it permissible to use alcohol-based hand sanitisers. There has been no suggestion that sanitiser use contributed to the Leicester outbreak.
There is no evidence that this virus is present in any vaccines or that it is linked to disease in humans.
Cyclists can ride two abreast but the Highway Code does not say they should.
West Midlands Police agree that 17-year-old Adam Ali was “murdered” with a Covid-19 vaccine.
A video on Facebook wrongly claims police have “agreed” that a teenager was killed with a Covid-19 vaccine
This is false. Adam Ali was not vaccinated before he died and police are not treating his death as a criminal matter.
The World Health Organisation states that there are up to 650,000 deaths per year associated with respiratory illnesses linked to seasonal flu.
An argument that the flu vaccine doesn’t work because the flu has not been eliminated doesn’t add up.
Correct. Between 290,000 and 650,000 respiratory deaths per year globally are attributed to the flu.
Covid-19 vaccines offer no protection against transmission of or infection from the virus.
Neil Oliver recently incorrectly said that Covid-19 vaccines don’t offer any protection against transmission or infection from the virus.
While they don’t reduce the risk completely, multiple studies have shown vaccines do have a meaningful impact on your chances of catching or passing on the virus once you’ve been vaccinated. Early evidence suggests a booster vaccine will strengthen this effect even more.
This screenshot shows an empty NHS funding bill debate.
Bills go through many readings and debates which can be attended by varying groups of MPs.
It is true that this is a debate for the NHS Funding Bill, however, bills go through many readings in parliament and the House of Lords.
The EU imposes taxes or “tariffs” on rice, oranges, coffee, wine, children’s clothes and other non-EU imports.
Correct, though not all non-EU trade is subject to tariffs. The EU has arrangements—including trade deals—with non-EU countries that reduce or remove these tariffs.
Driving in flip flops could land you a £5,000 fine, 9 points and a driving ban.
Driving carelessly could lead to a maximum fine of £5,000, 3-9 points on your licence and possibly a driving ban in the most serious cases.
Driving in flip flops doesn’t carry any penalties by itself, but if it led to careless driving or endangered other road users then these penalties could apply.
79.7% of contacts of people who test positive for Covid-19 are reached.
Matt Hancock misspoke saying that 79.7% of close contacts of infected people are being reached by test and trace.
Incorrect. This is the proportion of people who tested positive in the first place who are reached by the system. In the week to 5 August 79.7% of people who were referred to the service after testing positive were reached. Close contacts were identified for 78.6% of those cases. Of those close contacts, 74.2% were reached and asked to self-isolate.
There has been a steep decline in the number of student nurses following bursary cuts.
The number of applicants to nursing courses in the UK is down by 19% this year compared to 2016. Students starting on nursing, midwifery and most allied health courses from August will no longer be able to access the NHS bursary scheme in England.
The recorded robbery rate in England and Wales increased more in 2016 than 13 countries examined by the Home Office, but the rate itself wasn’t top.
The increase in the number and rate of recorded robberies between 2015 and 2016 was greater in England and Wales than in any of 12 other countries examined in Home Office analysis. But in Spain, the USA and France the actual number and rate of robberies was higher than in England and Wales.
Covid-19 is being used to usher in Agenda 2030 which will enslave humanity.
There is no evidence that Covid-19 is being used to usher in rules that will enslave humanity as part of Agenda 2030.
Agenda 2030 is a set of goals set by the UN in 2015 that include ending hunger. There is no evidence that it’s a wider policy to harm humanity.
This Conservative government introduced parity of esteem for mental health services in the NHS.
The government wants to achieve equality between the physical and mental health services provided to people, but it’s not there yet.
The government wants to achieve equality between the physical and mental health services provided to people, but it’s not there yet. The Coalition and Conservative government both introduced commitments to parity of esteem in legislation and official documents. The idea has been talked about for decades.
The estimated cost of a no deal Brexit is £5.81 per person per day.
This seems to be based on an estimate of how much lower UK GDP could be in 2030 if we leave with no deal, compared to if we remained in the EU. This is a hypothetical model for comparing possible paths: it cannot be used to accurately predict the size of the economy in 2030, or to translate the “cost” of Brexit into a definitive cash sum.
US food standards allow for insect fragments in peanut butter.
US food standards set limits above zero for insect fragments in peanut butter, beyond which enforcement action is mandatory.
Pictures show Boris Johnson has received a Covid-19 vaccine three times.
One of the pictures circulated on social media shows the PM receiving a flu vaccination.
This is not true. One of the pictures shows the Prime Minister receiving an annual flu vaccine.
Under Margaret Thatcher the corporation rate was 52%. It fell to 34% while she was Prime Minister.
Revenues are up in cash terms, but that isn't unarguably linked to lower rates. Corporation tax rates have gone down since 2010, and they're a lot lower than they were in the 1980s.
Poland lowered its retirement age using money from the EU.
As of 2018, the most common retirement age for men and women in the EU was 65. In some countries, women can retire as early as 60.
There is no evidence for this. Poland gets back more from the EU budget than it pays in, but none of this is spent directly on pensions.
A judge refused to allow a child to live with her grandparents, instead of being adopted, because they were too old.
A widely reported story about a judge refusing to allow a child to live with her grandparents, because they were too old, is proved wrong by the judgment.
This isn't correct. Age was mentioned in passing in the judge's written decision, but not as the main reason for it.
While some EU member states' population are shrinking, forecast put the UK's population at 70 million in the next decades. The UK is predicted to be the most populous country in the EU by 2050. Net migration into the UK is over 300,000 a year.
David Cameron's speech at Chatham House contained a number of claims on population growth and immigration. We've checked them here.
According to the Lisbon Treaty, in 2022 we would have to give up our currency.
The UK wouldn’t be losing its currency, the Queen or ownership of its oil, gas and minerals if it stayed in the EU.
Incorrect, nothing is due to change in 2022 and the UK has an opt-out of the euro.
Three Maryland coronavirus patients fully recovered and are able to return to everyday life.
Correct. On 13 March 2020, Montgomery County, Maryland confirmed that three residents who previously had the virus no longer tested positive.
Thirty-two deaths from the swine flu vaccine in 1976 halted the programme.
Deaths reported after a Covid-19 vaccine aren’t necessarily caused by the vaccine itself.
Full Fact could not find a confirmed number of deaths reported after a swine flu vaccine in 1976, but reports suggest that a number of the deaths could not be directly linked with the vaccine. The rollout was halted because of a number of reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome, and the fact the swine flu cases never reached pandemic levels.
Pakistani men are disproportionately involved in grooming gangs.
The information we have about the ethnicity of those involved in sexual grooming and sexual offences against children more widely is patchy and has a lot of problems.
Some studies have found that a disproportionate number of offenders and suspected offenders in child grooming gangs are categorised as being of Asian ethnicity and most don’t break this down any further so we can’t know if they are Pakistani. But all of the studies stress that the data isn’t good enough to know whether this is a true reflection of offenders in these cases.
More than a third of babies are born to foreign parents.
About a third of babies in England and Wales have at least one parent born outside the UK. You probably wouldn’t call all those parents ‘foreign’.
The average age of a Conservative Party member is 72.
It’s almost impossible to know exactly what the Conservative membership's average age is, but 57 is probably the best guess for now.
It’s almost impossible to know exactly. Recent academic research suggests that 57 is probably the best estimate.
A member of the House of Lords will receive £323 per day
£323 is the allowance that members of the Lords can currently claim for each day they do parliamentary work in the House. Not all peers do claim it, however, and none claim it every day.
90,000 women are raped in the UK every year.
Official surveys show how widespread sexual violence and domestic abuse are.
There is no way of knowing exactly. Estimates suggest 90,000 woman a year were victims of rape, attempted rape and sexual assault offences in England and Wales. An estimated 50,000 women were raped, rising to 70,000 including attempted rapes.
Citric acid is a poison derived from black mould and is deliberately being used to harm the population.
Manufactured citric acid is one of the most common food additives in the world.
It is true that manufactured citric acid is made from a type of mould, but it is generally recognised as safe. There is no evidence it is being used in a plot to harm the population.
Nicola Sturgeon is keeping the lockdown.
There were some slight changes to the lockdown rules from Monday 11 May but they remained much the same as before. They have since been relaxed further to allow meetings of people from two households.
43% of health boards in England provide no specialised mental health service for new or expecting mothers.
Figures show that 39% of CCGs have no community mental health provision for pregnant or new mothers.
This was correct in 2014 and is still about right. Updated figures from the Maternal Mental Health Alliance show that 39% of Clinical Commissioning Groups have no community mental health services for pregnant or new mothers. 19% had services which met Royal College of Psychiatrists standards.
Incorrect. The number of beds available in NHS hospitals in England has been falling for the last thirty years, something experts put down to medical innovations. 1,300 fewer beds were used by patients fit to be discharged in November 2017 compared to the year before.
However, the European Union does have lawmakers that aren’t elected by the public.
The combined total of the House of Commons and House of Lords is 1458 if you include recently announced Life Peers.
BBC Question Time hired the son of a BBC producer to pose as a Brexit and Boris Johnson supporter.
The claim was spread by a now-deleted tweet.
This is incorrect. The man on the show was not Mr Burley’s son, and Burley does not work on Question Time. The claim originated from a spoof account.
A government review warns it is almost as easy to buy some drugs as it is to buy pizza.
The head of a Home Office investigation into drug use in Britain claimed it is almost easier to buy drugs than pizza.
There is not enough evidence for this claim, which does not appear in the review itself. The Global Drug Survey compared delivery times of cocaine and pizza internationally in 2018 and found 30% of people could get cocaine in under 30 minutes while only 16.5% of people said they could get a pizza delivered in that time. Figures to make this comparison for the UK aren’t available.
Each air strike in Syria will cost £508,000, enough to pay for up to 20 public sector workers.
Would air strikes in Syria cost £508,000 each, enough to pay for about 20 teachers or 19 nurses?
The £508,000 figure is a rough estimate, and estimating how many workers it would "pay for" is trickier than you might think.
Young people tend to be lower paid, in insecure work and spend more of their income on travel.
Labour made several claims about young people and bus travel in a video to launch their new free travel policy.
Younger workers tend to earn less and a bigger proportion of gig workers are young than in more traditional forms of employment. Compared to all households, younger ones spend slightly more on public transport.
The NHS says that the Covid-19 vaccines approved for use in the UK have “met strict standards of safety, quality and effectiveness”.
A poll shows that 80% of British people want to quit the EU.
This "ballot" says nothing about the state of nationwide opinion. Recent professional polls show that around 36% to 48% of people support leaving.
Six council homes were built under Labour in Scotland.
Incorrect. This reflects a single year under the Labour-Lib Dem coalition in Scotland. Almost all social housing new-builds (several thousand each year) were started by housing associations during that time.
All alleged victims of adult sexual offences tried in the Crown Court will be able to have their evidence recorded in advance from September 2017.
Plans for alleged rape victims to pre-record their evidence will be piloted in three courts from September, not rolled out nationwide.
Only a small number of alleged victims in three particular courts are likely to be affected by these proposals from September.
There is a distinct likelihood children will develop myocarditis if they receive a Covid-19 vaccination.
There is some evidence linking Covid-19 vaccines to myocarditis, and the symptoms that have been reported are “very rare” and “typically mild”.
No-one is going to see a reduction in their benefits because of the recent amendment to PIP legislation.
People who were assessed for Personal Independence Payments before the tribunal decisions on 29 November won’t see their payments fall because the legislation has been amended.
No-one who was assessed before the two recent tribunal decisions will see a cut in their payments. If the legislation hadn’t been amended then some of them might have seen their payments increase on reassessment. People who were assessed after 28 November may see their payments drop as a consequence of the amendment, as and when they are reassessed.
Statistics show that Serco is much worse at contact tracing than local councils.
Public and private contact tracers do different kinds of work, so it is difficult to compare their performance.
This comparison needs context. Public and private contact tracers do different jobs, and there’s reason to believe it may be easier for local teams to reach a higher proportion of their contacts.
33,000 people are employed by the European Commission, and 7,500 by the Parliament.
Roughly correct, although that’s not all staff employed by the EU. The total administrative staff is around 60,000.
A 12 year-old was taken by strangers and attacked.
Report on child attack uses content stolen from other stories and is highly suspicious.
This article is highly suspicious and steals content from a number of unrelated stories.
Claims that Japan doesn’t take in any refugees are false.
Incorrect. Japan does accept a small number of officially recognised refugees, but more people are able to stay in Japan under humanitarian grounds.
The return to universities could cause 50,000 deaths from Covid-19 without “strong controls”.
This assumes that every student in the UK catches Covid-19 this autumn, and that nothing is done to stop it
This comes from a research paper that has not been peer-reviewed. It is based on several assumptions, including that every student gets infected, and nothing is done to stop it.
Covid-19 barely mutated before vaccines were rolled out.
All four variants of concern were identified before mass vaccine roll-outs.
This is untrue. All four variants of concern, designated as such by the World Health Organisation, were identified before mass public vaccination programmes began.
Consuming certain plants will stop women from getting pregnant.
Plants are not a substitute for contraception.
None of these are effective forms of birth control, and some can even cause harm to women.
The government has 'cut the deficit in half'.
David Cameron claimed that the deficit has halved. In absolute terms, it hasn't.
The deficit as a percentage of GDP this year is forecast to be half its 2009/10 value, but this is not the case for the absolute value of the deficit.
Remaining in the EU gives us the right to send people from other countries home if they can’t support themselves.
Net migration to the UK could be 100,000 higher after Brexit under the government’s plans.
Migration Watch has withdrawn a study into post-Brexit immigration levels due to accuracy concerns.
The study this is based on is inaccurate and has been withdrawn.
The proposal to introduce a points-based system could put up immigration, based on Australia's experience.
Australia's immigration levels don't tell us anything about what might happen in the UK. Whether or not immigration went up would depend, in part, on how the points-based system was designed by the UK.
The rollout of liaison therapy may have contributed to a 6% fall in suicide rates.
Liaison psychiatry is available in nearly all A&Es in England. More than half of these are 24/7, but the extent of care provision still varies across them.
This fall did happen but the link can’t be proved. Experts say liaison services can play a role in reducing suicides, but there’s no way to prove the extent to which one caused the other, and the rates tend to fluctuate from year to year anyway.
House building starts fell by 45% under Labour, but have increased by over two thirds since the Conservatives were in government.
We've looked at the Labour and Conservative records on house building, the impact of the financial crisis and how house building measures affect the picture.
This is correct, but also reflects the impact of the financial crisis on house building. The exact time period you look at and the measure of building can have a big impact on how the figures are interpreted.
The number of Britons getting citizenship of another EU country has doubled.
Between 2015 and 2016, the number of UK citizens being granted citizenship of another EU country more than doubled.
The budget deficit has fallen by two thirds since 2009/10, just before the Coalition came into power.
The deficit did fall while the Coalition was in power, but not by as much as originally planned.
You’re far more likely to die in a car crash this year.
Is it a cow? Is it a plane? The hunt for a straightforward way to explain the AstraZeneca vaccine risk is complicated.
Correct. Around one in 35,720 people in Britain die in a road accident each year.
It is estimated that a single Google search could power a low-energy light bulb for an hour.
It’s really hard to say exactly how energy intensive a Google search is, but a recent Sunday Times article overestimated the figure.
Google’s own estimate which is a decade old shows that the energy required to power a Google search could power a low energy (10 watt) light bulb for 108 seconds. Each search will vary slightly and Google searches may have become more efficient in the last decade.
Most students who immigrate to the UK return home after study.
There aren’t official figures to prove how many international students return home after their studies, and the available evidence which might give an indication is contradictory.
The available evidence is contradictory. Most student immigrants come from outside the EU on a temporary visa and a minority still have the right to remain after a few years. But emigration figures suggest the number staying in the UK may be higher than this.
Emmanuel Macron said the UK must pay in full the costs involved for all other member states for Brexit, currently 39 billion euros if it wants to remain in the EU.
He hasn’t said this. Under the terms of the Brexit withdrawal agreement, we’ll pay the EU an estimated £39 billion “divorce bill” for outstanding commitments and liabilities. If we remain in the EU, we would pay our membership fee each year which would cover all these things.
Independent experts have suggested that Google is paying an effective tax rate on its UK profits of around 3%.
The debate is over what counts as Google's "economic activity" in the UK.
This all comes down to how people think Google’s “economic activity” in the UK should be defined. Several experts have said that the amount of tax that Google is paying over the last decade represents only around 3-5% of the profits that they think Google should be taxed on. HMRC says that Google will be paying the full tax due. Without the full details, we don’t know to what extent this agreement accounts for the concerns that people have about Google’s tax arrangements.
A map shows the potential sites of Russian nuclear strikes on the UK.
A map being shared on social media suggests potential sites of Russian nuclear strikes across the UK, but the original estimates are now 50 years old, and don't give any reliable indication of the sit
The locations were suggested by the UK government in documents made 50 years ago, during the Cold War, and don’t give any reliable indication of the situation today.
The government has taken millions of people out of paying income tax.
Increases to the income tax personal allowance have taken millions out of income tax, although those on low incomes have been hit elsewhere.
Increases in the personal allowance since 2010 mean four million additional people now below the threshold don’t pay income tax.
The High Court ruled that Northern Ireland’s abortion law was contrary to international human rights law, though this has since been successfully appealed.
Abortion is banned in Northern Ireland except to protect the health of the mother. Campaigners have been trying to change the law.
Correct. The case is now being appealed to the Supreme Court.
Since Omicron was first detected on 27 November there have been seven deaths from it, with an average age of 83.
There’s a big lag on figures due to deaths being investigated by coroners.
There were 7 deaths in England from the Omicron variant up to 16 December 2021. The average age of Covid-19 deaths in general is 83—we don’t know what it was for these Omicron deaths.
The average cost of a child’s funeral is £3,675.
The average funeral costs between £3,700 and £3,900 according to insurers, although some fees may be waived in the case of a deceased child.
This is the cost of an average funeral in 2016 according to a survey by insurers Royal London. Another firm puts the cost slightly higher. The cost of burying a child may be lower in some areas, as councils often waive or discount burial fees for under-16s.
New laws on workplace rights have come into effect.
Incorrect. The government has made a statement to parliament saying they intend to introduce new laws to change workers’ rights. But these new rights haven’t been passed as law and so aren’t in effect.
The recent deaths of four British Airways pilots could be linked to the Covid-19 vaccines.
There is no evidence that the deaths were linked in any way, and no information has been provided about their vaccination status.
14 million GP appointments are missed every year.
Perhaps surprisingly, no-one routinely collects this information.
That’s one estimate, based on a survey of 500 GPs in 2015. No-one routinely collects information about the total number of missed GP appointments in England.
27% of Conservative voters say they will ditch Boris Johnson over bike lanes.
A survey by the campaign group Fair Fuel UK was covered by The Mail on Sunday, but has several flaws.
There are too many problems with this survey to draw this conclusion.
An image shows a World War Two veteran crying during a parade because he is the last survivor of his battle group.
The identity of the man and reason for his tears have been debated, and remain unclear.
This is a picture of man taken during a military parade in Russia in 2007. His identity and the reason for his tears is unknown and has been the subject of much online debate.
Aluminium is in vaccines and is linked to Alzheimer’s, dementia, seizures, autoimmune diseases, SIDs and cancer. Aluminium can accumulate in the brain and cause more damage with each dose.
There is no evidence that aluminium build up in the brain causes the disease. Studies show that the amount of aluminium we can get from vaccines (and food) is not enough to be unsafe.
Jodie Foster said that attacking the rich was “self-defense”.
The real source of this comment is uncertain, but it may have originated on Twitter in 2014.
Incorrect. There is no evidence that Ms Foster has ever said this.
Humans kill 1,300 fellow humans every day.
This is broadly correct if just considering homicides and not including war or terrorism.
British workers put in longer hours for lower pay than German workers.
The government has “sneaked through” an amendment to legislation governing Personal Independence Payments.
The government didn’t formally consult the Social Security Advisory Committee, which it’s normally supposed to refer to on changes to social security regulations. But the government can do this if it’s a matter of urgency, which it claims was the case here.
The photo shows the latest migrants taken into England.
The photo was taken in Germany before the coronavirus pandemic.
This photo was not taken in England, it was taken in Germany.
Health minister Nadine Dorries said nurses would understand and accept a 1% pay rise because they have husbands and partners bringing in salaries.
The health minister spoke about nurses’ husbands and partners in a discussion about pay rises, but not exactly as reported in a viral tweet.
This is not exactly what she said, although she did refer to the husbands and partners of nurses in a discussion about the pay rise.
You should stay at home for two weeks after receiving the flu vaccine.
Most flu injections in the UK are inactive and therefore cannot spread between people.
This is exaggerated. Only children who have been vaccinated with the flu vaccine nasal spray should avoid close contact with people who have severely weakened immune systems for two weeks.
A higher proportion of the public say that they are dissatisfied with the NHS than satisfied.
One survey says most people are satisfied with the NHS, another says more of us are dissatisfied. Why the different results?
It’s difficult to say: this is according to one survey commissioned by the BMA. But there are often differences from survey to survey driven by multiple factors. A similar question asked by the British Social Attitudes survey found a majority were satisfied last year.
After nine years of a Conservative government, crime is up 30%.
Incorrect. There’s no perfect measure of crime, but best estimates suggest it has fallen in England and Wales between 2009/10 and 2018/19, under coalition and Conservative governments.
The NHS needs 4 billion a year, but it’s getting 1.6 billion and that figures is set to decrease.
Experts said NHS England needed £4 billion in 2018/19. The government announced in November it will receive £1.6 billion, or £1.9 billion including capital spending.
Experts have previously said that NHS England needed £4 billion in 2018/19. In the Autumn budget 2017 the government announced that it will receive £1.6 billion, or £1.9 billion if capital spending is included.
Amazon sprays all its packaging with toxic pesticides that can be harmful to cats.
A social media post falsely claims that all Amazon packaging is covered in toxic pesticides harmful to cats.
This is not true. This claim originates from another social media post which has since been deleted. Amazon says it doesn’t spray its packaging with toxic pesticides and that its boxes are no different than most other card packaging.
NHS Trusts are in the worst financial crisis of their history, according to NHS Providers, with 80% of acute hospitals in deficit, although the NHS was in surplus in 2010.
The latest figures show that 75% of acute trusts (hospitals) are in deficit.
75% of acute hospitals are in deficit, according to the latest figures.
One million ‘legal migrants’ moved to Britain in 2020/21.
Turning Point UK’s claims are based on assumptions that are not supported by the official data.
There is no data to prove this claim. It relies on information about immigration from the previous year, and makes assumptions about the number of people who would migrate to Britain over the course of 2020 and 2021—despite the pandemic.
Labour’s manifesto would have cost half of HS2.
Labour’s 2019 manifesto set aside £83 billion of additional day-to-day spending by 2023, and there were other costs not included in the manifesto. This is much more than half the current estimated cost of HS2, which is the sum of many years' spending anyway.
Any vaccine that needs to be stored and shipped at -80 degrees isn’t a vaccine. It’s a transfection agent, kept alive so it can infect your cells and transfer genetic material.
The Ebola vaccine had to be stored at temperatures this low too.
One candidate RNA vaccine does have to be stored at close to this temperature. It is still a vaccine though, and other vaccines, such as the Ebola vaccine also had to be this cold. This RNA vaccine is in no way alive, although it does contain genetic material that can be read by human cells.
Three quarters of the Labour Party passed a vote of no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn as leader in 2016.
In June 2016 three quarters of Labour MPs in the House of Commons supported a vote of no confidence in Mr Corbyn. He was re-elected as Labour leader by the wider party, winning 61.8% of the vote.
Three quarters of Labour MPs did so. In the leadership challenge that followed Mr Corbyn won 61.8% of the vote (59% among Labour Party members).
Universal Credit has got 200,000 people into work.
The prime minister is wrong to claim that a government prediction about the benefits of Universal Credit has already come true.
Incorrect. This was the government’s estimate of what Universal Credit would do by 2024/5. It may not be reliable, and can never be measured properly.
On 8 May 2021 the Genocide Act was repealed. Genocide is now legal.
The act was repealed in 2001, but replaced by another law making genocide illegal.
Incorrect. The law was repealed in 2001 and replaced by the International Criminal Court Act that also made genocide illegal.
A 10% rise in immigration leads to a 2% reduction in wages.
Conclusions from a Bank of England report have been repeatedly misquoted.
The Bank of England found that a 10% increase in the proportion of foreign born workers in lower paid service jobs was associated with a near 2% fall in average pay for those jobs, when focusing on particular regions.
The DWP employs 3,300 staff to investigate welfare fraud.
This graphic comparing benefit fraud and tax fraud is wrong. It’s difficult to compare DWP and HMRC, and most of the numbers quoted are incorrect.
As of July 2018 the DWP employed 1,405 full-time equivalent specialists to investigate benefit fraud, and data suggests there may be another 2,000 or so doing related work.
People won’t have to sell their homes under the Conservatives’ social care plans.
Plans announced in the Conservative manifesto included no limit to the amount people pay for adult social care. However, since then the Prime Minister has said there will be a cap.
Most people will be able to defer selling their homes until after they die in order to pay for any kind of social care - although some may not be eligible.
Italy has found that Covid-19 is actually disseminated intravascular coagulation (thrombosis).
This disease has been observed in Covid-19 patients but it’s not correct that patients have that and not Covid-19.
From 21 July to 25 July the UK reported 426 Covid-19 deaths.
A viral Facebook post claims Spain had a much lower Covid-19 death toll than the UK at the end of July. That’s correct but isn’t the best way to compare the risk of getting Covid-19 in each country.
Correct. This figure is the number of deaths registered after a positive test, so will miss out some Covid-19 deaths.
The Treasury said there would be 500,000 to 800,000 jobs lost in the case of a vote in favour of Brexit.
The UK economy has continued to grow since the UK voted to leave the EU.
The UK is going through the biggest squeeze on its living standards since the Napoleonic Wars.
This isn’t quite right, but wage growth is at its lowest level in peacetime since the Napoleonic Wars.
Wage growth between 2010 and 2020 will be the lowest it’s been over any ten year period in peacetime since the Napoleonic Wars. Experts say it was lower around both the First and Second World Wars. There’s more than one way to measure living standards too.
The BBC lost £150 million a year because the licence fee didn’t cover iPlayer until 1 September 2016.
The BBC has said it will make £150 million less in 2016/17 from licence fees than it had expected in 2011, which it attributes to an 'iPlayer loophole'.
The BBC has said that it will make £150 million less in 2016/17 from licence fees than it had expected in 2011, which it attributes to fewer people owning TVs and more people watching programmes online. The BBC doesn’t publish these forecasts so nobody can assess the reliability of this claim.
There are different types of tests for Covid-19 which should be used in different scenarios. PCR tests are considered to be highly accurate and reliable, particularly in symptomatic people.
A viral video shows England and Italian fans clashing at Wembley after the Euro 2020 final.
Claims that a video shows England and Italy fans clashing after the match are inaccurate.
This is untrue. The clip was shared online before the match started, and appears to show fans inside the stadium fighting with other fans who pushed their way in. Some members of both groups are wearing England apparel.
Daily dementia deaths in England in October were at 192.
In 2019 there were around 172 deaths from dementia and Alzheimer’s daily in England.
A no deal Brexit means we wouldn’t have to pay a £39 billion divorce bill to the EU.
Under the withdrawal deal we have to pay the EU an estimated bill of £39 billion. With no deal, it’s uncertain how much of that we’d have to pay, if anything.
“Tens of thousands” of vaccinations are being administered in Bolton “every single day”.
Official figures put the town’s highest number of people vaccinated in a single day at 5,465, not tens of thousands.
This is wrong. Official figures show that the highest number of people vaccinated in Bolton in a single day is 5,465.
A photo shows two bags of donated blood, one lighter red and one almost black, and says the redder one is from a non-vaccinated person and the darker one is from a vaccinated person.
A picture of two donations of blood claims they come from unvaccinated and vaccinated donors.
NHS Blood and Transplant says it has observed no difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated people’s blood.
Germany’s biggest export market is America.
Correct, Germany exported €111 billion worth of goods and services to the USA in 2017.
EU nationals have fallen as a percentage of those joining the NHS.
EU nationals make up a similar percentage of the NHS workforce in England now as they did in 2016.
EU nationals made up 8% of new staff (whose nationality was known) joining the NHS in England in the year to June 2018. That compares to 11% in the year to June 2016. It’s possible that the number in June 2016 was unusually high.
The Taylor Review found that 58% of people working on zero hour contracts did not want more hours.
Around 780,000 people were estimated to be on zero hours contracts in mid-2018.
Incorrect, it was actually 68%, which refers to people on the contracts who’ve specified a view of their hours. It’s 57% if you include people who didn’t specify a view. Newer official figures put the same figures at around 72% and 63% respectively.
The amount of income tax paid by the super-rich has fallen from £4.4 billion to £3.5 billion since 2009.
The amount of income tax collected from the wealthiest in 2009 was unusual as people sought to avoid a tax rise in 2010.
The numbers are correct—up to 2014/15—but it's not a fair comparison. Tax rates changed in 2010 and some rich people moved their income around to avoid tax, which distorts the figures.
4,717 Covid-19 deaths out of the 0-59 year-old UK population means a 0.009% fatality rate.
This is wrong on a few levels. The death data is for England alone, and only for those dying in hospital after a positive test, and this calculation only works if every single person aged 0-59 has been infected with Covid.
3.9 million kangaroos are killed for leather.
All three companies use kangaroo, or k-leather in some of their football boots.
This is an overestimate, based on the most recent data. Just under 1.5 million kangaroos and wallabies killed commercially in 2017 in Australia. We don’t know how many of those 1.5 million are used for leather.
The UK would pay 62% more into the EU budget than it gets back in spending by 2022 if it stays in the EU.
The next EU budget is being planned to exclude the UK, and we also don’t know for sure what would happen to the UK’s rebate if it stayed in the EU.
This can’t be known, because we don’t yet know what the EU budget will look like for 2021-27, and it is being planned on the assumption that the UK is not a part of it.
The £20 note shows a 5G tower giving off emissions and a coronavirus symbol.
The so-called 5G tower is actually Margate lighthouse, and there’s no evidence 5G can hurt you.
The ‘5G tower’ is Margate Lighthouse and the ‘coronavirus’ is based on a famous staircase at the Tate Britain art gallery.
The vaccine is causing new daily cases of Covid-19 in the UK, or at least isn’t stopping them.
There are more daily cases than July of last year despite high vaccine coverage.
We have real world evidence and data from trials showing that the vaccines do reduce your chances of catching Covid-19, and vastly decrease your chances of getting seriously ill and dying from it.
If I drank cordial and then take a test I would test positive because of the drink in my mouth.
A post on Facebook claims the tests are a ‘big farce’ because cordial appears to test positive.
Government guidance says you should wait 30 minutes after eating or drinking to take a test to reduce the risk of spoiling the test.
The Resolution Foundation brought out a report this week saying we were on course for the biggest increase in inequality since Thatcher.
By several headline measures, it’s fallen gradually across the bulk of UK households in the past ten years.
That was its bottom-line judgement about income inequality. As the report itself says, this is only a projection. It’s based on assumptions about current trends in the economy, and the future of the economy is especially uncertain now the UK is leaving the EU.
A report suggests an independent Scotland would have to make public expenditure reductions.
The report, commissioned by the Scottish National Party, actually says that public spending could continue to grow. This does depend on sufficient growth in the economy after independence.
61% of coronavirus deaths in Norway are in care facilities.
A widely shared Facebook post wrongly claims that 58% of Scotland’s coronavirus deaths took place in care homes.
Correct up to May.This was reported by the ECDC.
Only 32 vaccinated people have been hospitalised with Covid.
This needs context. A study looking at some people who were hospitalised for Covid between 8 December and 5 March, found only 32 people were hospitalised three weeks after vaccination.
From September the rules for securing loads on HGVs are changing and a certain way of securing loads will become illegal.
A Facebook post cites the defunct government agency VOSA.
The government knew Covid-19 was no more dangerous than flu before lockdown and flu and Covid-19 are the same thing
This is based on a misunderstanding of the declassification of Covid-19 from a government list of high consequence infectious diseases. It does not mean Covid-19 is not dangerous. Covid-19 is not the same as flu.
The length of time it took to discover thalidomide’s dangers proves more time should be spent researching medicines, particularly Covid-19 vaccines.
An Instagram post which compares the rollout of Covid vaccines with the thalidomide scandal, ignores the context and history these medicines exist in.
Thalidomide underwent a very different research and regulation process to Covid-19 vaccines. There is no evidence so far that any of the Covid-19 vaccines in use in the UK are unsafe for pregnant people.
A picture shows a giant Nubian mummy found in North America.
A picture shared on Facebook does not show a giant mummy found in America, but a normal sized mummy found in Tenerife.
The picture shows a normal sized mummy that was found in the Canary Islands.
Readers have asked us whether it's true that most refugees are male. Of those applying for asylum in the EU recently, more than half have been men aged over 18.
In the EU, 57% of new asylum applicants in the first six months of 2015 were men, 26% were children of both genders, and 18% were women.
There is a Tory plan to raise the pension age to 75.
Facebook posts continue to falsely claim the government is planning to raise the pension age to 75. It is a policy recommendation from the Centre for Social Justice.
This policy was recommended in a report by the Centre for Social Justice think tank, which is chaired by Conservative MP Iain Duncan Smith. The Department for Work and Pensions told us it is not government policy to do this.
Luxembourg benefits the most from being in the EU, getting back 3,304% of what it pays in.
A Facebook post falsely claims that Luxembourg receives the most EU spending, relative to what it pays in.
Incorrect. The amount that Luxembourg received in EU spending in 2018 was roughly 105% of what it paid in to the EU budget. 16 other EU countries received a higher level of spending—relative to what they paid in—than Luxembourg.
People convicted for carrying a blade are spending longer in prison.
Are more people being caught with knives, prosecuted for it and spending longer in prison because of it?
Correct. The average custodial sentence for a knife or offensive weapon possession offence increased by 2.2 months between 2008 and 2017.
If you request gift aid, the charity organisers take 5% of the gift aid before passing it on.
The company, which Captain Tom’s daughter is a director of, helped set the fundraiser up but receives no money from it.
If a donor adds Gift Aid onto their donation, JustGiving deducts a 5% Gift Aid processing service fee. This is collected separately from the donations made.
Boris Johnson’s Brexit proposals would lead to the kind of hit to the economy experienced in the financial crash.
Government analysis estimated GDP and wages will be lower following Brexit than if the UK remained in the EU. It’s wrong to say the analysis says GDP and wages will fall, as Chuka Umunna claimed.
This is an unfair comparison as it equates real drops in GDP and wages during the financial crisis to the loss of potential earnings over longer time periods as a result of Brexit.
The lockdown began on 16 March 2020, when Matt Hancock told the House of Commons that all unnecessary social contact should cease.
Matt Hancock claimed lockdown began a week before Boris Johnson instructed the country to ‘stay at home’.
Mr Hancock did say this, but it was not until 23 March 2020 that Boris Johnson told the country that people ‘must’ stay at home and certain businesses must close. Government ministers have previously described this second date as the start of lockdown. There is no official government definition of ‘lockdown’.
86% of children suffered an adverse reaction to the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine in clinical trials.
86% of 12 to 15 year-olds reported a sore arm after vaccination.
This figure is correct, but ignores vital context. The adverse reaction in question was pain at the injection site, an extremely common side effect for many vaccines. Most of the study participants (aged 12 to 15 years old) reported only mild or moderate pain.
Liaison therapy has been rolled out to over 90% of A&Es, of which half are open 24/7.
This is correct, although only 13% of hospitals offer what’s called a ‘core 24’ standard of service.
Female-titled storms and hurricanes are more deadly.
The claim that more people die in storms with female names, like Eunice, is based on flawed research. Better evidence suggests that the name makes no difference.
This is not true. It comes from a research paper that was subsequently shown to be flawed.
EU rules mean we cannot take VAT off energy bills.
Would energy bills be lower if we left the EU? We could cut VAT but beyond that it’s uncertain.
Michael Gove, Boris Johnson and Gisela Stuart
That’s right. EU rules mean we cannot reduce VAT on household energy any lower than the 5% that’s currently charged. All EU member countries would have to agree any changes to these rules.
One of Nicola Sturgeon’s Covid advisors claimed Covid-19 vaccines were 100% safe for children.
The advisor said the Pfizer vaccine was 100% effective in an interview. This was later corrected.
The UK economy is growing more quickly than any of the other G7 countries.
Germany and the UK both grew at the same rate in 2016, according to the latest data available. It may yet be revised.
In 2016, the UK economy seems to have grown faster than any G7 country bar Germany, which grew at essentially the same rate.
There isn’t convincing evidence that this is the case.
This is a list of criminal accusations and convictions against members of the House of Commons in 2022.
This list was supposed to describe the crimes of members of the US Congress more than 20 years ago, and even then it wasn’t verifiable.
False. The list supposedly described members of the US Congress more than 20 years ago, and even then it wasn’t verifiable.
Councils are making it a criminal offence to be poor.
Court orders used to tackle rough sleeping can lead to criminal penalties.
It’s considerably more complicated than that. Councils and police are often responding to perceived anti-social behaviour from rough sleepers rather than poverty or homelessness in itself, but to address it they do use powers that can, directly or indirectly, lead to a criminal penalty.
25% of coronavirus deaths in Wales are in care facilities.
Correct up to May. This was reported by the ECDC based on figures from the Office for National Statistics.
The total number of murders in London, even excluding victims of terrorism, has risen by 38% since 2014.
It’s correct that in February, more people were murdered in London than in New York, but New York’s overall homicide rate is higher, though falling.
Mostly correct. The number of homicides (not just murders) increased from 84 in 2014 to 116 in 2017. Over a longer period, the number of homicides in London has remained at around 100 per year.
Doctors have concerns about the mRNA vaccine’s long term effect on fertility.
False. The NHS recommends that pregnant women get vaccinated, and there is no evidence the vaccines affect fertility.
Various social media posts claim to show “the world’s tiniest poisonous snake” or a killer worm in a green pepper.
A viral video claims to show a poisonous snake in a pepper. It doesn’t.
It doesn’t show this. The creature is probably a nematode parasite that is unlikely to be harmful to humans.
Vaccines are incompatible with human life, and being vaccinated while pregnant or breastfeeding may be unsafe.
An Instagram post takes a tragic story of an infant’s death and uses it to make baseless claims about vaccine safety.
Incorrect. Being vaccinated while pregnant or breastfeeding is recommended as safe.
A poster from the MHRA makes various claims about the vaccines and importance of Yellow Card reports.
The MHRA has confirmed that a poster spreading on social media which makes claims about vaccine approvals does not come from them.
This poster is not actually from the MHRA.
Fruit Shoot and oranges can test positive for Covid-19 using a lateral flow test.
What looks like a positive result is actually just the lateral flow test breaking due to it being used improperly.
No, they can’t. What looks like a positive test result is actually just the test breaking as a result of it being used incorrectly.
915 children were admitted with malnutrition in Cambridge hospitals between 2015 and 2020. There were 656 similar admissions at Newcastle hospitals, and 656 at the Royal Free London hospitals.
Three hospitals say they had far fewer child malnutrition admissions than was reported. Other questions remain unresolved.
These numbers seem to refer to all admissions, not children only. The correct figures for children are 33, 71 and 11.
According to German TV, there were 2.2 million at the People’s Vote march in London on Saturday 19 October.
German TV did not say there were 2.2 million people, and the number was most likely in the low hundreds of thousands.
We’ve seen no evidence any German TV station said this. Best estimates suggest the number was in the low hundreds of thousands. Two million is an implausible estimate.
There are 10,000 people with Covid-19 in hospital in Wales, and 200 in critical care.
The latest data from the Welsh government suggests the correct figure is actually more like 500.
Welsh government figures show that in the week up to 9 December there were an average of 526 general and acute beds in hospital occupied for Covid-19 related reasons, and 39 invasively ventilated beds.
We’re spending record levels on our NHS—£149 billion a year.
We spent almost £150 billion on healthcare across the UK in 2016/17 and a further £31 billion on social care for adults and children.
That’s how much public spending on health across the UK came to in 2016/17. Most, but not all of this money goes to the NHS.
Jo Johnson became a director at Dyson a week after his brother Boris Johnson said in a series of texts that he would fix a tax issue that might have affected the company’s staff.
Jo Johnson joined Dyson’s university, not the company, in February, but the texts were sent in March.
Jo Johnson became a director of the Dyson Institute for Engineering and Technology which is not the same as the Dyson engineering company itself, on 18 February, before his brother’s text exchange.
Fuel prices are not connected to oil prices.
A Facebook post made it look like the fuel price is rising faster than oil, because it used fuel prices that were not adjusted for inflation.
Fuel prices are connected to oil prices, although other factors like tax are important. This claim is based on a misleading comparison between inflation-adjusted oil prices and non-adjusted fuel prices.
There are 790 more prison officers since the beginning of 2015.
The number of frontline prison officers is falling and has been since 2010, although there were increases in recruitment last year.
This is wrong because it’s just looking at the number of people being appointed and the number of people leaving. It doesn’t factor in people who are promoted or re-graded within the service, or the hours they work. The number of prison officers is falling.
Wages are lower in 2015 than they were before the crisis.
Average weekly earnings (including bonuses) were lower in July 2015 than they were just before the 2008 recession, after accounting for inflation and seasonal movements in pay.
The Conservatives got 3.5 million more people back to work, or 1,000 a day.
Since 2010, when the Conservatives entered government, employment levels have increased by 3.7 million. That can’t necessarily be attributed to any specific government policies.
Since 2010, when the Conservatives entered government, employment levels have increased by 3.7 million, over 1,000 people per day on average. That can’t necessarily be attributed to any specific government policies.
A picture shows a person installing 5G wearing a hazmat radiation suit.
It’s more likely that they’re cleaning the mobile phone tower in a suit to protect their skin and clothes.
The person was probably not installing 5G, but wearing protective clothing to clean a 4G mobile phone tower.
Accounts on Twitter resharing a post about journalism failing to capture the mood of the country is a coordinated bot effort.
The viral message began on Facebook in late April.
Everybody who’s self-isolating is entitled, in addition to the equivalent of the living wage and statutory sick pay, to help in extreme circumstances from their local councils and also to a £500 payment to help them with self-isolation.
People are not entitled to the equivalent of the living wage while they self-isolate, and a £500 support payment is only for those on benefits or in hardship.
Employees who are self-isolating are entitled to statutory sick pay which is not equivalent to the living wage. Support from councils in extreme circumstances is an alternative, not additional, to the £500 payment, and only available to those on benefits or in hardship.
BBC Children in Need has given Black Lives Matter £10 million.
The BBC charity is matching Stormzy’s £10m pledge to causes tackling racial inequality in the UK.
This is incorrect. Children in Need has pledged £10 million over ten years to benefit young black people in the UK. The money is not specifically going to Black Lives Matter.
A new study shows hydroxychloroquine can increase Covid-19 survival rates by 200%.
Patients may have been given more of the drug because they lived longer—not the other way around.
This very small study has not been peer-reviewed and it does not show that hydroxychloroquine can effectively treat Covid-19.
Britain is the third largest military power in the world.
A think tank ranked the UK third in the world for “military might” but this isn’t the only way to measure military strength.
A think tank ranked the UK third in the world for “military might” based on judgements about countries’ defence spending, nuclear power, infrastructure, personnel and readiness. But this isn’t the only way to measure military strength and a number of others rank the UK slightly lower.
Private renting is making millions of people ill.
A quarter of private renters agree that housing worries have made them ill. The Guardian claimed private renting is the cause which confuses correlation and causation.
A survey found almost a quarter of private renters agree that housing worries have made them ill in the past year. This doesn’t mean the sickness was specifically caused by renting privately as opposed to any other type of housing situation.
More people are being prosecuted for carrying a blade.
Correct. There was a 12% increase in the number of prosecutions for possession of an article with blade or point in England and Wales between 2016 and 2017, to just under 9,000. It’s been rising since at least 2013.
1.9 million people in England and Wales said they’d been victims of domestic abuse last year, and it kills 2 women every week.
And two women a week are killed by partners, ex-partners, ‘emotional rivals’, and family members.
The country’s most senior judge has said that women shouldn’t be able to wear veils in criminal trials.
Newspaper reports of what Lord Neuberger, President of the Supreme Court, thinks about women wearing veils in court are right—unlike the last time around.
Correct. The head of the Supreme Court said that witnesses whose evidence is being challenged should have to remove a veil covering their face.
Health and social care will account for 40% of all public spending by next year.
Health will account for around 40% of the day-to-day spending that can be budgeted by departments, which itself only accounts for about half of government spending.
It’s been estimated that health and social care will account for around 40% of the planned public sector budget by 2024/25, but this is only about half of day-to-day spending as it doesn’t include things like welfare and pension payments.
The Conservatives plan to take on 6,000 more police officers in 12 months at a cost of £750 million.
Labour’s costing for more police officers appears smaller because it doesn’t take into account recruitment or training.
Correct. This covers police salaries as well as any costs associated with recruitment and training.
Pelicans can take their spines out of their mouths to cool themselves down.
A widely-shared meme actually shows birds yawning.
False. Pelicans don’t do this—pictures shared alongside this claim actually just show birds yawning.
The trees in a Serbian town were being felled as part of a redevelopment project, and were due to be replaced.
We have found no evidence that’s the case.
Self-harming by teenage girls has doubled in the last 20 years.
The number of hospital admissions for girls under 18 because of self-harm increased by around 84% between 1997/98 and 2016/17.
The number of hospital admissions in England for girls under the age of 18 because of self-harm has doubled in that time. We don’t know how much of that is down to improved recording or to an actual increase in self-harm.
A peer-reviewed research paper says that the new coronavirus has been artificially engineered.
There is still no evidence to suggest that the new coronavirus was man-made.
A Norwegian virologist has made claims about the non-natural origins of the new coronavirus. But this claim is not in a new peer-reviewed paper he co-authored. The scientific community widely agrees that the virus was not artificially engineered.
Former housing minister, Gavin Barwell, failed to give the go-ahead to a safety review, despite it having been delayed for years.
Following the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower in London on the 14th June we looked at whether or not the government has delayed reviewing fire safety regulations.
A review of the fire safety part of building regulations was recommended to the government in 2013. The government said it would conduct a review and publish updated regulations in 2016/17. The regulations remain unchanged. The government says the work is ongoing.
An image from NASA shows the Northern Lights from space.
This image of the Northern Lights from space is a computer generation, but many real images of the phenomenon from space exist.
This particular image is a computer generation, not a real photo, although many real photos of the Northern Lights taken from space exist.
Ethylene oxide is used to sterilise lateral flow tests. Ethylene oxide is not safe.
Posts on social media are wrong to warn that the ethylene oxide used to sterilise some Covid-19 tests makes them dangerous.
Exposure to ethylene oxide can be unsafe. However, it is commonly used to sterilise medical equipment, including lateral flow tests, and does not pose any danger in this way.
In the UK we get 52 weeks of maternity pay. The EU sets maternity pay at 14 weeks.
This is incorrect for the UK. Maternity pay can be for up to 39 weeks. The EU minimum standard is 14 weeks of paid maternity leave.
1.3 million people are unemployed in the UK.
There were 17,000 fewer police officers in 2015 than in 2010.
Andrew Marr correctly quoted a number of figures on reductions in welfare spending, council funding and police numbers under the Coalition, during an interview on his show.
Remaining in the EU gives British businesses the right to buy and sell across Europe without tariffs or checks.
The EU has a 40% tariff on food from Africa.
This was claimed by MP George Freeman when outlining the UK’s commitment to developing nations.
False. There isn’t just one flat tariff on food. Regardless, the EU doesn’t apply tariffs on the vast majority of African countries, due to trade agreements and efforts to support developing nations.
Jeremy Corbyn has already accepted that there is going to be a run on the pound in the event of a Labour government.
Labour is not expecting a run on the pound, but both Corbyn and McDonnell support “scenario-plans” which consider what to do if it should happen under their government.
Labour has not accepted this. But some party members do want to “scenario-plan” for how they would deal with this issue in government.
It will cost the UK £378 billion to extend the transition period between the UK and the EU.
Most studies into the economic impacts of Brexit show leaving the customs union and single market will mean the UK economy is smaller compared to remaining.
This estimate is based on a one-sided analysis which doesn’t seem to factor in any economic benefit of retaining free trade with the EU during the transition period. Most studies suggest these benefits outweigh potential gains from trade agreements and deregulation after the transition period ends.
A no deal Brexit means UK fishing waters are back in our control.
This is largely correct. The UK will become an independent coastal state though there will still be other international obligations on fisheries the UK needs to abide by.
Evidence on whether glyphosate causes cancer seems contradictory. Cancer Research UK told us that there is some evidence that people exposed to very high levels of it could have a slightly increased risk of certain types of cancer.
Only 3,774 people under 65 have died of Covid in the UK.
Just over 17,000 people under 65 died of the disease in England and Wales, up to the end of November 2021.
Incorrect. Up to the end of November 2021, 17,095 people under 65 died of Covid in England and Wales alone.
50,000 retail jobs were axed in the first half of this year.
Over the long term the number of UK retail jobs is stable, but jobs in other sectors are growing.
This refers to businesses in all sectors who publicly announced job losses. Over the long term the number of UK retail jobs appear stable, but jobs in other sectors are growing.
US food standards allow for maggots in orange juice.
US food standards set limits above zero for maggots in orange juice, beyond which enforcement action is mandatory.
NHS Test and Trace has employed about 20,000 staff.
This is not true. In December it employed “over 50,000” people.
Viruses can’t exist outside of computer animations.
A Facebook post also suggests that viruses aren’t real.
This is completely untrue. Knowledge about viruses has existed since the late 19th Century, and are known to cause many human illnesses including the common cold, smallpox and herpes.
Breastfeeding reduces the mother’s risk of dying from heart disease.
A study finding a link between breastfeeding and a reduced risk of heart disease could not confirm whether there was a causal link between the two.
The study in question found a link between the two, but not that one necessarily caused the other.
We have cut further education budgets by 50%.
This funding pays for “further education” such as classroom and workplace learning for people aged 19 and over.
Incorrect. Spending on core adult skills fell by 40% in England between 2010/11 and 2015/16, taking inflation into account. Changes to funding make recent comparisons more complex but the overall picture is that non-apprenticeship core funding is set to fall slightly between 2016/17 and 2019/20, and adult apprenticeship funding is set to significantly rise.
The Conservatives have overseen the deepest cuts to post-16 education ever.
An analysis of the claim by the Shadow Education Secretary Lucy Powell that the Conservatives have overseen the deepest cuts to post-16 education ever.
Last Parliament saw spending on 16-19 education fall by 4% a year (after inflation). This contrasts with an increase of 8% a year on average between 1998 and 2009, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies (we don't have comparable data before then).
Even when including those with pre-existing conditions, for the under 60s there is a 1 in 300,000 chance of death, for the over 60s there is a 99% survival rate and for the over 80s it’s still 90%.
David Warburton MP made a number of claims about Covid-19 statistics in an article for the Somerset County Gazette.
The death rate given for under 60s is definitely far too low. The survival rate for over-60s appears to be too high, while the survival rate for the over 80s is more plausible. It is impossible to calculate a true death rate because we do not know how many people have been infected.
Asking what’s in the vaccine before having it is classed as an offence.
There have been no tests to assess the safety of combining or overlapping Covid-19 and flu vaccines.
There have been a number of studies. Research suggests they’re safe and effective. Further work into their combination is ongoing.
An image shows litter left by Extinction Rebellion environmental protestors in Hyde Park.
The litter was left after an event promoting cannabis use on 20 April.
The litter was actually left following an event in Hyde Park promoting cannabis use.
Eating plenty of colourful foods could reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease according to research.
It was research into the impact of dietary intake of flavonoids on subjective cognitive decline.
This research did not assess the risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
A photo shows Fidel Castro holding a baby Justin Trudeau.
The picture is of the Cuban leader with Trudeau’s late brother, Michel.
The baby in the picture is Michel Trudeau, the PM’s late brother. The photo was taken on 1976 trip to Cuba, when Justin Trudeau would have been four.
14 million people are living in poverty.
The UK is the sixth- or ninth-richest country in terms of GDP, and the 20th- or 27th-richest in terms of GDP per capita.
Correct for the UK in 2017/18, according to the main measure of relative poverty used in the UK.
Widely-used images of a Ukrainian woman wounded following an airstrike near Kharkiv actually depict events from 2018.
Posts on Facebook claim that photographs of a Ukrainian woman injured after an airstrike near Kharkiv actually depict events from 2018. This isn’t the case, and the images are genuine.
This is false, the photographs are genuine and were taken at the outset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Italy is hit hard, experts say, only because they have the oldest population in Europe.
Whilst it is true that an older population has contributed to a high number of deaths in Italy, it may not be the sole reason.
Mathematical modellers claimed tens of millions of people were going to die from Covid-19.
Untrue. A report by Imperial College presented to the government suggested that 510,000 people in the UK could die if nothing was done in response to the disease.
Asylum seekers are offered a £300 maternity payment for having a baby.
Costa Coffee is demanding customers show proof of medical status before you can sit in.
In Ireland, indoor hospitality is only available to those who can prove they have been fully vaccinated or have recovered from Covid in the last six months.
A photo shows a sign outside a Costa Coffee in Ireland explaining that adults who want to dine indoors need to show proof of full vaccination or that they have recovered from Covid-19 in the last six months. These are the rules for indoor dining in Ireland.
Covid-19 starts with a sore throat lasting 3-4 days. It then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and the lungs, causing pneumonia, which takes about 5 or 6 days. With pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty breathing. The nasal congestion makes you feel like you’re drowning.
This is a roughly accurate description of the most common symptoms, although not everyone with Covid-19 gets pneumonia. The symptoms may not come in this order or at these times. There have been no reports of sufferers experiencing nasal congestion that makes them feel they are drowning.
Dominic Cummings’ sister, Alice Cummings, is director of Idox group, which runs the new NHS track and trace and trace app and was involved in the UK’s postal voting system.
An Alice Cummings is a director at Idox but she’s not his sister and the company has nothing to do with the app.
The Alice Cummings who is director at Idox is not his sister. The company Idox has been involved with postal voting, but has nothing to do with the NHS’ track and trace app.
You cannot catch Covid-19 person to person.
This is incorrect. Like other coronaviruses, Covid-19 is spread via respiratory droplets from an infected person to an uninfected person.
Police numbers fell under Boris Johnson as Mayor of London.
Police officer numbers fluctuated during Boris Johnson’s time as Mayor of London.
Police officer numbers were higher when Boris Johnson left office compared to when he entered office, but were lower since his first budget as Mayor.
Police engagement with communities isn’t happening.
There’s evidence from the police watchdog that the capacity for crime prevention work has been declining but also evidence that it improved last year. The number of PCSOs decreased by 40% between March 2010 and March 2017.
The energy market is mainly owned by the French government.
The French government is a major shareholder in the energy company EDF but not in any of the other Big Six providers. Other international companies have stakes in other members of the Big Six.
Rife machines can cure over 5,000 diseases including all cancers, infections and more.
Cancer Research UK says there is no reliable evidence to use Rife machines as a treatment for cancer.
There isn’t sufficient evidence to back up this claim. Cancer Research UK says that “there is no reliable evidence to use it as a treatment for cancer”.
Admissions for obesity have more than doubled in the last four years.
The number of obesity related hospital admissions has increased in the last four years, and obesity levels have remained roughly the same since 2010.
Admissions with a primary diagnosis of obesity are at roughly the same level as they were in 2012/13, including those with a secondary diagnosis the figure has doubled since then. But a secondary diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean this is why the patient was admitted.
An image shows Israelis dressing up as the burning Twin Towers for the Jewish holiday Purim.
The students wore the outfits to a nightclub in Chester in 2013, and it had nothing to do with Purim.
Incorrect. The picture is of two students who wore the costumes for Halloween at a nightclub in Chester, England.
Cutting corporation tax will boost the growth rate of the economy.
There’s evidence this could happen over the long term, but it’s too limited and uncertain to put specific numbers on the effect. Cutting the tax is expected to cost more money than it raises through higher growth or investment.
Just 10% of children’s books in the UK in 2019 had at least one character from a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic background.
A BBC News article said 10% of children’s books have an ethnic minority character, but this figure comes from flawed research.
This figure comes from flawed research and is not reliable. It’s also important to consider that many books in the survey did not have human characters.
Two men were sentenced to eight months in prison for throwing bacon at a mosque.
Mateusz Pawlikowski and Piotr Czak-Zukowski were both sentenced to two eight-month sentences, to run concurrently, for criminal damage and a racial/religious public order offence after verbally abusing and throwing bacon at a worshipper in a mosque.
People who were undergoing chemotherapy have been told that they should not receive vaccines, and should stay away from people who had received vaccines, and now because of Covid-19 this has all changed.
A video on Facebook makes various claims about Covid-19 vaccines which are wrong or could use more context.
People who are immunosuppressed are advised not to have live vaccinations and not to be in close contact with people who have received certain live vaccinations, but the Covid-19 vaccines in use in the UK are not live vaccines and people undergoing chemotherapy have been prioritised to receive them.
The vaccine could cause women and girls to become infertile.
These include common falsehoods that mRNA vaccines will change your DNA (they won’t) and that the vaccines aren’t safe and effective (they are).
Homeopathic nosodes could help with vaccine side effects.
A post on Instagram claims that a used plaster could be used to help side effects from unspecified vaccines.
There is no evidence to indicate that this is true. A 2010 House of Commons Science and Technology Committee report on homeopathy said that homeopathic remedies perform no better than placebos.
Lateral flow tests could cause cancer or damage DNA because the swabs used to collect a sample from the user are sterilised with ethylene oxide.
There is no evidence that using something that has been sterilised with ethylene oxide, such as a Covid-19 swab, is harmful.
Overexposure to ethylene oxide itself can cause health problems such as cancer, but there is no suggestion that using something that has been sterilised by ethylene oxide is harmful. It is routinely used to sterilise medical equipment.
Japanese-owned companies have made it clear that their investment in the UK depends on access to the Single Market.
140,000 people are employed by Japanese-owned companies in the UK, according to estimates from the Japanese government.
The Japanese government has sent a formal statement to the EU and UK, outlining what Japanese businesses would like a future trade agreement to look like. It raises the possibility that Japanese firms will relocate their European base from the UK to mainland Europe if barriers to investment are too high.
The government's impact assessment showed that we would be £100 million worse off because of the early closure of the Renewables Obligation.
The government says closing the Renewables Obligation to onshore wind early will bring benefits of £160 million.
The government's best estimate is that the net present value of the early closure is about £160 million, a positive figure. The £100 million worse off estimate comes from making different assumptions about how the UK would generate electricity.
Britain will be forced to join an EU army unless we leave the EU.
Incorrect. The UK has a veto on EU military policy so couldn’t be forced to participate in an EU army.
A video shows a person in a body bag in Ukraine smoking a cigarette.
Claims that the video shows a ‘dead body in Ukraine’ smoking are false.
The clip was filmed during the production of a music video for a Russian rapper, in at least 2020.
Before recent reforms, fewer than one in 10 stops and searches led to an arrest. Now the rate is the highest on record.
The use of stop and search powers across England and Wales has fallen significantly over the past few years.
Correct. Figures from 2008-2011 showed 9% of all stops and searches resulted in an arrest. By 2015/16, this was up to 16% - the highest on record.
A peer-reviewed paper from Stanford University shows face masks don’t work.
The ‘peer-reviewed paper from Stanford’ is not from Stanford and may not have been conventionally peer-reviewed.
The paper isn’t from Stanford and is strewn with basic errors.
Covid-19 kills no more than 0.1% of the people who catch it
The real death rate from Covid-19 is probably about five or ten times higher than 0.1%
This is incorrect. The real death rate is probably about five or ten times higher.
The price to buy back hospital PFI contracts is £1 trillion.
Claims on Facebook overestimate the scale of Labour’s hospital PFI contracts.
Incorrect. Although we don’t know the precise figure, the cost to buy back the PFI contracts would likely be close to the existing values of the contracts – over ten times lower than the £1 trillion claimed.
Smoking ban credited for 74% drop in heart attacks in Scotland.
An article in The Herald misleadingly suggested the 2006 Scottish smoking ban was behind a 74% drop in heart attacks since 1990.
The research reported shows the 74% drop in heart attacks since 1990 is due to a reduction in the risk from smoking, cholesterol and high blood pressure. It only mentions the ban in passing.
French president Emmanuel Macron gave a speech saying he will no longer sacrifice “my life, my time, my freedom and the adolescence of my daughters” for people who refuse the Covid-19 vaccine.
A speech criticising people who do not get vaccinated has been widely misattributed to French President Emmanuel Macron.
Mr Macron did not say this. These comments were made by Italian journalist Selvaggia Lucarelli on social media, and have been wrongly attributed to Mr Macron.
There are 16,481 fewer beds in hospitals since 2010.
This is in the right ballpark, but it doesn’t seem to be the best comparison. It seems to compare the number of beds at different times of the year, but the number available fluctuates seasonally. Comparing July-September in 2010 and 2017, the decrease in beds available overnight in England is closer to 13,200.
Covid-19 vaccines don’t meet the legal definition of a vaccine.
It is unclear what legal definition is being referred to, but Covid-19 vaccines meet the legal criteria for medicinal products.
The UK provided 20% of the new cases of coronavirus in the world on Sunday, 17 October 2021.
There are things to take into account when you see UK data compared with other countries.
It’s more like 15% of reported cases, and that may be influenced by different reporting times between countries and delays caused by the weekend. The seven day average is a better measure to compare and on 18 October this showed the UK had 10% of new cases.
Satellite images showing high levels of sulphur dioxide above China are possible evidence of mass cremations of people who have died from coronavirus.
Images claiming to show high levels of sulphur dioxide above Wuhan are not based on real satellite data.
False. The maps are not satellite images, and do not show actual levels of sulphur dioxide. They are simply forecasts based on historical data and weather patterns.
The Prime Minister may not have had Covid-19 and when he was admitted to hospital staff were asked to sign the Official Secrets Act and two who refused were dismissed.
The claims first appeared in the Dorset Eye and now say they may be satire, but some people seem to have believed them.
This is incorrect. It is based on a satirical blog post.
Theresa May claimed expenses for a £1.59 paper clip.
We couldn’t find a claim for this exact amount or for a single paperclip, though Mrs May did claim expenses for paperclips along with other items of office stationery.
Wages are rising at their fastest rate for a decade.
Weekly wages in cash terms are rising at their fastest rate in a decade. But accounting for inflation it’s only the fastest for two years.
That’s correct but it doesn’t account for inflation. When you factor in rising prices, real wage growth is at its highest in two years.
On average there are less than 10 deaths a week from Covid-19.
Julia Hartley-Brewer claimed on talkRADIO that fewer than 10 people a week are now dying from Covid-19. This is untrue.
This is untrue. At the time this claim was made, there was a seven-day average of 8.6 Covid-19 deaths each day. In the seven days before this was claimed, 57 Covid-19 deaths were reported in the UK.
The Covid-19 vaccines breach the Nuremberg Code.
This video makes a number of false claims about the Covid-19 pandemic.
Multiple medical ethicists have told us that this is an inappropriate and unsubstantiated claim.
This is an underestimate. Snakes kill around 378 people per day.
Britain gives away £13 billion a year in foreign aid.
An image saying foreign aid funding should be diverted to the NHS has gone viral. But is it right about the size of the UK government’s foreign aid budget?
The UK spent £13.4 billion on foreign aid in 2016. Provisional figures for 2017 put the amount at just over £13.9 billion.
Theresa May blocked NHS funding for a brand of glucose sensor which is a lifeline to diabetics.
The FreeStyle Libre glucose sensor has been available on the NHS across the UK since November 2017, at the moment it is up to local NHS boards whether or not it is available in their area.
The sensor has been available for funding on the NHS across the UK since November 2017, but not all areas have chosen to make it available yet. Since this claim was first made, it's been announced that from April 2019 it will be available to all patients in England who meet certain criteria.
The UK is now capable of producing 80% of our own PPE.
The Prime Minister claimed during PMQs that the UK is now capable of producing 80% of its own PPE.
This is based on a snapshot figure from a year ago, and doesn’t include gloves which make up around 45% of the UK’s PPE demand.
Getting a vaccine may exacerbate ME/CFS symptoms in people who already have these illnesses, but there is no data from clinical trials on this.
Government proposals on raising the state pension age will see 36.9 million people having to work longer.
Only around six million people are affected by the government’s most recent proposals. 32 million people already have a pensionable age higher than 66 years as things stand. The government’s proposals to bring the rise forward by seven years would bring this up to 38 million (based on 2016 population figures).
Child poverty and pensioner poverty are up since 2010.
There are lots of ways to measure poverty. Some show that child and pensioner poverty have increased slightly in recent years, but others show it has been stable or fallen.
Relative poverty has increased or stayed flat among children and pensioners, depending on how you measure it, but absolute poverty has fallen in some cases. We’ve asked the Department for Work and Pensions whether any of these changes are statistically significant.
The UK has a trade surplus with America.
The UK runs a trade surplus with the USA and a deficit with the EU.
Correct. The UK’s trade surplus with the USA was around £34 billion in the year to June 2017.
The average distance travelled to a Covid-19 test centre is now 5.8 miles, down from 6.4 miles last week.
There are some issues with the data released by the government.
This distance is one-way, measured as the crow flies and does not include people who turn down a test based on distance.
A picture shows a tasselled wobbegong shark.
A picture of a goosefish isn’t a tasselled wobbegong, as one Twitter user claimed.
It doesn’t. The picture shows a goosefish, although tasselled wobbegong sharks are real.
The UK-US trading relationship is worth over £190 billion per year.
Correct, looking at the value of what each country exports in goods and services to the other. The total value of this in 2018 came to around £191 billion.
Covid-19 is not a virus, but a bacterium being amplified by 5G which causes inflammation and hypoxia.
Covid-19 patients can get secondary infections from bacteria. Hypoxia and types of inflammation can be symptoms of Covid-19. There’s no proof Covid-19 is in any way related to 5G.
There are 420,000 more people in work now than at the start of the pandemic.
The number of employees is higher than it was pre-pandemic, but the total number of workers, including the self-employed, is lower than it was.
False. There are 420,000 more employees now than in March 2020, but the total number of people in work, including the self-employed, is 600,000 lower than it was before the start of the pandemic.
US patent 2006257852 is for the new coronavirus.
It is not. It is an abandoned patent from 2006 for chemical mixtures related to the SARS virus, which is another type of coronavirus.
Boris Johnson said that wages are rising which is a lie.
Boris Johnson said this in relation to wages over the past year, which are up in real terms.
The coronavirus vaccines have been produced too quickly to be safe.
False. The vaccines in use have all passed multiple stages of animal and human trials and been shown to be safe and effective.
The number of homicides in London was around 250 in 2006, 110 in 2016 and 150 last year.
Over the long term, homicides (including murders) in London are down, even including victims of terrorist incidents.
These aren’t all correct. The Metropolitan Police told us it recorded 172 homicides in 2006, 109 in 2016, and 134 in 2017 (of which 12 were terrorism related).
We’re seeing fewer families in relative poverty in the UK.
It depends how you look at it and what time period you pick. If you take the claim to be referring to the period since 2010, that’s incorrect. The number of children or people living in relative poverty has risen since then, whether or not you include housing costs.
Covid-19 vaccines have caused 859,481 adverse reactions.
Piers Corbyn has falsely claimed vaccines caused over a thousand deaths and nearly a million adverse reactions.
Slightly fewer adverse reactions have been reported but it doesn’t mean they have been caused by the vaccine. The vast majority are normal and clear up within a few days.
Support for Welsh independence was never more than 10%.
Labour introduced the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order in 2005, which was criticised by the coroner’s report following the Lakanal House fire in 2009 criticised the order.
Legislation from 2005 changed the way that businesses have their fire risks assessed.
Concerns about the Fire Safety Order (introduced by the Labour government in 2005) were raised by the inquest into the Lakanal House fire. It was concerned that people carrying out fire risk assessments weren’t necessarily qualified enough and about the scope of the new rules.
Half of nightclubs in London / nationwide have shut in the past eight or ten years.
According to an industry database, half the nightclubs in Great Britain have closed down in the past decade.
An industry database covering Great Britain recorded 45% fewer nightclubs in 2015 compared to 2005. There’s no specific figure for London.
The 17.4 million votes to leave the EU in 2016 was the largest mandate for anything in British political history.
More people voted in the 1992 general election than the 2016 EU referendum, but no single option has received more votes than the vote to leave.
No single electoral option has received more votes in UK history than the vote to leave the EU in 2016. But a handful of referendum options and political parties have received a higher percentage share of a national vote.
3,250 people investigate benefit fraud compared to 300 who investigate tax evasion.
We’ve looked into claims comparing the number of benefit fraud and tax evasion investigators.
This isn’t comparing like-with-like and the DWP figure is out of date. The staff mentioned work on all benefit fraud and error and tax evasion and avoidance, not just the illegal activities.
A&E admissions for alcohol poisoning have doubled.
Headlines refer to A&E admissions when the statistics they're using measure people visiting A&E, regardless of what kind of treatment they get.
The attendance rate to A&E for alcohol poisoning has doubled over six years, according to research. This counts people regardless of what treatment they get and isn't the same as being admitted to a ward. Emergency admissions to a hospital ward due to alcohol have increased by over a half over a period of nine years.
The public won’t be able to claim compensation if unlicensed vaccines damage our health.
Social media posts claim the government is trying to quietly change the rules on unlicensed vaccines, but they’ve missed the point.
They will in some cases. If the product doesn’t meet safety standards or is defective, then the manufacturer is liable. The consultation aside, it’s already true that if the government recommends the roll-out of an unlicensed product, manufacturers can’t usually be sued in civil court for the consequences.
It was the Mayor’s choice to raise the level of the London congestion charge in response to a bailout package offered by the government. The government had only asked the Mayor to bring forward proposals to raise the charge as a bailout condition, not to actually raise the charge.
The Conservative London mayoral candidate claimed Sadiq Khan’s decision to raise the congestion charge was his own. It was essentially a requirement of a government bailout package.
While this is technically accurate, it is misleading to suggest that the Mayor could have simply brought forward proposals, kept the charge as it is, and still receive the bailout. The government’s bailout for TfL was conditional on TfL “urgently bring[ing] forward proposals to widen the scope and levels of these charges.”
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has ordered all MPs to take a 20% pay cut during Covid-19 crisis.
The New Zealand pay cut does not apply to all MPs, and UK MPs can only claim extra money for office costs.
Ms Ardern has given herself, government ministers and public service chief executives a 20% pay cut. This does not cover all MPs.
The UK has sanctioned £258.8 billion of Russian bank assets, while the US has sanctioned £240 billion and the EU £38.8 billion.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office said it has sanctioned Russian bank assets worth more than those sanctioned by the US or EU—but hasn’t explained how it reached its figures.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has not explained how it has calculated these figures or detailed what they represent, so they cannot be verified, and it is unclear whether they are comparable.
The UK has lost 134 million miles of bus routes because private operators choose to make a profit and scrap the ones that don’t.
There were 134 million fewer miles driven by buses in the UK in 2016/17 than in 2006/7. This was driven by a reduction in local authority funded bus miles.
Youth unemployment is lower than many comparable economies.
Youth unemployment in the UK is currently 12.5%, among the lowest it’s been since 2005.
Youth unemployment in the UK is lower than the OECD average. The UK has the 9th lowest rate out of G20 countries, and 4th out of countries in the G7.
The public thinks disruption caused by protests is “completely unacceptable” by a ratio of five to one.
People are strongly against violence or serious disruption at protests, but opinion is more balanced when the inconvenience is smaller.
This is a misleading way to read the data. The balance is more like three to one against “serious disruption”, and less strongly against “minor inconvenience”.
Anti-inflammatories should be used to fight Covid-19.
Anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen may be useful in treating Covid-19 symptoms at home.
A third of stops and searches in London results in something being found.
Writing off current student loans would cost £100 billion.
The true ‘additional’ cost of a policy to write off current student loans, compared to the amount the government already ‘writes off’ from unpaid loans, would be lower than this.
This is roughly the value of current student loans in the UK, including maintenance loans. But the true ‘additional’ cost of a policy to write off current student loans, compared to the amount the government already ‘writes off’ from unpaid loans, would be lower than this.
The ‘P’ on the photo page of passports stands for “pauper” or “peasant”.
A Facebook post falsely claims that the capital ‘P’ which appears on passports under “type” stands for “peasants”.
This is not true. The ‘P’ actually indicates that it is a machine readable passport.
US patents 7897744 and 8506968 are for SARS.
The first number is the US patent number for the SARS virus. The patent application was made by the CDC, but after the outbreak in 2002. The second number is a patent for a SARS vaccine which has now expired.
It can survive for 6-12 hours on fabric and will be killed by normal laundry detergent .
There’s no evidence the virus can survive in clothing and be transmitted this way.
Diabetes prescriptions are costing the NHS in England more than £1 billion a year, according to figures from NHS Digital.
The net ingredient cost in 2017/18 of prescription items for diabetes in England was around £1 billion. But that doesn’t factor in things like discounts the NHS might receive or extra costs.
We can’t know how much it actually costs the NHS. £1 billion was the net ingredient cost in 2017/18 of items for diabetes prescribed in England through NHS primary care settings. There is no available information on what discounts the NHS might receive or extra costs relating to dispensing.
It has become convention that Parliament authorises military action when the UK is not in imminent danger of an attack.
The Prime Minister has the power—through the Crown—to take military action. But in recent years governments have argued that military action be put to a parliamentary vote in non-emergency cases.
Mostly—this has been argued by governments since 2011. But there’s still some question over which circumstances the convention applies under, and it’s not legally binding.
The cladding used on Grenfell Tower was chosen by Ed Miliband to meet EU climate change legislation.
Grenfell Tower was not built by a Labour council.
Incorrect. Ed Miliband did not choose the cladding on Grenfell Tower. There is no evidence we’re aware of that environmental legislation was behind the choice of cladding material.
Bill Gates created the new coronavirus and a vaccine for it.
There is no evidence of a link between coronavirus and 5G.
This is incorrect. The Bill Gates and Melinda Gates Foundation has funded a research institute that has a patent to a different coronavirus. Coronavirus is a large category of viruses that includes the common cold, SARS and the new virus that causes Covid-19.
The Royal British Legion will not be selling poppies in certain places this year due to “upset minorities”.
The charity has routinely said this claim is untrue.
This is incorrect. The Royal British Legion has routinely stated this is untrue.
The government broke a pledge to open GP surgeries from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week.
The government has been criticised by shadow health minister Liz Kendall for not meeting a promise on GP opening hours.
While the pledge appeared in the Conservative 2010 manifesto, it wasn't in the coalition agreement.
Child poverty increased by 250,000 in a single year under the Conservatives.
The number of children in a low-income family increased by 2% between 2013 and 2014, according to HMRC. That's back to roughly the same level as 2010.
This is correct by one measure. According to HMRC the number of children in poverty went from 18% to 20% between 2013 and 2014, an increase of 250,000 children. This is a return to 2010 levels.
Glutaraldehyde is in vaccines and is poisonous if ingested and causes birth defects in animals.
There are trace amounts in some vaccines from manufacturing, and not enough to cause harm.
The same photo shows Jeremy Corbyn wearing an ‘I heart the IRA’ t-Shirt.
The photo of Jeremy Corbyn has been edited.
There have been 2 million apprenticeships created over the past six years, with more planned.
16-18 year olds could see a funding rate cut of between 30% and 50%, based on case studies of three of the most popular types of apprenticeships.
There have been 2.5 million apprenticeships started since 2010. The government aims to create 3 million apprenticeships by 2020.
On 2 November it was reported that 293 Covid-19 fatalities were recorded in just 24 hours.
293 Covid-19 deaths were reported on 2 November, in part because a technical issue meant death recording was delayed over the weekend.
293 Covid-19 deaths were reported on 2 November, but the government says that due to a technical fault affecting death recording, and more general delays in reporting deaths over the weekend, this data likely covers more than one day.
US GDP grew 2.3% in real terms in 2017, according to the IMF. That’s faster than the UK but slower than the EU. The IMF expects US growth to slow slightly in the coming years.
We have written about similar false claims many times before.
Asymptomatic transmission of Covid-19 has been shown to be an important factor in how Covid-19 can spread.
17,410,742 people voted to leave in the 2016 EU referendum.
In the past year, employment in the constituency of Aldridge-Brownhills has gone up by 88,000.
That’s wrong. About 39,000 people were employed there from July 2015 to June 2016 - about 4,500 more than the previous year.
This year alone, MPs have cost the British taxpayer £92,993,748 in expenses.
The original post made unverified claims about members of the US Congress.
Incorrect. In 2017/18 MPs’ expenses totalled £35 million. The total cost of MPs’ and MPs’ staff pay and expenses that year came to £182 million.
As teachers walk out, we investigate whether the schools budget is being cut or not.
Spending per pupil is set to fall in real terms, by 8%, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
61% of the public would back Remain in a second referendum.
Polls suggesting 61% of people would back remain in a second referendum are probably overstating the lead.
This is only true in polls that limit the choice to two options: remaining in the EU or leaving with the current deal. When other options are included, support is lower.
Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa has died by suicide.
A website purporting to be BBC News has falsely claimed Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa died by suicide.
Correct. NHS funding in the UK is at record levels, even adjusted for inflation.
45% of young trans people in this country, modern Britain, have attempted suicide.
A survey raised concerns about high numbers of young trans people attempting to take their own lives. We don’t know how representative the findings are of young trans people in Britain as a whole.
We can’t say how representative this is of the young trans community in Britain as a whole—the overall sample was not adjusted to try and be representative. It’s based on a survey of LGBT people aged 11 to 19, with 594 young trans respondents.
People from Caribbean countries such as Jamaica appear to be disproportionately targeted for deportation from the UK if they commit crimes.
The data is not entirely reliable, and there may be multiple reasons why deportation rates vary, including whether deportation would affect someone’s human rights.
The data alone does not provide an entirely reliable ‘deportation rate’. Nor can it indicate the reasons why the deportation rate may vary. There may be many reasons why criminals from some countries are more likely to be deported than others.
The EU army will call up all 16 to 25 year olds to serve in an army for the European Union.
If the UK stays in the EU, it wouldn’t be forced into participating in an EU army. The UK has a veto on security and defence policy.
Incorrect. There is no EU army. There are no formal plans for an EU army. The UK has a veto on EU security and defence policy so couldn’t be forced to participate in an EU army.
More than 40% of newly recruited nurses are leaving full-time employment within their first year.
15% of new full-time NHS England nurses left full-time work in the year May 2016 to May 2017. Overall, 41% of new nurses weren’t in full-time employment by May 2017.
Incorrect. 15% of NHS England nurses who began as full-time staff between May 2016 and May 2017 had left full-time work by May 2017.
The people trying to cross the Channel from France to the UK are not refugees.
Refugees are not required to seek asylum in the first safe country they reach. But under EU law they can sometimes be returned to the first safe EU country they reached.
This cannot be known. It will be determined by immigration officials who review their asylum applications.
Remaining in the EU gives us a vote on how government spends our money.
Correct, remaining would mean UK citizens vote on legislators who pass government budgets (so does leaving).
The UK has gone from being one of the top economic performers in terms of growth in the G7, Europe and the world to being bottom of the league in the last year.
Our economy was the fastest growing in the G7 in 2014 but is now one of the worst performers, according to various experts.
It’s correct the UK had the fastest growing economy in the G7 in 2014 and was faster growing than the EU average in 2015. Various experts have said it is near the bottom of the G7 countries in 2017 and its growth is now lower the the EU average.
Channel 4 is in receipt of taxpayers’ money.
The broadcaster is publicly owned, but pays for itself through commercial operations. Its borrowing counts as public debt, but that doesn’t mean the taxpayer pays for it in the usual sense.
This is not true in the usual meaning of that phrase. Channel 4 funds itself with commercial operations. Its debt appears on public accounts, but it also pays tax.
It was wrong for a BBC Question Time audience member to say Vote Leave are accused of breaking electoral law.
This is wrong; the audience member was right. The Metropolitan Police are still investigating Vote Leave, and the Electoral Commission also found Vote Leave had broken electoral law, and fined them.
The OECD says that jobs and earnings in the UK are good.
Nearly one in five British Muslims has some sympathy with those who have fled the UK to fight for IS in Syria.
The Sun states that nearly one in five British Muslims sympathise with people who leave the UK to fight for IS in Syria. This isn't correct.
The survey asked about sympathy with "young Muslims who leave the UK to join fighters in Syria", not just those fighting in the conflict, and not just those fighting for IS.
The EU admits its budget will collapse without financial contribution from the UK.
The EU didn’t admit its budget will collapse without the UK’s contribution post-Brexit. The EU are in the process of agreeing a budget, without the UK, for 2021-27.
Incorrect. The EU is preparing a draft budget for 2021-2027, involving increased contributions and decreased spending in some areas to account for the UK’s departure.
12% of the electorate voted for no deal in the 2019 EU parliamentary elections, not one third of the country.
A third of votes at the 2019 EU parliamentary elections were cast for parties that support a no deal Brexit. But turnout was relatively low compared to other types of public vote.
One third of votes cast were for parties that support a no deal Brexit. But as turnout was 37%, this amounts to 13% of eligible voters voting for a party that supports no deal. Not all people who voted for no deal-supporting parties necessarily prefer a no deal Brexit themselves, though.
McDonald’s is reopening in the UK from Monday 27 April.
A Facebook post has incorrectly claimed that McDonald’s branches in the UK reopened on Monday 27 April.
Incorrect. McDonald’s has said it has no plans to reopen at this stage.
School funding in England will be £135 million a week higher by 2022/23, not throughout the three years. After adjusting for inflation, this amounts to £82.7 million a week.
The number of people waiting more than four hours in A&E has gone up by 557% since 2010.
The number of A&E attendances has generally been increasing, with a smaller proportion being seen inside four hours.
That’s not quite correct. The number of attendances where patients waited more than four hours in A&E has gone up 334% since 2010. The 557% is referring to patients with an admission approved who are waiting to be admitted.
In 2019 British Steel in Scunthorpe went into administration due to Brexit.
Technically British Steel went into liquidation, not administration. Brexit was named as one of the reasons for the company’s financial difficulties.
Firms bidding for government contracts are being asked if they back Brexit.
Two government jobs include a commitment to the “best possible outcome” for the UK after Brexit as a small part of the selection criteria.
There are two examples so far of companies tendering for digital work with the Department for International Trade being asked, as part of the selection criteria for the job, to show that they are “committed to the best possible outcome for the United Kingdom following its departure from the European Union”. The government says that’s not the same as firms being asked if they “back Brexit”.
Article 42 of the Magna Carta 'enshrines' the right to free movement at home and across borders in peacetime.
It appeared in the original 1215 version of the document, but this was quickly overturned.
Wrong. This provision existed in 1215 but it's not part of the most recently signed Magna Carta or modern law.
Keanu Reeves said that “humanity is showing signs of breaking free from the matrix”.
There’s no evidence the star of the Matrix franchise ever said humanity was being kept in a ‘mental prison’ by elites.
There is no evidence the actor ever actually said this.
After nine years of a Conservative government, local government funding is down 50%.
Government funding for local authorities in England fell by 49% between 2010/11 and 2017/18 in real terms, under coalition and Conservative governments. Councils have other revenue sources, and total “spending power” fell 29% in real terms in the same period.
Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are now the leading causes of death.
Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease were the single most common cause of deaths in 2015, but cancers in total caused more deaths.
It depends how you categorise illnesses. More people died of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease than any other single cause in 2015 but, as a group, cancers were the most common cause of deaths.
National Insurance Contributions are being used to reduce the national debt.
Surplus funds from National Insurance Contributions in the UK are currently invested to reduce the national debt.
Some are. This doesn’t mean anyone isn’t getting paid what they’re currently due in pensions or benefits—the UK government invests the NICs that don’t go towards paying pensions and benefits on reducing the national debt.
Nearly half of the aid sent to Syria came from the US and UK compared to 1% or less for other countries such as Saudi Arabia and Japan.
That was correct of one of the UN's funds. Taking the two main funds together the UK and US made up 38% of funding, and Japan gave just under 3%.
The UK is the second largest bilateral humanitarian aid donor to Syria.
The UK is the third largest donor of aid to Syria, behind the USA and Germany according to the United Nations.
The UK used to be the second largest aid donor to Syria since 2012, but it is now third behind Germany, according to the United Nations.
One in four hospital beds will be occupied by diabetics by 2030.
The research by Diabetes UK makes a big assumption which is poorly evidenced.
It’s difficult to know how many hospital beds will be occupied by diabetics in 2030, but the way in which this estimate was calculated is seriously flawed.
GPs are treating 200,000 fewer patients on Fridays with appointment availability getting progressively worse during the week.
There are some important caveats to figures showing GP appointments drop off later in the week.
This figure is correct for July 2021 in England, but comes with important caveats. The drop in appointments on Friday is more marked when compared with Monday, when GPs are busiest, rather than the rest of the week. The Friday drop is also a longstanding one, and the figures can’t tell us about “availability” or how appointment supply compares with demand.
330,000 people a day are being tested for Covid-19 under the Test and Trace programme.
The true number of people tested for Covid-19 each day, under the Test and Trace programme for England, is about 52,000
This is not true. The real number, in England, is around 52,000. It will be slightly higher for the whole UK and if antibody and surveillance tests are included.
Vapers with Covid-19 are up to 17% more likely to transmit the virus.
The research actually found a lower risk of transmission from vaping than from talking or coughing.
The study found this may be the case in a small minority of vapers. However, in most vapers the increased risk is 1%. Even the higher 17% risk is lower than the risk from coughing or talking.
In early March 2022, the government makes over £1 per litre on the petrol and diesel sales at the pump in the UK.
Road fuel prices have reached or passed 190 pence per litre in parts of the country. At that price, just under half of that is fuel duty and VAT.
It’s more like 80-90 pence per litre in fuel duty and VAT, depending on the station you buy at.
A World Health Organisation representative said that as long as people eat meat, there is going to be some risk of infection.
It is thought that the new coronavirus originated from bats and was transmitted to humans through another animal.
Dr Gauden Galea, the WHO representative in China, did say this. It was aired by CNN during a news story about the role of wild animals in the new coronavirus outbreak.
Deprived areas are facing the most significant council cuts.
Councils that are most dependent on government grants have seen their budgets reduced by more than other councils over the last seven years.
Councils that are most dependent on government grants—those which are poorest or in inner London—have seen their budgets reduced by more than other councils between 2009/10 and 2016/17.
There are 1,012 rapists and 343 killers on the run.
We looked at how many people are wanted in relation to particular crimes in England and Wales.
These are not convicted rapists or killers. This is the number of records on the Police National Computer relating to people wanted in relation to these crimes in England and Wales, as of August last year. Not all wanted suspects will be on the database and some who are there could be counted twice.
Labour will borrow £500 billion more in government.
We've seen claims about Labour's plans for investment spending.
We don’t know yet what all of Labour’s policies will cost or raise. This figure refers to planned investment spending, not all of which the party says will come from public borrowing.
The National Crime Agency says that one in 35 UK men have a sexual interest in children.
It seems unlikely we’ll ever have a complete picture of how many adults experience sexual feelings towards children, partly because this is something which many people will be uncomfortable discussing
The National Crime Agency told us this estimate came from “various pieces of academic research” but it wasn’t able to point us directly to a specific piece. The estimates that we’ve seen are very uncertain and—whatever the exact figure—experts on the topic stressed to us that thoughts often don’t turn into actions.
Remain campaigners predicted that house prices would fall by 10% after a vote to leave.
Campaigners on both sides of the EU referendum made false claims, or predicted things that turned out to be wrong. Sometimes they made false claims about the false claims made by each other.
Not quite. The UK Treasury expected house prices to be 10-18% lower than they would otherwise have been in 2017/18.
Judge Jonathan Durham Hall refused to jail a 15 year-old girl that stabbed a paedophile with a kitchen knife who had been abusing her since she was eight. The charge was grievous bodily harm with intent. He fined the girl then offered to pay the fine for her.
The judge spared her prison time and gave her a two year youth rehabilitation order.
Mostly correct. The girl stabbed a man who had sexually assaulted her when she was eight. The judge did give her a two year youth rehabilitation order, but told her that he would pay the victim surcharge himself if she was ordered to.
406 constituencies voted to leave, 242 voted to remain in the EU referendum.
Best estimates show it was probably about 410 to 240.
The economy has grown by 73% under this Conservative government.
While comparing economic growth to carbon emissions, Mr Johnson claimed the economy has grown 73% under this government. It has grown by around 20%.
Incorrect. The economy grew 73% between 1990 and 2017, under both Labour and Conservative-led governments. The economy has grown by around 20% since the Conservatives took office in 2010.
A post by the Royal British Legion said it will offer poppies in every community in the UK.
The charity has confirmed poppies will be offered “in every community in the UK.”
This is true, it’s a screenshot of a post from 2016. The charity regularly says this.
There are now more people in work than there were before the pandemic began.
At PMQs the Prime Minister claimed the number of people in work had returned to pre-pandemic levels. This is true only for payrolled employees, not all workers.
Not quite. There are more payrolled employees, but the total number of people in paid work, including the self-employed, is below the level seen just prior to the pandemic.
Alcohol deaths in England at record high after 6% rise in a year.
Correct, in terms of deaths that are a direct result of alcohol misuse. However, the number of alcohol-specific deaths per 100,000 people has remained virtually the same over the last ten years.
One in five claimants that have been sanctioned became homeless as a result of it, according to one study.
A survey found that 39% of homeless people had been sanctioned. 21% became homeless because of it.
This is missing an important caveat. Researchers found that one fifth of people surveyed who had used homelessness services had lost their home because of sanctions. The proportion of all people who are sanctioned who become homeless is probably smaller.
Vaccine manufacturers have never claimed their vaccines stop transmission of Covid-19.
This is not true and there’s plenty of evidence to show how the vaccines do considerably reduce transmission.
21 million people in China have died of coronavirus.
The number of mobile phone subscriptions in China fell by 21 million between December and February. This doesn’t mean 21 million have died.
This claim is based on the fall in the number of Chinese mobile phone subscriptions and shouldn’t be trusted.
All patients over the age of 16 attending a doctor or hospital appointment in England must now be asked about their sexual orientation.
NHS England told us that new guidelines on collecting information on the sexual orientation of patients aren’t compulsory.
That’s not quite right, these new guidelines aren’t compulsory and it’s up to individual organisations whether they collect it. It’s still predicted to be introduced widely.
The number of NHS overnight hospital beds has fallen by 15,000 since 2010.
It’s hard to say exactly how far NHS bed numbers have fallen in the past ten years, since the count before 2010 included different things.
This is in the right ballpark but isn’t the best comparison. It’s fairer to say the number of beds has fallen by about 12,000.
PCR tests are contaminated with a dangerous gas called ethylene oxide.
Swabs are sterilised with ethylene oxide, which can be unsafe in large quantities, but not in the amounts used in this way.
Wearing a mask can cause hypercapnia, by making you breathe in too much carbon dioxide.
Mask wearing is not harmful for most people, apart from rare instances involving tight-fitting N95 respirators.
This is not true. Wearing a mask is safe for most people. There may be rare instances of harm involving tight-fitting N95 or FFP2 masks.
The gender pay gap is at the lowest on record.
Men and women are still some way off equal in the UK labour market, although we have the highest female employment rate on record, the overall gender pay gap is falling, and more women are on boards.
That’s correct across a range of measures, although there’s still a significant gap overall.
The number of people going to Accident and Emergency is rising every year.
The UK will cease to recognise and allow the import of mineral water from the EU and EEA from January 2022.
Manufacturers can continue to export to Britain, as long as they renew their accreditation by 7 January 2022.
This is missing context. Manufacturers of EU mineral water can continue to export it to Britain as long as they renew their accreditation by 7 January 2022.
One in ten patients admitted to hospital are suffering from a form of diabetes linked to being overweight and inactive
Type 2 diabetes sufferers make up one in 10 hospital admissions in England but a small fraction were admitted for type 2 diabetes as the main diagnosis.
This needs context. One in ten patients admitted to English hospitals in 2018/19 had type 2 diabetes, but a small fraction of those were admitted for their diabetes specifically.
600,000 people aged 18-24 are unemployed.
It’s correct that there were about 1.7 million unemployed people in the UK at the last count, in July-September 2016.
That’s wrong, as of July-September 2016. About 520,000 people aged 18-24 were unemployed that summer. Taking the time of year into account, the ‘seasonally adjusted’ estimate was about 473,000.
The number of Britons drinking to harmful levels has fallen sharply.
21% of adults aged 16+ in England reported to an NHS Digital survey that they usually drank more than the recommended 14 units of alcohol a week in 2017. This level has been falling since at least 2012.
Ethylene oxide, used to sterilise lateral flow tests, is deadly and turns into antifreeze upon use.
A video incorrectly suggests a gas used to sterilise lateral flow tests can cause cancer and its use is being hidden from the public.
While large amounts of ethylene oxide can be dangerous, the amount used to sterilise tests is tiny and assessed against strict safety standards. No ethylene oxide is left once tests are packaged.
A study on vitamin D and Covid-19 shows an 80% reduction in need for ICU and a 60% reduction in deaths. The study demonstrates that the clear relationship between vitamin D and Covid mortality is causal.
This was a pre print of a study, which has now been removed from the Lancet website, and is being investigated.
The available Covid-19 vaccines are a type of gene therapy.
This is not true. None of the vaccines change genetic code or attempt to replace genes.
Last year we saw 217,000 more homes being built in this country. That is a record—apart from one year—for the last 30 years.
184,000 new homes were built in England in 2016/17, and there were 217,000 more homes added to the overall stock.
217,000 is how many more homes there were in England in 2016/17 than the year before. That’s the second highest increase on record over the last 26 years. 184,000 of these were newly built in 2016/17.
The deficit in trade with the EU has narrowed by £4.4 billion to £3.2 billion.
Covid-19 and Brexit mean trade volumes are incredibly volatile at the moment. We take a look at some of the claims about the latest data.
The trade deficit with the whole world, not just the EU, fell to £3.2 billion in the three months to April 2021.
Both the UK and Irish governments want to see free trade continue across the Irish border.
Neither the British or Irish governments want customs checks on the Northern Irish border. But that’s not sufficient to guarantee it won’t happen.
They do, but it’s not their choice to make, because Ireland is bound by EU trade policies.
The NHS has issued a letter saying that some children infected with coronavirus have been exhibiting symptoms similar to toxic shock syndrome.
So far there have been very few cases, but doctors have been warned to look out for these symptoms in children.
This is a real letter issued to NHS primary care medical professionals. This letter was intended for medical professionals and refers to only a small number of cases.
The cash amount going to schools in England is rising and ahead of inflation, but spending per pupil is set to fall by 8% between 2014 and 2020, taking school-specific inflation into account.
We do not know where Covid-19 places among causes of death because the data is not published.
Acclaimed author Frederick Forsyth claimed incorrectly that the ONS doesn’t show where Covid-19 ranks among all causes of death.
Incorrect. The data is published monthly by the Office for National Statistics.
HMRC employs 300 people to investigate tax fraud.
Incorrect. In February 2018 HMRC employed around 26,000 people “tackling all forms of non-compliance in the tax system”.
2.5 million more people went to A&E last year.
There were 2.5 million more attendances at English A&Es in 2016 compared with 2010.
Just over one million more people went to A&E last year compared to the year before. 2.5 million is only correct comparing back to 2010.
The UK will pay a net £20 billion into the EU budget while it negotiates the terms of exit under Article 50.
The UK is still a member of the European Union pending exit negotiations, so budget contributions will continue.
We can’t replicate the exact figure, but it’s plausible. The UK is set to pay over £9 billion per annum net into the EU budget in the next few years.
If the new coronavirus gets into your mouth, drinking water or other liquids will wash them down through the oesophagus. Once they’re in the stomach, the acid will kill the virus. If you don't drink enough water more regularly, the virus can enter your windpipes and into the lungs.
This is incorrect. Drinking water does not prevent an infection.
A poll shows that UKIP’s Paul Nuttall is set to win in the Stoke Central by-election.
We've seen a poll on the Stoke by-election. As far as we're aware, the campaign group who carried it out still haven’t published the information you’d need to say whether it’s reliable.
We don’t know if this was a reliable poll. The information we need to assess the poll hasn’t been published.
Remaining in the EU gives us the right to prevent Turkey joining the EU.
Correct—each EU member has a veto on other countries joining the EU.
White, working-class boys are less likely than other groups to go on to university.
Less well-off white boys in England are, on average, less likely to attend university than minority ethnic groups, according to research.
This is correct for England, using research for university joiners in 2010 and 2011 and looking at the least well-off students.
This is a photo taken of Boris Johnson since he has been Prime Minister.
The image is from an interview with the BBC in April 2019.
It was taken in April 2019 as part of a programme on Brexit.
The Withdrawal Agreement Bill has not passed Parliament—it passed its “second reading”, which is just an early stage in Parliament passing it.
Up to 650,000 people die a year from the flu.
This is the top-end estimate of a modelled global total which is still fewer than the number of people who died from Covid-19 last year. At least 3 million people across the world died of Covid-19 in 2020.
Black workers face a widening pay gap the more qualifications they earn.
There’s evidence of an overall pay gap, but the relationship between qualifications and pay is complicated.
There’s evidence of an overall pay gap, but the relationship between qualifications and pay is complicated. The claim is based on analysis comparing the average earnings of black and white workers over an annual period. It doesn’t take account of things like the grades obtained in each qualification, where graduates have studied and what types of jobs they end up in. Nor does it mean that this will be the experience that individual workers have—it tells us what the gap looks like overall.
93.3% of school leavers in Scotland are going into education, training or employment.
Correct according to initial findings for 2015/16, although these may change slightly when the surveys are followed up later this year.
Deaths among US military personnel rose by 1,100% in 2021.
Claims of a huge spike in deaths are based on faulty data.
This is based on inaccurate data, which has now been withdrawn.
Nine out of the 11 judges who made the ruling on the suspension of parliament, receive stipends of £175,000+ from the EU.
Some work ad hoc for the European Court of Human Rights, but that is separate from the European Union.
This is not the case. Two supreme court judges are ad hoc judges for the European Court of Human Rights, which is separate from the EU. Only one of the two has come to the court, and that has only been twice in the last four years. They get paid around £444 per day for this.
The EU doesn't have an army, and doesn't look like getting one. It encourages military co-operation, and at least a few politicians support EU armed forces.
EU member countries work together on military matters, but the EU doesn't have its own military capabilities. At least a few European politicians do support the creation of an EU army, but that would need unanimous approval.
Scotland will have to leave the EU whether or not it becomes independent.
Although technically an independent Scotland could be written into the EU treaties, in practice it would most likely need to re-apply.
It’s very likely that Scotland would have to re-apply to join the EU on independence, although in theory it could stay in without a hiatus if all member countries agreed to write it into the EU treaties.
Grenfell Tower was built by a Labour Council under Labour government in 2007-2008, when Sadiq Khan was the Housing Minister.
Incorrect. Grenfell Tower was built in 1974 under a Conservative council. There was a Labour government at this time, but Sadiq Khan was not a minster: he was a young child in 1974.
The Brexit withdrawal deal doesn’t guarantee we’d stay in a customs union.
The Brexit withdrawal agreement outlines how we’ll leave the EU. The future trade agreement will outline how we trade with the EU after that.
Technically correct, but the withdrawal agreement isn’t meant to deal with future trade. It does outline a backup trade deal which involves something similar to a customs union, but the permanent future trade relationship is a matter for future negotiations.
Four million people are on the waiting list for NHS treatment.
At least 3.7 million patient referrals in England were waiting to receive non-emergency treatment as of November 2016. It may be as high as 3.9 million.
This is correct, although the figure refers to each referral rather than individual patients. Around 3.7 million referrals in England were waiting to receive non-emergency treatment as of November 2016. Including those hospital trusts that didn’t submit information, the NHS thinks that there may be 3.9 million on the waiting list.
3.5 million don’t have access to any photo ID.
This is correct for Great Britain according to research from 2015 – there isn’t a more up-to-date figure. It refers to types of ID that would be valid as part of the government’s proposed voter ID scheme.
You need to be 18 to get married on your own.
In England and Wales, you can’t buy a house yourself until you’re 18.
Correct for England and Wales. You can get married or enter a civil partnership at 16 and 17 but you still need parental consent.
If you count the ballot fraud in the US election, most pollsters clearly failed. If you don’t include the fraudulent ballots, most pollsters failed on a spectacular scale.
A comment piece in the Express wrongly claimed Donald Trump lost the election because of fraudulent votes.
There is no evidence of widespread fraudulent ballots in the US election. It is correct that the predictions of many pollsters were found to be inaccurate.
The IFS found that real terms per pupil funding in 2020 will be over 50 per cent higher than it was in 2000.
Spending per pupil in England fell by 8% in real terms from 2009/10 to 2017/18, and will be held constant from 2017/18 to 2019/20. UK education spending was about average among OECD countries in 2015.
The IFS says: “The average level of spending per pupil by primary and secondary schools rose by around 5% per year in real terms during the 2000s and was then largely protected in real terms under the coalition government. Spending per pupil fell 4% in real terms between 2015–16 and 2017–18, but will be held constant in real terms up to 2019–20.”
All Japanese citizens who have received their Covid-19 vaccine are not permitted to give blood.
Lead singer of The Stone Roses, Ian Brown, has falsely claimed that Japan has stopped anyone vaccinated for Covid-19 from giving blood.
This is not true. Japanese Red Cross guidelines state anyone who has received a vaccine must only wait 48 hours before they can give blood.
A report by the Social Mobility Commission says there isn’t a north/south divide on social mobility, it says the picture is more mixed than this.
A report by the Social Mobility Commission says there isn’t a simple north/south divide on social mobility.
That’s correct. The report said the strongest divide was between London and the rest of the country.
Correct for England and Wales, though you can have one owned in trust by a trustee.
The recovery rate from Covid-19 is 99.9% to 99.994%.
Posts on social media have overestimated the Covid recovery rate.
This is incorrect. The recovery rate is far lower.
It’s not yet known exactly how long the virus survives on surfaces.
In 2017 the UK resettled more refugees from outside Europe than any other EU member state.
The UK “resettled” more refugees than any other EU country in 2017 and 2018, but several EU countries have granted asylum to more refugees overall in that time than the UK has.
Technically correct, but resettled refugees are only a subset of all refugees a country might take in. Overall, Germany, France, Austria and Sweden all granted asylum to more refugees than the UK did in 2017.
Germany owes £3.7 trillion of WWII debt.
Property damage after the Second World War was valued at around £1.5 billion at the time.
Germany’s war debt was written off decades ago. We also haven’t seen evidence that Germany’s debt to the UK, or the cost of war damage incurred by the UK, was worth £3.7 trillion.
In 1955, Crest became the first fluoride toothpaste.
Crest began testing its first fluoride toothpaste in 1955. It wasn’t the first fluoride toothpaste but fluoride became a standard additive around this time.
6 months ago the DWP promised a review of Universal Credit for the terminally ill.
The estimate is an average based on how many people died between 2013 and 2018 waiting for a decision on their Personal Independence Payment decision.
Correct. The Department for Work and Pensions said in July 2019 that it would evaluate how the benefits system worked for those nearing the end of their life and those with severe conditions.
The number of deaths so far this year in the UK (up to week 39) has been 454,000.
A post on Facebook compares the death toll this year in England in Wales with the UK death toll in previous years to incorrectly suggest we are on course for a normal yearly death toll.
Incorrect. This is the figure for England and Wales only. For the UK as a whole it is 513,987.
The government can introduce restrictions on Universal Credit where you can’t get it unless you get tested and unless you get a vaccine.
The government has confirmed this is untrue and there are no plans to do this.
There are eight million foreigners living in the UK.
The number of foreign-born people in the UK has probably passed eight million, but that's not the same as the number of non-UK nationals. Just ask Boris.
There are an estimated eight million people who were born abroad living in the UK, although according to the census that was already the case in 2011.
The number of elderly people being rushed into A&E from care homes has risen by 62% since the Conservatives took power.
Emergency admissions from care homes rose by 62% between 2010/11 and 2016/17. Overall emergency admissions rose by 11% in that time.
This is the increase in the number of emergency admissions from care homes in England from 2010/11 to 2016/17. Roughly 90% of these admissions were people aged 60 plus in both 2010/11 and 2016/17.
Contaminated food from takeaways and restaurants is spreading norovirus.
Research estimates takeaways and restaurants are responsible for around 8% of the three million yearly norovirus cases in the UK.
New research estimates that restaurants and takeaways are responsible for around 8% of UK norovirus cases.
Under the government’s new immigration rules anyone earning less than £25,600 is regarded as an unskilled worker.
The minimum eligible salary will be £20,480, but other criteria will also apply.
Incorrect. All workers applying for the skilled worker visa must have a salary of at least £20,480, and if it is below £25,600 they must also fulfil other criteria to gain a visa. Jobs are not classed by the government as “skilled” depending on salary.
An image of Earth was pasted into a photo from the Apollo 17 space mission.
This is not true and is a misinterpretation of an effect linked to photo editing software.
Some charities are spending less than half of the money raised by members of the public on good works.
A new report criticises charities based on their spending on charitable activities as a proportion of their income. But this metric can be confusing.
Looking at the ratio of charitable spending on total income doesn't tell us about how well-run a charity is. Charities sometimes have to spend money to make money, and may choose not to spend all of their income at once.
Blue surgical masks are sprayed with PTFE, which is harmful to humans.
Some masks contain PTFE, but ordinary surgical masks are often made from other materials. PTFE is not generally harmful to humans.
Red Bull and Monster energy drinks contain bull semen.
Taurine in Red Bull and Monster drinks doesn’t come from bull semen.
Incorrect. They contain taurine, which is present in bull semen, but the drinks use synthetically produced taurine.
NHS Test and Trace spent £37 billion on an app.
A video on Facebook makes claims about government overspending on Test and Trace, PPE and the value of fraudulent loans.
NHS Test and Trace was allocated £37 billion for the first two years of operation, but expects to spend about £28 billion. The tracing app accounted for less than 1% of this spend, most of which went on testing.
50 schools in France have closed since mass reopenings last week due to new coronavirus outbreaks.
It is still too early to know the effect of school openings will have on coronavirus cases in France.
This is true but it’s unlikely children were infected at schools.
The NHS has been judged the best healthcare system in the world.
International comparisons of healthcare are about the UK, not just the NHS. How we do depends on the measures chosen.
It depends who you ask and what they’re judging to be important for a healthcare system. One report judged the UK’s healthcare the best of eleven rich countries, but other reports say the UK does much worse. None we’ve seen are specific to the NHS.
Boris Johnson said that an alert system for Covid-19 could involve detecting the infection in the water supply.
When talking about monitoring Covid-19, Boris Johnson referred to detecting it in the water supply when he meant to say wastewater.
It is true that Boris Johnson said this, however, he misspoke according to his spokesperson. He was referring to a potential scheme that could detect genetic material from the virus in sewage: not in the water supply.
EU regulation means kipper sellers must package their kippers in ice.
Boris Johnson claimed that EU regulation required kipper sellers to pack kippers in ice. This is not an EU regulation – it is UK regulation.
This is incorrect. The EU does not set any requirements on the temperature at which smoked fish must be transported. The temperature requirement is a UK regulation.
Increasing council tax to pay for social care is four times more useful in wealthy areas compared to more deprived ones.
Councils are being allowed to increase council tax by 3% next year to pay for social care, but how does that impact different councils?
There was roughly 3.5 times the difference between the council which could raise the most to pay for social care by increasing council tax and the council which would raise the least per over 65 year old.
1.8 million migrants entered the EU illegally in 2015.
1.8 million illegal border crossings into the EU were detected by member states in 2015. This isn’t the same as 1.8 million migrants.
This is incorrect as far as available figures show. 1.8 million illegal border crossings were detected by EU member states in 2015, but this isn’t 1.8 million unique people as some are counted multiple times. It’s thought around one million migrants came over the same period.
David Davis has never said the government had impact assessments of the effect Brexit on different parts of the economy.
We take on the hunt for 57 disappearing impact assessments.
Although David Davis has never directly said “impact assessments”, as far as we can tell, he did confirm the existence of 57 impact assessments to a select committee.
Grammar schools don’t benefit most pupils.
Evidence suggests pupils who get into grammar schools perform better than they would under comprehensive education, and pupils who don’t perform worse.
The advantage for pupils who attend grammar schools is outweighed by the disadvantage for those who don’t.
5G millimeter waves could be absorbed by skin cells acting as antennas, transferred to other cells and play the main role in producing coronaviruses in biological cells.
The paper, which was retracted days after it was published, did not prove any link between 5G and coronaviruses.
There is absolutely no evidence that this is the case. A paper presenting this theory (with no proof) has since been retracted.
Transport for London issued a tube sign advising passengers to wear deodorant in hot weather and saying the tube smelt like “someone left a ham behind a radiator” in summer.
Like many other viral tube signs, this one is a fake.
McDonald’s is reopening in the UK from Monday 6 April.
A viral post claiming this has been debunked by McDonald’s.
Incorrect. McDonald’s has said its restaurants in the UK will remain closed.
GP numbers are experiencing their first sustained fall for 50 years.
Correct, looking at the number of GPs (excluding registrars, retainers and locums) per 100,000 people across the UK since 1964.
The EU’s founding principle is free trade among its members.
This was one of the EU’s founding principles. Since 1992, it is also committed to European citizenship; a common foreign and security policy; and cooperation between EU governments on justice and home affairs.
UK public spending is expected to fall to US levels by 2019.
The summer 2015 Budget could see UK public spending drop to US levels within four years.
As a proportion of GDP, UK spending is forecast to be similar to the US by 2019. The summer 2015 Budget in the UK set this in motion.
This was reported as the attendance at the time.
In that 6 months, 2,000 people have died with no financial help whatsoever.
Around 17,070 people died over five years, waiting for a decision on their Personal Independence Payment (PIP) application. Researchers used this to get an average of 1,700 over six months. PIP is one type of benefit people with a terminal illness can get.
Per head, spending by local councils is up to 40% lower across regions outside of London.
From 2012/13 to 2014/15, English councils outside London spent about 35% less per head than those in the capital.
In Britain, you’re allowed to wave terrorist flags.
A viral post claims flying terrorist flags is legal but flying the British flag isn’t. This is incorrect.
There are laws preventing the display of terrorist flags, but the police have been known to not arrest people for this.
There are more than 1,000 fewer armed police officers since 2010.
The number of armed police officers has fallen by about 700 since 2010, but numbers are currently on the rise.
There are about 700 fewer now than in 2010. Labour's claim accurately quotes the latest published Home Office figures, but newer figures from the National Police Chiefs' Council have changed the picture. The numbers are expected to return to 2010 levels over the next few years.
In Wales you cannot use your car to visit places other than shopping for essentials, helping someone who is shielding, or to work.
The UK government can only change lockdown rules for England.
These are some of the main reasonable excuses for leaving the house according to Welsh law as of 11 May. There is nothing to say you cannot use a car to do these things.
The government's roadmap to ease Covid-19 restrictions will be set out in 5 phases.
The post says phases will start on 18 May, 8 June, 29 June, 20 July and 10 August.
This is the plan from the Irish government.
Since 2010 a million more households are stuck renting from a private landlord. More than 11 million people rent from a private landlord and many of them are at the sharp end of the housing crisis.
In 2009/10 there were 3.4 million households renting from a private landlord and this has risen to 4.5 million in 2017/18.
The numbers on the scale of private renting are accurate.
Aborted male foetal cells called MRC-5 are in the Covid-19 vaccine.
Cells derived from human foetal cells used in production don’t make it to the final product.
The cell strain referenced isn’t used to manufacture the vaccine. A different cell strain, derived from kidney cells taken from a female foetus aborted in the 1970s was used to propagate the virus for the vaccine. These cells don’t make it to the final product.
The NHS is free for all 500 million EU citizens.
EU visitors receive free NHS treatment for unplanned illness if they have an EHIC card. Similarly UK citizens receive free (or discounted) state healthcare when visiting other EU countries.
People normally need to be “ordinarily resident” in the UK get free healthcare, and EU visitors are entitled to free NHS treatment for unplanned illnesses. Similarly UK citizens are entitled to free (or discounted) state healthcare when visiting other EU countries.
You are not being given an option to refuse the vaccines.
We fact check this, and several other claims.
False. Consent must be obtained before the vaccines are given and people with ‘capacity’ have the right to refuse. There are special procedures to follow regarding individuals who do not have capacity to make this decision.
The AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines contain aborted human and monkey cells.
Partly false. Both vaccines use cell lines derived from aborted foetal cells but those cells do not make it into the final vaccine. Neither contain or use monkey cells.
President Obama plans to stand in the Kenyan presidential elections.
Claims this is the case are based on a joke article about Barack Obama wanting to be president of Kenya
The IMF says that the UK will be the fastest-growing advanced economy in the world in 2016.
The UK is set to be the 18th fastest-growing of the ‘advanced economies’ in 2016, according to the IMF.
Not correct. The IMF forecasts GDP growth of 1.8% for the UK in 2016, the 18th highest among the 39 countries it calls ‘advanced economies’.
There were fewer deaths recorded in the first 15 weeks of 2020 than in the first 15 weeks of 2018.
Total deaths registered in England and Wales for 2020 so far are below 2018, but the weekly death figure is still well above what it has been.
Correct, although the number of deaths in recent weeks far exceeds the number at the same point in any recent year.
The latest figures show 28% of students who applied to Oxford University from the North East got in. 24% of people from London who applied got in. But only about 700 people applied from the North East, and over 9,000 applied from London.
Oxford University students are most likely to be from Greater London.
Correct, looking at applications from, and offers to, UK-domiciled potential undergraduates between 2015 and 2017.
In the last four years the number of patients whose transfer from hospital was delayed due to problems with social care has increased by one third.
Between 2011/12 and 2015/16 the number of patients whose transfer from hospital was delayed due to social care increased by one third.
As a percentage of GDP, government spending on the NHS is set to fall.
The UK spends a smaller percentage of GDP on health than France or Germany. The percentage of GDP the UK spends on health is also set to decrease.
This is correct, assuming government spending plans happen and the UK’s output of goods and services (GDP) increases as predicted. The proportion of GDP made up by NHS spending is set to decrease to April 2021.
The ‘CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel’ cannot differentiate between Covid-19 and flu.
One type of PCR test has been ‘dropped’ in favour of others that are more efficient and can be processed more quickly.
This test can only detect SARS-CoV-2. It will not confuse Covid-19 and flu, and can ‘differentiate’ between them. But it cannot test for both at the same time.
It was claimed on Question Time that you are more likely to drown than die of Covid-19 if you are under 60 with no health conditions.
In 2018, 263 people died in accidental drownings in the UK.
The Covid-19 vaccine doesn’t stop you catching the disease.
Data shows that even one dose can significantly reduce your chances of getting infected, even without symptoms.
Correct, according to the Royal College of Nursing.
The number of young offenders has fallen to a record low.
The number of young offenders has fallen to a record low, but the proportion of BAME young offenders in custody has risen over the last ten years.
The Department for Work and Pensions is or isn't carrying out a review of 60 suicides linked to benefits.
The DWP has carried out internal 'Peer Reviews' in 40 individual cases since February 2012 after the suicide or apparent suicide of a customer.
The police starting salary was £24,000 in 2010 and £23,000 in 2018.
These figures don’t account for inflation. In 2018 prices their starting salary has fallen from the equivalent of £27,400 in 2010 to around £23,300 in 2018.
A Lisbon court found only 152 deaths have been caused by Covid in Portugal.
This was just the number of deaths recorded by doctors from the Ministry of Justice, who typically only deal with deaths where there is a suspicion of foul play.
False. A Lisbon court found doctors from the Ministry of Justice recorded 152 deaths have been caused by Covid in Portugal. Most deaths are recorded by doctors from the Ministry of Health. In total over 17,000 people have died of Covid-19 in Portugal.
Daily deaths from cancer in England were in 450 in October.
This seems to be an average based on 2015-2017 figures. Looking at 2019 figures 378 people died per day on average.
The Pirbright Institute has the main patent for coronavirus, which was granted by Serco.
The Pirbright Institute’s coronavirus patent is not related to the virus causing the current outbreak, and we can find no evidence that it was granted by Serco.
20-30% of the population is going to die with each vaccine.
From the roll-outs so far, there is no evidence to support this.
A relentless workload is forcing teachers to leave the profession for lower paid jobs.
Research has found that people leaving teaching roles in state schools are leaving for on average lower paid jobs. It didn't look at why this was.
Research found people leaving teaching roles in state schools are ending up in jobs which are on average lower paid, at least in their first year. It's not clear to what extent workload pressures are encouraging teachers to leave for lower paid jobs specifically.
A sign at a vaccine clinic urges parents to donate their children’s organs.
A manipulated image has been shared thousands of times online.
This is not true, and the picture being shared has been manipulated to change the text on the sign, which originally read “Covid vaccines here” in Spanish.
Covid-19 vaccines weaken your immune system.
Former MEP Godfrey Bloom has made a number of false claims about Covid-19 vaccines
There is no evidence that Covid-19 vaccines weaken the immune system.
The UK could change its mind about withdrawing from the EU even after triggering the formal process of leaving under Article 50.
It's not clear whether or not the UK can halt the process of leaving the EU midway through. This has implications for suggestions of a second vote.
Article 50 doesn’t say whether or not a country can change its mind, so it’s arguable either way. Some eminent lawyers think that it can, but there are also those – especially within the EU itself – who argue that once a country has triggered Article 50 it can’t then abort the process without permission.
15% of world trade is conducted through the EU.
EU members are responsible for an estimated 15% of the global trade in goods (so excluding services). But only trade between two EU member states would count as being conducted through the EU—so the actual figure for goods will be lower than this.
21 people were dying daily of Covid-19 in October in England.
This is incorrect. At the time the claim was made, the number of deaths reported of people who had tested positive for Covid-19 and died within 28 days was 169.
The United Kingdom has won the second-most number of Nobel Prizes after the United States.
The UK is second only to the United States on number of prizes won, but the position falls when you take other factors into account.
This is correct. There are lots of different ways to count it too. If we look at Nobel Prizes per person, the UK is down to 10th.
Police are searching for a man and child after a member of the public reported the child telling the man “you’re not my dad”.
Police have called off the search—but two newspapers only updated their websites to reflect this after Full Fact contacted them.
This was correct at the time of publication, but police have since confirmed that this was a false alarm. They’ve visited the child to confirm he is safe and well with his father and there is no ongoing search.
The Red Cross says people vaccinated against Covid-19 cannot donate blood plasma because the vaccine wipes out antibodies.
The American Red Cross has stopped taking donations of blood plasma containing antibodies as it has enough supply.
False. The American Red Cross has stopped accepting donations of plasma containing Covid-19 antibodies from anyone as it has enough supply. It says people who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 can still give blood.
Tax avoidance costs £90 billion per year.
It underestimates the spending on benefits for people seeking asylum and uses a disputed estimate of the tax gap to talk about tax avoidance.
This is an unofficial estimate of the total tax gap. The figures are disputed and do not just cover tax avoidance.
The EU gives British workers the entitlement to 28 days' paid holiday.
The EU does give workers the right to a minimum 20 days of paid leave, but it was a decision of the British government to increase that to 28 days.
The EU minimum is 20 days. The British government increased it to 28 to cover bank holidays.
Ten years ago no child had type 2 diabetes.
A report in the Express said that ten years ago no child had type 2 diabetes – that’s wrong
Incorrect. At least 328 under 18s in England were found to have type 2 diabetes in 2009, though that study was not comprehensive.
Unemployment in Wales, at 4.1%, is the lowest in the UK.
The unemployment rate in Wales is 4.1%, lower than England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Across the whole of the UK it’s 4.9%.
It’s the lowest of the four countries within the UK, but not the lowest of any region.
Covid-19 vaccines weaken your immune system and make it harder for your body to fight the disease.
There are more vaccinated people in hospital with Covid because the vast majority of vulnerable people have now been vaccinated.
This is not true. Covid-19 vaccines help your body to fight the disease, and are highly effective at preventing hospitalisation and death.
If the UK leaves the EU single market and relies only on its membership of the World Trade Organisation, there would be 80,000 jobs lost in Scotland.
A ‘Hard Brexit’ would see 80,000 fewer jobs in Scotland than EU membership, according to one set of figures.
The numbers aren’t certain, but a forecast for the Scottish government suggests that in 10 years there would be 80,000 fewer jobs in Scotland if the UK leaves the single market, compared to the number there would be if it stays in the EU. The report expects every scenario outside the EU to mean fewer jobs.
More under-18s are being prosecuted for selling cannabis while the number of those aged 18 or over prosecuted has fallen.
Fewer 10 to 17 year-olds have been prosecuted for the cultivation and possession of cannabis over the last 10 years, but increasing numbers for the possession with intent to supply, and supply.
Correct, in England and Wales. The number of 10-17 year-olds prosecuted between 2012/13 and 2016/17 increased, while the number of adults fell. Despite this many more adults are still being prosecuted overall.
A patent for coronavirus was granted in 2018 to the Pirbright Institute UK, founded by Bill and Melinda Gates.
Coronavirus is not one single virus: it’s a family of them.
A patent for a different virus in the same family as the Wuhan virus was applied for by the Pirbright Institute, which receives part of its funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Migration to the UK has dropped following the EU referendum.
Estimates including three months after the referendum suggest net migration has fallen since the previous year, although the change isn’t statistically significant. It’s too soon to say what effect the result has had on immigration.
Hand sanitiser shouldn’t be ingested or used incorrectly. However, when used appropriately, it is not poisonous.
90% of people in hospital with Covid-19 are unvaccinated.
The majority of people in hospital with Covid are vaccinated—but early reports suggest that the majority in intensive care are unvaccinated.
This is not correct. The true figure is more like 36%. However there are signs that unvaccinated people are the majority in intensive care.
Premier League footballer Marcus Rashford tweeted at Katie Hopkins telling her to “f*** off”.
The footballer did not reply when she tweeted at him.
The Twitter account that tweeted this is not Marcus Rashford’s verified account.
Ursula von der Leyen decides on EU laws, which national leaders and MEPs can’t do.
Ursula von der Leyen is the nominee for President of the European Commission. Her nomination will be confirmed if approved by the European Parliament.
She is the nominee to become President of the European Commission, which proposes new EU laws. But elected politicians—MEPs in the European Parliament and government ministers from all EU member states—get to review, amend and approve EU laws.
Rishi Sunak spent £8.7 billion on “dodgy PPE so useless it will have to be burnt”.
False. £8.7 billion refers to the loss in value of PPE bought in 2020/21 at the end of the financial year. While some will be burnt, DHSC said some of the equipment this loss related to was still usable—and some which wasn’t is being recycled or donated.
Some reports suggest Covid-19 vaccines have caused a 2,000% increase in miscarriages.
There’s no evidence miscarriages are being caused by the vaccine. You would expect the number of miscarriages following vaccination to increase as more younger people of childbearing age, a proportion of whom may have a miscarriage, become eligible to get vaccinated.
The EU budget is not spent on subsidising the French or German working week, or transport and utilities systems.
The retirement age for women in Poland is 60—the lowest level in the EU. For men it’s 65 (which is the most common retirement age for men and women in EU countries).
Youth unemployment is down 44% since 2010.
Youth unemployment has fallen in the last eight years, and young people stay on in full time education more than they used to.
Nearly 9 per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds had used Class A drugs in the past 12 months.
Extending the Brexit transition period would cost an estimated 15 billion.
We can’t know for sure—much will depend on the size of the EU’s next budget and the sum would probably have to be negotiated. But £15 billion a year seems a reasonable estimate for now.
They can claim £25 for food bought during the day provided they are staying overnight outside of London and their constituency.
Incorrect. MPs can claim £25 for food bought during the day if they stay overnight outside their constituency and London.
The government has been "peddling misinformation" by claiming that business rates will fall in the majority of English council areas next year.
Whatever the impact it won’t happen straight away. The impact of the revaluation on 1 April will be phased in over the next few years.
The government's figures aren't the only way to look at the impact of the revaluation, but it’s not necessarily been "peddling misinformation". Its estimates ignore regular rate rises that match inflation, and assume that some businesses will successfully appeal against the revaluation of their property. If you factor in inflation and look at the picture before appeals, then most English council areas will see average rates rise from next year.
The Covid-19 virus is not spread asymptomatically. Only sick people give it to other people.
False. The virus can be spread by asymptomatic and presymptomatic people.
Everything is closed except supermarkets, pharmacies and petrol stations.
Other shops, including pet shops, dry cleaners and Post Offices can remain open.
An un-edited photo shows a skull-shaped cloud seen in California.
A picture which shows a skull which looks like a cloud in California has been faked. The cloud is taken from an Iron Maiden album cover.
This image is fake and the skull comes from an Iron Maiden album cover.
Allegations of people pretending to be other people to steal their votes doubled nationally between 2014 and 2016.
Allegations of personation at polling stations did double from 21 in 2014, to 45 in 2016. The UK statistics Authority said that isolating 2014 to 2016 is “not typical of the fuller time series”. The number of allegations fell again to 28 in 2017 and there were 22 a year on average since 2010.
JustGiving has kept a large percentage of the funds raised by Captain Tom Moore for the NHS. Some posts say the platform has kept £2 million.
Posts on social media claim the platform kept money raised by the veteran and intended for NHS Charities Together.
This is not right. JustGiving does charge processing fees and collects voluntary donations, but says more than 97% of money raised goes to charity. The platform has donated £100,000 to Captain Tom’s fundraiser.
People with cancer have a pH that is too acidic.
The EU has put up trade barriers with African countries.
Nigel Farage talked about the EU putting up trade barriers on African countries. The majority of African countries have no tariffs on exports to the EU, although a handful do face some tariffs.
The majority of African countries have no tariffs on exports to the EU, although a handful do face some tariffs.
The new coronavirus is actually the impact of 5G exposure.
This is incorrect, the new coronavirus is a virus and there is no evidence that 5G is harmful to people’s health.
MPs receive expenses and an allowance for food and booze.
A Facebook post, which compares starting salaries of MPs and NHS staff, incorrectly suggests that MPs can claim alcohol from expenses.
MPs cannot claim expenses for alcohol. MPs do receive expenses and can claim up to £25 for food and non-alcoholic drinks per night if they stay outside their constituency or London area. Catering on the parliamentary estate is also effectively subsidised, but is not solely for MPs.
So far UK temperatures have been milder than usual, according to the Met Office.
We have had a warmer than usual winter, in the UK at least.
NHS England head Simon Stevens has said the government’s spending commitments are a “clear acceptance of our argument” and that their case for funding has been “heard and actively supported”.
The government has misquoted a statement from Simon Stevens in 2015.
The government is misquoting Mr Stevens. He has welcomed the fact that the money has been ‘frontloaded’ so that more is spent in earlier years and previously said the NHS’s requests are being heard in the context of public spending constraints. He has since commented that it would be a “stretch” to say the NHS is getting all of what it asked for.
Kary B Mullis invented the PCR test that’s being used as the Covid-19 test. He died suddenly in August 2019.
Rumours about the inventor of the process of PCR, which is used to test whether someone currently has Covid-19, have been spreading on social media.
He did invent PCR, which is a process used to test whether someone currently has Covid-19. He did die in August 2019.
“Smart dust”, invented by Hitachi, has GPS capabilities and can be absorbed after being sprayed onto people, taken in food or drink or even injected.
In 2006 Hitachi announced the world’s smallest radio frequency identification, known as “smart dust”.
While Hitachi did unveil a tiny chip in 2006, there is no indication it has GPS capabilities or that it would work after being implanted in the human body.
A picture shows a horse that was found living in a flat in Preston, Lancashire.
The picture has been shared over 25,000 times, but was actually taken in Illinois in the USA. It’s not a real horse.
It’s a picture of a model horse in a window in Illinois, USA that’s been there since at least 2006.
The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies said that 1 June was too soon to reopen schools.
This was the opinion of the Independent SAGE, who are a different group of scientists.
This is incorrect. It was the Independent SAGE, a different group, who gave this advice.
The evidence suggests pupils who get into grammar schools do better than they would under comprehensive education, but the majority who don’t get in do worse.
Italy has concluded Covid-19 is not a virus, and people are actually dying of amplified global 5G electromagnetic radiation poisoning.
Incorrect. Covid-19 is caused by a virus, called SARS-CoV-2, not 5G.
You can sign the Revoke Article 50 petition repeatedly using the same email address.
It’s possible to use the same email address to sign the Revoke Article 50 petition up to two times.
It’s possible to use the same email address twice but no more than that.
You are twice as likely to get into the University of Oxford as a white applicant (24%) than a black applicant (12%).
Correct, for UK undergraduate applicants between 2015 and 2017.
The latest minutes from the Monetary Policy Committee at the Bank of England do warn that some jobs might be lost, at least in the short term. This is in line with what other economists have said about the impact on the economy of leaving the EU.
Iain Duncan Smith has been awarded a knighthood for services to the country.
He has been knighted in the New Years Honours for political and public service.
Those who fought on the beaches of Northern France now have to pay for their TV licence.
A widely shared post on Facebook incorrectly claims migrants who arrive in Britain receive a free TV licence, while pensioners have to pay for one.
The free TV licence for most over 75s ended on 1 August 2020.
Correct. A full working week in France is officially set at 35 hours. Many employees agree to work more than 35 hours per week—but they will be compensated for this, for example through additional holiday.
In Scottish education, bright children from poor areas are two years behind their better-off peers.
High-achieving well-off pupils in Scotland perform better at science, reading and maths than high-achieving poor pupils, according to research.
15 year-olds from poorer families in Scotland were found to be roughly 2-3 years behind their better off peers in recent research comparing performance in science, maths and reading. That’s one of many ways to measure the attainment gap, so this answer isn’t definitive.
London has the highest proportion of babies with at least one parent born outside the UK.
That’s correct. More babies born in London have at least one parent born outside the UK than anywhere else in England and Wales.
Youth unemployment is at historically low levels.
At 12.5% youth unemployment is among the lowest it’s been since 2005.
1,800 more patients are seen within the four hour A&E standard every single day compared to 2010.
Correct, comparing attendances in 2009/10 with 2016/17. More people are also waiting more than four hours. As a proportion of all attendances fewer patients are seen within four hours.
Eight Oxford colleges are less than 1% black.
Correct, for undergraduate students from the UK who took up their place between 2015 and 2017.
More than one million people are not receiving the social care they need.
Age UK say more than one million people are not receiving the social care they need, but the research hasn't been published yet. They've produced similar estimates before.
The research behind this isn’t published yet, so we can’t say how accurate it is. Age UK has previously produced similar estimates, based on asking people whether they need help with at least one daily task every time they need it.
Pubs and restaurants caused less than three per cent of coronavirus infections in the week before the 10pm curfew, official data shows.
This is a misreading of data on the number of outbreaks or clusters identified by Public Health England.
This is a misreading of data which only covers outbreaks and clusters where more than one person has or is suspected to have a respiratory infection. This data does not necessarily confirm where a new case was picked up.
Nicola Sturgeon has banned the Union Jack from British government buildings and replaced it with the EU flag.
But she has instructed that the European flag be flown on a daily basis.
The Union Flag has not been banned from Scottish government buildings. It is still flown on Remembrance Day as has always been the case. However, it’s true that in 2021, Nicola Sturgeon instructed that the European flag be flown daily, except for on specific flag dates.
The German federal government only expects the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine to have an effectiveness of eight percent among the over 65s.
A report in German newspaper Handelsblatt claimed that the AstraZeneca vaccine was only 8% effective among over 65s.
The German government said it couldn’t confirm the report. Public data shows older adults had a similar immune response to the vaccine as younger adults, though there is limited data for over 65s.
The EU currently represents 15% of the world's economy and it’s forecast to go down to 12% by 2030.
Although the EU’s GDP is growing, it is at a slower rate than the rest of the world’s.
There is no single estimate, but two separate IMF figures say the EU’s share (including the UK) of the global economy is around either 16% or 22% in 2017. That share has been decreasing and is expected to continue doing so. One estimate for 2030 says it could fall to around 12% (assuming the UK is no longer part of the EU).
A study shows that drinking lots of tea and coffee reduces the risk of stroke and dementia.
A study which has shown a possible link between drinking tea and coffee and reduced risk of strokes and dementia does not determine that this is definitely the cause. The study shows correlation.
This study shows that there was a link between a moderate intake of tea and coffee a reduced risk of certain types of stroke and dementia. However, the study did not show that tea and coffee intake was definitely the cause. It also found that very high tea and coffee intake was linked with a higher risk than drinking none.
Natural immunity is robust, complete, and durable. It cannot be improved upon by vaccination, or any other method.
False. Studies have shown natural immunity to Covid-19 can wane, and that, among people who have been infected, those who have been vaccinated are less likely to be reinfected.
At least 25 children have sadly died from Covid in England alone, but we can find no evidence of a child dying as a result of the vaccine.
This is not true. In England alone, 25 children had died as a result of a Covid-19 infection up to the end of February 2021.
In Wales you can exercise near your home more than once a day if you wish but only with members of your household.
The Royal British Legion will not be selling poppies in certain areas to avoid upsetting “minorities”.
This incorrect claim appears every year.
The minimum wage should be £18 an hour, because in 1999 one hour’s pay at minimum wage could buy you 72 Freddos, but in 2017 it could only buy you 30 Freddos.
The price of Freddos has risen much faster than inflation, and so has the value of the minimum wage.
Actually, you could have got 36 Freddos in 1999. More broadly, Freddos are not a good measure of inflation. The price of Freddos rose about five times faster than inflation from 1999 to 2017, but the minimum wage also rose above inflation in that period.
In 2017/18 an estimated 210,000 people aged 60 to 74 were victims of domestic abuse, most of which was carried out by a partner.
Around 210,000 people aged 60 to 74 in England and Wales are estimated to have been victims of domestic abuse in 2017/18. Of those people, 152,000 were victims of domestic abuse by a partner. However, the data is likely to underestimate the true extent of domestic abuse.
The latest government reshuffle means the government looks more like the country as a whole.
Women, ethnic minorities and people who attended a comprehensive school are all underrepresented within the Cabinet.
Following the January 2018 reshuffle, the government can appear more or less diverse depending on how you look at it. In any case, women and ethnic minorities are underrepresented compared to the UK population, and people educated at private school are overrepresented.
The Daily Mail front page on 11/11/2019 said “An official report finds that Boris Johnson’s Conservative party received donations from nine Russian donors with suspected links to the Kremlin. Does our Prime Minister choose to publsh [sic] it? No, Johnson PERSONALLY blocks publication of the report.”
A fake Daily Mail front page criticising Boris Johnson is circulating online.
A picture shows Jeremy Corbyn shaking hands with Tariq Mahmood, who has served a prison sentence for ballot rigging.
A post on Facebook shows a genuine photo of Jeremy Corbyn shaking hands with Tariq Mahmood, who was convicted in 2008 for electoral fraud.
The photo is genuine and shows the two shaking hands during 2019 the Peterborough by-election. Mr Mahmood was jailed in 2008 for electoral fraud. Police found no electoral fraud offences were committed in the 2019 by-election.
66% think Theresa May is aiming for a Brexit that is too "soft".
That's of adults in Great Britain voting 'Leave' in the 2016 referendum, according to one survey. Among all adults in Great Britain, it's 40%.
After 18 September, the government is going to say that because there were no objections, they will roll out unlicensed vaccines.
Unlicensed (rather than untested) vaccines are already allowed to be rolled out by the government in circumstances such as a pandemic. The government is consulting on whether to clarify the rules around this.
World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab wrote in “Covid-19: The Great Reset” that four billion people would die through planned epidemics, war and starvation by 2050.
An essay passage that claims humanity will be wiped out by ‘organised epidemics‘ has been wrongly attributed to World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab
He didn’t say that. It’s a passage from a 1992 conspiratorial text which seems to wrongly attribute it to novelist H.G. Wells.
Half of everything we sell to the rest of the world goes to the EU.
In 2014, the EU accounted for around 44% of the UK's exports of goods and services.
The proportion of all goods and services exported going to the EU was 44% last year.
The number of EU nurses coming to the UK has fallen by 90% since the Brexit vote.
The number of nurses and midwives from the EEA joining the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s register fell by 91% from 2015/16 to 2017/18.
The government minimum wage so that people can live reasonably is £8.72 an hour x 36 hours equals £1,256 per month, x 12 months equals £15,070 per year.
The post uses an average figure for the poorest pensioners and compares that to the minimum wage for people over 25.
This is broadly correct for workers over the age of 25.
A CDC study on 12 to 17 year-olds who got the Pfizer vaccine found 397 reports of heart inflammation.
There were just under 400 reported cases of myocarditis, none of them fatal, after 8.9 million teens were vaccinated in the US.
It’s true 397 cases of myocarditis were reported after around 8.9 million adolescents who got the vaccine.
Over the last 50 years, people in the UK have become richer in general. Life expectancy isn’t falling overall, but its rate of increase has slowed down in recent years.
Looking at the overall population of the UK this is incorrect. Over the last 50 years people have been getting richer. But if you look at specific groups the picture changes. Young people in their 30s today have around half the household wealth of those born a decade earlier at the same age.
The morning after pill is an abortifacient, so induces an abortion.
Jacob Rees-Mogg appeared to refer to the morning after pill as an ‘abortifacient’ in parliament. That’s not what it is.
The morning after pill doesn’t induce an abortion, but rather prevents ovulation so no egg is fertilised, preventing pregnancy, in the manner of contraception.
A picture shows mushrooms growing out of the hand of a dead raccoon.
This type of fungi does grow around decaying carcasses but the photographer says he staged the picture.
The photo is staged, and shows a type of fungi (which does commonly grow around decaying corpses) which has been placed in the paw of a dead possum.
Since the mid-1990s house prices have gone up nearly three times.
Jeremy Hunt said since the mid-90s house prices have gone up threefold while incomes of people in their twenties has gone up 20%. That underestimates income growth.
Correct. From 1996 to 2018, the average UK house price increased by around 300%.
The proportion of the NHS budget spent on private providers rose much more quickly under the last Labour government than it has since then.
The proportion of NHS spending going to private providers is growing year on year.
This is overstating the available figures, which only show spending since 2006/07. The growth rate is similar under both governments, and is higher under Labour counting its spending up to 2010/11.
Even if you have purchased your car you don’t technically own it, you are just the keeper, and your car paperwork proves this.
Vehicles should be registered in the name of the person who uses it.
This is not true, and misunderstands the purpose of car registration—which should be in the name of its regular user. The V5C document is not proof of ownership.
It’s not correct that violent crime is at a record high. Several reliable sources indicate that violent crime is far lower now than it was in the 1990s.
Police and hospital figures show knife crimes at or near their highest recorded levels. Knife crime is almost certainly rising at the moment, but no source is strong enough for us to be certain that it’s at record levels.
Options for post-Brexit trade deals with the EU will lead to between £39 billion and £158 billion less per year.
This is based on government analysis comparing 3 hypothetical deals to existing GDP projections, which explicitly can’t be used as economic forecasts and are very uncertain. Were they to be used anyway, these are figures for a 15 year period, not one year.
Giving all children a daily free meal at school improves their results.
A pilot programme rolling out free school meals for all primary school pupils in certain areas had promising results, although researchers say it’s not conclusive.
That’s the conclusion of a prominent study of a pilot programme carried out a few years ago, although some of its authors have cautioned against it being used to justify the roll-out of this policy nationwide. Older studies have pointed in the same direction.
The English countryside is too white and needs more ethnic minorities, says government report.
The government did publish a report about national parks, and parts of it discuss how to encourage black, Asian and minority ethnic people to visit these areas.
The report didn’t say the countryside was “too white”. It said ethnic minorities should be encouraged to visit national parks and other areas of outstanding natural beauty. It also said minorities should have better representation on these organisations’ boards.
Price inflation is “soaring” at a two year high of 1%.
Inflation is at a two year high, but saying that it’s “soaring” is a bit of a stretch.
It’s correct that consumer price inflation is at a two year high. But that’s far from a “soaring” rate of inflation.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics show the number of suicides during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic was down from 10.3 per 100,000 to 6.9 per 100,000.
Health secretary Matt Hancock was wrong to say figures for England show a decrease in the number of people taking their own life.
This is not correct. These figures show deaths registered during this period, not deaths occurring. Most of these suicides took place before 2020, and the ONS has said lower registrations are likely due to the impact of the pandemic on the coroner’s service.
The UK has the highest property taxes in the world.
It’s true that the UK government takes a higher proportion of GDP and a higher proportion of tax revenue in property taxes than any other developed country. It's not clear how much that tells us.
The UK does raise more from property taxes overall than any other developed country, but this includes things like council tax. It doesn’t seem to have the highest stamp duty (or equivalent) in the world.
The Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine contains viruses from chimpanzees.
A post on social media makes claims about viruses from chimpanzees and human foetal cells in AstraZeneca vaccine.
The vaccine uses a modified virus which was originally created from a virus found in chimpanzees.
Labour’s planned welfare spending will cost £520 billion.
This estimate for Labour’s welfare bill is meaningless because Labour haven’t detailed their welfare policies.
This is based on the assumption that the Labour Party introduces universal basic income for all adults at a certain level. It has so far only said it will trial such a scheme if it gets into government and not released much detail on how such a scheme would work.
The UK was able to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine more quickly because of Brexit.
The MHRA could have given the Pfizer vaccine the same emergency approval when the UK was in the EU.
This is not correct. Under European law, the UK was permitted to act independently to approve the vaccine in an emergency.
We spend more on national debt interest payments than we do on education, transport or the police.
About 5% of government spending goes on interest payments, although this is below the historic average.
This is wrong on education: the government spends £84 billion on education compared to £33 billion on debt interest. Police and transport spending is lower.
Keir Starmer stopped Jimmy Savile being charged in 2009.
Keir Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions when it was decided there was insufficient evidence to charge Savile, but he was not the reviewing lawyer on the case.
Mr Starmer was head of the CPS when the decision was made not to prosecute Savile but he was not the reviewing lawyer for the case. An official investigation commissioned later by Starmer criticised both prosecutors and police for their handling of the allegations.
The official Leave campaign is getting a similar amount of money as the Remain campaign.
Official campaigns will get some public money for the EU referendum in direct grants and via publicly funded benefits.
The government is spending an estimated £9 million sending pro-Remain leaflets to all UK households. This is on top of what the official campaign groups on either side of the debate will get in public money, which includes a free mailout.
Women aren’t allowed to breastfeed babies in the House of Commons.
It was ruled that breastfeeding was not allowed in the House of Commons Chamber and select committees in 2000, but a 2016 review has recommended changes.
Breastfeeding is not allowed in the House of Commons chamber and committees, though it is allowed in other areas of the Palace of Westminster.
The UK’s most popular book is The Modern Kama Sutra.
Claims that the UK’s favourite books of the last three years include the Modern Kama Sutra and a scratch and sniff book about cannabis are based on limited data.
This is wrong and based on data from one online marketplace. Other bestseller compilations from Amazon and Nielsen do not include the Modern Kama Sutra.
City of London Police and Martin Lewis are warning people about a scam involving banks and mobile networks.
This claim has been circulating since at least March 2020.
This is incorrect. They have not been warning about this specific scam.
Two and a half thousand more people every day are being treated within four hours in A&E departments.
More patients are being seen within four hours at A&E departments, but the percentage of visits processed within that time has been falling.
Correct, measuring patient attendances from 2009/10 to 2015/16.
The gender pay gap is at its lowest level.
The gender pay gap, measured by comparing median hourly earnings, is close to a record low level in the UK.
The Chief Medical Officer, Chris Whitty, plans for the current rate of Covid-19 infections and deaths to continue.
It is wrong to suggest that the government has said it would be happy for the Covid-19 death rate to remain at this level.
This is a misunderstanding of what Professor Whitty said. He was talking about hygiene rules continuing, not levels of infection staying the same.
Tax on Scottish whisky amounts to £20 billion a year.
False. A reliable figure for this isn’t available, but the economic output of the entire industry is far less than this.
Upskirting is not illegal because there is no specific crime covering the act.
We’ve looked at how the current law applies to “upskirting” and how proposed legislation would change this.
Upskirting offenders have been prosecuted under existing laws but there is criticism these don’t go far enough. A new bill would specify upskirting as a criminal act if passed.
A police officer appears to be taking drugs while on duty in a viral video.
A prank video showing someone in a police uniform taking drugs didn’t feature a real police officer.
The video was made as a prank. Police Scotland told us that it wasn’t a real police officer.
The new coronavirus is 400-500 micro and for this reason wide enough to be stopped by masks.
Graphics containing false advice about the new coronavirus, with Unicef branding have been spreading online.
The virus is 50-200 nanometres wide, and a mask, although sometimes necessary, won’t guarantee that you don’t get Covid-19.
The average rail fare in Britain has increased by 20% in real terms since 1995, though it dropped by 1% between 2017 and 2018.
The average rail fare in Britain has increased by 20% in real terms since 1995, though it dropped by 1%, factoring in inflation, between 2017 and 2018.
One in four pregnancies in England and Wales ends in abortion.
ONS data claims one in four pregnancies end in abortion, but this doesn’t count pregnancies which end in miscarriage.
This data does not include pregnancies which end in miscarriage. If the data factored these in, the proportion of all pregnancies which end in abortion would likely be considerably lower.
The vaccines aren’t safe during or prior to pregnancy.
Approximately 200,000 women across the US and England reported that they were or could be pregnant at the time of vaccination with no serious safety concerns regarding maternal or fetal outcomes. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists says that the vaccine “is considered to be safe and effective at any stage of pregnancy”.
Around half of free schools are in the 30% most deprived communities in the country.
Based on the available data, just under 45% of open mainstream free schools are in areas ranked as in the 30% most deprived.
Based on the available data (including deprivation data from 2008), just under 45% of open mainstream free schools are. Around half of free schools are in the 30% most deprived communities in the country.
Introducing a Land Value Tax would force homeowners with gardens to sell them.
Labour isn't committing to a 'Garden Tax'. Its manifesto only promises to review the council tax and business rate systems and consider new options such as a land value tax.
It would depend on how the policy was actually designed. Labour has only committed to considering the idea, as have the Green and Liberal Democrat parties.
Housing Benefit spending has risen by £4 billion.
We examine the exchange between the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition over the Housing Benefit bill.
Correct. The rise was £4.3 billion between 2009/10 and 2014/15 according to the Department for Work and Pensions, or £2.3 billion adjusted for inflation.
One in seven children aged seven to nine gets less than 15 minutes a week reading time with their parents.
Research found one in seven parents spend less than 15 minutes a week reading to their young children, but that doesn’t mean one in seven children are read to for less than 15 minutes.
A survey found one in seven parents reads to their child aged seven to nine for less than 15 minutes per week. That doesn’t necessarily mean the child’s other parent isn’t reading to them as well.
Labour was winning in the polls over the last year.
This is incorrect. Three isolated polls since the last general election have shown Labour ahead. Each time that has happened, most polls showed the Conservatives ahead. Individual polls aren’t enough evidence to see if one party is leading.
Ethylene oxide is the main ingredient used in antifreeze.
This is not true. It is used as an intermediate agent to produce other chemicals.
Austerity is to blame for 130,000 preventable deaths in the UK.
A think tank estimated that 130,000 deaths due to preventable risk factors wouldn’t have occurred if pre-2012 trends had continued between 2012 and 2017.
A think tank estimated that 130,000 deaths due to preventable risk factors wouldn’t have occurred in England if pre-2012 trends had continued between 2012 and 2017. It didn’t directly attribute this to austerity. It said that while spending reductions to public services were part of the reason for this, wider policy issues were also important.
The pineal gland can take on calcium deposits over time and fluoride can attach to calcium. Studies on the effects of fluoride on the pineal gland have proved inconclusive.
Reporting on the latest jobs data, the Evening Standard seemed to confuse flat wage growth with flat wages. Wages are growing at 1.9% per year in real terms.
Incorrect. Average employee wages are growing at 1.9% per year in real terms.
Covid-19 vaccines are killing many people according to data on the VAERS system.
When a death is reported on the US VAERS system, it does not mean it was caused by the Covid vaccine
Incorrect. Reports on VAERS are not evidence that the vaccine caused these deaths. Data collected so far suggests that Covid vaccines are safe.
One in three people aged 30 are going to live to 100.
The chance of reaching 100 for a 30 year old in the UK is estimated to be 17.2% for women and 12.5% for men. Not “one in three” as claimed by Matt Hancock.
This appears to be an overestimate. The latest estimates from the Office for National Statistics say that men aged 30 have a 12.5% (one in eight) chance of reaching 100, while women aged 30 have a 17.2% chance (one in six).
Wales has 11% of the UK railway track and gets 1% of investment.
Wales makes up about 11% of the rail network in England and Wales.
Wales has about 11% of the rail network in England and Wales. Research suggests it gets 1% of only a subset of investment spending. When you consider other investment spending, Wales gets a higher share.
Former New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian has resigned after accepting $65m in bribes from AstraZeneca and Pfizer.
While Australian politician Gladys Berejiklian has resigned recently it has nothing to do with vaccinations.
While Ms Berejiklian has resigned following a corruption probe, it has nothing to do with bribes from Pfizer or AstraZeneca. There is no evidence of bribery from either company.
23% of respondents to a survey of Royal College of Nursing members said they had taken an “additional paid job”, such as agency nursing, to help pay everyday bills and living expenses. We don’t know how representative this is of all nurses and this is based on a low response rate (8%).
The UK is the USA’s largest European export market.
Correct. 6% of all US exports came to the UK in 2018, making it the top export market in Europe and behind only Canada, Mexico and China globally.
There were 700 deaths from cancer in Ireland in August.
A viral post compares the number of deaths from cancer, suicide, alcohol and Covid-19 in Ireland, but it gets a lot wrong.
We don’t know these figures yet as it is too soon after the fact. The figure for cancer seems realistic from past trends, as there were around 830 deaths caused by cancer in Ireland per month in Q1 of 2020.
On average, Labour councils charge you £93 more in band D than Conservative councils, and Liberal Democrat councils charge you £120 more.
The Prime Minister claimed that band D average council tax is higher in Labour areas than Conservative ones. But band D rates are not a fair comparison. Average tax in Labour areas is lower.
Labour and Liberal Democrat councils have higher band D rates than Conservative councils, but this measure is misleading. Labour councils charge lower council tax on average than Conservative councils.
Ukrainians in the UK on a work visa can bring family members to the UK under the Ukraine Family Scheme.
Home Office guidance says the Ukraine Family Scheme isn’t currently open to relatives of Ukrainians on a UK work visa.
This is incorrect. The current guidance doesn’t allow people to join their relatives under these circumstances.
No more than 100,000 people have died of Covid in the UK.
More than 100,000 deaths have been caused by Covid, and it has killed thousands of people who had no pre-existing condition.
Incorrect. So far, 124,082 deaths have been recorded in England and Wales alone, where Covid itself was the underlying cause.
The UK gives the EU £12 billion per year.
Incorrect. Last year the UK made a net contribution of up to £9 billion (not counting any money that goes to the UK private sector).
Stopping all sugar intake will cause all cancer cells in your body to die.
There’s no evidence that this will lower the risk of getting cancer, or boost the chances of surviving if you are diagnosed.
In November 2021 there were 29 house buyers for each property in the UK
Data from estate agent membership organisation Propertymark estimates in November 2021 there were 29 buyers per house. This is probably too high.
This analysis likely overstates the ratio of house buyers per property.
Argos is offering a chance to “win” Samsung microwaves for £1.78.
Argos has told Full Fact that the Facebook post featuring the offer is not a legitimate post or page.
Argos have told Full Fact that this is not a genuine page or post.
Under new government plans, murderers of pre-school children will be subject to whole-life sentences for the first time.
It’s already possible for people who murder children to be given whole-life sentences, but usually only in certain cases.
£1.8 billion of money announced for the NHS over the next five years isn’t all new money.
It all depends on what you mean by new. But the £1 billion was money that had already been promised to hospitals but which they were unable to spend previously.
This depends on how you define ‘new money’. The Treasury will have to increase spending by this amount—but it is money that NHS trusts had already earned, but were subsequently told they couldn’t spend.
Vaccines don’t stop you getting Covid-19 or spreading it.
Being ill with Covid-19 and getting infected by the virus that causes it are not the same thing.
The Pfizer and AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccines reduce your chances of getting sick with Covid-19. There’s some limited evidence the Pfizer vaccine may stop you being infected with Covid-19 at all.
The clip claims that Covid-19 vaccines can alter a person’s DNA.
This is not true. mRNA vaccines do not alter DNA.
The government has cut police spending by 25% over the last five years.
Direct government grants to police forces have fallen by 25% over the last five years. Funding fell by 18% overall because forces were able to raise more money locally.
A little girl gets a dollar towards her kidney transplant every time her picture is shared.
An image from 2017 of a girl with leukemia is going viral, but she isn’t getting a $1 donation per share.
This is not true. The picture is from 2017, of a girl with leukemia, whose family was encouraging people to donate blood.
You can get side effects of Covid-19 vaccines simply by being in close proximity to someone who has had the vaccine.
There is nothing in the Covid-19 vaccines used in the UK that could cause vaccine shedding.
This is false. There is nothing in the Covid-19 vaccines used in the UK that could cause vaccine shedding.
The name ‘Ipsos MORI’ is Latin for ‘they die’.
Not really. This is what online translators translate 'Ipsos mori' to, but in reality it is garbled ungrammatical Latin. Ipsos MORI says its name was created from the merger of two companies and doesn’t mean anything.
The number of new cases in South Korea is declining.
This was correct when the viral post began to appear. Reported new cases declined from their peak in late February, and have been roughly level since mid-March
Queen Elizabeth II is being treated for Covid-19 with ivermectin.
Screenshots and clips of an Australian news segment about Queen Elizabeth II have been shared widely online.
There is no evidence to suggest this is true. The news channel, which accidentally broadcast a shot of ivermectin during a segment about the Queen’s treatment, has apologised and said it was the result of “human error”.
54% would be unhappy if the Chequers deal was carried through.
That's of adults in Great Britain voting 'Leave' in the 2016 referendum, according to one survey. Among all adults in Great Britain, it's 43%.
In 2018, the UK contributed £11 billion to the EU and received EU funding of £6 billion.
Data is not yet available for 2018. In 2017, the UK paid roughly £12 billion into the EU budget and received around £5.5 billion back in spending from the EU.
Further measures that cut UK corporation tax to 12.5%, matching Ireland, would cost the UK government £120 billion over the next five years.
It could reduce the government’s income, but we haven’t seen estimates for the overall effect.
Labour has offered us estimates which suggest the direct effect would be about half that. These estimates aren’t complete as they don’t account for how companies will react to the change.
57% oppose Theresa May's Brexit approach.
That's of adults in Great Britain voting 'Leave' in the 2016 referendum, according to one survey. Among all adults in Great Britain, it's 53%.
A vial for the Oxford vaccine existed in March 2020.
The Oxford vaccine has been in development since January 2020.
This is correct. The vaccine has been in development since January and in trials since March 2020.
There were more than 4,000 foreign criminals from other EU countries locked up in British jails last year.
There were 4,000 EU nationals in prison in England and Wales at the end of 2017, and over 9,000 foreign prisoners overall. It’s not easy to determine the cost of these prisoners to the taxpayer.
This is how many prisoners in England and Wales at the end of 2017 were citizens of other EU countries.
A police bulletin warns scammers are going door to door handing out face masks doused in chemicals that cause the wearer to fall unconscious, allowing them to rob the property.
Viral Facebook posts falsely claim criminals are handing out face masks doused in chemicals that cause unconsciousness so they can rob houses.
There is no evidence of this police warning or of this crime taking place. This claim has been debunked around the world.
Adoption without parental consent is unusual outside England and Wales.
Senior judges say that England and Wales is unusual in permitting non-consensual, or "forced", adoption. Academic research tells a subtly different story.
Research suggests that all or most other European countries do allow non-consensual adoption in some circumstances. But it seems much rarer in practice than in England and Wales.
West Yorkshire Police is investigating the Covid-19 vaccine programme.
Numerous Facebook posts incorrectly claim the Covid-19 vaccine programme is being investigated by West Yorkshire Police.
This is not true. A reference number was created following reports of alleged criminality but West Yorkshire Police has confirmed that no crimes have been recorded, no criminal enquiries are ongoing and there are no investigations relating to this report or any other alleged criminality relating to the vaccine program.
The asymptomatic rate is uncertain, although one recent study suggested that 76% of infected people had no symptoms on the day of their test.
The UK has taken in only 216 Syrian refugees.
A number of outlets are claiming that the UK has taken in so few Syrian refugees that you could fit them all on a tube train. This is wrong.
George Eaton, New Statesman Political Editor
The UK has taken in around 5,000 Syrian refugees. The 216 figure refers to an additional number resettled from around Syria under one particular scheme.
The last time a police officer was successfully prosecuted in the UK concerning the death of somebody in custody was in 1969.
Also two police forces and one officer have been prosecuted successfully for crimes related to the death of someone in custody since 1971.
There is at least one more recent case of a successful prosecution: a police sergeant was convicted of manslaughter in 1986. There have also been successful prosecutions for offences other than manslaughter and homicide.
21% of coronavirus deaths in England are in care facilities.
The UK is the fifth richest country in the world.
In terms of total GDP, it is the sixth- or ninth-richest, depending on which measure you use. In terms of GDP per capita, it is the 20th- or 27th-richest.
The number of people unemployed in the UK was higher at the end of the last Labour government than at the start
Correct. The UK unemployment rate and total number of people unemployed was higher when Labour left government than when it entered it. That said, unemployment was relatively low for much of the party’s term.
We built more homes in 2017 than in all but one of the last 30 years.
217,000 homes were added to the overall housing stock in England in 2016/17, the second highest amount in the last 26 years.
Correct for the last 26 years, looking at the total number of homes added to the overall stock including things like conversions, minus demolitions. There were 217,000 homes added in 2016/17.
The French Prime Minister wrote to the President of the European Commission asking the EU to punish the UK for Brexit.
Claims the French PM wrote to the EU President asking the EU to punish the UK for Brexit have been controversial. We look at what his letter actually said.
The letter did not use the word “punish”. But it did call on the EU to take action against the UK with respect to the latest fishing row, which some could interpret as punishment for Brexit.
Direct government grants to the police have been cut for the past five years. They will continue to fall over the next few years. Most local forces have the power to maintain their budgets if they raise the maximum amount they are allowed to.
The Covid-19 vaccines in use are poorly tested experimental vaccines.
This is not true. The currently approved Covid-19 vaccines have all been through testing in multiple stages of clinical trials.
All Commonwealth countries take 9% of UK exports.
UK exports to the other 50 or so Commonwealth nations were 9% of the total in 2015.
A famous photo from the aftermath of bombing in Japan in 1945 was taken by a soldier who spotted a child carrying his dead sibling and was told “he’s not heavy, he’s my brother”.
The post claims to recount an interaction between a US soldier and a child in the aftermath of the bombing of Nagasaki in 1945.
The picture was taken by a US Marine on assignment to photograph the aftermath of bombings in Japan in 1945, but there’s no evidence the specific interaction described actually happened.
Health visitor numbers peaked in October 2015 at 10,309. Numbers have fallen by 2,065 or 20% since then.
An image shows Greta Thunberg with George Soros.
The photo has been edited to put George Soros’ face over Al Gore’s.
The image has been edited. It actually shows her with Al Gore.
Immigration has a small impact on average wages, but affects particular types of workers such as low-wage workers, more significantly.
UK research suggests that immigration has a small impact on average wages of existing workers but more significant effects for certain groups: low-wage workers lose while medium and high-paid workers gain.
Jean Monnet said a European superstate should be created without the understanding of European people.
The text has been circulating online for some time attributed to Monnet, but he doesn’t seem to have said it.
This quote doesn’t seem to come from Monnet, but originated in a 1997 book when the author summarised what he thought Monnet’s intentions were in developing the precursor to the EU.
53% of coronavirus deaths in Sweden are in care facilities.
This is not correct. The ECDC report says 53% of care homes in Stockholm county reported Covid-19 cases. 50% of all Covid-19 related deaths in Sweden amongst over-70s were in long term care facilities.
AstraZeneca translates to ‘weapon that kills’.
The Covid-19 vaccine developer got its name from a merger of two companies.
It doesn’t. This claim is made by selectively choosing definitions from different languages and cultures. AstraZeneca’s name was created from a merger, with ‘Astra’ coming from the Greek for ‘star’.
Incidences of heart attacks, Bell’s palsy, congenital malformations, female infertility, pulmonary embolisms, neurological abnormalities and cancers have increased dramatically, according to NHS data.
A post on Instagram claims that infertility and neurological conditions have increased by more than 400%.
The figures published in the social media post are based on false US military data, not NHS data.
The British Medical Association advises that without immigrants “many NHS services would struggle to provide effective care”.
That is an accurate quote from the BMA from 2014. It has made similar comments since.
Anxiety levels among young teenagers dropped during the coronavirus pandemic, a study has suggested.
A study which found that students’ anxiety levels were lower during the pandemic than in October 2019 was conducted among year 9 students in the south west of England.
There is nothing wrong with the study, which surveyed year 9 students in the south west of England. But this data may not be representative of children across the country and in other age groups.
Refugees or illegal immigrants living in Britain get a total yearly benefit of £29,900.
This viral image claims that pensioners can collect just a fifth of the benefits ‘illegal immigrants’ and refugees can. But how much can each group really get?
Illegal immigrants cannot collect benefits. Refugees can on the same basis as UK nationals once their request for asylum is granted—but this figure is unusually high.
A woman in her twenties will earn 95p for every pound that young men of their age earn.
That’s what you’d expect on average. If you knew nothing about two people apart from the fact that one was a woman, one was a man, and both were working and in their twenties, you’d expect the woman to earn about 5% less than the man.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has increased at twice the rate in the North as in the rest of the country.
It's correct that the number of FDI deals in the North has increased at double the rate of the rest of the country. But that doesn't tell us how much these deals are worth.
It's correct that the number of deals has increased at twice the rate. We don’t know how much each of these investment deals was worth.
A report this week found 120,000 unnecessary deaths are happening every year because of austerity.
A report estimates 120,000 more people have died since 2010 than would have if the mortality rate from 2001-10 had stayed the same.
An academic paper has estimated there were around 120,000 more deaths in total between 2010 and 2017 than there would have been had the mortality rate between 2001 and 2010 continued. Restrictions on health and social care spending is one of a number of possible explanations for this, and the findings need to be treated with a bit of caution.
A video claims there is a space in instant noodle cups.
This space is designed by manufacturers to assist with the transportation and cooking of the noodles.
The rise in deaths is the largest for almost fifty years, prompting concerns about a crisis in elderly care.
Reports this morning have said that a rise in the number of deaths prompted warnings of a crisis in care for the elderly.
Provisional data suggests the increase in deaths in England and Wales from 2014 to 2015 was the largest annual rise since 1968. The rate of death—the number of deaths per 1,000 population—is also thought to be up. The ONS told us the higher number of deaths was due to the flu.
Business rates are set to rise for more than 500 businesses from 1st April 2017.
That’s correct, although rates are set to fall for many others.
Conservative councils recycle more of their waste than Labour councils.
The best available data shows that Conservative councils recycle more of their waste than Labour.
Correct. In 2017/18 Conservative councils in England recycled, reused or composted around 49% of their waste, compared to 36% in Labour councils, based on the best available data. Research suggest that variation in recycling rates can’t solely be put down to which party runs your council, though.
Research finds short term breaks from school are harmful to pupil attainment.
The research doesn't prove that holidays cause poorer attainment, only that pupils with higher rates of absence overall perform less well.
The government spends around £50 billion a year to support people with disabilities and health conditions.
The government spends around £50 billion on benefits which either go wholly or in part to disabled people, people with health conditions and their carers, including housing benefit and income support.
The government spends around £50 billion on benefits which go to disabled people and people with health conditions and their carers. This includes payments that aren’t directly to do with people’s health condition such as housing benefit and income support. This figure doesn’t tell us about how individual people’s entitlements have changed due to recent changes to the benefits system.
The case of Bell v Tavistock means it’s illegal to give teenagers the Covid vaccination without parental consent or a court order.
A 2020 court case, known as Bell vs Tavistock, doesn’t mean it’s illegal to vaccinate teenagers without parental consent or a court order
Not true. The case of Bell v Tavistock is only about treating children with gender dysphoria and doesn't change the law about when teenagers can give informed consent to medical treatment generally.
Polysorbate 80 and 20 are in vaccines and cause cancer in animals and are linked to autoimmune issues and infertility.
Tiny amounts of Polysorbate 80 is in a type of flu vaccine. There isn’t evidence ingesting it is linked to these issues in humans.
Labour party members voted to debate Palestine rather than Brexit and the NHS at the 2018 Labour Conference.
This is correct, although Brexit was still debated due to being chosen for debate by Trade Unions. CLP members are usually encouraged to vote for options not chosen by the Unions.
Remaining in the EU gives us the right to vote on our laws. And a court to make sure that British people and businesses are fairly treated.
Correct, remaining would mean UK citizens have a vote on legislators and to be heard in court (so does leaving).
More than 11,500 children have been admitted to English hospitals with malnutrition since 2015.
This is incorrect. The true figure is at least 2,112 lower, and will be much lower still if the same mistake was made with every hospital.
A city centre fight was filmed in Luton as pubs re-opened in April 2021.
A film of a brawl in a city centre street was not taken in Luton as the pubs re-opened.
The video was actually taken in the Netherlands last year, ahead of a football match.
There's no evidence to suggest this is true.
Some grammar schools get less than £4,500 per pupil. Other state schools can receive as much as £8,000.
English grammar schools received around £700 less state funding per pupil than other state schools in 2016/17.
Correct. In 2016/17 English grammars received on average £4,500 per pupil while other state schools received £5,200.
A typical taxpayer pays £1,075 less income tax than they did in 2010.
The typical taxpayer will pay £850 less tax in income tax 2018/19 compared to 2010/11, once inflation is included, due to increases in the personal allowance.
Correct, a typical taxpayer pays £1,075 less in income tax now than in 2010/11 but this calculation doesn’t account for inflation. It's around £850 less in income tax once this is factored in.
Class sizes are soaring under the Conservatives.
Average class sizes in English primary schools are up since 2010, although secondary school classes are very slightly smaller.
The average class size in English state primary schools has been increasing. It rose from 26.4 pupils in 2010 to 27.1 in 2016. In secondary schools, average class sizes have dropped from 20.5 to 20.4 in the same period.
Obesity kills 30,000 people a year, or 82 a day.
An Instagram post compares recent Covid-19 and obesity mortality rates which are not representative of the wider picture.
This was an estimate made by Public Health England in 2017.
Covid-19 vaccines are not approved for use.
This is untrue. All three of the vaccines currently in use in the UK (Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Moderna) have been authorised for use. A fourth, Janssen has been authorised, but is not yet in use.
The UK has the lowest recycling rate in Europe.
The UK has a fairly average recycling rate for the EU.
Incorrect. The UK’s recycling rate is about average among EU countries.
There are around 9,000 people living in the Calais migrant camp. In June there were around 4,480.
Officials and charities disagree over an extra 2,000 migrants in the Calais camp. We look at how both got their figures.
The official estimate is that there are around 6,900 people in the camp, though local charities have counted around 9,100. Charities have suggested that different counting methods and migrants’ reluctance to speak to authorities may be behind the difference.
Home Office figures suggest new immigration rules will mean a reduction in unskilled EU migration of 90,000.
Figures reportedly briefed by the Home Office suggest that migration law change could cut unskilled EU migration by 90,000. That’s higher than the number of unskilled EU migrants coming to the UK now.
The number of unskilled EU migrants coming to work in the UK is already less than 90,000, so the government cannot cut it by 90,000 with changes to immigration rules.
Omar Salem, the man with a sick daughter who confronted Boris Johnson at Whipps Cross hospital, was wearing a microphone.
It’s extremely unlikely from the sound quality in all the videos taken at Whipps Cross we can find that the man was wearing a microphone.
He wasn’t, according to eye witnesses, photographs and audio of the exchange.
A probable new link has been found between the Pfizer jab and the heart condition myocarditis.
Most men studied in Israel had to go into hospital for a few days but the majority of cases were quite mild.
Researchers reporting to the health ministry in Israel have found a possible link between mild myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) in young men and getting the second dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
Criminals are sent to jail only after committing 55 offences.
In prison sentences of less than six months, the average number of previous offences was 60 for females and 57 for males.
This is misleading. In prison sentences of less than six months, the average number of previous offences was 60 for females and 57 for males. This includes offences that have previously resulted in a prison sentence and the figures may count the same people more than once.
There are more than 850,000 registered sex offenders in the UK.
A Freedom of Information request showed there are almost 100,000 people on the sex offenders register in England and Wales.
This is not true. A Freedom of Information request, published in May 2021, showed there were 95,844 people on the sex offenders register in England and Wales.
A video claims to show an anti-President Trump protest during his state visit to the UK.
The video is of an anti-Trump protest, but not from this year; it’s from his visit to the UK in 2018.
50% of mental health problems are established by age 14 and 75% by age 24.
A New Zealand study of those born in the early 1970s, throughout their lives found that around 50% of those with mental health conditions by age 26 had developed them by age 14 and 75% by age 18.
This was the finding of an American study that interviewed people to diagnose mental health conditions and asked them about when their condition began. The study’s authors said the findings were likely to be “conservative” and that some people might not remember when their condition started correctly.
This police car’s MOT certificate is overdue.
Even though a police car’s registration may show as ‘overdue’, the government’s MOT checking site explains the vehicles are exempt.
That’s what the government’s checking service says. It also says that police cars are exempt from the MOT.
The governor of the Bank of England has said that 15 million jobs in the UK could be stolen by robots.
The Bank of England has estimated that 15 million jobs in the UK could be automated over the next few decades, equivalent to just under half the jobs in the UK right now.
That's one way of putting it. Mark Carney quoted an estimate that 15 million jobs in the UK could be automated over the next few decades. In the past, new technology has created new types of work and hasn't caused mass unemployment in the long run.
The Covid-19 vaccines have been authorised on an emergency licence, because they are still in clinical trials.
Two of the vaccines have received temporary authorisation, and the Moderna vaccine has been issued conditional marketing authorisation. These classifications are regulatory tools to allow approval at the earliest time possible during an emergency situation, as soon as there is robust data to show that the benefits outweigh the risks.
More than a quarter of English adults are now obese.
26% of adults were measured to be obese in a 2016 survey. This has been at roughly the same level since 2010.
Scrapping maintenance grants will price students from low income households out of university.
The government is scrapping maintenance grants, replacing them with larger loans. What effect will this have?
While at university they'll get more money than they did under the old system, and only students who go on to be high earners will pay back more.
An Israeli study found that natural immunity was better at protecting people from Covid-19 than the vaccine.
A member of the public was allowed to share vaccine misinformation during a live broadcast.
An Israeli research paper did find that immunity from prior infection may be more effective at protecting a patient from Covid-19 than vaccination. However, the study also found that a combination of natural immunity and vaccine-induced immunity was even more effective.
The coronavirus patent was applied for in 2015.
Incorrect. A company applied for a patent on a weakened version of a virus in the same family as the new Wuhan virus.
Childcare costs in England have risen up to seven times faster than wages.
Parents of under-twos are particularly affected by rising nursery costs.
This is roughly the case for parents of children under two in London from 2008 to 2016, according to research by the TUC. The exact changes are unclear. In England overall it is three to four times faster.
The UK and US have exported no vaccines.
Companies in these countries have fulfilled contracts to export the vaccines to countries like the UK.
This seemed to be the case when the claim was made, though it has since been reported that the UK sent over 700,000 doses to Australia in February/March though this has not been confirmed. The US also sent 2.7 million doses to Mexico in late March.
The nurses that Boris Johnson claimed saved his life are not registered in the UK.
Both are registered nurses working at St Thomas’s hospital.
This is incorrect. We found both nurses on the register.
The government spent £2.8 million protecting Donald Trump.
This was reportedly the extra cost to the Metropolitan Police for policing Donald Trump’s visit to London and Windsor (not including the protests). Since the tweet was written, the National Police Chiefs’ Council has said an “early estimate” of the total cost is nearly £18 million.
£785 million was allocated to local council public health teams.
Spend on contact tracing is a small part of Test and Trace. As of October, roughly the same amount had been spent on national and local authority tracing efforts.
The government has given £785 million in grants to local authorities in England to support the Covid-19 response, which is expected to be mostly spent on contact tracing.
The Conservative manifesto promised that per-pupil schools funding would be protected, and it’s now being cut.
The Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition clash over whether the budget for English schools has been cut.
Spending on English schools overall is increasing but per-pupil funding is set to fall in the next few years, once inflation is factored in. The Conservative manifesto promised to protect funding per pupil, but not necessarily in real terms.
Klaus Schwab wrote that four billion people would die through planned epidemics, war and starvation by 2050.
An Instagram post incorrectly claims that World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab is related to the Rothschild family.
He didn’t write this. It’s a passage from a 1992 conspiratorial text which also seems to wrongly attribute it to novelist H.G. Wells.
Local NHS has been allocated £570 billion to fund the NHS Long Term Plan.
English CCGs budgets are set to increase by around £3 billion each year in real terms over the next five years.
Over the next five years across England, CCGs’ budgets are expected to total around £570 billion in cash terms. Funding is set to increase by around £3 billion each year in real terms.
The royal family brings in £400m a year in private revenue, of which £360m is kept by government under the Sovereign Act 2011.
The Queen gets 25% of the profit from the Crown Estate. It’s impossible to be sure how much the monarchy contribute to the economy.
Incorrect. The Crown Estate brought in £330 million in 2017/18, this money goes to the government who then give the Queen a grant based on 25% of the Crown Estate’s income two years previously.But the Crown Estate isn’t the royal family’s private property. The Queen pays tax to government on her other private incomes.
The Manhattan project was a work of fantasy.
There is a vast amount of evidence that the Manhattan project was real.
Hundreds of birds found dead on the deck of a ship were killed by 5G.
Misleading Facebook post claims that hundreds of dead birds discovered on the deck of a ship were killed by 5G.
There is no evidence that 5G kills birds. They are thought to have died during migration.
The government spent £100 billion on Trident.
It’s hard to tell. The government expects replacing the current Trident nuclear submarine missile system will eventually cost around £31 billion, and it has committed to spending at least that. Suggestions for the future in-service costs of the system range from £70 billion to £150 billion over 30 years.
Currys is selling a Dyson hair dryer for £1.78.
A post on social media falsely claims that Currys is selling Dyson hair dryers for £1.78.
The offer is not real as confirmed by Currys.
A poll has shown that Britain wants to quit the EU.
Taken together, polls have so far suggested a slight lead for the ‘remain’ camp so far.
The survey wasn’t representative, so doesn’t tell us much about what voters as a whole want. Taken together, polls have so far suggested a slight lead for the ‘remain’ camp so far.
4.7 million unpaid carers fear getting sacked over caring commitments.
The poll it’s based on didn’t ask if people thought they would get sacked, it asked if they thought they would be forced to leave their jobs.
This figure is based on the results of a survey question answered by 280 working carers meaning there is some uncertainty about how accurate the figure is. It asked whether they thought they would ever have no option but to leave their existing job to help care for a dependent or relative due to lack of support and flexibility from their employer.
We’re seeing fewer families in absolute poverty in the UK.
It depends how you look at it and what time period you pick. If you take the claim to be referring to the period since 2010, that could still be correct or incorrect. The number of individuals in households that are in absolute poverty appears to have fallen, but the number of children has remained broadly the same.
The government is spending ‘record levels’ on mental health overall
57% of Clinical Commissioning Groups plan to reduce funding for mental health services, out of those who responded to an FOI request.
This seems plausible, but the government no longer publishes the survey that would show it for certain.
There are 26,911 words in the EU regulations on the sale of cabbages.
There are not 26,911 words in EU cabbage regulations. It’s an urban legend which dates back to 1951.
This is false. It’s a long-running myth that has been around since the 1951, and was originally about a USA government agency.
Top universities make offers to 55% of white applicants, but only to 23% of black ones.
Research is mixed on whether there's underlying racial bias in admissions to Russell Group universities.
These figures are correct, according to research looking at offers made by Russell Group universities, although they relate to applications rather than applicants. The reasons for the difference are complex - research has had conflicting findings on whether there is underlying discrimination.
The share of jobs that are high-skilled is falling.
The Shadow Chancellor says that the share of jobs classed as high-skilled fell in 2014. What's happening over the longer term?
This was true in 2014, but over the longer run the share of high-skilled jobs in the economy has been increasing.
Shamima Begum has secretly returned to the UK.
Shamima Begum is living in a refugee camp in Syria, not in secret in the UK.
This is not true—we know Ms Begum was in Syria on 14 February 2020. She is banned from returning to the UK, and there is no evidence to suggest she has.
If we left the EU without an alternative trade deal in place then we’d still have a choice about whether to put tariffs on imports.
We have a voluntary choice about import tariffs, but not the tariffs on our exports.
That’s correct. In general we’d have to apply the same tariffs to all our trading partners and keep them within limits agreed at the World Trade Organisation. It would be up to other countries, not us, to choose whether to charge tariffs on our exports.
Lionel Messi signing with Paris Saint-Germain doubled the club’s Instagram followers from 19.8 million to 40.2 million in 24 hours.
A Facebook post falsely claims that Messi signing with PSG doubled the club’s followers on Instagram.
It didn’t. After his signing was announced, the club’s Instagram followers increased by about 3 million.
The risk of a blood clot following a Covid-19 vaccine is worse than the cold or flu symptoms you may experience if infected.
A Facebook post implies the risk of developing a blood clot or heart problem from a Covid-19 vaccine outweighs the benefits.
This overstates the risk of blood clots caused by the vaccine. Furthermore, evidence suggests the risk of clotting and other arterial conditions is much higher following infection than vaccination.
You should gargle as a prevention with salt in warm water.
There’s no evidence this will prevent or cure the virus.
Tax credits originally cost £1.1bn. Now they've reached £30bn.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer claims tax credit spending has increased thirty-fold in 16 years. But not all the figures are comparable over time.
This figure only covers half a year, when the first tax credits were introduced in 1999. They cost over £4bn in their first full year compared to £28bn today.
A study found that 82% of people first encountered the term “cancel culture” in the past 12 months.
An article in The Sun far overstates the number of people who have heard of cancel culture.
Research actually shows that around a third of people first encountered the term in the past year. Almost half of the people surveyed said they had never heard it.
What the government has labelled the Omicron variant is actually cases of the common cold.
He claims he’s seeing an unnaturally large number of heart attacks and clot-related deaths, but that’s not reflected in the national data.
The Omicron variant of the virus has been sequenced, and over 45,000 cases of it have been confirmed in the UK so far.
The Bank of England governor says that post-Brexit trade deals could lead to “a golden age of trade”.
Bank of England governor Mark Carney said Brexit is the first test of the new global order, not that it could usher in a golden age of trade.
Mr Carney’s speech yesterday did not use these words. It did discuss both opportunities and risks from Brexit, but to describe his comments as suggesting a “golden age of trade” is misleading.
British old age pensioners get £106 a week.
People living in Britain as refugees are entitled to the same benefit and pension payments as UK citizens.
A full British state pension is worth £125.95 or £164.35 a week before top-ups (depending on when you were born).
The NHS was not “overwhelmed” during Covid-19.
This is somewhat subjective but there is lots of evidence indicating NHS trusts were under severe pressure during the peaks of Covid-19.
The NHS Long Term Plan will save 500,000 lives.
It’s unclear how NHS England plans to save 500,000 lives through its Long Term Plan. It hasn’t published much detail on how it calculated the figure.
It’s unclear how this will happen. NHS England hasn’t published much detail on how it calculated this figure. We’ve asked them for more information.
A video shows Matt Hancock saying the WHO told him there is no evidence for asymptomatic transmission of Covid-19.
He did say this, when talking about how the advice over time changed. It is now known that asymptomatic transmission is a factor in the spread of Covid-19.
Wealthy professionals are most likely to drink regularly.
Professionals and higher earners in Great Britain say they drink more regularly, if you count that as drinking weekly.
Broadly correct. We don’t have the exact data to confirm this, but high earners and people in professional jobs are more likely to say that they drink weekly than other people.
The “corona vaccine” is not safe or effective.
False. Clinical trials have shown that vaccines for Covid-19 work and are safe.
Betting on online slot machines has increased by 25% during lockdown.
This was claimed in an article when the rise has actually been since last year.
Incorrect. Betting on online slot machines fell during the lockdown but the number of players increased 25% between March 2019 and March 2020.
The single issue that voters in this country care about is immigration, and this issue of migrants trying to get here is at the top of voters’ concerns.
Most recent Ipsos Mori and YouGov polls don’t list this as the public’s number one concern.
This is not mentioned as the top concern facing this country in the most recent Ipsos MORI or YouGov polls.
At regional Covid-19 test centres, 98% of results are delivered within 24 hours.
Almost all the tests Matt Hancock described deliver results by the end of the next day—not within 24hrs
Incorrect. The most recent figure is about 72%.
Covid-19 is easily treatable at home. About 85% of hospitalisation and death is completely avoidable with early treatment.
The studies on which this claim is made have limits. Some new, expensive Covid-19 treatments can reduce the risk of hospitalisation and death.
German police can enter homes and forcibly vaccinate people.
A post on Facebook wrongly claims that German police can come into homes and forcibly vaccinate people.
This is not true, and there is no evidence of this happening.
The claim follows other misinformation that parasites and nanoparticles are in the swabs.
In 1918 Philadelphia ended quarantine to throw a parade for the war effort.
Philadelphia wasn’t in quarantine to start with when it held this parade.
The founder of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab is related to the Rothschild family.
This is not true. The post suggests Mr Schwab is related to a woman whose surname before marriage was Rothschild but is not directly related to the House of Rothschild. Mr Schwab has said they are not related.
Vaccines have severed the link between Covid-19 infections and serious disease or death.
Incorrect. Vaccinated people are much less likely to catch Covid-19, or get seriously ill or die from it, but the link between infections and deaths has not been removed completely.
The UK Statistics Authority say A&E performance figures have been fiddled.
Unpublished guidance to NHS Trusts has raised questions about whether A&E statistics can be trusted.
The Authority hasn't said that the figures have been fiddled. It hasn't said that they haven't yet, either. It has demanded that NHS England explain the impact of emails sent to NHS Trusts about counting A&E performance last October and how that might have affected the figures since then.
Many graduates will not pay back their student debt.
Most students won’t back their loans in full. The Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that around 83% of graduates will see at least part of their debt written off.
Correct according to forecasts. Estimates from the Institute for Fiscal Studies in October last year show about 83% of graduates are forecast to have some of their debt written off under the current system.
The pumps can now be filled with E10 fuel which will destroy old cars.
It’s been claimed the government spread fuel shortage lies to sell a surplus which was about to expire. There is no evidence of this.
E10 fuel is intended to phase out standard E5 fuel and isn’t suitable for all older cars. However, super unleaded E5 fuel will still be available.
The Conservatives introduced employment tribunal fees that stop workers from getting justice when treated unfairly.
The Coalition government introduced fees for employment tribunals. These can be repaid if cases are successful, but seem to have led to a big fall in number of people using employment tribunals.
The Coalition government introduced these fees, which can be repaid if cases are successful, but seem to have led to a big fall in number of people using employment tribunals.
The chance of getting a blood clot after the AstraZeneca vaccine is almost the same as being killed by a cow.
The risk of getting a blood clot after vaccination is higher than the risk of being killed by a cow, but the risk of dying from a blood clot after vaccination is about the same as being killed by a cow.
The UK is the only country in the EU whose health service is heavily dependent on foreign clinical staff.
A Telegraph columnist’s comments exaggerate by claiming the UK is the only EU country with a health service heavily dependent on foreign staff.
The UK has one of the highest levels of foreign-born doctors and nurses in the EU, but it’s not the highest.
Under Labour, UK steel production and employment in the industry halved.
Yes, if you compare 1997 to 2010, when the economy was in a slump. Production has been, broadly, in decline for decades.
A photo shows a tractor in Ukraine towing a Russian rocket.
An image from 2018 of a space rocket on board a train has been edited to show it being pulled by a tractor.
The image has been edited. The original from 2018 shows a Russian space rocket aboard a train.
Old photographs of scaffolding show the stones being restored, not constructed.
No it isn’t. It’s between 4,500 and 5,000 years old.
Clementine Churchill told her husband Winston Churchill that she could have made a former love interest, a street sweeper, prime minister.
The format of the anecdote, seen thousands of times on Facebook, is almost identical to false posts about other successful couples.
This anecdote has appeared in many different forms across the internet, with attribution to a number of famous political couples. There is no evidence that this conversation between the Churchills ever actually took place.
The top 1% of earners in the UK are paying 28% of the tax burden.
There aren’t any readily available figures for what proportion of all taxes the top 1% pays. This claim is just referring to income taxes.
This isn’t correct. The highest earning 1% in the UK pay an estimated 28% of all income tax – not the total “tax burden”. This is close to a record level, but it isn’t quite the highest percentage ever.
According to the Lisbon Treaty, in 2022 we have to give up our nationality.
Incorrect. There are no developed plans to change the nationalities of member states in any year.
Sky News tweeted: “BREAKING NEWS: New photos show Boris Johnson drinking with the Berkeley Hunt at get together during first lockdown. More to follow….#PartyGate”.
No such story about Boris Johnson and the Berkeley Hunt has been reported.
This tweet wasn’t tweeted by an official Sky News account. No such story has been reported.
More than a quarter of a million people came to the UK from the EU in the last 12 months – the equivalent of a city the size of Newcastle. If this continues for a decade, there will be over two million extra people.
Over a quarter of a million is correct according to official estimates, not quite as much as Newcastle’s population.
Luc Montagnier has said all vaccinated people will die within two years.
One in six A&E units in England are set to be closed or downgraded.
Research has shown one in six A&Es could be closed or downgraded based on their current plans, but it's speculative. We only know for definite that about a quarter of these will be closed or downgrade
These figures are mostly speculative at present. Research has shown this many could be closed or downgraded based on their current plans. At the moment we only know for definite that about a quarter of these will be closed or downgraded.
The vaccines have passed the same safety tests and procedures any other vaccine would.
Average UK household income rose from £20,448 in 1990 to £37,100 in 2020.
This is close to correct, if you adjust the 1990 figure for inflation. This is the disposable income (i.e. after taxes and benefits).
Being vegan for a year saves 3,320kg of CO2.
An academic study, which is cited as the evidence for this figure, shows the number is actually closer to half of this.
The overall teacher vacancy rate is 0.3% and has remained under 1% for the past 15 years.
Official statistics suggest that teacher vacancies remain low, but these may not fully reflect difficulties in teacher recruitment.
That's correct, but the rate has been rising, albeit from a very low level. The data is thought not to fully reflect difficulties in teacher recruitment.
Lorraine Kelly said photos from India showed the improvement in air quality driven by the lockdown, with the Himalayas visible in a photo taken after lockdown compared to one taken before.
The TV personality claimed photos showed how visibility of the Himalayas changed after lockdown. The ‘before’ image was edited and not real.
The “before” photo is just an edited version of the “after” photo, illustrating what the skyline might have looked like before lockdown. There is evidence the lockdown in India improved air quality and visibility to the point where the Himalayas were visible from Jalandhar.
Lots of scientists think vaccines kill more people than they save.
We don’t know which scientists are being referred to, but Covid-19 vaccines have saved vastly more lives than they have cost.
A 14 year-old girl is missing after being pulled into a car.
Posts are spreading on social media claiming the same girl is missing from multiple areas.
This is false. There are no reports of this happening. The picture is of a 15 year-old girl who briefly went missing in different circumstances in 2019.
Interest payments on the national debt are the fifth biggest item of government expenditure.
Correct. The government spends more on health, benefits, pensions and education (broadly defined) but debt interest takes up about 5% of all government spending (excluding payments to the Bank of England).
A photo shows two children who have decapitated their mother.
It’s a doctored photo, the original is just a family portrait.
People over six foot tall are twice as likely to get coronavirus.
It was widely reported that a survey showed men over six foot tall are more likely to be infected with coronavirus. However, the research does not prove this.
There is no proof of this. In the UK, taller men were more likely to report having had coronavirus, but this trend was the opposite in the US.
CNN used a photo of one of the vaccine recipients back in October.
Posts claim that CNN used a picture of one of the first vaccine recipients back in October. They did not.
It did not. CNN’s website has rolling news video at the top of some of its articles reflecting the current news, not the news at the time of that particular article’s publication.
The UK has nine out of the 10 poorest regions in northern Europe.
The UK has six of the poorest 10 regions comparing GDP per person against nearby countries, but this doesn’t mean the people who live there are poorer.
Incorrect, this is out of date. In 2016, the UK had six of the 10 regions with the lowest GDP per person, from a group of nearby countries. This isn’t a good measure of how rich or poor people in those regions are.
On 30th January 1939 Adolf Hitler asked President von Hindenburg to dissolve parliament to stop politicians bypassing “the will of the people.”
We’ve seen no evidence that Hitler referred to the dissolution of parliament as “the will of the people”.
This incorrectly conflates multiple events in Hitler’s rise. Von Hindenburg dissolved parliament at Hitler’s request in 1933 in order to hold an election. We’ve seen no evidence that Hitler said dissolution was to bypass those trying to stop “the will of the people”.
The Lancet says 6.5 million migrants have registered with GPs in the last 10 years.
6.5 million migrants have joined GP surgeries in the decade from 2007, but not all of them are here long-term and some were double counted.
According to the ONS, that’s how many new GP registrations there were between 2007 and 2017 where the person’s previous address was abroad. But migrants who moved between homes in the UK may have been double counted and we don’t know how many were only here short-term.
PCR tests should not be used to diagnose Covid-19.
PCR tests are the gold standard way to test for Covid-19, and are very effective.
Poland doesn’t have a “no-migrants” policy, but does have very few migrants. Its lack of terror attacks can’t be explained by this alone.
Poland doesn’t have a “no-migrants” policy but has very few foreign-born residents compared to other European countries.
The Centre for Social Justice recently produced figures which show that pupil absence grew by 55% during the previous lockdown, with more than 90,000 pupils now absent from school.
The former Conservative leader claimed that more than 90,000 pupils are now absent from school.
These are not recent figures. The CSJ published them in June 2021, and they describe pupil attendance more than a year ago. Therefore, they do not accurately tell us anything about the current picture of persistent pupil absence.
Covid-19 vaccination has resulted in “catastrophic death and injury figures”.
With 52 million people currently vaccinated in the UK, there have been 439,578 reports of adverse reactions and 1,972 reports of death following vaccination. However, these reports are not evidence vaccines caused those reactions or deaths. All Covid-19 vaccines are licensed as safe for use in the UK and continuously monitored.
Under Universal Credit, parents have to look for work when their child turns three. Some research suggests this could be more difficult for single parents—the majority of whom are women.
Correct, 90% of single parents with dependent children were women in 2017 in the UK.
There is a scam involving Santander customers being sent fake bank cards.
Tens of thousands of people have shared warnings about the scam on Facebook, but it doesn’t seem to be real.
We can’t find any evidence that this scam exists.
You can sign the Revoke Article 50 petition using any name you want.
It is possible to sign using a false name.
More testing for Covid-19 equals more cases and therefore equals more restrictions.
Testing identifies new cases. The number of positive cases isn’t the only measure used to understand the spread of the virus. The number of tests and things like the proportion of positive tests are also used.
Dominic Cummings said “Poor people are poor because they have inferior genes and brains. Rich people are rich because they are superior.”
Boris Johnson’s chief adviser did not write or say this phrase.
There’s no record of him having written or having said this phrase.
A photograph shows the Dynamo Kyiv football team in army uniform preparing to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war.
A photograph claiming to show the Dynamo Kyiv football team in army uniform actually shows members of a nationalist group in Ukraine.
The photograph doesn’t show any members of the football squad, but instead shows members of a nationalist group in Ukraine.
There were 6,507 suicides registered by coroners in 2018 - a rise of 11.8% on the previous year.
The number of registered suicides in England is up, but changes to how suicide is recorded may account for some of the rise.
Technically correct, but some of this rise may be due to legal changes making it easier for coroners to record suicide as cause of death.
VAT exemption on solar panels and heat pumps already happens in the EU, so this is not a benefit of Brexit.
Labour MP Chris Bryant also claimed that VAT exemption on solar panels already happens in the EU. This isn’t quite true.
This is not quite true. The EU requires member states to charge VAT on solar installations and heat pumps. However, from April, member states can choose to charge no VAT on solar panels and no less than 5% on heat pumps.
UKHSA data shows that the Covid-19 vaccines are negatively effective.
Data from the UKHSA vaccine surveillance report cannot be used to estimate effectiveness correctly—as the report itself makes clear many times.
Incorrect. This data cannot be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness. Other estimates from the UKHSA show that the Covid-19 vaccines are effective.
NHS staff will get a pay rise of between 6.5% and 29%.
A proposed deal will see pay rise for some NHS staff by between 4.5% and 29% over three years, including both salary rises and staff pay progression. The rise will be 6.5% for roughly half of staff.
Pay will rise for some staff by between 4.5% and 29% over the next three years. This includes the increases in salaries staff will get by progressing through their pay band over time, and pay rises would still occur without a new deal. It doesn’t cover doctors, dentists, or very senior managers.
A British old age pensioner gets a yearly benefit of £6,000.
A full British state pension is worth up to £6,500 or £8,500 per year. Pensioners may also qualify for top-ups, partner support, and additional benefits.
People from black and minority ethnic populations are most affected by detentions under the Mental Health Act.
If you're black and minority ethnic, you're more likely to be detained than if you're white. Overall, more white people are detained, since they make up a larger portion of the population.
A no deal Brexit means we would have free trade with the world.
The UK could import goods and services freely following a no-deal Brexit. But its exports would still be subject to other countries’ import regulations.
There were no psychiatric beds available overnight for NHS patients across England on Saturday 28 October 2017.
NHS England say it’s incorrect there were no psychiatric beds available overnight across England on 28 October 2017. Previously services providers have said no beds of particular types were free.
We don’t know how many beds were available as there are no published figures. NHS England says this is incorrect. Anecdotal evidence suggests there have been times when none of the correct type were available.
A video shows an Uber driver throwing a disrespectful passenger into a fountain in Manhattan.
Video of Uber driver throwing passenger into a fountain is a prank
The video is a staged prank altercation.
Labour used misleading figures, but there is evidence to show that the solar industry in the UK is stagnating.
This is misleading, because it compares two especially extreme months (March and April 2019), which almost always see a major drop in new solar capacity. Overall, the amount of new solar capacity being generated has stagnated significantly since 2017.
More disabled people have entered the workplace during this government.
The number of disabled people in work has increased over the last four years.
Correct. 3.5 million disabled people are in employment, compared to 2.9 million in 2013. The employment rate for disabled people has also increased from 44% to 49%.
Brazil produces 25% of the planet’s food.
UN data shows Brazil actually produces about 10% of the world’s food by weight and 4% by value.
This appears far too high. The most recent available data from the UN shows Brazil produces 10% of the world’s food by weight and 4% by value.
Tax evasion and tax avoidance costs the government £34 billion a year.
In 2013-14, HMRC estimate that they lost about £2.7 billion through tax avoidance and £4.4 billion through tax evasion—so about £7.1 billion overall.
This is wrong, according to the estimates it's using. HMRC estimates that £2.7 billion was lost through tax avoidance and £4.4 billion through tax evasion in 2013/14. £34 billion is the total value of tax that goes uncollected.
£1 per litre of road fuel is taken in taxes.
Claims are circulating that £1 per litre is now taken in taxes, but it’s more like 80-90 pence for fuel duty and VAT.
This is too high in fuel duty and VAT. These account for between 80p and 90p per litre of fuel sold, depending on how much you pay for fuel.
Scotland’s drug-related death rate is the highest in the EU.
Correct if you compare Scotland to a league table of EU sovereign countries. This is based on a comparison of the drug-related death rate per million people aged 15 to 64 in 2015 and 2016.
The Covid-19 spike protein which the Pfizer vaccine causes an immune response against also trains the body to attack syncytin-1, a protein in the placenta, which could lead to infertility in women.
The vaccine causes an immune response to a spike protein, but this almost certainly won’t make the body attack the placenta.
This claim has no basis. The spike protein on the Covid-19 virus and a protein that makes up the placenta have only a small amount in common, almost certainly not enough for the immune system to attack the placenta.
The average pensioner household is now better off than the average working household.
Research by a number of think tanks has found that the average pensioner income, after housing costs have been included, is now above that of the average person of working age.
That’s correct, once you account for housing costs, according to research done by the Resolution Foundation think tank. The Institute for Fiscal Studies also found in 2015 that the median income among pensioners, after housing costs, was 5% ahead of the typical non-pensioner. It’s not the case before housing costs.
There has been a 10% funding cut in real terms in sixth form and further education.
David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn clashed in Parliament on what’s been happening to funding for further education colleges and sixth forms.
That’s correct. Spending for 16-19 year olds in sixth forms and colleges fell by 10% between 2010/11 and 2014/15, after accounting for inflation, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
Mobile coverage in the UK is worse than Romania.
Is the UK really worse than Romania for mobile phone signal? A recently published report says yes.
4G availability is slightly worse on average in the UK than Romania, according to data from OpenSignal.
Phenol / phenoxyethanol is in vaccines and is used as antifreeze. It is toxic to all cells and can destroy the immune system.
These chemicals have been used in vaccines as preservatives. They are not in antifreeze.
Between 80,000 and 100,000 children are not on any school rolls at all.
The Children’s Commissioner for England recently claimed that 80,000 to 100,000 children weren’t on any school roll.
The Children's Commissioner misspoke when she made this claim. There is no current data to support this.
The gap between productivity in London and the UK’s 2nd, 3rd and 4th cities is greater than in any other major economy in the world.
There is a significant ‘productivity gap’ between London and other cities in the UK; and it does seem to be relatively large compared to the largest European economies. We haven’t seen an analysis wide-ranging enough to claim that it’s greater than all other major economies.
312 Conservative MPs voted against forcing rented homes to be made fit for human habitation. No Labour, Liberal Democrat or SNP MPs voted against it.
Currently, there aren’t any specific rules in effect requiring private landlords in England to provide properties that are ‘fit for human habitation’.
This is roughly correct—it was 309 Conservative MPs rather than 312. There are other regulations which compel landlords to deal with serious health and safety hazards, which weren’t voted on here.
Under the Conservatives, the state pension has risen by over £1,450.
Theresa May said under the Conservatives the basic state pension increased by over £1,450. That’s correct in cash terms but once you account for inflation it’s around £550 more.
In cash terms yes, the state pension has increased by £1,470 since 2010/11. But after accounting for inflation the increase is around £550.
The EU acknowledges that Brexit will leave a “sizeable gap” in its budget, but has plans to manage it.
Ireland’s national debt is worth €215 billion
Londoners are set to get six times more funding for transport infrastructure per head than the North East and North West regions, and eight times that on offer in Yorkshire & the Humber.
There aren't figures that show exactly how much more transport investment is planned for London than the rest of the UK.
These estimates are correct, using rough information from a government list of planned infrastructure projects. That information isn’t complete, and the comparison ignores funding which isn’t allocated to specific regions. If general funding was included, the regional differences are likely to be smaller.
The reports of sexual offense in schools have almost trebled over four years, others say it has more than doubled.
Figures suggest sexual offences in schools have more than doubled over four years, but they are incomplete and don’t show the full picture across the UK.
These are correct but the figures are incomplete, so don’t show the full picture across the UK.
The lab from which the coronavirus originated has a similar symbol as the lab responsible for a mass outbreak in the Resident Evil games.
Authorities have not yet traced the origin of the new coronavirus outbreak.
The source of the new coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan has not yet been identified. The lab is based in Shanghai, not Wuhan and there is no reason to think it has anything to do with the new coronavirus.
New rules mean that men accused of rape must prove that the woman consented to sex.
New advice for prosecutors doesn't in any way change the law on rape.
The advice for police and prosecutors doesn't change the law. The state almost always has to prove lack of consent, and lack of a reasonable belief that there was.
According to the Lisbon Treaty, in 2022 we become an EU state.
The treaty came into force in 2009, nothing is due to change in 2022. There are no developed plans for the creation of a single EU state.
Spain’s Health Ministry said that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has never been isolated.
The fact that the Spanish Ministry of Health doesn’t have its own viral cultures doesn’t mean it thinks they don’t exist.
This is not true. Spain’s Health Ministry said that it did not have its own samples of the virus, or a register of labs that culture them. The virus has in fact been isolated many times.
The UK's welfare system, public services and lax border controls explain the presence of migrants at Calais trying to cross.
Migrants at Calais are unlikely to be drawn to the UK by benefits, as they're not available to illegal entrants, although asylum seekers get some state support.
Benefits aren't available to illegal immigrants, although asylum seekers get some support and use of public services. It's hard to say how secure the border is.
If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold, not Covid-19.
These are the symptoms for the common cold, but they don’t rule out Covid-19.
For every £1 we put into the EU, we get back almost £10 in lower prices, more jobs and more investment.
To compare the single membership fee that we pay into the EU to an estimate for many elements of the financial benefits that we might get from the EU is comparing apples to a basket of vegetables. The estimate for our financial benefit uses a precise figure for a very uncertain impact.
Until 12 March, the government’s advice said it was ‘very unlikely’ people in care homes will become infected.
Boris Johnson was incorrect to say government guidance had not said it was ‘very unlikely’ that people in care homes would get the new coronavirus
This is correct. Government guidance, withdrawn on 13 March, stated this twice.
The BMA misled junior doctors on whether their pay would be cut.
The government has accused doctors' union the BMA of lying to its members over the pay offered in a new junior doctors' contract. Here's why.
Ministers dispute suggestions that some doctors might get a 30% pay cut, which they blame on a pay calculator that was withdrawn by the BMA. The union hasn’t responded to our request for comment. There’s also a broader disagreement about what the government intended to do about pay at the time.
There was a major increase in the number of “short” positions taken by UK hedge funds when Boris Johnson ran for Conservative leader.
The claim that the number of “short positions” spiked when Boris Johnson became leader of the Conservative party seems to be a misreading of the data.
We cannot identify any such increase; this seems to be an error caused by looking at incomplete data.
Funding from local authorities in England (excluding London) is down 43%, and this excludes money from central government which has not seen such large falls.
This is referring to a report which found that local authority spending in England and Wales on bus services had fallen by 45% from 2010/11 to 2017/18 (without adjusting for inflation). But this ignores a larger chunk of government spending which goes directly to commercial bus companies. That fell by 19% across England (excluding London) between 2009/10 and 2018/19.
More Londoners voted for Brexit than for Sadiq Khan as mayor.
More people in London voted to leave the EU than for Sadiq Khan as mayor.
In Greater London, there were around 200,000 more votes for Brexit than first and counted second votes for Sadiq Khan in the London mayor elections. Counting all votes for him (including those that didn’t contribute to his final win) he got 20,000 more votes.
3.3m people diagnosed with diabetes in the UK in 2013/14, whilst an additional 590,000 are undiagnosed.
GP practice registers show 3.3 million diagnosed diabetes cases in 2013/14, but the methodology and reliability of the undiagnosed figure is more uncertain.
GP practice registers support the 3.3m figure, but the methodology and reliability of the undiagnosed figure is more uncertain.
Vaccinated people are still being hospitalised and getting sick.
The vaccines are not perfect. Some people who have been vaccinated do fall sick and die of Covid-19. But their risk of this is far lower than people who have not been vaccinated.
Theresa May has broken a pledge to make shareholder votes on corporate pay binding.
Executive pay policy is being strengthened, but not to the extent that was previously pledged.
The proposals have been watered-down, so the pledges haven’t been met. The current proposals don’t provide for binding votes but do force more transparency on companies who have shareholder opposition.
Albert Einstein warned in 1949 the time would come when the rich would control the means of communication, making it impossible for ordinary people to make informed decisions.
A Facebook post claiming Einstein warned in 1949 that the rich control communication and damage democracy is true.
Einstein wrote that this had already happened in 1949.
58.8% of graduates are in non-graduate jobs.
CIPD says 58.8% of graduates are in non-graduate roles, but this is based on an old survey.
This figure is based on a survey from 2010. Separate figures from earlier this year paint a different picture.
Adidas are the biggest user of kangaroo leather.
Adidas did not tell us how much kangaroo leather they use. Nike and Puma did not respond to our questions.
Most countries in the EU require that your passport is valid for six months on the date of return from your holiday.
When returning from many European countries, your passport must be less than ten years old and be valid for at least three months.
The EU says that your passport must be valid for three months the day after you return from your holiday.
Five different people’s Covid-19 swab tests are being sent off in one vial, so one positive test will contaminate the other four, giving five positives.
Sample pooling is a method being trialled to save time and resources when Covid-19 prevalence is low.
There are currently some trials of pooling samples, meaning a few samples are tested together to save resources. If all come out negative, they don’t need to be re-tested, but if any are positive, individual samples are tested again.
The post claims that the Covid-19 death rate is much lower than the estimated 0.5%-1% and makes baseless claims that a vaccine would kill more people than the virus.
Incorrect. It is estimated that Covid-19 has a fatality rate of around 0.5%-1% globally, though could be slightly higher in countries with older populations.
The UK is spending more on foreign aid than the Home Office.
It's been reported that the government will soon spend more on overseas aid than the Home Office. This is probably right, but hard to verify at this point.
This is likely to be the case within a few years, although exact comparisons are tricky. Last year the Home Office spent more than was devoted to overseas aid, but aid spending is due to increase a lot.
A picture shows an animal that threw itself into the water to escape the Amazon fires being rescued by a Brazilian soldier.
The picture was probably taken in 2016 and shows a soldier swimming with one of the army’s jaguar mascots, called Jiquitaia.
The picture was taken in 2016 and is of a jaguar which is one of the Brazilian army’s mascots. The image most likely shows the jaguar playing in the water with a soldier.
Future governments are required to run a budget surplus when the economy is doing well.
Rules like the "budget surplus law" can always be repealed by a future government, and broken without any particular legal consequences in any event.
These kinds of rules can always be repealed by a future government, and they can be broken without any particular legal consequences.
A video shows a theme park ride where riders are lifted to a height and swung from cables, before being dropped back down to earth.
A swing capability and an extending top have been added to the drop ride.
The swing part of the ride is not real, and the ride does not extend to the same height as shown in the video.
The Pirbright has an office in Wuhan China.
We can find no Pirbright office in Wuhan, China.
After nine years of a Conservative government, homelessness is up 170%.
The estimated number of rough sleepers is up 165% in England between 2010 and 2018, under coalition and Conservative governments. But this data is known to undercount rough sleeping so those figures are not definitive. Also many people who aren’t sleeping rough are also defined as homeless. The number of households that were homeless for any reason increased by 41% between 2009/10 and 2017/18 in England.
The latest data from the UKHSA appears to show Covid-19 vaccines do not prevent hospitalisation or death from the disease.
An online article has again misinterpreted data from the UKHSA to claim vaccines don’t prevent Covid-19 hospitalisation and death.
False. No vaccine is 100% effective, but the Covid-19 vaccines are highly effective against hospitalisation and death. The data from the UKHSA cannot be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness.
Three quarters of hospitals in England are unsafe.
This is the sum of hospitals rated inadequate or requiring improvements in safety by the Care Quality Commission. The CQC doesn't define all these as unsafe
David Behan, Chief Executive, Care Quality Commission
This is the sum of hospitals rated inadequate or requiring improvements in safety by the Care Quality Commission. It doesn't define all these as unsafe. The inspected hospitals aren't known to be representative of all hospitals in England.
The 1939 Cancer Act makes researching cancer cures illegal.
The Cancer Act 1939 makes advertising cancer cures or treatments illegal unless it’s to certain groups, mainly those involved in the medical profession.
Incorrect. It makes advertising cancer cures or treatments illegal unless it’s to certain groups, mainly those involved in the medical profession. It doesn’t mention research at all.
Last year, half a million children went for three days’ emergency food supplies.
The figure is about the number of three day emergency food supplies given out to children by the Trussell Trust last year—about 437,000—not the number of children who received them.
These figures refer to the number of three day emergency food supplies given out to children by the Trussell Trust, not the number of children receiving those supplies. 437,000 three day emergency food supplies were given to children between April 2016 and March 2017.
The estimated cost of Brexit is £4.15 per person per day.
This seems to be based on an estimate of how much lower UK GDP could be in 2030, compared to if we remained in the EU. This is a hypothetical model for comparing possible paths: it cannot be used to accurately predict the size of the economy in 2030, or to translate the “cost" of Brexit into a definitive cash sum.
Footage shows Boris Johnson being booed and pelted with plastic balls in Manchester.
The footage is genuine, but it’s from the 2015 Conservative party conference—not this year’s conference.
Vitamin D, Ivermectin, zinc and hydroxychloroquine are safe and effective treatments for Covid-19.
A speech made by a prominent anti-lockdown influencer includes false claims about Ivermectin, vitamin D and hydroxychloroquine.
There is no robust evidence yet that any of these can treat or prevent Covid-19.
1.8 million people had to wait longer than four hours for treatment in A&E departments last year.
Correct, for A&E attendances rather than individual patients.
Ukraine just announced it's the first country to implement the WEF's Great Reset by setting up a Social Credit Application combining Universal Basic Income (UBI), a Digital Identity and a Vaccine Passport all within the Diia app.
An app available to Ukrainians is how those who’ve lost their job because of the war can get a one-off payment, but it doesn’t mean the introduction of a social credit scheme.
Ukrainians can use the Diia app to store digital ID documents, including vaccine passports and apply for a war payment if they’re eligible. But this can’t be described as a social credit application, and has nothing to do with ‘The Great Reset’—a book by the WEF’s founder about how governments respond to a post-pandemic world.
The UK can sign a three-page trade agreement with the EU and then trade tariff-free under GATT 24.
In theory such an agreement could satisfy GATT 24, allowing tariff-free trade on most goods with the EU. It would lead to significant wider barriers to trade, and the EU is unlikely to sign up to it.
There was more ice than ever before in 2015.
A second wave of Covid-19 is being planned and the vaccines will kill people.
A video falsely claims Covid-19 has been planned and its vaccine kills.
Mass immigration has depressed wages, especially on the low skill level.
Studies find that immigration affects low-waged workers the most negatively. They disagree on whether it has been good or bad for wages overall but tend to show that the effect is small and also short-term.
Boris Johnson said in 2007 that Gordon Brown should not have become Prime Minister after Tony Blair with no public vote.
The now Prime Minister said in 2007 that Gordon Brown taking over from Tony Blair was a “scandal”.
Unemployment in the West Midlands Combined Authority has risen by 25% in a year.
Unemployment in the West Midlands has fallen slightly over the past year.
Incorrect. The unemployment rate in the area decreased from 6.7% to 5.9% between 2017/18 and 2018/19.
There has been a 22% drop in ambulances meeting their 15 minute transfer target since 2010.
The decrease is actually greater—28%. In 2010/11 in England 80% of ambulance transfers were done in 15 minutes, in 2015/16 it was 58%.
One million primary school pupils are set to stay home on 1 June despite schools reopening.
Teachers were surveyed between 7 and 17 May on whether they thought families would send their children back to school when they reopened.
This is based on survey results of around 1,000 senior teachers asked in early May what proportion of families would keep their children at home. The results were then applied to the estimated number of students in Early Years, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6.
Funding for schools is down by 8% in real terms.
Correct. The IFS says spending per pupil in England fell by 8% in real terms from 2009/10 to 2017/18, and will be held constant from 2017/18 to 2019/20.
There is no evidence that 5G can harm people.
Approximately 15% of people will pay back their entire student loan.
Correct according to forecasts. Estimates from the Institute for Fiscal Studies in October last year show about 17% of graduates are forecast to fully repay their loans.
A no deal Brexit means the UK will not be part of the planned “United States of Europe”.
As this is not EU policy it’s misleading to say a no deal Brexit would mean the UK would be able to avoid this “plan”.
Illegal immigrants and refugees living in Britain get a weekly hardship allowance of £100.
Incorrect. This allowance does not exist.
Surgical masks offer no protection against Covid-19 and are “no good”.
A viral video claims surgical masks are “no good” as they don’t offer complete protection to the wearer. Evidence shows masks still have benefits.
While surgical masks won’t remove the chance of contracting Covid-19, there is evidence which suggests they reduce the chance of infection, the severity of infection and the spread of the disease.
The UK Government’s Ukraine Family Scheme is the first visa scheme in the world to launch since President Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Many countries taking Ukrainian refugees never required visas in the first place. Others have waived visa schemes entirely.
This appears to be accurate but lacks the context that many other countries taking refugees never required visas for Ukrainians, or have waived visa requirements.
If we vote ‘remain’... The EU will continue to control… trade
Trade policies for EU members are decided at EU level, so the UK can’t negotiate its own trade deals.
Contributions from health workers paying the immigration health surcharge help us raise about £900 million.
The Prime Minister claimed £900 million had been raised by the surcharge, but there was some confusion as to whether he was only referring to contributions from health workers.
£900 million is the total amount raised by the immigration health surcharge – paid by some international UK residents – over four years. It is not the amount paid solely by health workers and carers.
Correct. On 13 March 2020, Apple announced that it had reopened all 42 stores in mainland China after a closure of almost six weeks.
Crime levels on the London Underground are reminiscent of crime in New York at its worst in the 1990s.
Crime levels on the London Underground have risen recently, but are still below New York City’s at its worst in 1990.
Riders of the New York City Subway in 1990—when crime peaked in the 1990s—were considerably more likely to experience a serious crime than riders of the London Underground are to experience any crime at the moment.
Knife crime has soared to a record high.
Knife crime in England and Wales is at an eight-year high. Comparable data before this time is not available.
Correct, for England and Wales, though comparable data only goes back to 2011 and there are some data issues.
Bovine TB blood tests detect bovine TB protein itself, not the immune response.
One in five patients delay going to the dentist because they can’t afford to see one - meaning 100,000 end up in hospital with preventable problems with their teeth.
Labour’s claim is also partially based on data which is a decade old.
It’s not possible to connect all these cases directly to people not being able to afford dental care. The “one in five” figure is also a decade old and we don’t have newer figures.
A video captured the BBC interrupting its programming to alert the UK to a nuclear attack.
The original video was made just for fun.
The original video shown on the screen is not real. It was made “just for fun”.
Migration is linked to 82% of population growth (between 2001 and 2016).
Including children born to immigrants, this seems broadly correct for the period 2001-2016.
“Linked to” here combines an estimate of both net migration and children born to immigrant parents. This is likely to be on the right scale but too precise a figure, as it rests on a number of assumptions and uncertain data sources.
A poll estimated that 73% of under-25 voters voted Remain in the EU referendum. Other polls have reached a similar figure, but it’s impossible to say exactly what the true figure is.
That’s a reasonable estimate for how many 18-24 year old voters voted Remain in the 2016 EU referendum, based on the results of polls and surveys. There are no official figures, so it’s impossible to say exactly what the true figure is.
The Covid-19 test is the vaccine and if you get tested you have been vaccinated.
Despite the fact that some other animal vaccines are administered via the nose, the Covid-19 swab test is not a Covid-19 vaccine.
This is not the case. Vaccines have to go through many rounds of testing before they can be rolled out, and none have got to this stage yet in the UK. You must consent to have a vaccine in the UK.
Almost three-quarters of first time buyers say paying upfront costs like stamp duty will be more of a challenge than paying for a mortgage deposit.
69% of potential first-time homebuyers who responded to an online poll said that raising the money for costs like stamp duty would be ‘difficult’
That’s not quite what the poll said. 72% of potential first-time buyers said that paying for upfront costs like stamp duty and removals would be ‘difficult’. 69% said saving for a mortgage deposit would also be ‘difficult’. 34% said it would be ‘difficult’ to meet the monthly mortgage payments.
It’s paid for by a public trust—but that trust is exempt from income tax and appears to have received at least some taxpayer money in the past.
It isn’t in the conventional sense—Chevening is paid for by a trust. But that trust is exempt from paying income tax and appears to have received at least some public money in the past.
There have been over 8.7 million abortions since 1967.
Since mid-1968, when the Abortion Act was first introduced in Britain, there have been around 8.7 million recorded abortions.
Coronavirus stays on fabric for 9 hours, so washing clothes or being exposed to the sun for two hours meets the purpose of killing it.
We don’t know how long the virus can survive on fabric. There isn’t evidence that it can transmit from fabrics to people, though soiled clothing from Covid-19 patients should be washed normally.
Pfizer has changed the formulation of its Covid-19 vaccine for children aged five to 11 to include an ingredient used to stabilise heart attack patients.
A misleading article says a Covid-19 vaccine designed for children includes a solution used to stabilise heart attack patients.
The FDA recently approved the inclusion of tromethamine in paediatric doses of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine. It was included to extend the vaccine’s shelf life, and is not currently used in the UK. It is used to treat a condition which may result from illness following a heart attack.
The cost of living for young people is made more expensive by government intervention and taxes.
After taxes and cash benefits the net contribution of households where the main earner is under 25 was about 19% of household income in 2016/17—that’s lower than other working age groups.
Under 25s paid about 19% of their income in taxes in 2016/17. Other government interventions may have had indirect effects on the cost of living.
A photo shows a baby who was born with their heart outside their body and they receive money every time the post is shared.
The picture seems to be genuine but is over four years old.
The photo is of a baby born in 2017 and there is no evidence any money is raised by sharing the image.
All of the Covid-19 variants have planned release dates.
A TikTok video falsely claims the variants of Covid-19 were “made up”.
They don’t. These claims come from a document that seems to be fake that has been circulating since July and been debunked numerous times.
Top chief executives earn in 2.5 days what an average worker earns in a year.
In 2018 the average pay for a FTSE 100 CEO was £3.5 million – over 110 times the average full-time salary.
In the right ballpark. In 2018 the average FTSE 100 CEO earned in around three days what a full-time worker does in a year on average.
The government committed over £1 billion to reduce the impact of changes and limit them to 18 months.
Changes to the state pension age mean women born in the 1950s will retire later than they expected.
Correct. The government limited the increase in the state pension age from the new 2011 timetable so that no-one would face an increase of more than 18 months. That reduced the savings it would otherwise have made by £1.1 billion. Overall, changes since 1995 mean some women will retire three to six years later planned.
The starting salary for teachers increased from £21,600 in 2010 to £24,400 in 2020.
This is correct. But after factoring in inflation, this amounts to a 6% pay fall.
No country had a functioning contact-tracing app in June 2020.
Several countries had operational contact-tracing apps that had been downloaded millions of times. In June 2020, it wasn’t clear how effective any of them were in reducing the spread of Covid-19.
The flu jab contains thimerosal, which may have neurological effects, cause developmental deficits and has been known to cause seizures.
No current UK flu jabs contain thimerosal (known as thiomersal in the UK). It was removed from most UK jabs as a precaution, and doesn’t seem to build up in the human body and cause issues.
A screenshot shows a tweet from Jeremy Corbyn saying the London Bridge attacker was “murdered by British Police”.
A fake tweet falsely claims Jeremy Corbyn said the London Bridge attacker was “murdered by British Police”.
The tweet is fake. Mr Corbyn did not say this.
Between 95,000 and 135,000 school pupils did not return to school this term.
Figures supposedly showing that between 95,000 and 135,000 children failed to return to school this term are based on a snapshot of just one day.
This claim is missing context. It is an estimate based on a snapshot of attendance on just one day in September 2021, and does not record persistent absence. The data we have can’t be used to reliably show the number of pupils that haven’t returned to school at all this term.
Taxpayers faced a bill of more than £140 million last year for criminals from other EU countries in British jails.
This is based on the average yearly cost per prisoner in England and Wales, and the number of prisoners from other EU countries in prison in England and Wales at the end of December 2017. The estimate is very rough and spending on prisoners can vary depending on the prison they’re in.
There are 10 times more staff dealing with benefits abuse than with tax evasion by the super-rich.
There are more people working on benefit fraud, but not 10 times more. 3,765 staff currently work at the DWP investigating benefit fraud and error, compared to 700 at HMRC who focus on the wealthiest individuals. Over 26,000 people at HMRC work on all tax enforcement and compliance.
Dose range finding studies were not performed for the Covid-19 vaccines.
False. Dose ranging studies were performed for the vaccines currently in use.
37% of coronavirus deaths in Germany are in care facilities.
False. Masks do work to reduce viral transmission.
Two men were sent to prison for defacing a mosque with a poppy, while two others only received fines for burning poppies and defacing a memorial.
A Facebook post about two men who defaced a mosque with a poppy picture doesn’t say what other offences they admitted.
The two men sent to prison also admitted to a number of other racially motivated offences.
There are 5,240 fewer mental health nurses since 2010.
This seems to be looking at different months in 2010 and 2017, which isn’t the best comparison. Comparing the number of full-time equivalent mental health nurses between January 2010 and January 2018 (the latest figures), the drop is closer to 4,500.
Care workers in France are being rewarded with a £1,500 tax-free lump sum.
Care workers in nursing homes will get a bonus but we don’t yet know how much.
Care workers in nursing homes will get a bonus, but it’s not yet clear how much. Healthcare staff fighting Covid-19 will get €1,500 (£1,300). Other hospital staff will get €500 (£440).
An image shows a new self-contained diesel-powered electric vehicle charging point in Lancashire.
An image of a diesel-powered electric vehicle charging point dates back to at least 2019 and there’s no evidence it shows a charging point in Lancashire as claimed.
There’s no evidence the image is from Lancashire and the county council says none of its charging points are diesel-powered. The image has been circulating since at least 2019.
Some of the foreign aid budget went on China’s film and museum industry last year.
At least £440,000 aid was spent on Chinese film, TV and museum projects in 2016/17. The total foreign aid budget was £14 billion.
Correct, at least £440,000 of Overseas Development Aid was spent on Chinese film, TV and museum projects in 2016/17.
The number of deaths in England and Wales is below average for this time of year.
Dr John Lee claimed on talkRADIO that the number of deaths is below the long-term average, but this isn’t true.
Incorrect. Over the final four weeks of 2020, the number of deaths was 16% above the 27-year average and 20% above the five-year average.
Self-employed mothers take on the burden of childcare and fathers don’t get financial support or bonding time with their child as they aren’t eligible for shared parental leave.
Self-employed mothers can exchange maternity allowance for shared parental leave and pay for their partner, if he is employed—but they have to give up the allowance.
Self-employed mothers can exchange their maternity allowance for shared parental leave and pay for their partner, if he is employed—but they have to give up the maternity allowance. Self-employed fathers aren’t eligible for any time off or pay after having a child.
Sky News said there were 2 million people at the People’s Vote march on Saturday 19 October.
There’s no evidence that Sky News and German TV made such estimates, as has been claimed.
We’ve seen no evidence it said this. It reported the figure as “hundreds of thousands”.
The survival rate of Covid-19 without the vaccine is greater than the effectiveness of the vaccine itself.
The comparison with the reported effectiveness of the Moderna vaccine is misleading, as that’s looking at how many people get infected, not how many die.
A new EU withdrawal bill allows the EU to choose the length of a further Brexit extension and the UK has no say in it.
Parliament has the power to reject an extension date suggested by the EU.
Incorrect. If the EU suggests an extended exit date other than 31 January 2020, the government can ask parliament whether or not it approves of that proposal, and parliament can choose to reject it.
The UK wastes more food than any other country in Europe.
Data on food waste is not up to date. The latest data suggests the UK does not have the highest level of food waste per person.
52% of police officers have been found guilty of sexual misconduct while wearing uniform.
This claim comes from confusion over another statistic, about the proportion of those in one force found to have committed sexual misconduct who kept their jobs.
This is not true. It comes from confusion over a Byline Times report, which claimed that 42 out of 83 (52%) of Metropolitan Police officers kept their jobs after being found to have committed sexual misconduct.
A tornado of rain is pictured over the sea.
A clip of a column of rain descending from the sky and swirling like a tornado was created with CGI and is not real.
The tornado was created with CGI and is not real.
Theresa May once said “curbing the promotion of lesbianism in Merton's schools starts with girls having male role models in their lives.”
There’s no evidence to suggest Theresa May said this about curbing the promotion of lesbianism in schools.
There is no evidence she ever said this.
Italy has become the first country in the world to conduct a post-mortem on a Covid-19 patient.
Incorrect. China performed autopsies on Covid-19 patients before Italy had its first Covid-19 death.
Membership of the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) will mean tariffs are slashed on 99.9% of UK exports.
85.4% of UK exports are already eligible for tariff-free access to the bloc. Joining the CPTPP would increase this to 99.9% of goods.
At the 2019 Labour conference, working class white members were charged more to attend than ethnic minorities.
There is no evidence of these claims happening at the 2019 Labour conference.
There was a planned discount for ethnic minority members for a 2018 regional party conference. These plans were scrapped after the UK’s equalities watchdog intervened.
There were continuous lorry queues at Dover on 22 January 2022, that were longer than the Channel itself, and could be seen from space.
Posts on Facebook claim that the queues of lorries at Dover were longer than the Channel and could be seen from space at one point.
We don’t know how long exactly the queues were on that date. They likely could be seen from satellite images, as most road queues can be. We haven’t seen evidence the queues were longer than the English Channel.
Under the new withdrawal agreement, Northern Ireland is effectively annexed by the EU with border in the Irish sea between NI and the UK.
Some of the claims aren’t quite correct and need some context.
There will be checks on goods crossing from the rest of the UK into Northern Ireland, but Northern Ireland will remain part of the UK’s customs territory. What you deem to be annexing is really a matter of interpretation.
Doubling of teenage depression rates is linked to social media use.
A Telegraph article with a headline about teenage depression doubling due to social media did not get this information from the study it cites.
The study referred to in the article does not show this, and the expert quoted in the article said that there could be a number of factors at play.
Fares across all operators are 20% higher in real terms than they were in January 1995.
Correct. This is for the average price across all regions and ticket types.
Over 80% of vaccinated pregnant women in a US study experienced miscarriage.
False claims that more than 80% experienced miscarriage after a Covid-19 vaccination are based on an error in a journal article that has since been withdrawn.
Science Public Health Policy and the Law
Incorrect. This figure was made in error and is being corrected. The true miscarriage rate in this study was around 13%, which is similar to the normal rate.
Over one million vulnerable people are unable to look after themselves due to reductions in spending on social care.
There were 1.2 million over 65s who experienced difficulty with basic tasks such as eating and washing, according to Age UK.
Analysis by Age UK found that there were 1.2 million over 65s who experienced difficulty with basic tasks such as eating and washing.
MPs can claim expenses for official travel. For example, MPs with constituencies outside London can claim for travel between their constituency and Westminster.
According to the OECD, the United Kingdom has the slowest growth in the developed world.
The UK’s economy is growing more slowly than most countries analysed by the OECD in a recent report, but isn’t the slowest. The OECD’s analysis also doesn’t include all developed countries.
The UK has one of the slowest real GDP growth rates, but not the slowest, of a number of countries analysed by the OECD, but these don’t include all developed countries.
Half of British businesses are struggling to recruit the skilled labour they need.
52% of businesses surveyed by Lloyd’s Bank in June were struggling to recruit skilled labour.
52% of businesses surveyed by Lloyds Bank in June were struggling to recruit skilled labour, although we don't know the reasons why. We haven't been able to check the methods behind the survey directly.
There has been a rise in deaths from heart disease.
The death rate in the UK from heart disease is falling, but at a much slower rate than in previous years.
Incorrect. The number of under 75s in the UK dying from heart disease increased slightly between 2016 and 2017. But the total number of deaths from heart disease decreased.
The BBC and British media are not reporting on strikes in France.
Pension strikes in France have been widely reported. It’s not the case that the British media is ignoring the story.
It was reported that new antibody tests were 100% accurate, but evaluation of the tests by Public Health England shows this is not the case.
This is not correct. Although Public Health England found the Roche test had 100% specificity, it did not have 100% sensitivity.
61% of acute hospitals are in deficit at the moment.
Around 83% of English acute hospital trusts are in deficit so far this year. Social care spending has also fallen by £1.3 billion since 2010.
This was the proportion of acute hospital trusts in in NHS England in deficit by the end of 2016/17. So far in 2017/18 the figure is 83%.
Your name, as registered at birth, is a fictional legal entity which you can choose whether or not to use. Obligations such as attending court are optional if you disregard what is described as the fictional legal entity.
All births in England, Wales and Northern Ireland must be registered within 42 days of the child being born.
These beliefs have previously failed as a defence in UK courts. All births in England, Wales and Northern Ireland must be registered within 42 days of the child being born. In Scotland a birth must be registered within 21 days.
Theresa May has increased subsidies for grouse shooting from £45 million to £84 million a year.
Grouse moorland is eligible for agricultural subsidy, provided it is kept in a fit state for grazing. We don’t know how much subsidy grouse moors receive in total.
The People Vs The Government, DWP and Atos
Moorland in England used for grouse shooting is eligible for agricultural subsidy, though the act of shooting itself isn’t subsidised. Data on the total subsidy paid to grouse moors isn’t published, though the £45 and £84 million figures are likely to be overestimates.
Fifty percent of children who acquire myocarditis caused by Covid-19 vaccines will die within five years of diagnosis.
An article posted on Facebook makes baseless claims that vaccines cause AIDS and will lead to a huge number of deaths in children.
There is no evidence for this. It is based on misquoted data from 26 years ago. The study featured a group of largely middle-aged patients with histories of heart failure. More recent research suggests lower mortality rates.
The “hostile environment” was invented under a Labour Home Secretary.
Michael Gove recently claimed that the concept was conceived under a Labour Home Secretary.
Labour used the term in relation to enforcing immigration rules while in power. The Conservatives significantly expanded the scope of policies associated with the phrase.
A video shows Shamima Begum, who left the UK for Syria in 2015, beheading someone.
The video, from 2015, shows a child, not Shamima Begum, beheading a man in Syria.
The video is not of Ms Begum. The rest of the video shows that it’s a different and much younger person.
Imports from the rest of the world rose to £20.1 billion, their highest since records began in 1997.
£20.1 billion is the highest cash amount of imports from the rest of the world in any given month, but imports were higher than this, when adjusted for inflation, for large parts of the late 2010s.
The British public believe that 7% of the UK population has died from Coronavirus, a number 100 times higher than the recorded-death reality.
By using a mean average, the results overstated what the average Brit thinks the death rate has been.
This uses a mean average which isn’t appropriate in this context. Using the median, the average Brit thought that 1% of the GB population had died of Covid-19.
47% of the population don’t earn enough money to bring in a wife or husband from outside the EU.
Since 2012, £18,600 is the minimum income required to bring a non-EU partner to the UK.
This is an old estimate for the proportion of British national employees who earned less than the £18,600 threshold. More recent estimates have put this at 41%, and it could be lower today. Non-British nationals who are settled in the UK can also bring in a partner if they meet the threshold.
6.5 million migrants have registered with UK GPs in the last 10 years.
There were 6.5 million new GP registrations in England and Wales from 2007 to 2017 where the person’s previous address was abroad. But we can’t be certain about these figures.
According to the ONS, that’s how many new GP registrations there were in England and Wales between 2007 and 2017 where the person’s previous address was abroad. But migrants who moved between homes in the UK may have been double counted and we don’t know how many were only here short-term.
Phase three trials for Covid-19 vaccines haven’t been done.
This is untrue. Analyses of data from phase three trials for all three Covid-19 vaccines (Pfizer/BioNTech, Oxford/AstraZeneca, Moderna) authorised for use in the UK have been published in peer-reviewed studies in medical journals.
A little girl has vanished from a local area and the police need help to identify those responsible.
A fake article about a kidnapped girl appears to be an attempt to access a user’s Facebook account.
The story is false and appears to be an attempt to gain access to your Facebook account.
Under the Geneva Convention refugees should seek refuge in the first safe country they come to.
Incorrect. The UN Refugee Convention does not make this requirement of refugees, and UK case law supports this interpretation. Refugees can legitimately make a claim for asylum in the UK after passing through other “safe” countries.
Covid-19 can be transmitted between humans and pets.
There is a possibility that dogs and cats can test “weakly” positive for Covid-19, but there is no evidence that they can pass it on to humans.
There is one reported case of a pet dog in Hong Kong testing ‘weak positive’ for Covid-19. However, the dog is showing no symptoms and there is some question to whether the positive test is valid. The WHO and NHS says there is no evidence that pets can become infected or pass the virus to people.
Symptoms of Covid-19 include nausea, hair loss, bone marrow damage.
This is incorrect. Symptoms have been reported as including fever, coughing and shortness of breath.
Beer sales at British pubs have risen after the vote to leave the EU.
It's been suggested that the UK's pubs have been doing a roaring trade on the back of the vote to leave the EU. The figures don't support that theory.
This is wrong. The figures available mostly cover the period before the referendum, and show that pub sales actually fell, although overall beer sales rose.
There are 363 murderers in open prisons; 106 murderers have absconded from open prisons in the last 10 years; and there are 179 offenders in open prisons who've absconded before.
This week's Prime Minister's Questions heard many claims about prisoners on the run. We establish the facts.
These figures are correct but not up to date. As many as 122 murderers absconded from open prisons in the decade up to 2013/2014.
Already there is a mountain of evidence, direct and circumstantial, of widespread ballot fraud.
There is no evidence of widespread ballot fraud.
The UK has created more jobs than the rest of the EU put together.
It's true that Britain has seen a larger net increase in employment than the rest of the EU combined, and that Yorkshire has seen a larger net increase in employment than France. But a bit more context is needed to interpret this properly.
The UK has seen a larger rise in employment than the rest of the EU combined. Some countries have seen employment fall since 2010, so the comparison isn't that useful.
Footage of a plane being fired at shows the war in Ukraine.
The video is actually from the tactical shooter game Arma 3.
This is false. The footage is from a video game called Arma 3.
Ireland’s test and trace system cost £775,000.
Incorrect. This was the cost of developing its contact tracing app. The whole test and trace programme is estimated to cost €700 million per year in Ireland.
We will retake our seats on international bodies. […] We will have more international influence and use it to encourage more friendly international cooperation.
We've factchecked Vote Leave's claim about the UK's international influence if we left the EU.
The UK already sits on many international bodies individually, as do representatives of the EU as a whole.
The National Audit Office said that schools face real term cuts of 8% by 2019/20.
The National Audit Office has said that although overall spending on schools will increase between 2014/15 and 2019/20, increasing pupil numbers and staff costs mean they will need to spend 8% less pe
The National Audit Office said that although overall spending on schools will increase between 2014/15 and 2019/20, increasing pupil numbers and staff costs mean they will need to spend 8% less per pupil.
Only a handful of MPs turned up to debate a pay rise for health and social care workers.
This was a Petitions Committee debate. These do not lead to any direct decision or vote on changes to law.
Correct. This debate related to a petition, and these debates are generally sparsely attended.
The European Union makes two thirds of UK law.
Roughly two thirds of all the laws that apply in the UK are linked to the EU, but as laws vary a lot in importance this isn't very useful to know.
That's about right if you count EU regulations as part of 'UK law'. The EU influence on UK-only laws is about 13%. But this counting exercise doesn't tell us very much.
If you’ve taken an mRNA Covid-19 vaccine, your genetic make-up has been changed, and this is confirmed in a video of World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab.
The mRNA in certain vaccines, like Pfizer and Moderna, has no way of altering your DNA.
The government has protected the schools budget.
That was correct in the recent past, and in the near future in terms of the overall amount. But per-pupil funding once inflation is taken into account is set to fall over the next few years.
The EU parliament has 705 members, all elected.
We have not heard of one police officer dying from Covid-19 across the world.
This post incorrectly claims that there are no reports of police officers dying from Covid-19.
Incorrect. Many Covid-19 deaths among police officers have been reported worldwide, including at least one such death in the UK.
Recent UK and international data suggests that children are in fact as likely as adults to become infected and carry the virus.
Research literature doesn’t suggest that children are as likely as adults to become infected and carry the virus.
We haven’t seen reliable and consistent evidence that backs up this claim. Reviews of the literature to date suggest that children are less likely to become infected and carry the virus. More evidence from antibody studies is needed to quantify the exact transmission risk from children.
Over 2.5 million people now officially live in energy poverty.
This is an underestimate: almost 3.7 million households may be living in some form of fuel poverty across the UK, although the data is not directly comparable due to differences in how it is measured.
An ITV News article has the headline “Shaking the duvet too vigorously while making your bed can increase your chances of a heart attack, scientists warn”.
A screenshot circulating on social media looks like an ITV News article, but isn’t genuine.
The screenshot showing this has been doctored and no such article exists.
There is a specific criminal offence of assaulting a police, immigration, or prison officer, but not of assaulting a doctor, nurse, or paramedic.
There’s no separate criminal offence of assaulting an NHS worker, but they do have additional legal protections.
Correct, but the maximum sentence for assaulting a police officer is no higher than that for assaulting anyone else, and sentencing rules say that assaults on public sector workers of all kinds should be treated especially seriously.
Images show a young Ukrainian girl telling a Russian soldier to go home.
They come from a video that says it shows children in Palestine, which was published online in 2012.
False. The images come from a video that was published in 2012. It says it shows Palestinian children.
Diluted cordial poured onto a lateral flow test appears to test positive, meaning the tests are a farce.
The tests are not designed to have acidic substances, like drinks, poured on them. This will break the test.
Hate preacher Abu Hamza was a drug dealer who called for death to the queen and faced no action for his crimes.
Anjem Choudary, Abu Qatada and Abu Hamza all received judicial action for their crimes.
We could not find evidence of Hamza selling drugs or calling for the death of the queen specifically. He was sentenced to life in prison by the US authorities and has served time in the UK for soliciting murder and inciting racial hatred.
This image shows an elephant carrying a sick lion cub to water.
The image was a digitally edited April Fools' Joke made by a South African game reserve.
The image was an April Fools' Joke digitally edited by a South African game reserve.
New figures claiming that four million people have diabetes seem right, although the estimate for the half a million who are undiagnosed is hard to verify.
This seems about right. We can only be sure about the three and a half million people diagnosed with diabetes. Another half a million may be undiagnosed, according to estimates.
Raising public sector pay in line with inflation will cost £4 billion.
Matching public sector pay to inflation over the next few years is estimated to cost £4 billion a year.
It's correct that it will cost £4 billion a year according to one estimate, although it's uncertain how accurate this will turn out to be.
Pancreatitis, Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2), anaphylaxis, arthritis, encephalitis, aseptic meningitis, pneumonia, deafness, retinitis and epididymitis are also listed as side effects.
Incorrect. All of these (except aseptic meningitis) are listed under “adverse reactions” of the MMR II vaccine used in the US. That’s not the same as a side effect. Adverse reactions can refer to anything developed by chance after someone is vaccinated, but these aren’t necessarily caused by the vaccine. The two UK MMR vaccines list some of these as adverse reactions.
Higher education in this country is blindingly middle class.
4% of UK students who began their first UK university degree in 2016/17 were white, but white students are the least likely ethnic group to enter higher education.
Across several different measures, the more disadvantaged your background, the less likely you are to go into higher education. The gap has been narrowing over time, but is bigger at the most selective universities.
Over 90% of the women who are pregnant and have Covid-19 vaccines in early pregnancy experience a miscarriage in the first 12 weeks.
A video from Dr Dolores Cahill and Dr Anne McCloskey includes a lot of false claims.
This isn’t true. The MHRA says there is no sign to suggest the vaccines are causing miscarriages, and the NHS says there is no need to avoid getting pregnant after having the vaccines.
This image of two boats surrounding a third shows Australian warships turning away a ship of people trying to enter the country illegally.
While Australia does turn back boats, this image does not show that action.
This is incorrect. The image is from a territorial row between China and Japan in 2012. However, Australia does have a policy of turning back boats.
This is broadly correct for someone working full time.
Matt Hancock used the phrase “protective ring” to describe the government’s winter Covid-19 plan, and claims to the contrary misinterpret his comments.
Records show the Health Secretary used the phrase about care homes in May 2020 to describe actions taken in the first wave of the pandemic.
Mr Hancock appears to have first used this phrase about care homes on 15 May 2020 to describe action taken during the first wave of the pandemic.
The number of children "up for adoption" has fallen.
The Department for Education puts the decrease down to the misinterpretation of two high profile court judgments.
Correct. The number of children granted a placement order - one of the first steps before a child can be adopted - has fallen by 24% in the last year in England. The number of completed adoptions has continued to rise, but at a slower rate.
The increase in the number number of talking therapies staff is closer to 3,000 than 2,700.
Staff numbers working in the talking therapies programme for people with anxiety and depression have risen by at least 2,850 since 2012.
One estimate says at least 2,850 more people worked in IAPT services (a flagship talking therapy programme for those with anxiety and depression) from August 2012 to April 2015. This does not include other NHS talking therapies.
British youngsters are the “most illiterate” in the developed world.
A report has said that the proportion of 16 to 19 year olds in England who have “low literacy” is the highest of 23 OECD countries.
The report this is based on didn’t say that British youngsters were the most “illiterate” as such. It said the proportion of 16-19 year olds in England who have “low literacy” is the highest of 23 countries and regions in the OECD. Having low literacy skills involved having difficulty with simple written information, such as not being able to fully understand instructions on a bottle of aspirin.
Less than 4% of board members in FTSE 150 companies are from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. (That’s the 150 largest companies, by value, on the London Stock Exchange.)
People from black and minority ethnic backgrounds are underrepresented on FTSE 150 company boards.
About 5% of directors on FTSE 150 boards which are headquartered or mainly operational in the UK, western Europe, the US, or Australia are from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. Only 1.6% are British too, compared to about 13% of the UK population as a whole.
“Our boys” didn’t change the handball and VAR rules in association football.
Ian Holloway was wrong to suggest that non-British organisations had changed the VAR and handball rules against the will of British football organisations.
Changes to the VAR rules were made unanimously by IFAB. British football associations had the ability to veto this change, but all four voted in favour. Details of the vote to change the handball rule have not yet been released, but at least two of the four British FAs would have had to vote in favour of it.
Illegal immigrants and refugees living in Britain get a weekly spouse allowance of £225.
Incorrect. There is no weekly spouse allowance for refugees. People staying in the UK illegally are not entitled to claim any benefits.
A person survived being struck twice in quick succession by lightning.
Inconsistencies in the video and lack of news coverage cast doubt on this event.
The theoretical survival chances, lack of news coverage and elements of the video which seem edited make it very unlikely that this happened.
A senior judge has said that Muslim women should be allowed to wear a veil in court.
'Muslim women should be allowed to wear the veil in court, top judge suggests'—he suggests otherwise.
Lord Neuberger said that judges should understand why people wear a veil. He didn't call for a specific change to the law which allows veils to be restricted.
Analysis by the Children’s Society has found that more than 1 million children living in poverty would miss out on a free school meal because of the cliff edge.
The criteria for receiving free school meals is changing
This comes from a rough estimate of how many children could receive free school meals under the new income threshold, compared to the number of children living in poverty. It is not a calculation of how many will miss out compared to the old benefit-linked system.
Last winter, tens of thousands of sick patients waited on A&E trolleys.
There were 196,000 waits of over four hours in accident and emergencies in England in the winter months of 2016/17. These figures are the closest we have to a count of people on trolleys, which isn’t specifically recorded.
There is a crisis in teacher recruitment and retention.
It's correct that there are more teachers in English schools now than in 2010 - but there are also more pupils.
The number of new trainees is falling, but more full time equivalent teachers are joining state schools than leaving them.
Covid-19 has never been isolated in a laboratory. It has never been proven to exist.
Covid-19 is the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This virus has been isolated in laboratories many times.
The most serious violent and sexual offenders receive automatic early release from prison halfway through their sentence.
The government pledged to mandate serious criminals spending two thirds of their sentence in prison. Judges already have discretion to impose this.
This is the default sentence (excluding those given life) though judges in England and Wales are already allowed to keep offenders in prison for two thirds of their sentence if they are considered dangerous.
The vaccine makes you detectable via Bluetooth.
False. There’s nothing in the vaccine that does this, or makes it possible.
Science fiction writer HG Wells invented the atom bomb.
HG Wells’s writings did, in part, inspire the development of the atom bomb, but he did not invent the atom bomb.
GDP will be between £39 billion and £158 billion less per year as a result of on several different options for post-Brexit trade deals with the EU.
There is no clear measurement of how many people are in hospital at one time, however, figures that give an indication are significantly lower than this.
Weight loss pills advertised on Facebook have been endorsed by judges on the US version of Dragons’ Den, Shark Tank.
Weight loss pills have never featured on the US show Shark Tank, where entrepreneurs pitch their products to investors.
False. Shark Tank has never featured weight loss pills.
Halting changes to the Personal Independence Payment will create a £4.4 billion “black hole” in the budget.
Changes to the Personal Independence Payment have been withdrawn. They had been forecast to save £4.4 billion over five years.
£4.4 billion isn’t a helpful way to describe the budget’s “black hole” caused by the withdrawal of the changes—it adds up all the spending over the five years to 2020/21. Dropping the policy will make public finances £1.3 billion worse off than they would have been by the end of the Parliament. And the government was already relying on £3.5 billion other savings that have yet to be identified.
By the end of the last Labour government we had the highest NHS satisfaction levels since it was founded.
Satisfaction with the NHS in Great Britain was 70% in 2010, just after the Coalition government took office, the highest since records began in 1983.
The Australian government has admitted Covid-19 vaccines are a poison.
Under Western Australian legislation, vaccines (alongside medicines such as paracetamol) are classed as poisons. This is just a legal definition, and does not mean the government is saying they are dangerous or planning to poison people.
5G technology is dangerous for human health.
A woman claimed on Facebook to have inside information suggesting that the photo of a boy sleeping on a hospital floor was staged.
The hospital has confirmed that the incident happened.
There is no evidence the photo was staged. The hospital has confirmed that the incident happened. The woman has told the media she does not have information about the incident.
By 2020 the government will have borrowed more than all Labour governments put together.
Borrowing peaked at about 10% of the size of the economy (GDP) in 2009/10, and it’s now down to about 3.5%. That’s a relatively large deficit, but not off the scale historically.
That’s true if you add up borrowing under Labour governments since 1945, whether or not you adjust for inflation. But it isn’t a fair comparison because the UK economy and the government have both got bigger.
The removal of cremation form 5 means that people are being cremated against their family’s wishes.
It is true that cremation form 5 has been suspended, but this does not mean people are being cremated against their wishes or the wishes of their family. In fact, the Coronavirus Act specifically prevents this.
One offender carried out 93 crimes last year before going to jail for the first time.
One person sent to prison for the first time had 93 offences recorded, however there is no data on the time period these offences were committed over. One conviction may include several offences.
Official data shows that incidents of bovine TB increased dramatically in areas of Gloucestershire despite the badger cull.
Research suggests that badger culling has a limited impact on the spread of bovine TB. We have seen some small reductions in bovine TB cases in recent years.
The number of new TB incidents increased by 130% in one area of Gloucestershire from 2017 to 2018. However, you cannot judge the effectiveness of badger culling based on a one-year change in one part of the country. Wider evidence suggests the effect of culling on the spread of bovine TB is limited.
The UK poverty rate is 23.2%, higher than countries including Spain, Greece Italy and Portugal.
UK poverty by one measure is around the EU average. A viral tweet misleadingly suggests the UK poverty rate is much higher by using a different measure for the UK.
Incorrect. This compares two different measures of poverty. By one measure the UK poverty rate is estimated to be 23.2%, but on the comparable measure in this case it is around 17%, roughly the EU average.
Charles Bronson has taken Wayne Couzens hostage in his cell and has been beating him up.
Charles Bronson is in HMP Woodhill and Wayne Couzens is likely still at Belmarsh.
This is not true. Charles Bronson is at HMP Woodhill and Wayne Couzens is likely still in Belmarsh.
Six million workers are paid below the living wage.
Six million jobs were paid at below the living wage in 2014, according to ONS figures. But that doesn't mean six million individual workers were.
Last year six million jobs were paid below the living wage, but some people have more than one job. We've got hold of some new figures suggesting at least 5.4 million people were paid less than the living wage.
In three months we fell from being the fastest growing economy in the G7 to the slowest growing in the group.
The UK was the fastest growing economy in the G7 in the last three months of 2016. It dropped to one of the three slowest in the first three months of this year, sitting alongside Italy and the USA at the bottom of the pile.
A chicken welfare association has paused hen adoptions because people were buying them for food.
The adoption centre said they were worried by a number of phone calls.
It is true the British Hen Welfare trust has paused adoptions until the Covid-19 situation improves, but it is not clear why. The RSPCA said it hasn’t received any reports of these animals being killed for food.
Iain Duncan Smith MP gets free accommodation.
MPs can claim expenses for rent on a second residence or hotel if their constituency is outside London, and if they don’t live in free accommodation, such as Downing Street. Iain Duncan Smith is a London MP, so can’t claim accommodation expenses.
Tulsa County's first positive Covid-19 case has recovered. This individual has had two negative tests, which is the indicator of recovery.
Correct, this patient has recovered according to official Tulsa County sources. Two negative tests is one of three official indicators of recovery among people with Covid-19 (who showed symptoms).
There is a lot more damage being done to UK citizens as a result of Covid-19 vaccinations than in any other vaccination programme in history.
Christopher Chope presented a number of misleading or unevidenced statements about Covid-19 vaccines to the House of Commons.
There is no reliable, publicly-available data to substantiate this claim. No source was provided to evidence his statement.
Deaths rose by 650 above average during the UK heatwave
High temperatures have been linked to increased mortality rates in the past, but we don’t know the full picture for this summer yet.
Correct, for 23 June to 13 July this year in England and Wales. The increase has been higher in previous years, and we won’t have a full picture until better statistics come out later in the year. High temperatures have been linked to more deaths in the past.
The government is building 40 new hospitals over the next decade.
Six hospitals in England have been given the money to upgrade their buildings within the next five years. Up to 38 hospitals are being given money to develop plans for their hospitals between 2025 and 2030, but not to actually begin any building work.
This is an experimental injection, it hasn’t had phase three trials completed.
Analyses of data from phase three trials for all three Covid-19 vaccines authorised for use in the UK have been published in peer-reviewed studies in medical journals.
Funding for schools has increased significantly in recent years.
Spending on schools was around £50 billion in 2018/19. Spending per-pupil in England has fallen 8% since 2009/10.
People with a terminal illness are being declared fit to work and told to apply for jobs.
There have been cases of people with terminal illnesses being declared fit to work reported by the media and charities. We don’t know how widespread this is.
Examples of this happening have been reported by the media and charities, but it’s not supposed to. We don’t know how widespread this is.
Immigrants are 60% less likely to claim benefits than a British-born person.
That’s based on a decade-old report and only looked at immigrants from a few EU countries. Immigrants are probably less likely to be receiving out of work benefits than UK nationals, based on the best available evidence.
This video shows accurate footage of Keir Starmer’s reaction to being questioned on Brexit.
The interview was edited before being posted by the Conservative party to make Mr Starmer look confused.
Incorrect. The footage has been edited to make it seem as though Mr Starmer does not respond.
There were 32 deaths from suicide in Ireland in August.
It’s too soon to know this figure as only a coroner can officially rule a death as a suicide, but this figure is realistic looking at past data.
As Mayor, Sadiq Khan produced a report to say that the Fire Services did not need further funding.
Correct. In 2016 a report commissioned by Mayor Khan recommended that the London Fire Brigade did not need its budget increased.
The UK oil and gas industry supports an estimated 375,000 jobs.
The industry body Oil & Gas UK's latest estimate is 375,000 jobs. These figures are uncertain and don't just include direct employment in the industry.
375,000 is the latest estimate of the total employment supported by the industry according to the industry itself.
Since the Conservatives came to power, the number of bus trips taken by young people has declined by 40%.
Correct for 21 to 29 year-olds. According to the National Travel Survey, the number of bus journeys taken by people in England between 21 and 29 dropped by 40% between 2010 and 2016.
Council homes are being sold off without being replaced.
Only one in six council houses sold under Right to Buy are being replaced. Overall there are fewer homes available for “social rent” or equivalent in the social housing sector. There are increasing numbers available for higher “affordable rents”.
Sadiq Khan posed with a Sharia Zone leaflet.
An image of West Midlands police posing with synthetic cannabinoids has been edited.
The image has been edited. The original image didn’t feature Mr Khan or leaflets on Sharia zones.
Almost all European countries have a trade surplus with us, apart from five.
Over the last ten years all EU countries other than three sold more to us than they bought—Ireland, Luxembourg, and Malta.
A decision of the European Court of Human Rights means that the police have to warn criminals about serious threats to their life.
Recent reports on the role of the European Court of Human Rights in police ‘threat to life’ warnings are only partially correct.
‘Threat to life warnings’ are a police response to the human rights court’s requirement that the state sometimes has to be proactive in protecting people from threats. That decision dates from 1998, and wasn’t about criminals in particular.
Wages are lower than they were ten years ago, but on some measures have risen since last year.
Average weekly earnings before bonus payments were higher in March 2018 (and in January-March) than they were in the same periods in 2017. After bonus payments they were either lower or had not changed.
Recent changes to the law mean killers could avoid whole life terms by pleading guilty.
Suggested new guidelines for judges, published today, wouldn’t significantly change the rules on when someone stays in prison for life.
The new sentencing guidelines don’t change the law. If a whole life order is made in court, a guilty plea will not reduce the sentence. However, a judge will factor a guilty plea into the decision about whether to make a whole life order in the first place.
Sub-standard care and staffing at weekends is responsible for thousands of deaths.
It's claimed that better NHS care at weekends—the "7-day NHS"—could save 3,000 lives, or 6,000, or somewhere in between. In reality, nobody really knows.
There's no way to be sure. Research suggests thousands of "excess deaths" for patients admitted at weekends, but not that this is due to poor care.
Some polls show no deal as the most preferred Brexit option. Others show remaining. It all depends which options respondents are surveyed about and how the question is asked.
Labour’s plans to nationalise certain industries would cost at least £196billion and savers and pensioners could suffer further losses of £9 billion.
Analysis says nationalisation will cost £196 billion or shareholders will suffer losses. Some outlets said both would occur.
The analysis this is based on says either one or the other of these things happens, not both. Regardless its method is disputed and doesn’t factor in the potential economic benefits of nationalisation.
The government’s own research says that Boris Johnson’s Brexit proposals would lead to a 6.4% drop in real wages.
The government estimated a free trade agreement Brexit could lead to real wages being 6.4% lower after 15 years than if the UK remained in the EU. That’s not the same as saying this form of Brexit will lead to a drop in real wages compared to now.
Self-employed people will only pay more tax after this budget if they have taxable profits over £32,000, once you take every change to tax and welfare policies into account.
We’ve checked claims on who wins and loses from the Spring Budget 2017.
We’re not sure what analysis this is based on and we’ve asked for the source.
Flamingo egg yolks are usually yellow to red in colour.
Like chicken eggs, flamingo eggs have yellow to red egg yolks.
A Labour poster featuring Diane Abbott said “Labour will put black and ethnic minority families first to preserve a diverse nation”.
The mocked up poster was superimposed onto a photo taken in 2005 of a billboard in Hackney.
The poster is not real, and never appeared anywhere on a billboard. The photo is a mock-up.
It was this Conservative government that tackled the debt.
The government’s debt has risen from £1 trillion (or 64% of GDP) in May 2010 to £1.8 trillion (or 81% of GDP) now.
The EU has exported 41.6 million vaccines so far, 10 million of which were to the UK.
This is how many vaccines manufacturers in EU member states have exported.
It temporarily disappeared from one part of the search results last year, but was restored on 14 June 2020.
Churchill’s photograph did temporarily disappear from one part of Google’s search results last year. It was restored on 14 June 2020.
That change to mesh sizes has reduced fishermen’s income by 40%.
That is based on an unsourced quote reported by a Cornish news website. We don’t know how or if income has been affected yet as the regulation only changed on 1 July 2019.
You might not be able to have children if you have the Covid-19 vaccine.
There is no evidence that any Covid-19 vaccines can impact fertility. The NHS is currently advising that it is preferable for pregnant people in the UK to have the Pfizer/BioTech or Moderna vaccines as they have been given in pregnancy worldwide to more people without issue.
Public opinion is swinging in favour of having a second referendum on Brexit.
There is some evidence that public opinion has swung towards a referendum on the final Brexit deal, but the evidence is not consistent.
There is some polling evidence of a shift in public opinion towards another referendum, but different polls have given inconsistent results, and results can vary a lot depending on what question is asked.
Ken Clarke, former Conservative Chancellor said he won’t vote for the Conservatives.
He did say there was a possibility that he might not, but that he didn’t expect this to be the case.
Incorrect. Mr Clarke said he would not vote for the Conservatives if it campaigned as “some crazy right-wing nationalist organisation” but also said that “I don’t think that will be where we end up”.
A video of an air raid shows Russia invading Ukraine.
The video first appeared on TikTok in 2021.
The video is a CGI animation of WW2 and was put online long before the 2022 invasion.
23 people in Norway died after getting the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
Norwegian officials suspect common side effects like nausea may have contributed to the deaths in very frail patients.
True as of 14 January, but we don’t know for certain that getting the vaccine was what caused these people’s deaths. There’s a possibility that side effects of these vaccines, such as nausea and fever, contributed to the deaths of these 23 elderly patients. As of 17 January there had been 33 such deaths.
The number of vegans in the UK has risen from half a million in 2016 to 3.5 million today.
There are almost certainly not 3.5 million vegans in the UK. Half a million is a better estimate, although that’s from 2016 research.
3.5 million is almost certainly too high. The phrasing of the survey it’s based on means it could include people who were previously vegan but no longer are. The best available research we know of (from 2016) estimated 540,000 adults in Britain are vegan.
A video shows a rolling ferry during Storm Eunice in February 2022.
It shows a ferry in Scotland during Storm Dennis in February 2020.
Incorrect. It shows a ferry during Storm Dennis in February 2020.
A post suggests that if masks work, it doesn't matter if other people aren't wearing them as long as you are.
An important action of facemasks is their role in source control—reducing the number of particles released into the air by an infectious wearer.
Masks can sometimes play a role in protecting the wearer, but another important action of mask wearing is to reduce the release of infected particles from an infected wearer. This ‘source control’ effect can help to protect others.
Nigel Farage has earned £541.10 per day from TV and radio since 2016.
Incorrect. This is a based on the outside income Mr Farage declared as an MEP between 2014 and 2018. Half of that period was before Brexit. His estimated outside earnings over that period equate to an average of £359.90-£479.50 per day, and we don’t know if all that was from broadcast deals.
Reports to the Yellow Card scheme suggest that the Covid vaccine from AstraZeneca is not safe.
Some deaths and serious events have been recorded after vaccination, but none because of it so far
This is not true. The Yellow Card scheme has collected reports of adverse health events following vaccination, but none of the deaths or serious events so far appear to have been caused by it.
Around a dozen other European countries have banned zero hours contracts.
Zero hours contracts, or similar forms of employment, are often unknown, banned or heavily regulated in other European countries.
Not all have an explicit ban, but it’s correct that most EU countries outlaw these contracts, heavily restrict them, or don’t see them widely used. The UK is one of around half a dozen European countries where zero hours contracts are both legal and fairly common.
The state is removing more children from their families than at any time since the 1980s.
There are more children being “looked after” by their local authorities, which can mean they have been placed for adoption, fostered, and in some cases, placed with their parents.
This is correct as far as available figures show. More children are becoming ‘looked after’ by a local authority than at any time since the mid-1980s, and increasing numbers are being adopted or placed with a special guardian. These figures don’t perfectly reflect the numbers of children who are away from their original parents.
There are 600 more A&E consultants, 1,500 more A&E doctors, and 2,000 more paramedics.
There are roughly 600 more A&E consultants, 1,500 more A&E doctors, and 2,000 more paramedics since 2010.
These are roughly correct, comparing since 2010.
Theresa May knew about the Windrush issue in 2014 - there was a report in 2014 which reported on these stories.
In 2014, a report included stories from members of the Windrush generation facing difficulties proving their immigration status. We don’t know whether Theresa May saw it, but the Home Office did.
The report included stories of individuals of the Windrush generation facing difficulties proving their immigration status. We don’t know whether Theresa May saw the report first-hand, though the Home Office was made aware of the findings.
In the last five years, we have seen literally hundreds of convicted rapists who have come out of prison commit another sexual offence.
Each year in England and Wales, roughly 40-60 people are convicted of rape who had previous rape convictions.
Correct. It shows that each year, in England and Wales, roughly 40-60 people are convicted of rape who had previous rape convictions. From 2013 to 2017, there were 263 such convictions.
We just had two years (2016-2018) of record-breaking Global Cooling.
Incorrect. “Global cooling” describes a long term period during which the earth’s average temperature is cooling. Although the average global temperature was slightly lower in 2017 and 2018 than in 2016, these drops were not record breaking. Global temperatures tend to fluctuate from one year to the next and NASA data shows that overall global warming is occurring: the planet is getting hotter and hotter over time, and at a faster and faster pace.
Four Oxford schoolgirls have started a petition to make lessons on climate change compulsory in schools.
The students’ petition recognises that climate change is already part of the science and geography curriculum in England. But they say that they have “barely learned about” it at school and want climate change to be a “core part” of the national curriculum.
Tony and Cherie Blair are directors at a company involved in the PFI that funded Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, which continues to receive rent from the NHS for use of the hospital.
The hospital was built using a PFI. The Blairs are not and have never been directors of Octagon Healthcare, the company responsible for the PFI.
For every £1 spent on legal aid, the state saves £6.
The claim that the state saves £6 for every £1 spent on legal aid should be treated with caution. It's evolved out of several different pieces of research.
This claim has evolved down a chain of several different pieces of research and should be treated with caution. Academics say that we need more research about the savings that spending on legal aid can bring.
Two UK police forces used the same photo to illustrate two different crimes.
Cumbria Road Police said that the picture is from an incident they dealt with.
This is incorrect. The tweet from Cumbria Road Police is real, the image of a tweet from Police Scotland is fake.
There were 3,700 drug-related deaths in England and Wales last year.
Roughly correct, there were 3,756 registered in 2017. Around half of these will have happened in 2016 because of the time it takes to hold an inquest and then register the death.
UKHSA data shows that people who receive a booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine are more likely to be infected with the disease.
Ahmad Malik has misused various different sources to falsely suggest that the vaccines are dangerous.
This is not true. The UKHSA data does not show this. Indeed the UKHSA warns against misinterpreting its data in this way.
A picture showing people unwell on the streets of India shows the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The paper used a picture of scenes from a gas leak in 2020, not Covid-19 in 2021.
This image was used in an article written by the New York Post about the Covid-19 pandemic. But it actually comes from a video taken in 2020 after a gas leak in Visakhapatnam, India.
Heathrow Airport is used by businessmen and women.
An estimated 24% of flyers from Heathrow are travelling for business, more than most other major airports. Only City airport has a higher proportion of business travellers in London (50%).
This number is not a patent for the new Wuhan virus, Covid-19. It’s a patent for a weakened version of a virus in the same family as Covid-19, a family which includes the common cold and SARS.
Fibres from face masks and test swabs are evidence that nanoparticles are being inserted into us.
This is not true. Nanoparticles are not part of masks and swabs, and are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
Excess deaths over the past year have not been statistically higher than the average for previous years. The ONS shows that, in terms of deaths per 100,000 of population, since 1993 ten previous years have had higher rates than 2020.
Excess deaths in 2020 were higher than the average over previous years. Eight years since 1993 have had higher death rates.
You can check whether honey has been diluted with sugar syrup by washing it in water to reveal a honeycomb pattern and the honey’s genetic memory.
Incorrect, honey does not have a genetic memory.
A flyer recommending the Hollie Guard app is genuine.
The personal security app allows users to alert contacts if they feel unsafe.
The Hollie Guard app is a genuine personal security app and has been recommended by police forces.
An annotated map shows how many churches have been destroyed in France over the last four years.
These aren’t just churches that were destroyed, the map also includes incidents of vandalism, violence and theft in churches, and attacks on priests.
The map is not just of “destroyed” churches; it shows many types of incident including vandalism, fires, violence, and theft that has occurred in or around churches, as well as attacks on priests, and other incidents the maps’ creators deem as religiously motivated.
260,000 over-75s have refused to pay their licence fee.
A Facebook post claims £50 million has been lost in licence fee payments this year.
This is the number of over-75s who are yet to make payment arrangements for their TV licence after the government ended its subsidy. There is no evidence that all 260,000 are refusing to pay.
The symptoms of Covid-19 are that it first infects the throat, so you’ll have a sore throat lasting 3 or 4 days. The virus then blends into nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs causing pneumonia. This takes about 5 or 6 days. With pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty breathing
This is a roughly accurate description of the most common symptoms, although not everyone with Covid-19 gets pneumonia, and the symptoms may not come in this exact order or at these times.
Remaining in the EU gives us the power to stop the creation of a European army.
Correct—each EU member has a veto on common defence policies.
This was claimed by a fake BBC Breaking News Twitter account.
Incorrect. This was claimed by a Twitter account masquerading as the BBC.
A survey found almost three quarters of voters believe social care should be a high priority for the government.
A survey reported by the Mail found social care to be the most pressing issue for the new government, but only among a selective list.
Correct, though the survey was of UK adults, not just voters. The list of issues respondents were asked about was also far from comprehensive. Other polling shows Brexit and the NHS are the most important issues to the public overall.
Jeremy Corbyn said he’d abolish student debt before the election.
Jeremy Corbyn didn’t commit to abolishing student debt before the last election, although he did say he would “deal with” the high debts of graduates and was looking at ways to do so.
Mr Corbyn said he would “deal with it” in some way, and was looking at ways to reduce it, or abolish it, but also said there wasn’t a firm policy on it. Some media outlets and other MPs went further.
The UK is best at cycling, rowing and track and field.
We looked into whether this was Team GB's best Olympics ever, how much funding it gets, and which sports UK athletes have won the most medals in.
Over a quarter of all UK Olympic medals have been for athletics. The other sports UK athletes have won most medals in are rowing, sailing, cycling and swimming.
The average farmer made £28,300 in subsidies last year and £2,100 from agriculture. The average cereal farmer lost £9,500 on agriculture.
On average most farms in the UK make more from subsidies than they do from agriculture, but this varies depending on the size and type of the farm.
The basic point is correct. Last year farmers did make more from subsidies on average than from agriculture. Whether or not the exact figures are correct depends on whether you look at subsidies or all payments that farmers receive from government schemes.
Three million people work in local counties and boroughs.
Two million people were recorded as working in local government across the UK in September 2019.
You cannot give blood after you’ve been vaccinated.
You can, but you have to wait seven days. If you have side effects after vaccination you have to wait 28 days from after they pass.
The BBC lost £50 million through non-payment of the licence fee this year.
There's no official data yet on how much the BBC lost in 2020/21. The £50 million figure is likely to be based on an estimate from Julian Knight MP, but this is an estimate of the extra amount lost due to the BBC being above its target for licence fee evasion, not the overall amount lost due to non-payment.
You cannot catch Covid-19 from touching surfaces.
Incorrect. Respiratory droplets can land on surfaces and the virus in these droplets have been shown to remain viable for up to 72 hours on some surfaces.
160 MPs are for leave and 486 are for remain.
That’s pretty close to survey results of all the MPs just before the 2016 referendum. There has since been a general election and some MPs could have changed their view.
Walking your pet dog may raise your risk of catching coronavirus by 78 per cent.
The research claims dog walkers have a higher risk of catching Covid-19 but it has a number of methodological flaws.
This is based on research which has many flaws. In particular, suggestions this is down to dogs acting as a Covid-19 vector are based on limited evidence.
Many people are buying online and not going to the shops.
The proportion of retail sales made online is steadily increasing, but at around 17%, doesn’t account for the majority of purchases.
An image shows a battalion of the Cameron Highlanders in 1914, prior to being despatched to the front line, the next image is the same battalion upon their return in 1918 after the armistice.
A photo of a WW1 battalion after returning from war in 1918 is not real. But it is based on real events.
The 1914 image is real, but the 1918 image appears to have been constructed to reflect the casualties suffered by the battalion in the first months of the war.
It’s not possible to analyse the financial situation of every MP. However, it is correct that UK MPs have not taken any pay cuts during the pandemic.
The EU parliament elections this year will be proportional.
The system is designed to deliver a broadly proportional result, but in practice the outcome won’t be perfectly proportional.
A post suggests video footage showing a camera crew filming people in hazmat suits is evidence the pandemic is staged by the media.
Footage of a camera crew following three people in hazmat suits has been misinterpreted.
The footage was almost certainly taken of a film crew recording part of an advert where the Hungarian Prime Minister thanks key workers.
Claims that children can’t get Covid-19 are incorrect.
Children can get Covid-19 but there have been relatively few cases in children and in general, their symptoms tend to be milder.
Jacob Rothschild owns a patent to coronavirus.
There is no patent for the Wuhan coronavirus. Claims that Jacob Rothschild owns the patent are untrue.
Incorrect. There is no patent to the new coronavirus discovered recently in Wuhan.
Recently introduced laws mean if you are told to self-isolate and do not, you will get a £1,000 pound fine administered by Serco.
It is true a law was recently introduced to fine those breaking isolation orders from Test and Trace. However, Serco does not administer these fines.
Union Jack flags have replaced EU flags outside parliament ahead of the opening of parliament by the Queen.
EU flags are never officially flown in Westminster.
This is incorrect. There were no flags in parliament square prior to the Union Jack ones being put up for the ceremony.
Since 2010, we’ve created more jobs than France, Spain, Ireland, The Netherlands, Austria, Sweden and Norway combined.
Over the past eight years the UK’s employment growth has ranked 12th out of 28 EU countries. Our employment rate was fourth highest in the EU in the first three months of 2018.
That was correct for the first quarter of 2018, but based on the available data for the second quarter it’s not likely to be correct anymore. It refers to overall changes in employment, including people who move into and out of work.
People in Leicester are being forcibly tested for Covid-19.
Leicester City Council said that no one is being forced by them to take Covid-19 tests.
This is incorrect. Both Leicester City Council and Leicestershire Police told Full Fact that no such methods are being used in the city. Testing across the UK is optional.
One third of private rented homes don't meet basic health and safety standards.
While 30% of private rented homes aren't rated 'decent' according to a government standard, the proportion failing it because of health and safety is 17%.
Close to a third of private rented properties don't meet the official Decent Homes Standard, but health and safety is only one possible reason a home can fail that. A sixth of private rental homes failed minimum health and safety standards in 2013.
Around 87% of trains in Britain arrived at their destination within five or 10 minutes of their schedule, in the year to May 2018. Around 62% arrived within a minute of their schedule.
If the new coronavirus is exposed to a temperature of 26-27ºC it will be killed, as it does not live in hot regions. Also drinking hot water and sun exposure will do the trick and staying away from ice cream and cold food is advised.
There have been cases of Covid-19 in areas with warmer temperatures than this, and we don’t know what temperatures the virus can withstand. There’s no evidence that hot water and the sun will cure it or that staying away from cold food can prevent it.
The BBC made donations to the Conservative party.
Appearance fees from the BBC appear in some Conservative politicians declarations, as they do for MPs from other parties. These are not donations.
These weren’t donations, they were appearance fees paid to individual MPs. Many media outlets pay fees to politicians from across the political spectrum.
The Football Association gets £30 million a year in public money.
We’ve looked into claims about how much public money goes to the FA.
Correct according to the Football Association itself.
The NHS Pay Review Body reports that 80% of of the midwives who left the profession would’ve stayed if they were valued more highly.
According to the Royal College of Midwives 80% of the midwives who were intending to leave midwifery in the next two years said that increased pay would encourage them to stay in midwifery.
Not quite. The NHS Pay Review Body says that according to the Royal College of Midwives 80% of the midwives who were intending to leave midwifery in the next two years said that increased pay would encourage them to stay in midwifery. But the same survey found the biggest concern was staffing levels.
The Covid-19 vaccines offer very little protection against the disease.
Some people are unlikely to get ill with Covid anyway, but that doesn’t mean that the vaccines offer less protection.
This is not true. The claim is based on a misinterpretation of a Lancet comment article, which compared different ways of measuring effectiveness. It did not refute the headline figures that have already been reported.
Higher tuition fees haven’t put students from disadvantaged backgrounds off going to university.
Higher tuition fees don’t seem to have affected the longer-term trend of more disadvantaged students going to university.
Higher tuition fees do not seem to have affected the longer term trend of increasing proportions of young disadvantaged students (and young students of all backgrounds) going to university. Mature student numbers have fluctuated. We don’t know if the numbers going to university would be higher if tuition fees hadn’t been increased.
The Conservatives have delivered a million homes in the last five years in England.
Claims about the increasing number of homes under the Conservatives are correct, but the majority of homes are built by the private sector, not the state.
A million homes have been added to the housing supply over the past five years.
The cost of the German Test and Trace system has been £48 million.
Funding for the German system is complicated, but available figures suggest that far more than the £48 million has been spent.
Only 138,000 immigrants spoke no English at the last census, less than 0.3% of population.
It’s true that older immigrants make up a disproportionate number of those who have poor English, although they’re still in a small minority.
Not quite correct. 138,000 people in the UK spoke no English at the last census, about 0.3% of the population. 118,000 of those people were born outside the UK, 20,000 inside.
The last Labour government made 1.4 million homes habitable.
The last Labour government launched a programme to make “non-decent” homes fit for living in. An estimated 1.4 million social sector homes underwent work.
Between the introduction of Labour’s “Decent Homes Programme” in 2000 and 2009, an estimated 1.4 million “non-decent” social sector homes in England received work to make them habitable.
More people from deprived backgrounds are going to university than ever before.
We looked at the proportion of private school pupils going to Oxford and getting top jobs and the proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds going to university.
Correct. In 2016 the proportion of 18 year-olds living in the most disadvantaged areas going to university was the highest on record for England, Scotland and Wales. It’s the second highest level it has ever been in Northern Ireland.
Poland had no recorded terror attacks between 2012 and 2015 according to data from the Global Terrorism Database. There have been at least three terror attacks since.
A majority are in favour of Thailand’s policy of admitting vaccinated travellers.
An article in The Independent claims majority support for Thailand’s decision to admit vaccinated travellers. But Twitter polls mean nothing.
This is based on results from a self-selected Twitter poll, so it is meaningless.
The deficit has come down under the Conservatives.
The deficit has been coming down, but not as rapidly as the Coalition and the Conservatives had said in 2010 and 2015.
This is correct, the deficit has fallen from 10% of GDP to 2.3% between 2010 and 2017, but the government is far off its original plans for a reaching a surplus.
Matt Hancock said there would be 25000 tests a day by mid-April. We’re currently at under 15,000 as of yesterday, so we’re missing that target. He said 100,000 by the end of April.
Government committed to 25,000 tests a day by mid-April, later relaxed to “mid to late April”. Latest figures show 18,665 tests a day.
England’s test and trace service reaches contacts at a cost of approximately £10,000 each.
The claim made by Independent SAGE is based on the £12 billion cost of the test and trace programme, which is mostly testing not tracing.
This is a misleading calculation based on the total cost of the test and trace service, which is mainly spent on testing and not tracing.
There are now 1.9 million more children in good or outstanding schools compared with 2010.
This doesn’t factor in the fact that pupil numbers have risen and inspection practices have changed.
This doesn’t acknowledge that there were 560,000 more pupils in state-funded schools in England in 2017 compared to 2010, and changes to inspection practices. 580,000 pupils are in schools that haven’t been inspected since 2010.
A survey from Samaritans said one in four people had suicidal thoughts during lockdown.
A survey done between March and May 2020 found that 1 in 10 people had suicidal thoughts.
Less than 10% of engineers in the UK are female.
There are an estimated 48,000 women working in engineering professions compared to 400,000 men.
Official statistics show that in the second quarter of 2017 11% of engineers were women.
Despite naming themselves the national socialist party, the Nazi’s policies - including the persecution of left-wing critics - did not align with socialist ideals.
While their name did include the word “socialist”, their policies and treatment of left-wing opponents show they were not socialists in any meaningful sense.
An NHS doctor who spoke out about the lack of PPE on the BBC has been suspended.
Concern that the story was incorrect led to prominent posts on social media being deleted.
A doctor has told us his contract working at an NHS hospital was terminated because of comments he made to the BBC about a lack of PPE.
Overseas aid spending will increase by £1 billion over two years because of new EU rules.
The EU rules in question are about how to measure the UK's wealth, which is the basis of the government's aid target. The EU doesn't set that target - we do.
Young people could save up to £1,000 a year in bus fares under Labour’s plans for free bus travel for the under 25s.
Assuming they took 520 bus journeys a year (a national travel survey says that figure is 101 for under 21s), and the bus fare is around £2, they could save £1,000.
A Public Health England document shows that ethylene oxide, the sterilising solution used on PCR tests, may be harmful to the unborn child.
A PHE document on ethylene oxide exposure is not talking about the limited exposure you get from using sterilised swabs, which are extremely unlikely to have any of the chemical still on them.
Prolonged exposure to ethylene oxide can be unsafe and may be harmful to the unborn child. But when it is used to sterilise test swabs it does not pose this risk even if you are tested often.
96.3% of the Italy’s Covid-19 deaths were actually caused by other diseases.
Official data shows that most people who died from Covid-19 had other conditions, not that these conditions were the real cause of their death.
This is incorrect. Official data shows that 96.3% of Covid-19 patients had other health conditions when they died.
That was the salary of a competent firefighter in 2015. It’s now £32,244 outside of London.
A photograph shows a young Angela Merkel posing with Adolf Hitler.
A Facebook post doesn’t show a picture of a young Angela Merkel and Adolf Hitler. Hitler died nine years before Merkel was born.
False. This picture shows Hitler with an anonymous girl. Mrs Merkel was born nine years after Hitler died.
Nearly half the population thinks the reason people lost their jobs in the pandemic was due to their own underperformance.
A survey found 47% of the population think job performance is an important factor in recent job losses, not necessarily the main reason.
The Treasury forecast that dropping out of the European single market will cost the economy £66 billion and reduce GDP by 7.5%.
Don’t confuse the estimated cost of Brexit to GDP with the cost to tax revenues.
This is confusing estimates for GDP with estimates for tax revenue. The Treasury does expect GDP to be 7.5% lower than it otherwise would have been after 15 years, if the UK relies on World Trade Organisation rules outside of the single market. But the £66 billion figure is for the resulting loss to public finances, not the economy, and it's the upper limit - £52 billion is the Treasury's best estimate.
There are 1.8 million more children in good or outstanding schools.
Schools’ Ofsted performance is improving and more pupils are in schools rated good or outstanding by its inspectors.
Correct. 1.8 million more pupils were in good or outstanding schools in 2016 than in 2010. This progress is partly due to Ofsted's changing inspection practice.
Boris Johnson wrote a letter asking the public for their thoughts on mandatory RFID microchips.
Boris Johnson did not write a letter asking the public for their thoughts on mandatory RFID microchips.
This letter is fake. No such policy is being proposed.
A British soldier was attacked by a Muslim gang that hates the armed forces.
A member of the British armed forces was hit by a car in West Yorkshire. There’s no evidence that he was attacked for being in the armed forces.
A member of the armed forces was hit by a car outside a nightclub in West Yorkshire, sustaining serious injuries. The police and the judge sentencing his attacker have both said there is no evidence that the attack was politically motivated. The judge said Mr Adams-Mitchell was not the intended victim of the attack.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said that processed meat is as big a cancer threat as cigarettes.
Did an international health watchdog find that processed meat is as likely to cause cancer as smoking? No.
Inaccurate. The WHO has said processed meat is proven to cause cancer, just as cigarettes are. But the cancer risk attached to eating processed meat is far smaller than smoking.
The CDC is removing its request for emergency use authorisation of PCR tests. This is evidence that PCR tests don’t work, are fraudulent and cannot distinguish between influenza and Covid-19.
The CDC has announced it will no longer request authorisation for one type of PCR test. It is recommending others instead because they are more efficient.
The CDC has given laboratories advance warning that they will stop requesting approval for one type of PCR test. This is because there are now other, more efficient PCR tests available. Some of these can simultaneously test for influenza viruses as well as SARS-CoV-2 to avoid having to take multiple samples or run multiple tests on the same sample if it is negative for SARS-CoV-2.
The 2016 EU referendum was the largest democratic exercise in the UK’s history.
Not quite. More people voted in the 1992 general election. It also had a higher turnout rate, as did other elections in the 20th century.
There are 10,000 more training places available for nurses.
We don’t know yet how changes to NHS bursaries will affect the number of places universities offer.
Incorrect. This figure refers to the government’s ambition for additional places by 2020 on nursing, midwifery and allied health courses.
Knife murders fell 14% due to increased stop and search operations in London.
Homicides involving a knife are down, and stop and searches in London for offensive weapons are up but there’s no evidence to support the idea that one is causing the other.
Environmental factors impact how far droplets from a sneeze can travel, but it is likely to be several metres.
The NHS pays £4 billion annually in rent to private investors because of deals under Labour.
Incorrect. In 2017/18 hospital and acute sector PFIs in England that started under Labour cost £1.4 billion.
Rail fares have risen by 25% since 2010.
The TUC says rail fares have risen by 25% since 2010. This is correct but refers to regulated fares only rather than all fares, as widely quoted.
This is correct, but refers to all rail fares rather than just regulated fares, as has been widely quoted.
You can make a substance that removes body hair by mixing one tablespoon of 2% iodine and one cup of baby oil.
Iodine and baby oil isn’t an alternative to shaving.
The number of social rented homes fell by 420,000 under Labour.
The number of affordable homes fell by 420,000 under Labour.
This refers to all homes rented from councils and housing associations. We don’t know what exactly happened to homes for the cheapest “social rent” specifically under Labour, but more of them were built on average between 1997 and 2010 than since 2010.
Sixty percent of people in the UK asylum system entered the country illegally.
The Home Office said 60% of asylum seekers entered the country illegally but this is based on unpublished statistics
It’s unclear whether this statistic is reliable because the Home Office has not published any details behind how it was calculated.
CCGs increased their spending on mental health by 6.3% last year while their overall funding increased by 3.7%.
This is the increase in spending by CCGs on mental health compared to their overall core services budget allocation. The figures don’t account for inflation. Factoring that in, mental health spending went up by 3.9% over that time and overall CCG budgets went up by 1.5%.
Leave campaigners before the referendum weren’t consistent on whether Brexit meant leaving the customs union.
Campaigners weren’t explicit about what Brexit would mean for the customs union before the referendum.
The customs union was rarely mentioned by Leave campaigners before the referendum. There were generally calls for the UK to have an independent trade policy, though messages about specific trading arrangements weren’t always consistent.
Government spending on flood defences until 2021 has heavily favoured London and the South East.
Figures from the Environment Agency that could have helped shed light seem to have been taken offline.
There isn’t enough data available to prove this, and previous estimates don’t clearly show this divide. Figures from the Environment Agency that could have helped shed light seem to have been taken offline.
The oil and gas industry supports more than 400,000 jobs.
Over 400,000 was an older estimate. These figures are uncertain, and don't just include people directly employed by the industry.
A video filmed on a street shows a massive explosion in Ukraine.
Video apparently taken from a street in Beirut of the 2020 explosion is being shared as though it was filmed in Ukraine.
The video was taken in 2020, and appears to show the port explosion in Beirut.
Zoflora causes infertility in young boys and men.
If used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, the product is safe.
There’s no direct evidence this is the case.
Bill Gates is a partner in the lab in Wuhan, China.
A viral Facebook post claims he is a partner in a Wuhan lab, which he isn’t.
There is no evidence the new coronavirus comes from a laboratory or is man-made. Bill Gates is not a partner in any of these labs.
A picture shows Remain supporters burning a Union Flag.
The photo was edited to include a burning flag.
The image has been edited to add the burning flag.
Someone else faked the picture, then claimed that NASA did it.
This is a fake image, but NASA did not make it.
It was this Conservative government that tackled the deficit.
The deficit (how much the government borrows each year) fell from £158 billion (or 10% of GDP) in 2009/10 to £41 billion (2% of GDP) in 2018/19.
BBC News reported that 350 people attended the anti-lockdown protest in London on 29 May 2021.
A widely shared screenshot suggesting otherwise has itself been faked.
BBC News did not say this. The claim is based on a screenshot from a year earlier with an altered caption.
80% of children are not being tested for coronavirus.
Data is based on tests reported and so excludes the many tests taken but not reported.
This is based on data which only includes tests reported, not the number of tests done. It’s impossible to say what proportion of children in England are being tested for Covid-19.
MPs’ salaries have increased from £66,000 in 2010 to £77,000 in 2018.
These figures don’t take account of inflation since 2010. In 2018 prices MPs’ pay has remained stable compared with 2010 at around £77,400.
An official NHS poster warns that Covid-19 vaccines cause Bell’s palsy.
A fake poster warning about vaccines “causing” Bell’s palsy has been shared online.
This is not a genuine NHS or UK government poster, and the MHRA says there’s currently no evidence of higher rates of Bell’s palsy following vaccination.
The government is spending £14 billion on primary and secondary education between now and 2022/23.
By 2022/23 the government aims to spend £4.3 billion more on education, once you account for inflation, than in 2019/20.
The increase is £4.3 billion by 2022/23 once you account for inflation. The £14 billion figure is unhelpful as it is the figure you get if you add up all the extra money spent on education in each year to 2022/23 compared to 2019/20 and doesn’t account for inflation.
A 0.05% financial transactions tax would raise £250 billion which could pay for a 15% pay rise for NHS workers until 2049.
A campaign group estimated £250 billion could be raised globally by a financial transaction tax, with £20 billion being raised in the UK.
The £250 billion such a tax is estimated to raise is a global tax, and so would not be spent on the NHS alone.
You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.
There’s no evidence that this works as a preventative or a cure for the virus.
They [migrants] also affect public services.
Impacts of immigration are likely to vary by local area. Immigrants may add to demand for and pressure on public services, but also contribute to financing and providing them.
The Health Select Committee has said that the government's extra funding for health is actually £4.5 billion rather than £10 billion.
This is correct for funding over this parliament. Overall health spending will increase by £4.5 billion, after you take inflation into account. The £10 billion includes an extra year of spending and only refers to the NHS England budget rather than wider health spending.
Men in Uxbridge and South Ruislip live 14 years longer than they do in Stockton North.
Men in one very deprived ward of Stockton have an average life expectancy of 64. Most men in Stockton North have a much longer life expectancy, however. The figure for Uxbridge and South Ruislip is for the London borough of Hillingdon as a whole, which is 80.
Tanks were seen in Paris’ Champs Élysées, around the same time as protests against France’s introduction of vaccine or immunity certification.
Social media posts have misleadingly suggested tanks were deployed in Paris in response to protests.
The photo was almost certainly taken on Bastille Day, a national French holiday, on which military vehicles parade the Champs Élysées. The same vehicles were seen in news reports and on social media.
Under Labour the tax gap was falling by £1.5bn/year. Under the Conservatives it has been increasing by £1bn/year.
The numbers are accurate but very uncertain. The proportion of tax due but unpaid is lower under Labour but no longer falling.
It’s wrong to suggest Spain is in worse shape than the UK as the UK has a much higher Covid-19 death toll.
Looking at the number of cases is more relevant and Spain had many more new cases than the UK at the end of July.
CPR involves doing chest compressions only.
A widely shared infographic suggests that CPR for children involves chest compressions only. But NHS advice is to also give rescue breaths (mouth to mouth).
UK guidance says CPR should involve, alongside chest compressions, rescue breaths on children in all cases (unless there is a good reason why this is not possible), and on adults if the person administering them is completely confident and the person who is unwell doesn’t have Covid-19.
Jo Swinson said she couldn’t forgive David Cameron for calling the 2016 EU referendum.
She also said in 2019 that she couldn’t forgive David Cameron for calling a referendum.
Correct, she said this at the Liberal Democrats’ 2019 party conference.
A photo of two emaciated men strongly implies they were British soldiers.
A photo of two emaciated men are American civilian prisoners of war, not British soldiers.
This is a famous photograph of two American civilians after the liberation of a Japanese POW camp in 1945.
The survival rate for Covid-19 is 98.54% in the UK.
We don’t have a good idea of how many people have had Covid-19 yet, so don’t know how many have survived it.
We don’t know what the survival rate is yet, as we don’t know how many people have had the disease. This figure comes from a claim about the US which is a slight over-estimate based on available figures.
Receiving a Covid-19 vaccine makes you more likely to be admitted to hospital with the disease.
This is not true. Receiving a Covid-19 vaccine makes you much less likely to be admitted to hospital with the disease.
A newly qualified teacher’s salary was £21,500 in 2010 and £22,000 in 2018.
These figures don’t take account of inflation since 2010. In 2018 prices, a new teacher’s salary in a local authority-run school in England and Wales (outside of London) was £25,400 in 2010, and is now £23,000.
A quarter of Covid-19 deaths were not caused by the virus.
Media reports of the new figures do not make it clear that this figure only relates to one week of data.
This is true for deaths registered in England and Wales for the week ending 2 April 2021, not the entire pandemic.
New Zealand’s MPs took a 20% pay cut during this pandemic
A Facebook post claims New Zealand MPs took a 20% pay cut during the pandemic while UK MPs gave themselves a pay rise.
New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern gave herself, government ministers and public service chief executives a 20% pay cut. Other MPs had a 10% pay cut.
A company called Omicron Nanotechnology Limited exists and has something to do with the pandemic.
The now-dissolved company was named after a Greek letter, like the new Covid-19 variant has been.
There was a (now-dissolved) company registered on Companies House with this name. It has nothing to do with the Covid-19 variant of the same name, except they are both named after the Greek letter omicron.
People with disabilities are set to see a real-terms cut of £1.2 billion a year across this parliament.
Spending on all disability, incapacity, industrial injuries and carer’s benefits, including related housing benefit, is expected to fall by £1.2 billion by the end of this parliament. Spending won’t fall by this amount every year—it will fall by £295 million each year on average.
This is incorrect. Drinking water does not prevent an infection and there have been cases where the virus has survived in the stomach and affected people’s intestines.
53 million tests means that they have 53 millions people’s DNA on file.
This is wrong. No record of the patient’s DNA is taken in the testing process and the majority of test samples are destroyed.
We have had fourteen times the number of people in hospital with Covid than we saw this time last year.
NHS England CEO Amanda Pritchard claimed the number of people with Covid-19 in hospitals is 14x higher than last year. She was comparing data from August 2021 and August 2020.
False. The number of people with Covid in hospital in November 2020 was above, not below, the level in November 2021.
Increasing numbers of vaccines are associated with increasing rates of autism.
Dozens of scientific studies have shown there is no link between autism or autism spectrum disorders and vaccines.
Recovering the costs of health tourism won’t plug the funding gap the NHS is facing.
Estimates show health tourism costs up to £300 million a year, but savings from this alone won't fill the gap in funding for the NHS.
Correct. These costs are relatively small compared to the amounts the NHS will need to find to maintain current services.
The percentage of the UK population who have received a booster vaccine is double that of any other European country.
The Prime Minister made conflicting claims about the UK booster rollout versus Europe at PMQs and during a televised coronavirus update.
Incorrect. As of 12-14 December, 35% of the UK population had received a booster, below Iceland (54%) and only just ahead of Austria and Hungary.
British OAPs who have worked for 45 years get a total yearly benefit of £6,000.
A British pensioner with 45 years’ worth of national insurance contributions is likely to get at least £500 a year more than this, and be eligible for more benefits on top.
There are 11,500 more doctors now than there were in 2010.
In September 2016 there were the equivalent of 9,000 more doctors working full-time for NHS hospitals and community health services in England than there were in September 2010.
This isn’t a fair comparison. The most recent comparable figures show the increase was less than that: about 9,000 more FTE doctors between September 2010 and 2016.
A photograph has been taken of a giant rat.
This widely shared photograph uses a technique called forced perspective.
The photograph appears to be an illusion, which makes the rat look larger using forced perspective.
The withdrawal agreement does not create any form of separation for Northern Ireland.
If the EU and UK don’t agree to extend the transition period or strike a new trade deal the backstop kicks in, under which Northern Ireland is treated differently to the rest of the UK.
Not strictly correct. The withdrawal agreement includes a backstop arrangement. If that kicks in Northern Ireland will operate under different rules to the rest of the UK.
The vaccination programme has overwhelmed the NHS.
A website article misleadingly claims the Covid-19 vaccine drive has “overwhelmed” the NHS.
We have seen no evidence to suggest this is the case. Both the Royal College of GPs and NHS Providers say the concerns in the article have not been reflected by their members, although they are dealing with significant operational pressures for other reasons.
There are 32,000 jobs at risk in the steel industry.
This is the number of people working in the whole steel industry in the UK in 2016. We don’t know with any certainty what the future holds for the steel industry.
Only 11% of people who need to self-isolate are being contacted.
Sir Keir Starmer and other Labour MPs claim that people are breaking the rules because they cannot afford to follow them, but this is not what the evidence says
Incorrect. We do not have a precise figure for this. Official statistics show that the proportion of known contacts being reached is much higher.
The party with the most MPs gets to form the government.
The party with the most MPs usually forms a government, but things get complicated when there's no overall majority.
In a hung Parliament, there's no rule that the largest party forms a government. It might get the first chance to try, but the incumbent can also claim this.
Under the new withdrawal agreement, only the backstop changed so all the other flaws of May's deal continue.
The biggest change was to the Irish backstop, but the non-binding political declaration changed too.
The NHS spends £100 million on translators for 128 languages in five years.
A claim saying NHS translators cost £100 million over five years is based on incomplete data from almost ten years ago.
A 2012 report based on FOIs found that NHS trusts (that responded) spent £23.3m on translation services in 2010/11. We don’t have recent or complete figures for how much the NHS has spent on translators because no one collects that information. We can’t find a reliable source for the 128 languages figure.
60 ambulance stations have closed since 2010.
We don’t know how many ambulance stations have closed since 2010 as national figures on this aren’t regularly published.
Vaccination causes the immune system to start attacking the body when the person comes into contact with coronaviruses.
There is no evidence that any of the Covid-19 vaccines cause autoimmune diseases.
Over 92% of Southern services are running to time against the temporary weekday revised timetable.
92% of all Southern trains that had run by 8.30 am on Monday arrived at their destination within 5 minutes of their scheduled arrival time. By 4.30 pm, the same figure had fallen to 82%.
Most of the world trades with the EU on WTO terms.
Most WTO members outside the EU have either a free trade agreement or preferential access to EU markets.
Incorrect. Of 135 non-EU full members of the World Trade Organisation, 58 currently trade with the EU under negotiated trade terms, and another 47 have preferential access to EU markets.
The government is putting 20,000 more police on the streets.
The government has committed to do this. If this happens it will take the number of police in England and Wales to almost, but not quite the same level as it was at in 2010.
Labour’s freedom of movement plan could increase net migration to 840,000 a year.
It’s not credible to put a specific number of the effect of a policy when no one knows exactly what the policy is.
Labour hasn’t published its manifesto yet, and the methods used to reach this number are not credible.
The UK is performing 240,000 Covid-19 tests a day.
This is close to both the highest figure for daily tests performed and current theoretical lab capacity. The number actually performed on most days in the latest data is slightly lower.
You must queue in single file and one meter apart.
No advice on queuing has been issued, but the government recommends people stay two metres apart.
The index of economic need, underpinning prioritisation for the “Levelling Up Fund” has been transparently published by MHCLG.
A list of priority areas due to receive early funding from the new “Levelling Up Fund” has been published. The rationale for why certain areas are prioritised has not.
A list of local authority areas grouped prioritised according to economic need has been published. But no real detail as to how that was calculated has been published
John Major prorogued parliament in 1997 to delay a report into Conservative MPs taking bribes.
Major’s prorogation in 1997 delayed a report into Conservative MPs taking bribes, whether or not that was his intention.
Major’s prorogation in 1997 had the effect of delaying a report into Conservative MPs taking bribes until after the 1997 election, whether or not that was his intention.
Germany has accepted 800,00 Syrian refugees.
Germany will end up accepting hundreds of thousands of refugees, both from Syria and the wider world, but 800,000 Syrians accepted to date is way off.
MPs would need to approve British military action in Syria.
The legal position on the use of military force in Syria is clear: the government doesn't need sign-off from MPs. The political aspect is more complex.
Legally, the government doesn't need the permission of Parliament to use military force. But there is a convention that it will consult MPs before doing so, where possible, and abide by the outcome of their vote.
You are 2.5 times more likely to apply to university if you are wealthy than if you are disadvantaged in England. The same figure is 3.5 times in Scotland.
There are two ways to look at this. Whether the claim is correct depends on whether you look at university entry rates or university application rates.
Incorrect if you are looking at university application rates but pretty much correct for 2016 university entry rates (both focused on 18 year olds). Some care needs to be taken over these comparisons because of differences between higher education data in Scotland and England.
Pressing the cancel button twice before using a cash machine prevents fraudsters from stealing your PIN.
It is a common myth that pressing cancel before using a cash machine will prevent fraud
This is not true. LINK, which operates the UK’s largest cash machine network, calls it an “urban myth”.
The WTO spends £0.15 billion per year on overhead costs.
This is the WTO’s total budget for 2019.
Fee-paying schools ‘save the taxpayer £20 billion’.
The Times claimed independent schools save taxpayers £20 billion per year. The report they referred to put the figure at £3.5 billion per year.
Incorrect. A report estimated that educating privately-schooled children in state schools would cost £3.5 billion per year.
There were five deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid-19 test in the UK.
This is how many people have died a short period after getting vaccinated.
That’s correct for at least one day in early May.
The £350 million a week we pay to the EU budget is the same as the cost of building a new NHS hospital every week or hiring 600,000 nurses.
We send £250 million not £350 million. That could pay for an NHS hospital but at the moment £85 million of it is spent in the UK paying for things like farmers and poorer areas, so we would have to cut that spending first.
Dialling 55 during a 999 call will automatically dispatch the police to where you are.
A Facebook post incorrectly claims that dialling 55 when on a 999 call will automatically send the police to where you are without you having to speak.
If you can’t talk during a 999 call, dialling 55 should route your call to the police. But they won’t necessarily send officers and they can’t always trace calls to an exact address.
This number is for a now-expired patent for an ineffective AIDS cure.
Photographs show many electric cars that were scrapped because their batteries were too expensive to replace.
The electric cars were part of a French car-sharing business, which stopped trading suddenly in 2018.
Incorrect. These cars were scrapped because they were part of the fleet of a French business that stopped trading.
After the election debate on ITV between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn, ITV and the BBC quoted the only poll which didn’t find Jeremy Corbyn to be the winner.
The BBC only cited the YouGov poll showing 51% of people though Boris Johnson won the ITV leaders debate, because it was the only poll conducted in a way to produce meaningful results.
All the polls which found Corbyn to be the winner were conducted on Twitter, meaning they are not designed to represent the general population and are largely meaningless. The BBC and ITV reported on a YouGov poll which was designed to do this and so is meaningful.
One million migrants are expected in the EU this year and 800,000 have already arrived.
One million people will seek asylum in the EU in 2015, according to the OECD; around half of them may already have arrived. All these estimates are uncertain.
It is clear the people of Scotland don’t want a second independence referendum.
Opinion polls show more people are against a second referendum on independence than are for it.
Recent opinion polls suggest people in Scotland don’t want a second referendum, but pollsters don’t ask the question consistently.
The big banks and multinationals might be lobbying to keep us in the EU, but small and medium-sized businesses feel differently
There aren’t any representative surveys of business opinion generally that we’re aware of, but there is evidence that smaller businesses are more divided on the EU than larger businesses.
70% of all flights / all international flights by UK residents are taken by just 15% of the population.
Crunching the best available data suggests that, yes, they do.
70% of all flights in Great Britain were taken by 15% of adults according to analysis of a 2014 government survey.
There have been £6 billion of cuts to social care in the last eight years.
The number of people receiving adult social care from their local council fell by around 425,000 between 2009/10 and 2013/14.
This is the estimated cumulative difference between what councils in England wanted to spend and what they had the available budget to spend on adult social care between 2010 and 2017. The expected savings this year are planned to take the figure to £7 billion. We’ve asked the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services for more information about the figure.
Death is listed as a side effect of the MMR vaccine.
Incorrect. The US MMR vaccine package insert, under “adverse reactions”, says death from various and sometimes unknown causes has been reported after vaccination but a causal relationship hasn’t been found in healthy individuals. Death isn’t listed under adverse reactions on either MMR vaccine used in the UK.
The EU has stopped the UK from having free ports.
Free ports (areas within countries where import tariffs don’t apply) exist within the EU, but in a more limited form than elsewhere in the world.
Incorrect. Free ports exist within the EU. The UK had free ports until 2012. However, EU law means free ports exist in a more limited form than elsewhere in the world.
The government hasn’t balanced its books because debt is up from £1 trillion to £1.7 trillion.
The deficit is falling and debt is still rising.
Correct. The deficit is falling and debt is still rising.
Correct. The number of unemployed 16-24 year olds has fallen by 43% between 2010 and 2018.
40% of grassroots music venues in London have shut in the past eight years.
A report for the Mayor of London found 35% fewer venues in 2015 than 2007. City Hall says it’s now 40%.
Four in ten fathers will not see their children this Father’s Day.
A survey does not show that four in ten dads would not see their children on Father’s Day, as newspapers and Fathers4Justice have claimed.
Incorrect. 37% of fathers who responded to a recent survey said that either they, or someone they knew, had ever experienced not seeing their children on Father's Day.
Gargling water mixed with salt or vinegar eliminates the new coronavirus from your throat.
The NHS advises people to drink water when they are ill with the new coronavirus, but this is not a treatment for the disease.
Some airlines are not allowing vaccinated passengers to fly.
There is no evidence airlines are planning to ban vaccinated passengers, and no record of airlines meeting to discuss the possibility of this happening.
A picture claims to show a ‘hammerhead salamander’.
A picture showing a ‘hammerhead salamander’ shows a model of a diplocaulus, an extinct amphibian.
The picture shows a model of a dipocaulus, sometimes called a hammerhead salamander, which is extinct.
There was no “pandemic death rate” in 2020.
73,766 deaths were registered as being due to Covid-19 from March to December 2020 in England and Wales.
A picture shows an experiment was conducted to race cheetahs against greyhounds. When the cheetahs didn’t race the explanation given was that cheetahs had too much self-worth to race dogs.
While some cheetahs have not performed when raced against greyhounds, there’s no evidence this is because they consider themselves better than greyhounds.
Cheetahs have raced greyhounds in the past. When they don’t, it’s been hypothesised this could be for a range of reasons including motivation. The picture provided as evidence is from a car advert, not a real greyhound/cheetah race.
If there is no new deputy First Minister in Northern Ireland within a week, the law requires an election there.
The deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland, Martin McGuinness, resigned on Monday 9 January. If the Sinn Féin party don’t nominate a replacement, that does mean an election.
The wealthiest are paying more and more tax.
Define wealthiest and we’ll get back to you.
There’s no one-line answer: it depends on who you define as the wealthiest.
All four have had some cuts... but only two have been cut overall.
The main rate has been cut. But overall, policy changes under the Conservatives and the Coalition have tended to push revenues up.
At the beginning of 2020 there were 4.3 million children growing up in poverty.
Claims about all households in poverty struggling to put food on the table need a closer look.
This is correct, according to data on relative poverty after housing costs. Other measures of poverty would show different figures.
The attainment gap in schools is narrowing.
The Social Mobility Commission says the attainment gap is narrowing, meaning that poorer pupils’ results are getting closer to those of their wealthier classmates. But there’s more to the story.
This is correct according to the Social Mobility Commission, but it also says there is still a “clear and strong” link between income and attainment and that the gap widens as a pupil goes through school.
Campaigners on both sides of the EU referendum made false claims.
That’s correct. Sometimes they even made false claims about the false claims made by each other.
Punishment for breaking lockdown is harsher than for possessing images of child abuse.
Fines for breaking ‘rule of six’ start at £50 if paid on time.
Sentencing for both crimes varies greatly. The fine cited for breaking lockdown (£3,400) is roughly correct after numerous breaches, and punishment for possession of indecent images of children can vary depending on the exact offence.
The EU will continue to control migration, trade, VAT, and vital security policies such as counter-terrorism. EU law will carry on having ultimate authority over British law
EU law does override UK law, and has mostly taken over control of trade, immigration from other EU countries, and VAT. The EU doesn’t control counter-terrorism or the intelligence services.
There is no general age limit for competing in the Olympics.
This is correct. The age limits are set by the international governing body for each sport.
The NHS recommends washing your underwear and towels at 60C or 40C with a bleach-based laundry product to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.
An ‘essential guide’ to avoiding the new coronavirus by the Daily Mail includes several pieces of advice not recommended by the government.
This is not NHS advice on limiting the spread of the new coronavirus. It comes from advice on stopping the spread of germs generally.
The super-rich and big corporations dodge £90 billion in tax every year.
MP Zarah Sultana claimed that the super-rich and large corporations dodge £90 billion in tax every year. This is based on an estimate for the tax gap which is much higher than the official figure.
This is an unofficial estimate of the total tax gap. The figures are disputed and do not just cover tax dodging by the super-rich and big corporations.
The richest 1% of people in the UK own more than twenty times the wealth of the poorest 20% in the UK.
Oxfam claims that the richest 1% of UK wealth-holders own at least twenty-times more than the poorest 20%. That’s reasonable, but finding out what the wealthiest own is harder than you might expect.
Finding out what the wealthiest own is harder than you might expect, but this is a reasonable claim that’s based on a well-regarded set of estimates. It’s important not to confused inequalities of wealth with inequalities of income, which are much lower.
A video of people throwing rocks into a road is of Palestinians.
Over 200,000 nurses have quit the NHS since 2010.
Around 200,000 nurses and health visitors who have left the NHS in England in the last eight years, including those who have retired or died in service.
This figure covers all nurses and health visitors who have left the NHS in England in the last eight years, including those with an unknown reason for leaving as well as those who have retired or died in service. Overall the number of nurses working in the NHS is slightly higher than in 2010.
False. Covid-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation in March 2020.
The number of British children who need foster care has risen by 44% during the pandemic, children’s charity Barnardo’s has warned.
Barnardo’s has seen a 44% increase in the number of children referred from councils to be placed in foster care during the pandemic.
Barnardo’s has seen a 44% rise in the number of referrals to its fostering services from councils in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. But that doesn’t mean the number of children needing foster care has risen by 44%.
Deaths in care homes are up 81% since the start of the Covid-19 vaccination rollout.
The vaccination programme started at around the same time as the recent wave of Covid-19 deaths.
Deaths in care homes are up about that much since before the vaccination rollout, although we haven’t been able to replicate the 81% figure exactly. These are not deaths due to the vaccine. They are largely due to Covid-19 itself and reporting delays.
The number of poor and non-white students at Oxford and Cambridge is decreasing.
Check the figures on Oxford and Cambridge entry.
The proportion of Oxbridge students from a BME background has increased. The proportion from disadvantaged areas is low - with different trends from Oxford and Cambridge.
If you call 999 in an emergency but can’t speak, press 55 and they can track where you are calling from using new technology.
Dialling 55 when you make an emergency call should put you through to the police, but doesn’t mean your location will be tracked.
If you can’t talk during a 999 call, dialling 55 should route your call to the police. But it won’t automatically track your location, and it’s not always possible to pinpoint your exact location if calling from a mobile.
Celine Dion reacted to a fan singing ‘I Surrender’ to her by winding up her window.
Celine Dion didn’t wind her car window up at a singing fan. This video is edited. Celine Dion waited patiently as the fan sang ‘I Surrender’
This video is edited. In the original Celine Dion listens to the singer.
There will be 50,000 more nurses going into the NHS.
The government has committed to do this by 2024/25. Not all of these nurses will be ‘new’.
People taking the vaccines have an 85% chance of survival.
This is not true. The Covid-19 vaccines have a survival rate vastly higher than this.
People who haven’t had the Covid-19 vaccine are not dying.
Age adjusted mortality rates are higher for those who haven’t been vaccinated.
Sadly they are. In the UK, hundreds of unvaccinated people died with Covid-19 in the last few weeks of 2021 alone. They are also more likely to die of Covid-19 than vaccinated people.
The present government has spent more on foreign aid than any previous Labour government.
The government’s plan to reduce foreign aid will still mean spending more on it than past governments did.
This is true, at least from the data that goes back to 1970. It has also spent more than any previous Conservative government in that period.
Up to a third of millennials face renting their entire lives.
The Resolution Foundation estimates that between 66% and 73% of millennials will own their own homes by 2060 (around pension age). 77% of pensioners owned their homes in 2016.
This is based on a projection made by the Resolution Foundation. Their “pessimistic” UK scenario says 66% of families where the head of household was born from 1981-1995 will own their own home by 2060. Their “optimistic” scenario says 73% will.
The NHS track and trace app is being automatically downloaded onto phones.
“COVID-19 exposure notifications” is not an app—it is an API that can work with tracing apps if they are downloaded.
This is incorrect. What has been added is an API, which can help Covid-19 tracking apps function. The official tracking app is not available in the UK yet, outside of testing in the Isle of Wight.
A casting call looking for actors to play “hospital patients” suggests there aren’t enough genuine patients in hospitals.
Some have claimed a search for extras shows something fishy is going on.
The NHS has confirmed that the job advert was for actors to feature in an NHS staff recruitment campaign.
100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions.
There’s more to the claim that 100 companies cause 71% of emissions.
Of the estimated greenhouse gas emissions from human activity (excluding certain sources like agricultural methane) between 1988 and 2015, 71% originated from 100 fossil fuel producers. This includes the emissions released when the fossil fuels they sold were subsequently used by their customers.
News footage from Ukraine shows someone moving inside into a body bag and pretending to be a victim of the Russian invasion.
It’s actually from a climate protest in Vienna.
This clip is not from Ukraine. It has been manipulated, with the original footage being taken at a climate protest in Vienna.
The Canadian government is introducing a social credit scheme.
A Facebook post falsely claims a scheme that monitors the actions of businesses and citizens and uses financial sanctions as punishments will soon be used in Canada.
This is not happening. It is a misinterpretation of advice given to Canadian businesses that operate in China where a social credit scheme exists.
Parliament will have to change the Terrorism Act after judges declared that parts of it are incompatible with human rights.
The David Miranda case has been hailed as a "huge win" for journalism, but doesn't automatically mean that the Terrorism Act will be changed.
The ruling doesn't mean that the law is no longer in force or that Parliament has to revise it. A declaration of incompatibility is a formal signal from judges that an Act should be changed. It generally is, but doesn't have to be.
Between 1995 and 2011, EU immigrants contributed £8.8 billion more than they gained.
That’s an estimate from a 2013 study. There are lots of ways to calculate economic impact of immigration and no single correct answer to that question.
Finland, South Korea and Canada, which all have the most comprehensive systems, have been repeatedly shown to have the best educated children in the world.
We've checked claims from this week's BBC Question Time on education systems across the world.
Finland, South Korea and Canada have done consistently well in tests that compare 15 year-olds internationally, although these tests aren’t a perfect guide to the relative performance of different education systems. We haven’t seen definitive evidence that the success of these systems is due to the fact they’re comprehensive.
Ms von der Leyen was nominated to be President of the European Commission by the European Council. Her nomination does need to be approved by a majority of MEPs in the EU parliament (who were voted for in May).
The new coronavirus does not settle in the air but is grounded so it is not transmitted by air.
The virus can spread via sneeze and cough droplets that can move a short distance through the air and into someone else’s system.
£1.8 billion of ‘new money’ has been announced for the NHS over the next five years.
£850 million has been announced for 20 hospitals over the next five years and £1 billion for the NHS in capital funding this year. The £1 billion is money that NHS trusts previously earned through a cost-cutting incentive scheme, but were then told not to spend. It is ‘new’ in the sense that the Treasury had not previously budgeted for them spending it.
Police officers suffered broken bones at a Bristol protest.
Avon and Somerset police initially said one officer had a broken arm and another had broken ribs.
This is incorrect. Avon and Somerset police initially said two police officers had broken bones, but have since retracted this.
Research shows that only 11% of people self-isolate when asked to do so by NHS Test and Trace.
This is correct for those who were close contacts of people who had tested positive. A survey in the summer found that only 11% of these people stayed in their homes for the full period required.
The saving to the public purse from closing the Renewables Obligation (RO) to onshore wind a year early is up to £270 million a year.
The impact of the early closure of the Renewables Obligation to onshore wind on public finances.
Amber Rudd, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change
The government won't improve its finances by closing the RO early, as the scheme is paid for by energy suppliers and their consumers. £270 million is the government's upper estimate of how much the closure could save them.
The government has already spent money preparing for it, and it may reduce economic performance in the long term.
Incorrect. The government has already spent money on specifically preparing for no deal. Experts say no deal may lead to a long-term reduction in economic prosperity.
A new lung cancer drug has been authorised under an international scheme that the UK has been able to join post Brexit.
The medication has been authorised for a new and slightly different use, but the medication itself is not new.
The medication has had EU authorisation since 2016 but the recent authorisation has allowed a new use of the medication, earlier in the disease. This has not yet been authorised in the EU.
Iain Duncan Smith MP gets a £77 lunch allowance.
This is not correct. MPs can claim £25 per night for food expenses if they stay overnight outside of their constituency and the London area.
The Liberal Democrats were the first party to call for an in/out referendum on the UK’s EU membership.
The Lib Dems were not the first party ever to campaign for an EU referendum, but they were the first major party to do so—advocating that the UK remain in the EU.
Incorrect. The Referendum Party called for a referendum in the 1990s. The earliest call we’ve seen for a referendum from the Lib Dems was in 2007.
London overtook New York in murders in February for the first time in modern history as the capital endured a dramatic surge in knife crime.
Mostly correct. More homicides (not just murders) were recorded in London than New York over the past two months. Looking over the longer term the figure is generally higher in New York. There has been a surge in knife crime.
Of the 635 MPs in the House of Commons some have been accused of spousal abuse or writing bad cheques, or have been arrested for fraud, drug-related charges, shoplifting or drink driving, or have bankrupted at least two businesses, have bad credit, or are defendants in lawsuits.
Incorrect. The post was originally circulated online around 20 years ago making claims about members of the US Congress and using almost exactly the same figures. Even back then the claims it made were unverifiable.
Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine is designed to change people’s DNA.
This is a common myth about mRNA vaccines, which give instructions to cells, but do not change their DNA.
This is not true. mRNA vaccines like Moderna’s instruct cells in the body to make proteins. They do not change their DNA.
The Defence Secretary has already secured £24 billion of additional defence funding.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies has previously described the practice of adding up multiple years of spending increases as “misleading”.
This is the cumulative cash-terms increase in the defence budget over four years. The amount the annual budget is expected to rise by over this period is actually £6.2 billion in cash terms—and less when you take into account inflation.
Mark Carney said there would be a recession in the case of a vote in favour of Brexit.
He said before the referendum vote that it was a possibility. He expected a “material slowing in growth”, and that a recession was one of “a range of possible scenarios”.
The label on a box of face masks says “will not protect against Covid-19”. Therefore it’s “anti-science” to wear one.
Masks have been shown to reduce the spread of droplets and are therefore thought to help prevent onward transmission.
The main role of this type of face mask is to reduce the spread of Covid-19 droplets from an infected wearer, to help protect others, rather than to protect the wearer from infection.
We have a £100 billion trade deficit with Europe.
The UK had a £70 billion ‘trade deficit’ with the rest of the EU in 2017.
The UK was sold just under £70 billion more in goods and services by the rest of the EU than it sold to them in 2017.
The mandatory Covid-19 vaccine has been passed through the House of Lords without an impact assessment having been carried out.
An amendment to the Health and Social Care Act has been criticised because it did not include a full impact assessment.
This is true, but applies only to the amendment to the Health and Social Care Act, which mandates that all care home workers must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 from November.
The EU’s accounts haven’t been signed off for years.
It’s often argued both that the EU’s budget hasn’t been signed off by the auditors for years, and that it’s consistently given a clean bill of health.
Auditors say the accounts have been accurate since 2007. But they have historically recorded significant errors in how money is paid since their first audit in 1995. In the most recent year, they found a significant part of the EU’s spending was largely error-free for the first time.
US patent number 20120251502 is for Ebola.
This application number was for a strain of the Ebola virus but the application has now been abandoned. The virus was not created by those who filed the patent.
The Conservatives broke a manifesto promise by raising national insurance rates in the 2017 budget.
The 2015 Conservative manifesto promised not to raise national insurance rates before 2020. The 2017 budget raised the rate of national insurance contributions paid by some self-employed people.
The 2015 Conservative election manifesto promised not to raise national insurance rates this parliament. The government has now announced plans to raise national insurance rates for some self-employed people.
Over 500 churches have been closed in London.
This is an estimate for the number of churches converted into homes between 2001 and 2006, so doesn’t tell us how many churches have closed in recent years.
Millions of people have been injured by the vaccines.
A video on Facebook shares several common types of harmful misinformation about Covid-19 and the vaccines.
This is based on a common misunderstanding of the Yellow Card monitoring system. Suspected adverse events reported through the system are not proven side effects.
Profit margins of the big six energy companies hit their highest ever level.
Average profit margins for the big six energy companies are at their highest level.
That’s correct if you look at the average. It was 4.5% in 2016, up from 1% in 2009 when these figures were first published. Looking at individual companies there is a lot of variation though.
A news reporter gets hit by a sign while reporting during a storm.
A viral video from 2015 has been edited.
Although most of the video is genuine, the part where she gets hit by the sign was edited in.
People pay for tariffs set by the EU every time they shop—and the government collects the money and sends it to Brussels.
Correct. A proportion of this money is then spent in the UK on EU-funded projects, though less than most other EU countries.
DWP employs 4,045 to tackle benefit fraud.
HMRC employs around 1,000 staff to work with and investigate the tax affairs of the affluent and super-rich. DWP employs around 4,000 staff in its benefit fraud team.
It employs around 4,000 full-time equivalent staff to deal with benefit fraud, as of October 2017. Of these, 1,900 are directly involved in investigations. An estimated £2 billion in benefits were fraudulently claimed in 2017/18, according to the government.
Al Gore said that the ice caps would melt by 2014.
He didn’t say this, although he did suggest that sea ice in the Arctic might be gone during summer months by that year. Sea ice isn’t the only ice in the polar ice caps.
1,295 died of a stroke in England in one day.
This is likely not true. Stroke death figures in England are closer to 65 people daily.
Scientists in Israel are likely to announce the development of a coronavirus vaccine.
Scientists in Israel and elsewhere are working on developing a vaccination to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, but it won’t be ready for the public for over a year.
£22 billion was taken out of welfare between 2010 and 2015.
This is how much more would have been spent in real terms on social security payments across the UK between 2010/11 and 2015/16, had changes introduced between 2010 and 2015 not taken place.
Suicide is killing more people than Covid-19 in September 2021.
A Facebook post that suicide deaths are higher provides no evidence. And what evidence we have suggests the opposite.
This is almost certainly untrue. We do not yet have exact numbers for either cause of death, but the evidence we have on 16 September 2021 suggests that Covid deaths are probably several times higher.
An overwhelming majority of the public would support renationalising the railways, according to a poll.
A poll of 1,500 adults in Great Britain found that 64% would support bringing the railways back into public ownership.
64% of the 1,500 adults polled in June 2018 said they would support renationalising the railways. 19% said they would oppose it, and 17% said they didn’t know. The results are similar to other polls done on the question.
About 3-4% of reported rapes are based on false allegations.
It’s impossible to know how many false allegations of rape are made, but the evidence suggests that proven cases are rare. 3-4% of allegations is a reasonable estimate.
There’s no way to know the true figure, and it depends which types of case you include in your definition. Evidence from England and Wales suggests that 3-4% is a reasonable estimate for the number based on malicious complaints.
UK universities get 15% extra money in funding from the EU, on top of what the government gives them.
British universities don't get a straightforward 15% 'top-up' from the EU on central government funding.
15%, or a little higher, is a rough estimate of additional EU research and development funding; this isn't only for universities. British higher education providers get at least 2.6% of their total income from the EU, or around 16% of their research income.
The civil servant responsible for increasing the state pension age to 67 is retiring at 61 with a £1.8 million pension pot.
Its figures on the pension of the former-permanent secretary to the DWP are correct, his role in the decision making process is less clear cut.
The former-permanent secretary to the Department for Work and Pensions, who oversaw part of the process of increasing the state pension age to 68, did retire at 61 with this pension pot. But civil servants don’t make policy decisions, meaning he didn’t decide to raise the age himself.
The UK has spent 100 million on security at Calais in the last three years.
The UK and France have cooperated on border controls around French ports for years. How much do we spend on doing so?
We haven’t seen evidence to confirm this. It's from a news report apparently based on an unpublished government briefing to journalists. An agreement on Thursday now means the figure is closer to £150m and covers others French ports as well.
Videos show Ukraine being invaded by Russia.
At least some of the clips in a video supposedly showing Russia invading Ukraine aren’t genuine.
At least some of the videos do not show this.
10 of the UK’s Supreme Court judges voted to remain, and Lord Wilson voted to leave.
Judges have to stay politically impartial, and we have no idea how they voted.
We don’t know how any of the Supreme Court judges voted.
Yellow Card data will allow the vaccines to move out of the phase 3 clinical trials and be granted full approval.
Yellow Card data isn’t required for the vaccines to “move out of” phase 3 trials. Phase 3 trials for the vaccines have reported their main findings, and participants will be followed up for several years.
One in five over-65s in the UK is classified as a millionaire
A quarter of over 65s live in households with wealth above a million pounds.
One in five households in Great Britain, headed by an over-65, has a total wealth of over a million pounds.
50% of delayed discharges accounted for by social care are in 24 local authorities.
20 councils accounted for 50% of the discharges delayed due to social care in November 2016. 24 councils accounted for around 50% of delays due to any reason.
Around 24 councils accounted for roughly half of delayed discharges from hospital in November 2016, but the majority of these delays were due to the NHS, not social care. Looking just at social care 20 councils accounted for 50% of the delayed discharges. These councils also tend to have more people, and the disparity is lower when you take population size into account.
The government has told your GP to hand over your health data, including sexual and mental health data to third parties for payment.
NHS Digital will start collecting GP data which will include information of this nature, though it will be pseudonymised. NHS Digital says it charges organisations for its services processing and delivering the data.
Being caught urinating in public could put you on the sex offenders register.
It's very unlikely that being caught urinating in public will get you charged with a sexual offence, like exposure, that puts you on the police register.
Very unlikely. Being convicted of exposure requires an intention to be seen by others, and not everyone convicted of that offence has to register.
Universal Credit will mean 200,000 more people will be in work when it’s fully rolled-out.
The National Audit Office says the government will never be able to measure whether Universal Credit leads to 200,000 more people in work.
That’s according to the government’s own estimate, but it’s subject to significant doubt. It’s also currently unprovable: the National Audit Office says “the Department will never be able to measure whether Universal Credit actually leads to 200,000 more people in work”.
The number of Covid hospitalisations is 0.5% of the level of cases.
Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson’s calculation of Covid hospitalisation rate is flawed in multiple ways.
The statistics used to make this claim compare positive test results when tests were first taken versus current hospitalisation figures. Because of the time it may take for symptoms to develop before hospitalisation, this is a flawed calculation.
Dettol antiseptic spray says it kills human coronavirus.
Coronavirus is a category of viruses which includes the common cold, as well as the new Wuhan coronavirus.
That is correct but that doesn’t mean that Dettol spray can kill the new coronavirus identified in Wuhan. Coronavirus is a category of viruses that includes the common cold, and it is likely this the label is referring to.
The Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines use lipid nanoparticles to deliver an mRNA load into cells.
Although sometimes flu and Covid-19 have similar symptoms, they are different illnesses caused by different organisms.
Covid-19 is not a rebrand of flu. Although there has been a reduction of flu this year there is no evidence to suggest that Covid-19 is simply influenza in a new guise. Not least because they are caused by different organisms.
Adidas, Puma and Nike use kangaroo leather in their football boots.
Correct. All these companies currently sell football boots made using kangaroo leather.
Wind turbines can never generate as much energy as the energy invested in building them.
A post claiming wind turbines can never produce as much energy as was taken to build them is based on a selective quotation and is incorrect.
Incorrect—this is based on a selective quotation. It could, in theory, be the case for turbines placed in poor locations. But studies show turbines pay their energy cost back quickly.
Prisoners in the UK can watch TV all day for free.
Prisoners rewarded for good behaviour can have a TV in their prison cell. Prisoners are exempt from the TV licence fee, but a rental charge of £1 per cell per week applies.
The UK has the worst Covid death toll in Europe.
It has recorded the 14th highest number of Covid-19 deaths per million people.
As of 25 May 2021, the UK had the 14th worst death toll in Europe when you factor in the size of the country. It has recorded more deaths than any other country, but it also has a much larger population than most.
A video shows Russian soldiers unsuccessfully discharging a rocket propelled grenade launcher, because the equipment is so old.
A longer version says it shows the Kenyan army.
The video appeared online before the invasion, and a longer version shows it likely features members of the Kenya Defence Forces.
British old age pensioners get a weekly hardship allowance of £0.
Correct, insofar as the “weekly hardship allowance” doesn’t exist. Pensioners can claim additional benefits to help with their income.
One in 14 adults was abused as a child in England and Wales.
This refers to sexual abuse and is roughly correct according to estimates from the Crime Survey.
Norway and Switzerland have to accept EU laws despite not being members in order to trade with it.
The government claims that Norway and Switzerland have to accept EU laws despite not being members in order to access the single market. That's about right.
This is about right. Both Norway and Switzerland keep out of some EU activities, such as the Common Agricultural Policy. But they bring many of their laws into line with EU rules, on the single market in particular. Norway incorporates single market rules as they’re made, while Switzerland accepts EU law from time to time in return for more market access.
A video from the news shows a ‘crisis actor’ moving in a body bag.
People shown lying on the ground to protest climate policy were not crisis actors caught unawares.
This is false. The video shows climate policy protesters.
800,000 of the "2 million jobs created" are zero hour contracts.
We have no way of knowing how much of the increase in employment (the "2 million jobs") over last Parliament came from zero hour contracts.
Interest payments on the national debt cost the government £46 billion a year.
That’s about right for 2015/16, although the government effectively paid some of that to itself because it went to the state-owned Bank of England. Ignoring these payments, the government spent around £33 billion on debt interest that year.
39 people were murdered in one day in England.
This is likely untrue. We could find no evidence of a recent mass homicide, and on average two people die of homicide each day in England.
More than four million calls to the taxman are going unanswered, new figures show.
Around 13% of calls to HMRC have gone unanswered in the eleven months from April 2017, compared to 8% in the same months the year before.
This was the case in 2016/17, according to analysis from the National Audit Office. This year the figure is higher. Around 5.6 million customer calls to HMRC (13%) were unanswered between April 2017 and February 2018.
A debate in parliament about teenage mental health was attended by only 11 MPs.
The screenshot claiming to show this is from an adjournment debate, an end of day session which does not require a decision to be made by parliament.
The sparsely-attended debate was an adjournment debate. These are not usually attended by many MPs as they do not involve voting and occur at the end of the day.
You should just ignore a parking charge notice.
If you receive a parking charge notice from a private car park and wish to appeal it, don’t pay it immediately.
You shouldn’t ignore it completely. If you want to appeal the notice then don’t pay immediately and follow guidance on appeals provided by Citizens Advice. But if you don’t have grounds to appeal, then it’s best to pay.
The Conservatives are levelling up per pupil funding.
Per pupil spending in England is set to increase over the next three years to roughly the level it was at in 2009/10.
Per pupil spending on schools in England is set to increase over the next three years to roughly the level it was at in 2009/10.
670,000 people marched for a People’s Vote in London on Saturday 20 October
670,000 is an estimate from the organisers. We can’t say for sure if it’s accurate or not, but it may be on the high side.
This is an estimate by the organisers of the march. We can’t say for sure if it’s accurate or not, but it may be on the high side.
A vaccine for coronavirus was made in 2001.
There isn’t a vaccine for the new coronavirus yet.
The vaccine pictured is one for dogs for canine coronavirus. It does not protect against Covid-19 and is not for humans.
Two authors predicted the coronavirus decades before the outbreak.
One is a sci-fi novel about a disease created in a lab outside of Wuhan, and another is a book of predictions that said a “pneumonia-like” illness would spread in 2020.
A 1980s sci-fi novel describes a disease called “Wuhan-400” that bears little similarity to the new Wuhan coronavirus. A book of “prophecies about the end of the world” written in 2008 predicted that a pneumonia-like illness would spread across the world in the year 2020.
Labour policies would save the average family £6,700.
This figure is not credible and does not represent what an average family would save.
Chuka Umunna has suggested a possible coup against Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson, and wrote “It’s a fact the no-deal Brexit is the best possible outcome for the party”.
Images of an apparent Guardian article reporting on “turmoil at heart of Liberal Democrats” are fake.
This is incorrect. Mr Umunna has not done either of these things, and the claim comes from edited images masquerading as a genuine Guardian news article.
After nine years of a Conservative government, the NHS waiting list has increased by 70%.
In May 2019 there were 4.4 million referrals for treatment on the NHS in England, where the treatment had not yet begun. That’s an increase of 70% compared to May 2010. The period covers coalition and Conservative governments.
Covid-19 is no longer classified as a high consequence infectious disease.
Correct. That doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous.
A photo of a bicycle-like vehicle, with an attached bed for carrying patients, depicts the first ambulance service.
A Facebook post incorrectly claims a photo from 1941 depicts the world’s first ambulance service.
The photo is from 1941 whereas (in the UK at least) ambulance services began forming during the 19th century.
The UK is lobbying to reduce EU duties on Chinese steel.
China is accused of 'dumping' steel on EU markets. We've looked at what this means and at the UK's position.
The UK has objected to raising duties on Chinese steel in the past, and is thought to be a supporter of China being granted ‘Market Economy Status’ which may result in lower duties in the future. At present it backs the duties currently imposed by the EU.
Nine in ten London newborns had at least one parent born overseas in 2015.
The use of coins and banknotes is declining, but the government and the central bank have no plans to stop issuing them.
This is not true. Cashless transactions are common in Sweden, but the government told us it has no plans to stop issuing notes and coins.
There are 1,000 fewer GPs now than there were when Theresa May became Prime Minister.
The number of GPs is falling, but we can’t be certain by how much. The number in training is rising, although we don’t know if this will be enough for the government to meet its recruitment targets.
This uses figures that aren’t comparable, but it’s still almost certain that the number of GPs in England has fallen since last year, and could have fallen by over 1,000.
Between 13,000 and 125,000 operations will be cancelled as a result of upcoming junior doctors’ strikes.
Although reports have varied, the government and health bosses are now agreed that around 125,000 operations are expected to be cancelled over junior doctors’ strikes between September and December.
The current estimate is 125,000 operations cancelled, this figure is based on the number of operations which were cancelled over two days during the last strike in April. However, these figures were calculated before the specific dates were announced and before the September strike was suspended
Over 70% of Covid-19 deaths are now in vaccinated people in the UK.
The UKHSA explained these figures are to be expected, because a larger proportion of the population are vaccinated than unvaccinated.
This is correct for deaths in England, and comes from UKHSA data in its week 38 vaccine surveillance report. However, the UKHSA explains that this is expected because a larger proportion of the population are vaccinated than unvaccinated, particularly among vulnerable groups
The use of stop and search has fallen by almost two thirds since reforms to the system.
The government is using an arcane loophole to bypass the House of Commons to force through changes to maintenance grants for students.
There's a debate over the way in which proposals to replace student maintenance grants with beefed-up loans have been introduced. We've taken a look.
The way in which proposals are being introduced isn't unusual. The debate is over whether the government should have made the time for MPs to debate the changes in the chamber of the House of Commons following opposition from the Labour Party.
There are now more deaths from the Covid-19 vaccine per day than there are with Covid-19 within 28 days of a positive test.
This is incorrect. The vaccine has not caused any deaths per day. That is how many people have died after a vaccine.
Labour pledged to scrap all controls on immigration
Labour passed a motion at its party conference to extend free movement. This doesn’t mean scrapping all immigration controls.
Incorrect. Labour passed a motion at its party conference to extend free movement and ruling out certain forms of immigration systems. This doesn’t mean scrapping all immigration controls.
Postal ballots date of birth section is being pre-filled with the year starting “19”, and this could suppress young voter turnout.
Councils say postal ballots are prefilled to prevent people from entering the wrong date.
Postal voters should receive a ballot with the correct first two digits of their year of birth prefilled; this is to prevent people from erroneously writing the wrong date. If they do receive a ballot with the wrong first two digits, they should just cross them out and write the correct ones.
Lockdowns will end when healthy people stop getting tested.
People not getting tested will not stop lockdowns from happening. The number of tests, positive cases and things like test positivity are all used to measure the outbreak. A lack of testing might lead to an extended pandemic.
The image in the post shows soldiers during World War Two.
The image is from World War One. All of those who served in the conflict died some years before the Brexit vote.
Hitler fluoridated the water in the concentration camps to sedate the prisoners.
The student union confirmed that a vote last year had been misinterpreted by the press.
A 1989 medical textbook lists the common cold as a disease caused by coronaviruses.
Coronaviruses are a family of viruses which include those which cause the common cold, SARS and Covid-19.
True but coronaviruses are a family of viruses we’ve known that humans can get since the 1960s. Some cause the common cold. SARS-CoV-2 causes Covid-19.
Vote Leave is accused of breaking electoral law.
Correct it was fined £61,000 by the Electoral Commission for a number of offences.
Rio 2016 was the UK's best overseas Olympics.
This is correct. The only times the UK has won more gold medals was in 1908 and 2012 when the games were held in London.
Labour is pushing Theresa May for the UK to have access to the Single Market after Brexit.
Labour wants to be outside the customs union and single market after Brexit, but with similar levels of access as to now. The EU would almost certainly reject this without significant re-negotiation.
Labour says it wants to be outside of the single market after Brexit, but has tabled amendments calling on the government to seek “full access to the internal market of the European Union”. Labour suggests the issue of free movement would have to be negotiated in this scenario. It’s hard to judge how feasible this would be as a negotiating position, but it seems to fall foul of the EU’s red lines.
A Survation poll for Esher and Walton shows the Liberal Democrats polling ahead of incumbent MP Dominic Raab.
Survation’s poll was a national survey of voting intention which was then used to model an estimate of what local voting could be – this might not be reliable.
Survation’s poll wasn’t of the constituency, it was a national survey of voting intention which was then used to model an estimate of what local voting could be – this might not be reliable.
If you need the police in a situation where you can’t speak, ring 999 and when they answer press 55. This tells them that you need help and they will dispatch police to you.
If you can’t speak during a 999 call, dialling 55 can alert the operator that you need help, but it won’t guarantee that the police will come.
The majority of British Jews are Zionists.
A 2015 survey found around 60% of British Jews are Zionists and 90% support Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.
A 2015 survey found about 3 in 5 British Jews identify as Zionists, though the term isn’t clearly defined. 9 in 10 British Jews support the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state.
We can leave the EU with no deal and negotiate a free trade agreement during the transition period.
Incorrect. The transition period is part of the withdrawal agreement. Leaving the EU with no deal means there’s no transition period – though we could still try and negotiate a free trade agreement following a no-deal Brexit.
The MHRA has confirmed deaths due to Covid-19 vaccines in 10 months are 330% higher than deaths due to all other vaccines in the past 20 years.
An article by The Exposé incorrectly claims that there have been over four times as many deaths due to Covid vaccines in 10 months as due to all other vaccines in the last 20 years.
The MHRA did not say this. These statistics are based on reports sent to the regulator’s Yellow Card scheme, which does not confirm whether someone died from a vaccine. The MHRA also says deaths after Covid vaccines cannot be reliably compared with deaths after other vaccines, as there may be differences in reporting.
Immigration adds a city the size of Cardiff to the UK’s population every year.
Net migration in the UK was 327,000 in the year to March, roughly a city the size of Cardiff or Wakefield. It’s not at this level every year, but has been since 2015.
Net migration in the UK was 327,000 in the year to March. Cardiff has a population of 357,000. But this isn’t true every year. In 2014 net migration was 243,000.
Asylum seekers may see a doctor or get hospital treatment for free, and free prescriptions for medicine, free eye tests and free glasses.
Asylum seekers aren’t charged for GP visits, hospital treatment, or prescriptions. They may be eligible for free eye tests and vouchers for glasses.
Grant Shapps said that people who are double vaccinated are more likely to get and carry Covid-19.
Grant Shapps did say this. His office has explained that it was a simple mistake. He intended to say that people who are double vaccinated are much less likely to get and carry Covid-19.
The sudden deaths of 10 teenagers may be linked to Covid-19 vaccines.
A Facebook post misleadingly suggests Covid-19 vaccines were responsible for the deaths of 10 teenagers
There is no available evidence that shows vaccines were responsible for any of these deaths.
Last month MPs voted against removing the "tampon tax".
There's been some confusion over what MPs voted against last month regarding the so-called "tampon tax".
MPs didn't vote on whether to remove the tax (which can't be done without changing EU law). The amendment they voted against was on whether the government should have to set out a "road map" for how it will negotiate with the EU to get sanitary products exempt from VAT.
Research on the ongoing efficacy and safety of the vaccines will continue but data on key safety and efficacy aspects has been published and peer reviewed.
The same nurse was pictured vaccinating the first two recipients of the Covid-19 vaccine in the UK, despite them being 20 miles apart.
The first two patients were not 20 miles apart. They were at the same hospital in Coventry.
Since 2000 we’ve given the EU £100 billion more than we’ve got back.
Broadly correct. Since 2000 the UK has made a net contribution in cash terms of £109 billion. That’s £122 billion in real terms.
Labour have committed to hire 10,000 police officers at a cost of £3 billion.
Incorrect. Labour costed this at £770 million over five years in 2017, though this only covers police salaries and so the actual cost of recruitment would be higher.
M62 and M60 cameras went live on 8 January and clock you at 72mph.
This claim about speed cameras on the M60 and M62 have gone viral, but the national speed limit still stands on these roads.
Cameras on the M60 and M62 have been in operation since 1 January 2019. But the national speed limit is still 70mph.
The UK is already in the largest recession for 300 years.
The Bank of England has suggested this could be correct.
There are four young people with no underlying illnesses in an intensive care unit in Cork due to Covid-19, who had all been taking anti-inflammatory drugs.
These claims appear to have originated from a fake message circulating in Ireland said to be from “Dr Tim”.
This is not true. It has been denied by the clinical lead of Ireland’s public health service and the whole message branded ‘misinformation’.
The UK is doing more Covid-19 tests than virtually any country in Europe.
The Prime Minister claimed “we test more than virtually any country in Europe.” The UK appears to test more than most.
The UK appears to be testing fewer people than in Russia. But there isn’t enough data on this to determine for sure where the UK places, and the UK’s data isn’t particularly comparable with other countries.
A PPE shipment was destroyed at the Port of Dover after illegal immigrants were found travelling alongside it.
The Home Office says these claims are totally false.
There is no evidence this happened, and the authorities at the port say the claims are false.
Poland has lowered its retirement age from 67 to 60.
In October 2017, the retirement age in Poland was set at 65 for men and 60 for women. This reversed a 2013 policy which set about gradually raising the retirement age to 67 for both men and women.
Arrest warrants for Australia PM Scott Morrison, state premiers and other government officials have now been served to New South Wales police with a deadline for arrest of 31 January.
New South Wales police were given documents from a protest group but say they are planning no further action.
New South Wales police said they had received documentation from a protest group but that no further police action was expected. No such arrests were made by that date.
Scotland has the highest rate of workers in the UK earning the real living wage, at 81.6%.
Around 83% of employee jobs in Scotland receive the real living wage or more, this is higher than any of the UK countries, but it lower than in the South East region of England.
This seems to be based on slightly out of date figures, the most up to date figures we could find suggest this is a slight underestimate and that the figure is closer to 83%
Labour is pushing Theresa May for a UK-wide Customs Union.
Labour says it wants to whole of the UK to be outside the EU customs union after Brexit, but in a new customs union with similar levels of access, and the ability to strike free trade deals. This, like the government’s Chequers proposal, is likely to be unpalatable to the EU. It’s hard to judge how feasible this would be as a negotiating position, but it seems to fall foul of the EU’s red lines.
Asylum seeker benefits cost the UK taxpayer £60 million per year.
Incorrect. In 2019/20 the Home Office spent £470 million on providing accommodation and cash support to people seeking asylum.
After leaving the EU and replacing EU funding, the UK will have additional savings to spend on priorities such as the NHS.
Most economists forecast that savings on the EU membership fee would be outweighed by slower economic growth. Without raising taxes or borrowing more, the government would have less money to spend on public services.
A majority of voters say violence against MPs is “worth it” to get their way in Brexit.
The survey asked people if they would accept the risk of violence against MPs for their preferred Brexit outcome.
Incorrect. A majority said the “risk of violence” is “a price worth paying”. There’s a big distinction between the two, and survey it’s based on suffers from a number of flaws.
The Covid-19 vaccines are a mass clinical trial and won’t get to phase 3 trials until 2023.
The three Covid-19 vaccines currently in use in the UK have been through many stages of clinical trial and had phase 3 trial data published in peer reviewed journals. The phase 3 trials include long-term follow-up and have completion dates set for 2022 and 2023.
A majority of the public is against extending the transition period between the UK and the EU.
The poll found more people are opposed to extension than in favour of it, but less than 50% so it’s not a majority opinion. Many other recent polls have shown the opposite.
The government spent £44,000 on a toilet for Jeremy Hunt.
Jeremy Hunt said that a newly fitted bathroom in the Department of Health building was for long distance cyclists, rather than his personal use. The government hasn’t confirmed how much it cost.
The BBC said there is HIV in the Covid-19 vaccines.
Claims there is HIV in Covid-19 vaccines is false, and refers to a vaccine abandoned at the trial stage which did use a small piece of protein from HIV.
The BBC was talking about a vaccine which was trialled but never rolled out, which contained a small piece of HIV protein. None of the Covid-19 vaccines in use contain HIV material.
Under the new withdrawal agreement, UK fishing waters are not returned to the UK and EU members still fish UK waters.
The latest deal doesn’t change anything to do fisheries, compared to Theresa May’s deal. The UK is due to leave the Common Fisheries Policy so will be an independent coast state.
A new trial would allow over 31,000 women to perform their own smear tests.
HPV testing kits are not the same as smear tests and lead to results that can detect or not detect HPV rather than analysing changes to cervical cells.
It is near impossible to perform your own smear test. This is referring to a self swab to test for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The two tests are not the same thing.
The UK government spent £285 million building an airport on the island of Saint Helena that planes can't use.
About £285 million was indeed spent on a project to design, build and operate an airport on the island of St Helena for ten years.
About £285 million was spent on a project to design, build, and operate an airport on the island of St Helena for ten years. But due to the extreme winds on the island commercial flights have been unable to run as planned.
There are more homeless UK citizens than the entire population of Iceland.
The calculation includes the number of people living in temporary accommodation, hostels and those sleeping rough.
We don’t have definitive numbers but these figures are broadly comparable. The charity Shelter calculated that an estimated 320,000 people in Great Britain were homeless at the start of 2018. We don’t know how many are UK citizens. The population of Iceland at the end of 2018 was around 360,000.
The Gates Foundation has 200,000 shares in Serco.
The Gates Foundation bought 200,000 shares in 2019, bringing its total ownership to 3.74 million shares.
Each month 22 NHS patients with glaucoma unnecessarily lose their sight due to NHS treatment delays.
Glaucoma is the most common main diagnosis for such patients.
Researchers estimate up to 22 patients per month in the UK experience vision deterioration due to health service delays, but not all from glaucoma.
Between 17,000 and 20,000 Royal Navy sailors died fighting illegal slave traders.
Modern and contemporary records of naval deaths are in the low thousands.
While it is true that sailors died as part of British efforts to combat illegal slave trading, it is unlikely to be this high a number.
Having the Covid-19 vaccine eats away at your immune system, and people vaccinated six or eight months ago are dying from the common cold.
There’s no evidence this is the case. The vaccines are effective at preventing severe disease from Covid-19.
The EU budgeted up to €3.9 billion in 2014 for spending that could be used to promote itself.
Business for Britain says that up to €3.9 billion of the 2014 EU budget could have been spent on self-promotion and propaganda. Is this accurate?
The EU did spend money on promoting itself, and some EU publications certainly appear biased. But we can't put a precise figure on "propaganda" spending.
Electrolysis of tap water and distilled water shows that tap water contains something that is dumbing us down.
Tap water in the UK is tested often, and this device doesn’t prove there’s anything wrong with it.
The cup of tap water going green doesn’t prove there’s anything untoward in it. The colour change is likely to be the metal electrodes of the device breaking down, which is only possible in non-distilled water.
The UK’s net EU contribution is larger than 26 EU nations combined (all but Germany).
Technically correct, but this statistic is meaningless. In 2017 the UK’s net contribution to the EU was 18% of all net contributors.
Four in ten fathers will not see their children this Father’s Day due to separation and family breakdown.
Incorrect. Respondents were not asked why they or someone they knew did not see their children on Father’s Day. So it’s incorrect to assume all of these cases are due to separation and family breakdown.
The UK is the best country for education in 2019.
This claim is based on a survey of public perceptions of different educational systems. It is not good data to objectively rank education systems.
This is based on data that measures public perception of different educational systems. It is not good data for objectively ranking education systems. Objective measures suggest the UK has a good public education system, but not the world’s best.
The government will raise the state pension age from 67 to 75 by 2035.
This was recommended in a report the Centre for Social Justice.
This was recommended in a report by the Centre for Social Justice think tank. The Department for Work and Pensions told us it is not government policy to do this.
Any speed over 90mph is an instant ban and possible court order and custodial sentence.
Only a court can impose a driving ban, and whether they decide do depends on the circumstances. Police guidance suggests that speeds over 96mph are likely to result in someone being summoned to court.
Cocaine use in Britain has doubled in the last five years.
There isn’t enough available evidence to say that cocaine use in Britain has doubled, and certainly not that one in 50 Londoners are snorting it.
There isn’t enough available evidence to say this. These figures are based on an analysis of wastewater in parts of London and Bristol, which can’t tell us very much about the picture across Britain.
Under the new withdrawal agreement, the UK can't sign trade deals until at least 2021.
The UK can sign trade deals during the transition period but they wouldn’t be able to come into force until the transition period ends on 31 December 2020.
The charity organisers on JustGiving are called Maytrix. The people who own or set up Maytrix are Captain Tom’s daughter and son in law.
While Captain Tom’s daughter did help him set up his fundraiser, and along with her husband is a director of the Maytrix Group, the company receives no money from the fundraiser.
A book published in 1981 said that in 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness would spread across the world, and calling it “Wuhan-400”.
Read separately, the quotes do not sound much like the new Wuhan coronavirus at all.
These lines are from two different books: one is from a book of predictions by a psychic published in 2008 that predicted a pneumonia-like illness, and “Wuhan-400” is a fictional disease from a sci-fi book published in 1981 that bears little similarity to the new Wuhan coronavirus.
Ketchup, orange squash, tomatoes, strawberries and grapes all deliver positive Covid-19 lateral flow test results.
Some foods can break a lateral flow test and cause a second line to appear. This rarely happens when the tests are used properly, on people.
We know that foods high in acid can break lateral flow tests and cause it to appear “positive”. However, research has shown that they very rarely deliver a false positive result when used properly, on people.
This image shows a heart-shaped honeycomb pattern which was made naturally by bees.
The picture was originally attributed to bees at a National Trust property, but actually seems to come from a beekeeper who partly curated the pattern.
This seems to come from a beekeeper who partly curated the pattern.
mRNA vaccines cause a variable response in amounts of spike protein expressed and therefore some people will produce dangerous amounts and could die, while for others there will be no harm.
There may be variation in the amount of spike protein that different people produce after vaccination. But this does not appear to be an ‘uncontrolled’ amount, and there is no evidence to suggest people have died because of this.
A 5G mast next to a school was removed after four young elementary school students develop cancer.
A mobile phone mast was relocated due to local concerns about school cancer cases. But there is no evidence to suggest the mobile phone mast caused the cancers.
A mobile phone mast was removed from the grounds of an elementary school following local concern over several cases of cancer. However, there is no evidence linking the cancers to the mast. The mast did not use 5G technology.
You cannot catch Covid-19 from your pets.
There is currently no known evidence of Covid-19 being transmitted from pets to humans.
Trussell Trust food bank use has increased by 52% in a year in areas where Universal Credit has been rolled out.
Trussell Trust research shows increases in food bank use in areas where Universal Credit has been rolled out. It’s difficult to measure the extent that one is causing the other.
Correct according to the Trust’s own research. It’s difficult to measure the extent that one is causing the other. There’s wider evidence that people have had problems during the rollout of Universal Credit and that some have been going to food banks as a result.
A study found the risk of a group of patients having a heart attack within five years increased from 11% to 25% after they were given their mRNA Covid-19 vaccine.
It’s been claimed new research shows a link between Covid-19 vaccines and heart attacks. The research has serious flaws.
Serious concerns have been raised as to the quality of the research. Its publisher notes it may contain “potential errors”.
There has been an increase in far-right referrals under the Prevent strategy and in some areas of the country these are outnumbering other referrals.
The Home Office says far right referrals under the Prevent strategy are higher than other types, but the data isn't routinely published so we don't know the exact figures. Across the UK the number of
The Home Office told us that "in some areas of the country, far right referrals under the strategy account for more than other types", but the data isn't routinely published so we don't know the exact figures. Across the UK the number of far right referrals has increased, but it is lower as a proportion of all referrals.
Heathrow Airport is used by people getting off one plane and on another.
An estimated 34% of flyers leaving Heathrow are on a connecting flight, far higher than any other London or UK airport included in the survey.
Tesco wasted 119 million meals last year.
Tesco estimates it produced 59,400 tonnes of food waste last year across all its UK retail operations.
This is true, if you define a meal as 0.5kg of food. It’s likely to equal a very small proportion of the food wasted by Tesco’s customers or across its supply chain.
Fewer knife crime offenders are facing jail.
Claims from Labour about knife crime sentencing aren’t comparing like-with-like.
This is very likely to be wrong. It’s actually likely that more offenders are facing jail for offences involving possession or threatening with a knife. This claim is based on provisional figures which don’t include all cases that will result in jail sentences.
More trade for business — 200,000 UK businesses trade with EU countries and it's home to almost half our exports
HMRC estimated in 2012 that over 200,000 VAT-registered UK businesses trade with other EU countries. 44% of the UK’s exports went to other EU countries in 2014 — this share has been declining since the 2000s.
You can't have the Pfizer vaccine if you're allergic to penicillin.
A post on social media claims that a penicillin allergy can cause a bad reaction to the Pfizer Covid vaccine.
Official advice in the UK is that having penicillin allergies doesn’t rule out having any of the approved Covid-19 vaccines.
A lot of the vaccine ingredients haven’t been tested for their efficacy.
This is false. Efficacy data has been published for all three Covid-19 vaccines approved for use in the UK.
One in four girls or women are in period poverty and are unable to afford sanitary products.
27% of women responding to a survey in Great Britain said they couldn’t afford sanitary products. But it wasn’t designed to be representative and more representative surveys found it's about 1 in 10.
27% of women asked by a survey in England, Scotland and Wales said this was the case. But the survey wasn’t designed to be representative so it can’t tell us about the wider population. Other representative surveys have found the number is around one in ten.
An Iraqi refugee in Austria had his conviction for raping a 10-year-old overturned because he didn’t realise the victim was saying no.
A case in Austria, picked up by Russia's media and president, did see a rape conviction set aside for legal reasons. But there's a lot more to it.
The conviction was set aside by an appeal court, citing concerns about whether force had been used, which is a requirement for a rape conviction in Austria. But a conviction for serious sexual assault of a minor stands, and there will be a re-trial on the rape charge.
The Covid-19 virus has not been isolated as per Koch’s postulates, and this means PCR tests do not work.
Claims that the Covid-19 virus has not been isolated, and therefore tests for it do not work, are unfounded.
This is untrue. Covid-19 has been isolated many times. It does not need to adhere to Koch’s postulates as it is a virus, and Koch’s rules have been widely disregarded now. Covid-19 PCR tests are generally very accurate.
Taxpayers contribute about £4 million to subsidise food at the Houses of Parliament.
Catering services in the Houses of Parliament run at a loss.
Catering services at the Houses of Parliament run at a loss so they are effectively subsidised. When the claim was first made in 2019, the latest data for 2017/18 for this cost was about £3.1 million. In 2020/21, the cost was £9.1 million, mainly due to reduced sales because of Covid-19 lockdowns.
One Kray twin was released on compassionate grounds, and none of the Great Train Robbery convicts served the full 30 years.
People convicted of terrorism related offences can be let out of prison, though they can also be sentenced to life in prison.
An image shows Muslims queueing to get into a mosque, standing closer than two metres apart, after the lockdown was announced.
The photo was taken before the government ordered mosques, churches and other places of worship to close.
The picture was taken the Friday before lockdown measures were announced. Lockdown measures were announced on Monday 23 March, and included places of worship being told to close.
Political parties can’t accept money from people who are not British citizens or businesses.
UK political parties can only accept donations from “permissible donors”. Individuals must be on the electoral register to donate.
Parties can accept money from people on the electoral register - a wider group than just British citizens. Irish, EU and Commonwealth citizens living in the UK can be eligible as well. Generally only UK and Irish businesses can donate.
Antibiotics should be used to fight Covid-19.
Antibiotics are not recommended in patients with Covid-19. Covid-19 is caused by a virus and antibiotics are used to prevent or treat bacterial infections.
Publishing or sharing identifiable pictures of prisoners of war is a breach of the Geneva Convention.
Legal opinion suggests sharing photographs of prisoners of war doesn’t necessarily breach the Convention—but it still may be better not to do so.
The relevant Geneva Convention does not explicitly ban the publication of photographs of prisoners of war. Nor does it apply to people who are not involved in the conflict. But the government and British Red Cross say that such pictures should not usually be published.
A photo shows Jeremy Corbyn with the IRA.
The photo does not show Mr Corbyn with the IRA, but an unnamed man at Bobby Sands’ funeral.
NHS Test and Trace changed its packaging between December 2020 and February 2021 to hide the presence of ethylene oxide.
While the packaging did change this was done to clarify that only testing swabs were sterilised with ethylene oxide. This is still clearly stated on other packaging included with the tests.
More than 80% of UK councils have failed to take in any refugees since 2015.
Reports that over 80% of councils have taken in no Syrian refugees under the main government resettlement programme are correct - up to a point.
Correct in terms of the flagship scheme for resettling Syrian refugees, although the figures don’t cover the past four months. Many more councils have accepted asylum seekers through the regular asylum system.
There are 350,000 homeless British people.
An estimated 320,000 people are homeless in Great Britain, and that figure includes people who aren’t British.
The charity Shelter calculated that an estimated 320,000 people in Great Britain were homeless at the start of 2018. We don’t know what proportion were UK citizens but they certainly weren’t all British.
Our hospitals have a large number of in-patients who are there only because they took the vaccine.
After it broke a contract with Samsung, Argos is now selling microwaves for £1.78.
A Facebook post falsely claims Argos is selling microwaves for £1.78 after it broke a contract with Samsung.
Neither the offer nor the claim about Samsung are genuine, as confirmed by Argos.
Priti Patel spent £77,000 on eyebrows and other beauty products.
The Home Office said the sum was spent on PPE, not beauty products.
This sum was paid to a company selling eyebrow products and services, but the Home Office has said the money was spent on PPE. The company in question does also sell PPE.
Spending on adult social care has been given a £2 billion boost.
Councils were given an extra £2 billion in the Spring Budget 2017. But they might use it to free up funding for other services.
Whether adult social care funding goes up or down depends on how councils use that funding boost. They could put it all into adult social care. Or they might use some of it to free up money for other services.
If all the other lockdowns haven’t worked, why would this one be any different?
False. The government estimates locking down in the spring saved thousands of lives compared with doing nothing.
The Italian Prime Minister has said his country has exhausted all options to fight against the coronavirus pandemic and pleads to God to “rescue your people.”
The Italian Prime Minister has not said his country has exhausted all options to fight against the new coronavirus pandemic and has not pleaded with God to “rescue your people.” This quote is made up.
Coronavirus killed 9 people out of 66.6 million yesterday.
This was the death toll on 9 September, but it has risen since then. At its peak, more than 1,000 people were dying daily in the UK.
At the 2019 Labour conference, the union flag was banned.
Over 55,000 deaths have been caused by the Covid-19 vaccines.
There seems to be no evidence for this claim, and reports of adverse events from the Yellow Card Scheme and VAERS make clear that reported reactions are not necessarily the result of the vaccine.
The government has put 12 billion more into the NHS than in 2010 under Labour. The government has also promised another 6 billion for the NHS.
Spending on NHS England increased by £12.7 billion between 2009/10 and 2017/18, taking inflation into account. The government has said it will spend an additional £6.3 billion up to 2022/23, though that’s in cash terms.
You can save someone’s life if they’re having a stroke using a needle. If someone is having a stroke, sterilise a needle then use it to prick the tips of all 10 fingers of that person. After their fingers start to bleed, prick the soft parts of their ear. Then send them to a hospital.
If you think someone is having a stroke, it’s vital you call 999 as soon as possible.
You absolutely should not do this. If you suspect someone is having a stroke, call 999.
One in 10 children aged between five and 16 have a mental health problem.
According to a 2004 survey for the Department of Health one in 10 children have a mental disorder. More up-to-date research is to be published in 2018.
This is correct according to a survey conducted in 2004. More up-to-date research is due to be published in 2018.
Greece has said it will collapse when we leave the EU.
The pound is now undervalued, based on the IMF’s recommendations in February and June 2016.
It’s correct that the IMF has said that in 2015 the pound was overvalued by between 5 and 20%. But it’s open to debate whether it’s undervalued right now.
This is uncertain. When IMF said the pound was overvalued, they based their recommendations on the assumption that the UK would vote to remain in the EU. It's open to debate what value the pound should be at now that we've voted to leave.
Local authority budgets have been cut by 40% since 2010.
Have local authority budgets have been cut by 40% since 2010?
This is roughly the reduction in the money English local authorities get from central government, since 2010. Overall, their budgets are 26% lower, because they also raise money locally.
One in 50 Londoners snorts cocaine on a daily basis.
There isn’t enough available evidence to say this and we don’t know enough detail about the methodology behind this claim to assess its accuracy.
Theresa May claimed expenses for her full gas bill and full cell phone bills.
Between 2005 and 2008 Mrs May made a number of office expense claims for sim-card hire and the purchase of a mobile phone. She also made claims for utilities bills on her second home.
800,000 people pay a higher tax rate than someone who earns £1m.
Marginal tax rates can be very high for both high and low earners.
Some people do pay higher tax rates than those earning £1m, but only when their income rises between certain amounts. The estimate of 800,000 people affected only applies to relatively high earners, but marginal tax rates affect low earners too.
Our railways cost 40% more to run than others in Europe.
Research carried out for the government a few years ago is the source for Andy Burnham's claim that our railways cost 40% more to run than others in Europe.
Research carried out for the government has shown a 40% cost-efficiency gap between Britain and four European nations. But it's now quite dead.
The UK government no longer considers Covid-19 to be a “high consequence infectious disease”.
The new coronavirus can cause many thousands of deaths even though Covid-19 is no longer considered a “high consequence infectious disease”.
This is true, because it no longer meets the criteria for an HCID. This doesn’t mean that it is no longer considered dangerous.
Pay rises have been fastest for people at the bottom because of the new National Living Wage.
The National Living Wage has increased earnings, but there’s more to inequality trends than just changes to wages.
Earnings have increased faster for people on lower incomes in recent years, although the National Living Wage doesn’t target those at the very bottom.
The proportion of BAME young offenders in custody rose from 25% to 41% between 2006 and 2016.
People who receive the NHS Covid-19 vaccination card must keep it with them all the time.
This is not true. People are not required to carry the card.
Labour would borrow one trillion to cover their promises.
The claim that Labour's manifesto promises would cost a trillion pounds is not a fully costed estimate, and we don't know if it refers to spending increases or total spending.
The original claim is actually that Labour would spend (not borrow) a trillion pounds to cover their manifesto commitments. The figure hasn't been confirmed, and we don't know what time period it covers, and whether it refers to spending increases compared to now, or total spending.
A photograph shows a weasel on the back of a woodpecker in flight.
A famous wildlife image has returned, and appears to be genuine.
Graphene oxide in the Covid-19 vaccines helps these parasites grow faster.
Claims that the vaccines contain a parasite normally found in fish eggs are completely untrue.
Per pupil spending is falling in real terms.
Correct. It’s expected to fall in real terms over this parliament according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies and National Audit Office.
One in four doctors and one in six nurses is an immigrant.
£6.3 billion has been cut from social care.
A survey of councils providing social care in England said they reported or planned to make savings of £6.3 billion on adult social care services between 2010 and the end of 2017/18. Over this time spending on adult social care by councils has fallen by £1.3 billion in real terms.
The MHRA put out a tender for Artificial Intelligence (AI) to handle reports of adverse Covid-19 vaccine reactions.
This is true. In November 2020 it was reported that GenPact, a professional services firm, had been awarded a £1.5m contract to build an AI tool that could process “the expected high volume” of reports of adverse reactions occurring after, though not necessarily caused by, Covid-19 vaccination.
There is grotesque inequality in the UK.
It's up to you what you count as grotesque, and there are a lot of different ways to measure and illustrate inequality.
Many immigrants who speak no English arrived in the UK as grandparents.
It’s true that older immigrants make up a disproportionate number of those who have no English, although they’re still in a minority. About 25% of migrants who can’t speak any English arrived after they turned 50.
Nearly a quarter of all researchers and a quarter of all clinicians at Great Ormond Street hospital are from other EU countries.
23% of doctors and 17% of all doctors and nurses at Great Ormond Street hospital reported they were from the EU in 2015.
23% of doctors and 17% of all doctors and nurses at Great Ormond Street reported they were from the EU in 2015. We’re still trying to track down the figures on researchers.
Families could suffer a £2,000-a-year average hit from the cost of living crisis.
Its estimate combined various price rises and the fall in real wages. But this effectively counts some rising prices twice.
This figure is based on a calculation which overstates the impact of inflation, by factoring in both how much prices will rise and how much ‘real wages’—which already allow for inflation—will fall.
The government will fall short of its ambition to recover £500 million a year from overseas patients next year.
The government has an “ambition” to recover £500 million a year by 2017/18 from overseas patients not eligible for free NHS treatment.
The government has an ambition to recover £500 million a year by 2017/18 from overseas patients not eligible for free NHS treatment in England. But it has estimated that the NHS will actually charge about £346 million that year.
Suicide is the cause of death for around 3,000 people per day
Suicide is the cause of death for around 2,000 people per day.
The fatality rate in Scotland is 13.9%, the same as in Italy.
This is the fatality rate of cases of Covid-19 confirmed by NHS labs in Scotland, which is about the same in Italy.
There are 5,000 fewer mental health nurses since 2010.
There are 5,000 fewer mental health nurses since 2010, using a broader definition of mental health nurses used by NHS Digital, there are 7,000 fewer.
This is correct looking just at mental health nurses and excluding those who work in learning disabilities. NHS Digital, which publishes the figures, uses a broader definition of mental health nurse that includes both groups. Looking at both of these the number of nurses has decreased by around 7,000 since 2010.
A facemask is not going to save you from a virus and they can cause pneumonia.
The guidance has changed throughout the pandemic, however current thinking is that face masks can play a useful role in preventing the spread of Covid-19. There is no evidence to suggest that they cause pneumonia.
Today's budget increases total departmental spending over this Parliament by £150 billion. That’s the largest increase this century, with spending growing by 3.8% a year in real terms.
The Chancellor announced departmental spending during this Parliament would increase by the largest amount this century. Our calculations show spending increased more each year from 2001-2005.
Departmental budgets (which cover about half of all public spending) are forecast to increase by more over this parliament, in real terms, than any other parliament this century. But they increased more on average each year during the 2001-2005 parliament.
Nine regions voted to leave and three voted to remain in the EU referendum.
Bumblebees have been recently listed as endangered.
A Facebook post wrongly suggests that all bumblebees are endangered.
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species, there are 13 species of either endangered or critically endangered bumblebee. None of the species recorded in the UK are classified as endangered by the IUCN.
Correct. The number of people living with a diagnosed case of diabetes has almost doubled since 1998, according to Diabetes UK. We’ve asked it for more information on its figures.
Angela Rayner claimed tuition fees were £1,000 under Labour and that Labour didn’t triple them. Labour tripled tuition fees from £1,000 to £3,000 in 2006.
Incorrect. Labour tripled fees from £1,000 per year to £3,000 per year in 2006 in England and Northern Ireland and in Wales the following year.
A picture shows the world's oldest living land animal, a tortoise named Jonathan.
The tortoise in the post was actually in his 50s when pictured.
It is true that the oldest known land animal is a tortoise named Jonathan, but this is a picture of a different tortoise.
1% of the population owns 50% of the wealth of the country
Even though it’s tricky to estimate what people own, especially the very rich, the claim that 1% of the UK population own 50% of its wealth isn’t supported by the estimates we’ve seen.
That seems likely to be an overestimate. It may be a reference to estimates for the whole world rather than just the UK.
The new conditionality requirements for lone parents under Universal Credit will have a hugely disproportionate impact on women.
Since April 2017, the “lead parent” of a child has been required to work, or be looking for work, for up to 16 hours a week once the child turns three. Some research suggests this could be more challenging for single parents—the vast majority of whom are women.
Households can still meet with another household in a pub, bar or restaurant, up to six people from a number of households can meet outside, social distancing hasn’t changed, and businesses like gyms and hotels can remain open.
You cannot socialise with people outside your household in pubs, bars or restaurants, in Greater Manchester and parts of Lancashire and West Yorkshire as of 31 July 2020. Up to six people can meet outside from a number of households and social distancing hasn’t changed. Gyms and other indoor sporting facilities in Bradford must also close.
In March 2020, the Home Office paid over £77,000 to an eyebrow threading company that was dissolved in 2018.
Clue: it wasn’t really on eyebrows, it was on PPE.
The Home Office has said the money was spent on PPE. One of the companies paid, called “Beautiful Brows”, is dissolved. However, a website of the same name, which sells PPE, is operated by another company which is still active.
57% of Clinical Commissing Groups plan to reduce their spending on mental health services
Correct, as best we know. 57% of Clinical Commissioning Groups that responded to an FOI request said they planned to reduce their spending this year. 128 out of 211 CCGS had responded to the request when this statistic was published.
Research in England involving giving children the Covid-19 vaccine has been stopped due to cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in those children.
The study was giving the Covid-19 vaccine to children aged between six and 17, not infants.
A trial in children aged 6-17 has paused new vaccinations as a precaution, but no child involved died. It’s been paused subject to discussions between researchers at MHRA about the possible link between the AstraZeneca vaccine and very rare blood clots in adults.
The UK’s gig economy workforce has doubled since 2016.
A TUC report found that the gig economy has doubled since 2016, but its claim that this means more UK workers are patching a living together is unproven.
Correct, although there is no fixed definition of the gig economy. This is looking at “platform work”—jobs that are found via a website or app and accessed using a laptop, smartphone or other internet-connected device.
The tests conducted at the 199 testing centres, as well as the mobile test centres, are all done within 24 hours.
The PM claimed all tests at regional sites and mobile units were processed within 24 hours. New data shows, at the time, only 19% and 5% of tests respectively were processed within 24 hours.
Incorrect. When this was said, on 3 June, 19% of tests at regional testing sites and 5% of tests at mobile test centres were done within 24 hours.
We looked at the change in the number of nurses working for the NHS since May 2010.
The Department of Health says this figure comes from Health Education England. We’ve asked them for more information.
The BBC receives £5 billion of public money.
It’s not just funded by the licence fee or public money as the Sun suggested. Around 30% is from commercial operations.
This is the BBC’s total income, not just that from the licence fee (£3.5 billion) or public money. Much of the rest is generated from its commercial operations.
One in six asylum seekers didn’t meet with border officials and have vanished.
Home Office data makes it unclear exactly what it means to have an asylum application “on hold”.
Almost 12,000 asylum seekers, or around one in six, are listed as having their case “On Hold” but the Home Office says this includes people who missed a first asylum interview and attended later, rather than vanishing. Its data doesn’t make this clear.
A photo shows an EU police force which is coming to the UK.
The EU is not rolling out its own police force in the UK as part of its PESCO strategy.
The photo is of Peruvian police officers. There is no current policy for an EU police force.
A film from 1956 predicted the Covid-19 pandemic
The video is modern and was made after the pandemic began.
The video is not from 1956, it’s from February 2020.
Boris Johnson said he wishes he’d been born in the middle ages when he could behead peasants and have sex with a “stable boy”.
A Facebook post claimed Boris Johnson said he’d like to live in the middle ages so he could behead “smelly peasants”.
There is no evidence Boris Johnson said this. There is no record or archive of this quote beyond non-attributable Facebook and Twitter posts.
The Duke of Cambridge said there are “too many people on earth”.
Agenda 21 is a sustainable development plan published by the UN in 1992, not a “global depopulation plan”.
This is untrue. While Prince William has, in the past, made comments about human populations in the context of wildlife conservation, Full Fact could find no record of him publicly saying there are “too many people on earth”.
One in six secondary schools are at or over capacity.
15% of state-funded secondary schools in England were at or over capacity in 2014—one in seven.
The vast majority of the public strongly objects to the government’s plan to pay £39 billion to Brussels.
A poll found that 75% of respondents said paying an EU exit fee of up to £40 billion was unacceptable. But responses to these questions depend on how the question is framed.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revoked a PCR Covid-19 test.
The FDA recalled one brand of lateral flow tests earlier this year, but claims that PCR tests have been revoked by the agency are untrue.
This is not true. The CDC has withdrawn a request for emergency authorisation for one type of PCR test, but not because of any fault. The FDA has recalled one brand of lateral flow test.
Boris Johnson has said that climate change is a primitive fear without foundation.
Mr Johnson did not say that climate change in general is a primitive fear without foundation, but has expressed views sceptical of the scale of the human impact on the climate.
Five helicopters are going to spray the air with disinfectant overnight in order to combat the new coronavirus
Fake advice that five helicopters are about spray the streets with disinfectant has spread all over the world
This is a false rumour that has spread all over the world.
The number of registered nurses in the UK fell by 1,783 to 690,773 in the year to March 2017.
Correct, according to figures from the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
26% of doctors in England (excluding GPs) were nationalities other than British as of September 2017. The latest figure is 27% (September 2018). We don’t know where they were born as this data isn’t collected.
Only 4% of non-EU goods get checked by the UK and only one per cent by Ireland.
We look at the volume of trade across the Irish border.
Correct for the UK. The best evidence we’ve seen for Ireland is that it was 6% in 2016.
The Coalition's original debt target has been met.
The government is now on course to meet its original debt target, with net debt as a share of GDP falling in 2015-16. What's changed since December?
It has, but the IFS says this is "not a genuine reduction in government indebtedness". The fall in 2015/16 is only because the government is selling assts.
Angela Merkel, Theresa May and the Lithuanian President were pictured together at a party in their youth.
An image of Angela Merkel as a teenager with friends does not also show Theresa May and the Lithuanian President,
We get less than half of this back and have no control over how it’s spent.
Based on the money actually paid to the EU less than half comes back as funding in the UK, which is ultimately controlled at EU level and mainly spent on farmers and poorer areas.
A seven-year-old boy called Lachlan Leary died from the Covid-19 vaccine in Sydney.
A Facebook comment about the seven-year-old boy has been shared thousands of times online.
There is no evidence to suggest this is true. Official sources have denied the claims, and Full Fact could find no trace of the story reported via reputable news outlets.
A 5G test in the Netherlands resulted in the death of 297 birds.
Almost 300 starlings were found dead in a park in The Hague but no 5G tests were going on at the time.
Almost 300 starlings were found dead in a park in the Hague in October 2018. There were no 5G tests in The Hague in October 2018. Mass starling death is not unheard of.
Only hundreds, not thousands, of people have died of Covid without any other pre-existing condition mentioned on their death certificate.
Incorrect. There were 15,883 deaths recorded with no pre-existing condition in England and Wales alone, up to the end of March 2021.
The working week in Germany is 28 hours.
This is only for some workers. In 2018, Germany’s largest trade union won a two-year deal for its 900,000 members to work a 28-hour week. German employees can work up to 40 hours a week. If they work longer than this, they must be compensated through additional holiday.
Extending the grace period for the proposed early closure of the Renewables Obligation to onshore wind to include projects with planning applications in place, could mean funding being given to a further 7.1 gigawatts of projects.
The government wants to close the Renewables Obligation to onshore wind a year early. How much capacity would miss out on its proposed grace period?
Only 0.2 of the 7.1 gigawatts would be expected to qualify for the funding in the government's best estimate.
In 1983, US children got 10 vaccines and the autism rate was 1 in 10,000.
We don’t know exactly how prevalent autism was in 1983. There were around five vaccines involving 11 doses recommended for children in the US back then.
81,000 people are being tested in the UK every day.
This figure is too low, although we don’t know by how much. It refers to people “newly” tested in England only. People who have been tested before may not appear in this figure.
The Brexit Secretary said this week he has done no analytical work to assess the economic impact of failing to reach a deal with the EU over trade arrangements after Brexit.
A comprehensive forecast hasn’t been produced. The Brexit Secretary says the government has to decide its plan for mitigation before such a forecast can be produced.
The Brexit Secretary said this week the government has not done any further forecasts of the economic impact of a ‘no deal’ situation since the EU referendum. He said the government needs to fully plan for failed negotiations (which he said it is in the process of doing) before it can make such a forecast.
Four times as many black people are being detained as white people.
If you're black, you're about four times as likely to be detained than if you're white. Overall, more white people are detained, since they make up a larger portion of the population.
The number of frontline prison officers has fallen over the last year.
Correct. There has been a fall of a few hundred officers, with the exact number depending on how you define the frontline.
There are nearly 5,000 more nurses and midwives now than there were in 2010.
This isn’t a fair comparison. The most recent comparable figures show the increase was more than that: about 6,000 more FTE nurses, health visitors and midwives between September 2010 and 2016.
The government are putting £34 billion into the NHS, the biggest ever cash injection.
This is the spending increase between 2018/19 and 2023/24 in cash terms, but that’s not the most meaningful way to look at it. In real terms it’s a spending increase of £20.5 billion and that’s not a record level.
At least 133 children have died of Covid-19 in the UK.
An estimate of at least 133 deaths includes 18- and 19-year-olds, and some which may have had a different underlying cause.
This figure is the number of deaths in England following a positive Covid-19 test in people aged under 20. The number of deaths that we know were caused by Covid in people aged under 18 in England and Wales is 50, although this figure is slightly less recent.
Leaving a customs union isn't the same thing as setting up a border.
It seems reasonable to describe leaving a customs union as setting up a border.
Leaving the EU customs union will involve some sort of border checks on goods entering Britain.
The UK recorded just three deaths from respiratory conditions besides Covid-19 in October 2020.
This is not true. In four weeks of October, 1,239 deaths were recorded just from flu or pneumonia in England and Wales alone.
It is important to take the size and age structure of the population into account.
This is correct, but after accounting for the changing size and age structure of the UK, rates of death have stayed about the same since 2011. This represents a stalling of death rates following decades of falling death rates.
David Davis and Theresa May said on nine separate occasions in the House of Commons that they'd done, or were doing... around 58 sectoral analyses
We have found ten cases where Mr Davis, one of his ministers, or Theresa May referred to or acknowledged the existence of 50+ sectoral analyses or assessments in the House of Commons or at a select committee.
The Mental Health Act will be used to section people who refuse to have the Covid-19 vaccine so they can be forced to have it.
The government is not proposing this. Four legal and ethics academics wrote to the government arguing that this may theoretically be possible.
Theresa May’s Brexit speech saw the pound rise to its highest level in two years.
The pound saw a big one-day rise yesterday, but its value against the US dollar remains low compared to recent years.
This is wrong. The pound saw its biggest one-day rise against the dollar since 2008, but it’s still below the rates it has been at in recent years.
Fluoride was first used by the Nazis to keep prisoners docile and submissive.
There is no evidence that the Nazi Party used fluoride on their prisoners.
The Prime Minister says the number of nurses is up by 3,000 since the last election, while a Labour MP says it's down by 2,500.
It depends who you count, how you count them, and what time period you count from.
Seventeen countries have banned the AstraZeneca vaccine outside of the UK.
Seventeen countries in Europe have temporarily stopped using the Covid-19 vaccine.
This is not the case. At the time of writing, 17 countries in Europe have temporarily stopped giving it out whilst waiting for a review from the European Medicines Agency. They have not “banned” it.
MPs’ salaries rose from £66,000 in 2010 to £79,500 in 2020.
This is correct. Factoring in inflation MP pay has increased by 2%.
Greenwich council is set to remove a memorial stone to Lee Rigby.
Greenwich council have removed a memorial stone to Lee Rigby and replaced it with an official memorial.
When this article was originally written, Greenwich council told us they didn’t have plans to remove the stone. It has since been removed and replaced with an official memorial.
At the 2019 Labour conference, Palestinian flags filled the hall.
Make sure you and your family all dig out your NHS number and have a copy of it immediately to hand for the Covid jab. NHS staff on the front line say this is the biggest bottleneck when it comes to administering the vaccine to as many people as quickly as possible.
A widely shared post on social media claims people who don’t know their NHS number are causing a ‘bottleneck’.
You do not need to have your NHS number with you in order to receive the vaccine. A name and date of birth is all that is required, although some trusts have asked patients to bring their NHS numbers if possible.
You don’t have to be a member of the EU to trade with it. Switzerland is not in the EU, and it exports more per person to the EU than we do.
That’s correct. Switzerland has some access to the EU’s single market. It pays financially for this and takes on certain EU laws.
The EU Court of Justice has decided that obese people are disabled, and so entitled to protection under employment law.
Not correct. The court said that an obese person can be considered disabled, if their ability to work is limited. In itself this isn't a major change.
Diabetes is linked to a quarter of pandemic deaths in England according to NHS statistics.
A quarter of patients who died with Covid-19 in English hospitals had diabetes. But that doesn’t mean that all these deaths were linked to diabetes.
About a quarter of Covid-19 patients who died in England hospital also had diabetes, but this does not mean that diabetes was definitely linked to all these deaths. This cannot be concluded from these NHS statistics.
Wetherspoons is offering a “meal for two with drinks” voucher to celebrate the lifting of Covid restrictions.
A Facebook post falsely claims Wetherspoons is offering a meal and drinks voucher to celebrate pubs fully reopening after lockdown.
It’s not. Wetherspoons has confirmed the offer isn’t genuine.
The rate of extra investment in the NHS has fallen by 68% since 2010.
Correct, although this refers to growth in all UK health spending, rather than just for the NHS. It compares the periods 1955/56 to 2015/16 (when health spending grew by an average of 4% in real terms each year) and 2009/10 to 2015/16 (when it grew by an average of 1.3% a year).
52 free horses need rehoming in Ohio because their owner died of Covid-19.
Similar posts have been circulating online since a genuine appeal in 2011.
They don’t. This is a repost of a genuine appeal from 2011, following the death of a horse owner.
An image shows a parasitic worm in a child’s heart, caught from a dog due to close contact.
This parasitic dog heart worm spreads via mosquito.
Incorrect. The picture is of an infected dog’s heart. The parasite can only be passed from an infected dog to a human via mosquito, not direct contact.
23% of people in Wales lived in a household where the income is below 60% of the UK median between 2013/14 and 2015/16. That’s including housing costs, and is roughly 700,000 people.
This is correct using the relative measure of poverty after housing costs, and absolute poverty after housing costs is similar, estimated at 22%.
A scam is asking people to input the personal details, including bank details, to receive “Covid-19 Relieve.”
This is correct. This is a scam and should not be interacted with.
Indoor and outdoor air pollution claim at least 40,000 UK lives a year.
A new report published today says that around 40,000 deaths are attributable to exposure to outdoor air pollution in the UK every year.
Estimates suggest that every year, the equivalent of 40,000 deaths in the UK are attributable to exposure to outdoor air pollution. Adding deaths attributable to indoor air pollution is thought to increase this figure, but it’s not known exactly by how much. This doesn’t mean that this number of people die prematurely every year because of air pollution, as it’s not the sole cause of deaths.
If we voted to leave the EU that could see prices rise in the short term due to the expectation that the value of the pound would fall. The longer term is more uncertain.
Under this government half a million more disabled people are in work.
Since 2013 the number of disabled people in work has increased by just under half a million. Under the current government the number of disabled people in the UK in work has increased by around 100,00
Since 2013 the number of disabled people in work has increased by just under half a million. Under the current government the number of disabled people in the UK in work has increased by around 100,000 since 2015.
A post on social media has claimed that if a deaf person asks you to remove your mask you are legally required to make an adjustment.
Lowering your mask to assist those who lip-read is allowed, but not legally required.
This is incorrect. You are allowed to lower or remove your mask to assist those who lip-read, but it is not a legal requirement.
Five out of six EU immigrants have indefinite leave to remain in the UK, or will have by the time the UK leaves the EU.
A high proportion of EU citizens in the UK are likely to be entitled to a special status under EU law by the time of Brexit, but it depends on the Government's negotiations with the EU.
This is not fully substantiated by the evidence and will depend on the arrangements we make upon leaving the EU. Whatever happens, EU citizens are not going to be forced to leave en masse.
65% of assessed child refugees coming to the UK were actually adults.
Correct, but most child asylum seekers are not challenged about their age.
Keir Starmer voted against a 2.1% NHS staff pay rise.
Parliament made a commitment to raise the total NHS budget, but did not specify how that money should be spent.
False. There has never been a vote specifically on raising NHS pay by 2.1%. The NHS Funding Bill which committed to minimum total levels of NHS funding was passed unopposed.
Most of the refugees in the EU have come from Syria.
A majority of recently accepted refugees in the EU are Syrian, although they’re not the majority of those applying for refugee status or entering the EU.
That’s correct in terms of people granted refugee status, although Syrians aren’t the majority of migrants crossing the Mediterranean or applying for asylum.
There is no constitutional requirement for a Parliamentary recall or vote before military intervention.
Correct. There’s no legal requirement that parliament is involved in these decisions, the power rests with the Prime Minister, through the Crown.
At least a large part of growth in employment has been driven by an increase in insecure, precarious work.
From the statistics, it doesn’t seem like unwanted part-time work or unsatisfactory temporary work has been the major driver behind the growth in employment.
That doesn’t seem to be the case for the UK jobs market overall. The picture for specific industries, regions and groups might be different and statistics will only ever give a limited insight into questions about job quality.
The UK's Syrian refugee programme is slightly ahead of schedule.
The government has a target to take in 23,000 refugees by 2020 from the Middle East and North Africa.
Roughly correct. Just over 10,000 refugees from the Syrian conflict have come to the UK via a government scheme from September 2015 to December 2017. The target for the scheme is 20,000 by May 2020. Individuals arriving before July 2017 had Humanitarian Protection, rather than refugee status.
The UK bought all the Midazolam France had.
This is false. The Department of Health and Social Care has confirmed that all of the Midazolam stockpiled in the UK for the Covid-19 crisis was sourced within the UK and was produced for the UK market. It appears that this claim is based on reports of some French-label versions of the drug being stockpiled for use in the UK.
Help to Buy ISAs won’t help you with your mortgage deposit.
The Treasury hasn’t backtracked on Help to Buy ISAs, and they don’t just help people who already have the money to buy a house, contrary to some reports.
Several banks have said that they will treat the bonus payments as part of the buyer’s savings when they apply for a mortgage, even though it won’t arrive in their bank account until after the sale is completed.
Abortion is still a crime unless it’s approved by doctors.
MPs have voted to change the law on abortion, as technically criminal prosecutions are possible unless doctors approve a termination.
Correct, although prosecutions are very rare in practice.
The four-hour accident and emergency target has not been hit in over two years.
The four hour A&E target hasn’t been met in England since July 2015, and the last time it was met over a full year was in 2013/14. The target hasn't been met at “major” A&E departments since June 2013
The four hour A&E target hasn’t been met in England since July 2015, and the last time it was met over a full year was in 2013/14. The target hasn't been met at “major” A&E departments since June 2013 and hasn’t been above 95% annually since 2010/11.
Until 2004, immigration was around 50,000 a year and it’s risen since then.
Immigration to the UK rose considerably in 2004, and is now estimated at roughly record levels.
50,000 is wrong, although immigration did increase considerably after 2004 as new countries joined the EU.
The OECD says that important steps have been taken in the UK to improve educational outcomes.
The government gave the police much more use of Tasers to help deal with street crime.
The Home Office announced police in England and Wales can bid for part of a fund to equip their force with more Tasers. Final funding allocations will be announced in February.
The government never committed to taking 3,000 child refugees from Europe under the Dubs Amendment.
The government never officially said that 3,000 child refugees would be accepted under the Dubs Amendment, although some campaigners say they expected that many to arrive.
There was never an official target, although 3,000 was the number mentioned by campaigners, some of whom say they believed that to be the figure. The government only accepted the Dubs Amendment after the 3,000 target was taken out of it.
The number of votes held in the nine months since the general election is lower than after every election won by David Cameron and Tony Blair.
There have been fewer votes in Parliament since the 2017 election than the same period after each election since 1997.
This is correct, based on data from Public Whip. There has been a higher average turnout of MPs to vote since the 2017 election, compared to past elections.
The increase in reported hate crimes after the EU referendum was due to the way the crimes were perceived and reported, not the number of hate crimes actually being committed.
After the referendum, there was a sharp increase in the number of hate crimes that were recorded by the police.
An increased tendency to report hate crime may explain part of the recent surge in hate crimes recorded by the police. It’s a matter of judgement how much.
You no longer have to quarantine if you have returned to England from an exempt country before July 10.
The government has given conflicting advice about who needs to quarantine after travelling home from abroad from 10 July.
Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice
This has been claimed by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office as well as a government minister. However, advice from the Department for Transport on the government’s official website says you must follow the rules that were in place when you arrived in England.
In March 2018 close to 50,000 people were in receipt of these kind of benefits.
Correct, 46,700 were in receipt of either asylum support or were failed asylum seekers receiving support because they were destitute. More recent figures show that total was around 47,500 in September 2018.
The amendment the government rejected would have cost the taxpayer hundreds of billions of pounds to replace the sewage system in order to eliminate sewage discharge.
The amendment itself did not explicitly require sewage discharge to be reduced completely, although its explanatory notes did say this. The amendment called for progressive reduction in harm. Details of the cost of replacing the sewage network are yet to be fully published.
In June 2017 Conservative MPs voted against a pay rise for nurses.
In 2017 the Conservatives voted against a Labour amendment aiming to end the public sector pay rise cap, before ending it themselves anyway for the next financial year.
In June 2017 Conservative MPs voted against a Queen’s speech amendment calling on them to lift a cap on public sector pay rises, but later that year went on to lift the cap anyway. In 2018/19 nurse pay rose by more than the previous cap of 1%, but in some cases will still only have stayed at the same level in real terms.
The government has brought in legislation that allows DNA from Covid-19 tests to be “harvested” and retained.
This legislation is to do with biometric data that is of interest to national security
This is incorrect. This legislation allows the police to retain DNA profiles obtained related to national security and has nothing to do with Covid-19 testing.
Higher education in this country is blindingly white.
In the UK in 2016/17, 74% of UK students in their first year of an undergraduate degree were white. Among 18 year-olds in England, white pupils are the least likely of any ethnic group to take up a place in UK higher education.
Funding for rail companies today is four times what British Rail got in the 1970s and 80s.
How does taxpayer support for privatised rail compare with funding for the old British Rail?
Government support to the rail industry is roughly three times what it was at the end of the 1980s, varying year to year. We haven’t seen earlier figures.
Government policies since 2010 have tended to push down inheritance tax, mainly because of an increased allowance for passing on “the family home”.
The emissions from private jets flying delegates to Glasgow for COP26 are equivalent to Scotland’s entire annual CO2 emissions.
Claims on Twitter seriously misunderstand a headline which equates private jet emissions to the emissions of just 1,600 Scots.
This is false. A headline in the Sunday Mail claimed that the emissions from 400 private jets is equivalent to the annual carbon footprint of Scottish people. The article clarifies that this refers to 1,600 Scots, not the entire country, however this has been taken out of context in a number of cases.
The gender pay gap increases after women become mothers.
There’s evidence that the pay gap increases significantly after parents have children.
Sir John Curtice has said there is absolutely no evidence of a swing in favour of a second referendum.
Not quite right - Professor Curtice has said that there is some evidence of a swing, but that the evidence is not consistent.
Visits to a GP or A&E for self-treatable conditions cost the NHS £850 million a year.
A survey of around 60 GPs found that 6% of appointments could have been dealt with at home or at a pharmacy, but we can’t say if it’s an accurate estimate for all GP appointments.
We have limited evidence on the number of self-treatable appointments, so any cost estimate is fairly rough. How much could be saved by avoiding these appointments depends on whether the number of staff or buildings used could be reduced as a result.
The proposed Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine is 90% effective.
This is accurate according to early results, however, this could change when more results come out.
Going to bed between 10pm and 11pm every night cuts your risk of getting heart disease by up to 25%, according to a new study
The Mail reported that a new study shows going to bed between 10pm and 11pm cuts your risk of heart disease. The study found a link between the two but not causation.
The study did find there was a correlation between going to bed at that time and a lower risk of heart disease. But it didn’t prove that one caused the other, as suggested.
Jeremy Corbyn will cost every British worker £2,400 per year.
You can’t work out the cost of a manifesto which hasn’t been published yet. And it’s flawed to assume all income tax payers have the same tax burden.
This figure is largely meaningless as the calculations and assumptions behind it have a number of flaws.
400,000 women are sexually assaulted in the UK every year.
There is no way of knowing exactly. This figure is probably too low. The latest estimates say 533,000 women aged 16-59 were sexually assaulted in England and Wales in 2015/16.
Violent assaults on police officers have risen by a third in just four years.
The way data is collected was changed in 2017, so it isn’t possible to compare current rates with what they were four years ago. But assaults on officers that resulted in injuries rose by 27% in 2018/19 compared to 2017/18.
Tennis pro Serena Williams wrote a post saying she is “sick of COVID-19” and sick of “black vs. white”.
The post was shared by someone with the same name.
This is incorrect, the post was shared by someone also called Serena Williams, but not the tennis player.
Cutting the distance between people from 2m to 1m might double their risk of catching Covid-19.
Poland has refused to allow mosques to be built until they can build a Christian church in Saudi Arabia.
A similar view has been expressed by a Polish politician but it is not government policy.
Incorrect. This is not Polish government policy.
CCTV footage depicts a woman’s drink being spiked at a bar. She begins to feel dizzy and is led out by the two men who are thought to have spiked her.
A video on social media which shows a woman’s drink being spiked was staged for ‘entertainment purposes’.
The footage isn’t real. It’s a staged performance set up by a social media influencer.
Microsoft and Bill Gates have filed a patent numbered 060606 for a microchip which is inserted into the body and which rewards activity with cryptocurrency.
This patent application appears to be for some sort of wearable activity tracker.
Microsoft's 060606 patent doesn't reference injectable microchips. It is true that Microsoft has a patent application with the numbers 060606 in it, but it's for a system which rewards physical activity with cryptocurrency.
If you drive during Storm Eunice your car insurance will be voided.
Although drivers are advised to avoid travelling during red weather warnings, the Association of British Insurers has said rumours that doing so will void your insurance are not true.
False. Driving during bad weather does not void car insurance, though driving negligently may affect any compensation or payout you receive should you need to make a claim.
Corporation tax rates are higher in the USA than the UK
US corporation tax rates are about 39%, on average according to the OECD, so about twice that paid in the UK.
That’s correct. US companies pay about twice the rate of tax on their profits as UK companies.
Polypodium hydriforme parasites are in the Covid-19 vaccine.
The Covid-19 vaccines do not contain parasites.
1.3 million children will benefit from the government’s u-turn on funding free school meals over the summer holidays.
Mr Starmer said 600,000 more children are in poverty than in 2012, which is correct according to government data on children in low income households.
Correct, this is roughly how many children receive free school meals in England.
Covid-19 vaccines were not tested on animals before they were approved.
All of the vaccines approved for use in the UK were tested on animals.
The Covid-19 vaccines contain graphene oxide.
The nanoparticles used in some of the vaccines are lipid nanoparticles. They are not made of graphene oxide.
The MHRA has told us that none of the Covid-19 vaccines in current use contain graphene oxide.
Many judges at the European Court of Human Rights aren't legally qualified, and are appointed politically.
None of the current judges at the European Court of Human Rights are obviously unqualified, although they are in a sense political appointees.
None of the judges at the Court are obviously unqualified based on their CVs, although they are voted in by a political body.
Pregnant women are 22 times more likely to die from Covid-19 than other women.
The study it describes looked at whether Covid raises the risks associated with pregnancy—not whether pregnancy raises the risks of Covid.
This muddles the results of a study, which in fact found that Covid increases the risk of death in women who are pregnant.
Young people are about twice as likely to suffer from “long Covid” after a coronavirus infection
Younger people and those with milder illness seem less likely to be affected, according to data from the Covid Symptom Study app
This is incorrect, based on the data Mr Hancock mentioned, which suggests that people over 70 have about twice the risk of people under 50.
National Child Mortality Database identified deaths in under 18s increased dramatically in the first lockdown.
This is wrong. The NCMD said there had been a slight increase but the numbers were too small to draw definite conclusions.
A single parent working on the minimum wage and already working full-time would need to work more than nine hours a week on top of that full-time job to earn back the £20 uplift and make up for the rise in National Insurance.
The Conservatives and Labour gave very different figures for how much longer claimants would have to work to offset the end of the £20 uplift
Again this will be true for some Universal Credit recipients, but can’t be applied to everyone.
There are only about 50 large companies that trade across the Irish border.
Incorrect. Roughly 100 large companies (with 250+ employees) in Northern Ireland made export deliveries to the Republic in 2016, making up 11% of deliveries to Ireland. We don’t have data for those exports going to the North from the Republic.
The Labour Party wouldn't have problems with the Irish backstop because it wants the whole of the United Kingdom to be in a permanent customs union with the EU.
Labour’s proposals may avoid a hard border in Ireland, but it seems extremely unlikely that the EU would accept those proposals alongside everything else Labour wants from Brexit.
Labour’s proposed Brexit policy may avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic (removing the need for the Irish backstop) in theory. But it seems extremely unlikely that the EU would accept those proposals alongside everything else Labour wants from Brexit.
There are nearly one million people on zero hours contracts.
Correct. That’s 3% of people in employment.
NHS staff do 11 hours a week unpaid overtime on average.
NHS staff survey data suggests the average respondent in 2019 worked around two hours unpaid overtime. Even this should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Incorrect. The NHS staff survey suggests NHS staff in England do around two hours unpaid overtime on average, but even this figure should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Migration has amounted to 80% of UK population growth.
Migration to and from the UK has directly accounted for about 60% of UK population growth since the turn of the century, or higher if you try to count the children of immigrant parents as well.
This combines a rough estimate of both migration to and from the UK and children born to immigrant parents. Without counting children, migration directly accounts for 60% of UK population growth since 2000.
Spain’s national debt is worth €1.2 trillion.
The number of EU nationals leaving the NHS jumped by 14% in 2017.
That’s correct for staff in England, comparing the number who left in 2016 with the number who left in 2017.
The government is bringing in a law that means unlicensed, untested vaccines can be given to people and no one is liable if they go wrong.
A government consultation about unlicensed vaccines has been misunderstood online.
This is not correct. The government was holding a consultation on whether it should change rules around unlicensed vaccines. Unlicensed is not the same as untested, and the manufacturer would still be liable if the product didn’t meet safety standards or is defective. Any vaccine given to the public will have to go through several stages of testing, regardless of this consultation.
We already turn around 90% of tests within 48 hours.
Test times covering early June when the claim was made are only available for around half of antigen tests. That means we can’t say whether or not this is accurate.
Only 8% of schools have received air monitors that were promised by the government.
The Observer has reported that only 8% of schools have received CO2 monitors, based on a meaningless Twitter poll.
This data comes from a Twitter poll which means it is meaningless, as we can’t be sure who answered it or whether they were representative of schools.
Wuhan was one of the first places with 5G trials, as well as several other large Chinese cities, like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou but we don’t know if it was the first.
Japan stopped its vaccine rollout, treated people with ivermectin and ended Covid-19 almost overnight.
The false claim has spread on social media, after appearing on the website of the Hal Turner Radio Show
This is false. Japan is continuing its vaccine rollout. Ivermectin is not an approved treatment for Covid-19 in the country.
In 2017 Labour said a 2.2% increase in NHS funding would make it the envy of the world.
Labour’s 2017 manifesto pledged roughly 2.2% annual funding increases for the NHS in England for the rest of the decade. In the same manifesto they said they wanted to “restore the NHS to its place as the envy of the world”. They didn’t directly connect this to their specific pledges.
The UK has the lowest unemployment since 1975.
Unemployment in the UK was at 4.3% between May and July 2017.
Correct. It was at 4.3% between May and July 2017.
All the Covid-19 vaccines being used in the UK have been safety tested and approved for use by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
You’re just as likely to be hit in your home by a plane falling out of the sky.
This probability appears to have been calculated by an academic in the US in 1997 so won’t accurately represent the risk to a UK citizen in 2021.
Cyclists should cycle in the centre of the lane.
This is true for quiet roads, but on busy roads they should stay at least 0.5 metres from the kerb.
Covid-19 vaccines have been through a number of clinical trials which have shown their benefits “far outweigh any currently known side effects.”
Tests by a campaign group and a research scientist/consultant claimed to have detected glyphosate in some vaccines in the US, but the reliability of these tests have been called into question.
Studies suggest recently-arrived EU immigrants contribute more to the public finances than they receive, although the effect is small.
The government advice is not to challenge someone who is not wearing a face covering.
It has been claimed on social media that challenging someone who is not wearing a face covering could result in a fine.
The government says members of the public should not challenge people for not wearing a face covering, but people who work in premises where face coverings are required can. They should be “mindful and respectful” of those who are exempt.
The EU referendum outcome is "on a knife edge".
Online polls conducted this week show preferences for the EU referendum vote are neck and neck while telephone polls have found a strong lead for 'remain'.
This is uncertain. While two polls have shown a narrow gap between the 'remain' and 'leave' camps, others have shown significant gaps between the two. Different methods give different results, with telephone polls showing 'remain' with a strong lead and online polls showing a more narrow gap.
Rapper DMX had a Covid-19 vaccine days before he died of a heart attack.
There is no evidence that rapper DMX had a Covid-19 vaccine before he died of a heart attack.
There’s no evidence DMX had a Covid-19 vaccine just before his heart attack and no evidence that Covid-19 vaccines cause heart attacks.
That was a newly qualified paramedic’s salary in 2016. It’s now £25,655 outside of London.
If we leave the EU on WTO terms, Article 24 of the World Trade Organisation would allow the UK and EU to maintain zero tariffs for up to 10 years while negotiating a new deal with the EU.
Article 24 of the WTO’s GATT allows countries negotiating a free-trade area or customs union to have an "interim" agreement in place if they have a “plan and schedule” agreed for concluding a deal.
This is very unlikely in practice. This refers to Article 24 of the WTO’s General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. It allows countries who are negotiating a free-trade area or customs union to have an interim agreement on trade tariffs for a period of (in most cases) up to ten years provided they have a “plan and schedule” agreed for concluding a final deal. It’s unlikely we could have such a “plan and schedule” in place with the EU before we leave.
Lockdown and the tier systems are deadlier than Covid-19.
There is no evidence to suggest this is true. Official estimates suggest that the lockdown in the spring of 2020 saved many thousands of lives.
An asteroid bigger than Big Ben is due to crash into the Earth’s atmosphere on 11 January.
The closest the asteroid in question will come to the Earth’s surface is 3.5 million miles away.
This is not true. It’s expected to come within 3.5 million miles of the Earth’s surface, far beyond the reaches of our atmosphere.
McDonald’s uses mechanically separated chicken.
Mechanically separated chicken is obtained when unboned chicken is forced through a sieve to separate meat from bone. McDonald’s makes its nuggets with ground chicken not prepared in this way.
Deaths in fires increased by 20% last year.
Although interim leader Nigel Farage has said he wants to move to an insurance-based NHS in the past he has now said he wants it to be free for all British nationals. The UKIP 2015 manifesto also says
In its 2015 manifesto UKIP said that it wants to keep the NHS free at the point of delivery. Nigel Farage has suggested introducing an insurance-based model of healthcare in the past, but has since said that UKIP wants it to be free for British nationals and funded through general taxation.
Over the last ten years half a million fewer men than women have been accepted to university.
Between 2007 and 2016 half a million fewer men than women living in the UK have been accepted to UK universities.
This is true for students living in the UK when they applied, for all students accepted to UK universities since 2007 the difference is a little over half a million.
Masks do more harm than good and they’re considered ineffective by surgeons.
There are rare instances of harm caused by tight-fitting masks but not ordinary masks. While the efficacy of masks in surgery is debated there is some evidence of their benefit.
A photo shows thousands of Europeans fleeing to North Africa during the Second World War.
A picture on Facebook misidentifies a 1991 picture as one taken during the Second World War.
This is not true. The picture was actually taken in 1991, and shows Albanian people boarding a ship bound for Italy after the collapse of the Communist regime.
More than a third of Covid-19 deaths had diabetes.
This is incorrect. NHS data shows that of Covid-19 patients who died in hospital in England just over a quarter had diabetes.
The National Health Institute in Italy has recalculated the Covid-19 death toll from 130,468 down to 3,783 directly due to Covid-19, or 2.9% of the total.
Contrary to various online claims, the Italian health authority has done nothing of the sort.
Incorrect. Research from the Italian health authorities looking at a sample of around 8,000 people who’d died in hospital with Covid-19 found 2.9% didn’t have any previous underlying conditions, not that they didn’t die of Covid-19.
Cuts to tax credits will cost low-paid working families £1,300 a year.
Jeremy Corbyn has said upcoming changes to tax credits will cost working families £1,300 next year. We've taken a look at how that figure was arrived at.
£1,300 is a "rough" estimate of the average reduction in income next year (2016/17).
A video seems to claim starch is harmful.
Incorrect, starch is a naturally occurring carbohydrate and forms part of our everyday diet.
A letter from a consultant at a hospital in Surrey claims that hospitals are empty and that there is no pandemic.
Claims about hospital attendance figures, death certificates, and empty ambulances are all false.
There are numerous inconsistencies in the letter which suggest it is not from someone working at a hospital in Surrey.
There's no evidence there is a Covid-19 virus. The illusion of it has been manifested by using a fake test and fraudulent death certificates.
Covid-19 and SARS-CoV-2 are well recognised, and there is no evidence that midazolam has been used as part of a euthanasia policy designed to kill Covid-19 patients.
Covid-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This has been proven using laboratory testing and seen through medical imaging. Covid-19 tests can accurately detect current or recent Covid-19 infection, and the cause of death on a death certificate is recorded by a doctor. There’s no evidence that these have been falsified.
People have to pay the NHS for delivery of a new Omicron-specific Covid-19 test.
There is no Omicron-specific PCR test and the NHS has confirmed the email is a scam.
The NHS have confirmed this is a scam. There is no Omicron-specific PCR test.
When we joined the EU, there were 9 member states.
There were 9 member states when we joined.
Just 748.6 people per 100,000 died in England in May.
The article confuses an annual death rate with a monthly death rate.
False. If May’s death rate was replicated over the course of a year, then 748.6 people per 100,000 would die. But about a twelfth as many people died in May alone.
Bill Gates has bought messaging service Telegram.
Instagram post falsely claims Bill Gates has bought the messaging app Telegram.
Neither Bill Gates nor the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have bought Telegram.
Shaking your duvet, climate change, energy drinks, shovelling snow and your electric bill can all reportedly cause heart attacks in 2022.
A list of things that can cause heart attacks “in 2022” includes one fake article and another from 2010.
The article claiming shaking your duvet can risk heart attacks is fake. The one about climate change is from 2010. The one about energy drinks does not prove energy drinks cause heart attacks. The last two are based on claims made by doctors.
Ipsos MORI translates to ‘they die’ in Latin.
Not really. This is what online translators translate 'Ipsos mori' to, but in reality it is garbled ungrammatical Latin. Ipsos MORI says its name doesn’t mean anything.
A video of a plane being shot at shows the fighting in Ukraine.
The developers of Arma 3 confirmed that the footage came from a modified version of their game.
This is footage from a video game, as confirmed by the game’s developers.
There were 14 deaths in children aged 12 to 17 who had the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
14 deaths were reported in the US after the Pfizer vaccine but the CDC concluded none were caused by the vaccine.
A new YouGov poll shows 62% of people think that Brexit is a bad thing.
The Daily Mirror claimed a new poll shows that 62% think Britain was wrong to leave the EU.
Incorrect. The poll shows that 50% of GB adults think Britain was wrong to leave the EU, and a further 12% don’t know.
A sticker by Extinction Rebellion says driving a car makes you a Nazi.
This has been done by another group who make materials in the style of the climate activists.
This is not an official Extinction Rebellion sticker.
The EU budget will be up 6.9% in 2016, throwing off the Prime Minister's promise to have secured a 3% cut.
Claims that EU budget commitments are rising, blowing the Prime Minister's budget cut promise off course, are inaccurate.
EU budget spending commitments will be lower in 2016 than in 2015, and the 3% cut referred to by the Prime Minister was to spending limits over seven years, not spending in any particular year.
1.9 million more children are in good and outstanding schools.
The claim there are 1.9 million more children in good and outstanding schools since 2010 is technically accurate, but it doesn’t factor in increasing pupil numbers or changing inspection practices.
This doesn’t acknowledge that there were 630,000 more pupils in state-funded schools in England in 2018 compared to 2010. We also don’t know how a lot of schools rated good or outstanding are doing today, as many haven’t been re-inspected for several years. Evidence from recent Ofsted inspections suggest some may now lose their high ratings.
There is only a 0.26% chance of catching Covid-19.
NASA says it is so small it would burn up in the atmosphere.
Incorrect. The US CDC published figures suggesting the chance of dying from Covid-19 after being infected was 0.26% and has since updated these figures. The chance of catching Covid-19 is much higher than that in many countries, including the UK.
There is a toy for children called “my first vape”.
The mocked up packaging was produced by a Twitter account previously behind a children’s ‘Happy Hour Playset’.
Homelessness reached its peak in 2008 under the last Labour government. Since then it’s down by almost a half.
Statutory homelessness increased by 39% between 2010 and 2017 (more recent data isn’t comparable). Rough sleeping is also up by 165%.
We’re not aware of any data showing this. Statutory homelessness in England fell between 2003 and 2009. It has risen around 39% since then.
More than a quarter of all evening meals in the UK are vegan or vegetarian, research shows.
A range of surveys suggest 2-3% of the UK is vegetarian, and household consumption of meat has fallen in recent years.
An estimated 29% of evening meals contained no meat or fish in 2017, according to market research designed to be representative of Britain. We don’t know how many evening meals were vegan, though.
A picture shows trees that have been cut down before 5G is launched.
The picture is of felled trees in Serbia, as part of redevelopment works, which are due to be replaced by new trees. There’s no evidence this had anything to do with 5G.
Since 2015, the UK has resettled more refugees than any other country in Europe.
It’s true that the UK has resettled the highest number of refugees since 2015, compared to other European countries.
This is true, but “resettlement” only applies to a small percentage of the number of refugees a country might accept. Other countries in Europe have accepted far more people for protection as a whole than the UK.
Being vegan for a year saves 1,000 square metres of forest.
It is unclear where this figure comes from.
Researchers at the Erasmus Medical Center claim to have found an antibody against coronavirus.
Researchers in the Netherlands have released research, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, on an antibody against the new coronavirus.
Since 2001 Westminster has returned £447.5 billion to Scotland.
It is hard to say for certain. Since 2001/02 the Scottish government, local authorities and public corporations have spent £643 billion which was not retained in Scotland. Most of this would have come back from the UK government in the form of the block grant.
The Liberal Democrats were the first mainstream party to call for an in/out referendum on the UK’s EU membership.
Correct to the best of our knowledge. The Liberal Democrats campaigned for this from at least 2007.
Unemployment is the lowest it has been since 1975.
This is correct, as a percentage of all adults either working or looking for a job across the UK.
This is correct looking at unemployed people as a percentage of all adults either working or looking for a job across the UK.
Because of inflation, pay rises for public sector workers are actually pay cuts.
The recently announced pay rises are either above or slightly below inflation forecasts. These don’t cover all public sector workers.
This is effectively correct for some workers (in the police force and some doctors, dentists and teachers) and incorrect for others like those in the armed forces, prison officers, and other teachers, doctors and dentists.
The percentage of state school students applying to university has fallen.
UCAS don't publish figures on this. The figures we do have may be affected by local authority led schools becoming academies.
Contact tracers have been told not to trace contacts of Covid-19 cases connected to educational settings.
Single Covid-19 cases in educational settings are being traced centrally, instead of by local teams
This is incorrect. Contact tracers have been told to not escalate these cases to local health teams, but their contacts will still be traced nationally.
Independent experts from the Committee on Climate Change have said that a new runway at Heathrow can be delivered within the targets for greenhouse gas emissions.
The Committee on Climate Change has said that the government can meet its emissions targets and build a third runway at Heathrow, but only if strict criteria are followed. The Committee also called on
The Committee called on the government to publish a strategy for how emissions targets would be achieved, in light of planned expansion at Heathrow. It has also provided specific advice on how this could be done.
Japan has dropped Covid-19 vaccine mandates.
An Instagram post claims that Japan has dropped Covid-19 vaccine mandates even though it has never enforced one.
Japan never enforced a Covid-19 vaccine mandate. Its government websites clearly state vaccination is encouraged but optional.
A photo shows a protest in Vienna, with the “vaccinated and unvaccinated standing together for what is right”.
Some are claiming a photo taken in Moscow in 1991 shows a protest in Vienna.
The photo was actually taken in Moscow in 1991.
The Covid-19 death rate as a percentage of the population is 0.0024%.
A Facebook post makes a false claim about the Covid-19 death rate.
This is not correct. The figure is calculated by dividing the number of deaths of those without pre-existing conditions by the whole population including those with existing conditions. This isn’t a “death rate” and shouldn’t be described as one. It excludes many people who have died outside hospitals. It’s also wrong to suggest that people with pre-existing conditions do not die of Covid-19, but just with it. Over 90% of people who die with Covid-19 have Covid-19 as an underlying cause of death.
It’s against the law to travel with an unrestrained pet in your car.
It’s not against the law to drive with your pet unsecured, but if the animal distracts you or you have an accident then this could be an offence.
In a day, Italy sent home more than 14,000 patients after treating them with Aspirin and Apronax.
The Italian Medicines Agency doesn’t mention aspirin or apronax in its list drugs used to treat Covid-19 outside of clinical trials. And there’s no record of a day when 14,000 people were sent home from hospital in Italy.
The US is the UK’s second largest trading partner.
The US is the UK’s second largest trading partner after the EU.
Coronaviruses can live on surfaces for up to 28 days, so you should be careful if you receive a package from China.
There’s no reason to believe that the new coronavirus can survive for long periods on packages from affected areas.
There is currently no evidence that this virus can survive on surfaces that long. Most other coronaviruses do not. Current health advice suggests the risk of contracting the virus from a package is very low.
The EU plans to ban British kettles, toasters and hairdryers.
Following the introduction of new EU laws on the power consumption of vacuum cleaners, it was speculated that hairdryers and lawn mowers might be next in line.
At best this is a stretch. It's not a ban: the EU is considering regulation which would limit the amount of energy appliances such as kettles and hairdryers use. A study into the proposals has been drafted, but no legislation has been brought forward yet.
Nadine Dorries MP’s office said that although vaccines aren’t mandatory, if you choose not to have a Covid-19 vaccine, you will face short-term restrictions to prevent you infecting anyone else.
The MP has said the email was sent by a new staff member and didn’t represent her view or government policy.
This is a genuine email sent from her office but according to the MP, it was not signed off by her and doesn’t reflect her view or government policy.
A video apparently shows a wind turbine shattering and collapsing during high winds.
This video doesn’t show an actual wind turbine exploding.
The video is a digital animation which was not meant to be interpreted as real.
A Scottish Water worker was overheard saying there’s radium in the water in Scotland and it’s making people ill but they’re not meant to be telling people.
A viral Facebook post claims a Scottish Water worker was overheard saying radium in the water is making people sick.
Scotland’s water supplier says there is no radium in its drinking water.
We now have 420,000 more people in employment than there were before the pandemic began.
The number of people in work is about 600,000 lower than it was before the pandemic.
False. The total number of people in employment, including the self-employed, is 600,000 lower than before the pandemic began.
The police have the evidence and authority under the Criminal Law Act 1967 to confiscate Covid-19 vaccines.
Police have some powers to close public premises but there is almost no likelihood they would close down a Covid-19 vaccine facility, particularly if there is no evidence those facilities are involved in the perpetration of crime.
A three-page trade agreement would mean little obvious would change in terms of our trade when we leave the EU.
Incorrect. This would be the most basic possible trade agreement. The UK and EU would lose alignment on regulation of goods, with significant non-tariff barriers to trade, and tariffs on trade in services.
Poor oral health raises the risk of mental illness by a third.
The study showing a link between poor mental health and gum disease did not make any claims about whether one caused the other, as suggested by the Telegraph.
A study found people with diagnosed gum disease were more likely to go on to develop a mental health condition, but did not say whether one factor caused the other, as suggested.
According to the Lisbon Treaty, in 2022, financial centres will all be moved to Strasbourg.
An auto ticket generating system will issue you with a six point penalty.
Highways England said they weren’t aware of any new systems on these roads. Breaking the speed limit can result in a fine of at least £100 and three points on your licence. Speed cameras can’t automatically issue points, but can trigger the process to issuing these fines and points.
The Federation of Small Businesses said the UK small business community sees the potential wins of an independent global trade policy. It wants trade with the EU 27 kept as easy as possible and is pushing to export to new growth areas in the US and Commonwealth.
Correct. The FSB also said its top priority is to secure a full, time-limited transition period. Other organisations say that businesses are optimistic but apprehensive, want clarity about the transition, and suggest a full or partial customs union with the EU, or for tariffs to be kept to a minimum.
Reported victims of needle spiking have tested positive for HIV.
The National AIDS Trust said some posts claiming victims of needle spiking had tested positive for HIV were “demonstrably false”.
It is extremely rare for HIV to be contracted via an unsterilised needle. In the UK it is recommended that people wait six weeks after possible exposure to test for HIV. A test a few days after exposure would not accurately determine whether someone has been infected and would need to be repeated several weeks later. For many of the recent reports, this time span has not elapsed.
This claim regularly reappears and has always been false.
No law is decided until Parliament votes on it.
New Covid face mask rules, for example, came into force before Parliament voted on the matter.
Some laws are created without or before a parliamentary vote, through secondary, or delegated, legislation.
Period poverty has forced more than a quarter of females to miss work or school.
Of those responding to the survey the figure seems to be closer to one in ten, but it’s unclear and we’ve asked for more information. The survey also wasn’t designed to be representative so it can’t tell us about the wider population.
Since the Conservatives came to government, national debt has increased from £0.95 trillion to £2 trillion.
In May 2010, when the Conservative-led coalition came to power, the national debt was £1.03 trillion. As of March 2019 it had risen to £1.80 trillion.
Not quite. Over that period debt has risen from £1 trillion to £1.8 trillion.
The 2015 Conservative manifesto committed the party to staying in the EU single market.
The 2015 Conservative manifesto did commit the party to the single market. The government’s EU referendum leaflet didn’t say explicitly that leaving the EU would mean leaving the single market.
The manifesto does say, “We are clear about what we want from Europe. We say: yes to the Single Market.” The manifesto also promises a referendum on EU membership, although staying in the EU and leaving its single market can be two different things.
More NHS patient are waiting 18 weeks for treatment in England, says the Guardian. Fewer are, says the government.
Have NHS waiting times got better or worse in the last few years? It depends which measure you're looking at.
These are two different measures of waiting times, which often move in different directions.
Media reports show that at least some individual nurses and trainees have visited food banks. We've not found any evidence on how widespread this is.
Media reports show that at least some individual nurses and trainees have visited food banks. We don’t have solid evidence of the scale of use.
Their long-term development, their use in 1945 on Japanese cities and the aftermath of that, and decades of research proves that nuclear weapons are real.
Corporation tax revenues have increased since the government reduced the tax rate.
Official forecasts say that receipts could well have been higher if the rates hadn’t been cut.
These are both correct. Official forecasts say that receipts could well have been higher if the rates hadn’t been cut.
Re-offending costs up to £13 billion a year.
That's the upper range of an estimate for 2007/08.
This estimate is uncertain and old. It originated in 2000 and has been inflated since then to account for price increases and changes in levels of crime. The researchers themselves say estimating these costs is "inevitably imprecise".
We don’t have data on people who died of Covid-19 as the primary infection.
In 2020, 73,444 deaths were registered in England and Wales with Covid-19 as the underlying cause.
We do know how many deaths were registered in England and Wales with Covid-19 as the underlying cause. In 2020 it was 73,444.
Two thirds of people with mental health conditions claiming PIP receive the higher daily living allowance compared to less than a quarter under DLA.
A greater share of people claiming disability benefits because of mental health conditions are receiving the higher rate, but that doesn’t mean that those claiming these benefits are all better off.
The figures are correct, 66% compared to 22%, but fewer people are claiming PIP, and only 39% of those who have moved from DLA to PIP have been awarded more money than they were receiving under DLA.
The Great Train Robbery robbers served at least 30 years.
Several of those involved in the Great Train Robbery were sentenced to 30 years in prison. But none that we’re aware of served the whole 30 years for that crime.
Our mortality rate remains much the same as others.
In the week to 11 January, Our World in Data reported the UK had the fourth highest rate of Covid-19 death in the world. John Hopkins University said it had the eighth highest.
Sadiq Khan faked getting the flu jab as the plastic cap was still on the needle.
A photo of a pharmacist preparing to give the Mayor of London his flu vaccination has gone viral.
The cap is still on the needle, because the image was taken before the mayor had the vaccination.
The BBC decided not to broadcast the funeral of Dame Vera Lynn live, but did broadcast the funeral of George Floyd in America.
Widely shared posts on Facebook wrongly claim the BBC decided not to broadcast Dame Vera Lynn’s funeral live, but did broadcast live the funeral of George Floyd.
This is not correct. Dame Vera’s funeral was a private event. The BBC did broadcast live the funeral procession, which was public.
There are over 2,000 more people employed in talking therapies.
UK carbon dioxide emissions have fallen 42% since 1990.
Broadly correct. UK carbon dioxide emissions fell 39% between 1990 and 2018, though this data isn’t perfect and may overstate the fall.
201 of the 210 households have accepted or moved into temporary or permanent housing.
How many households made homeless by the Grenfell Tower fire have accepted permanent or temporary accommodation, and how many are in permanent homes?
The most recent figure as of 17 May is 202, according to Kensington and Chelsea Council.
The UK is short of skilled electricians, plasterers, joiners, chefs and nurses.
There’s no simple definition for a shortage profession, but nurses and chefs are currently listed by experts as needing workers from overseas.
There’s no simple definition of a shortage skilled profession in the UK, but nurses and chefs are on the official Shortage Occupation List, because they’re considered to need workers from overseas. The other professions mentioned aren’t currently on that list, but some employers still report difficulties in recruiting them, especially joiners.
The antibiotics gentamicin sulfate and polymyxin b are in vaccines and can cause allergic reactions ranging from mild to life-threatening.
Traces of these antibiotics can end up in certain vaccines, but would only cause a reaction in someone severely allergic.
Almost a third of children aged 2 to 15 are overweight or obese.
An estimated 16% of children aged 2-15 in England were obese in 2016, and a further 12% were overweight.
An NHS survey estimates that 28% of children aged 2 to 15 in England were overweight or obese in 2016.
The risk of transmitting Covid-19 from an unmasked person to an unmasked person is 90%. From an unmasked person to a masked person it is 30%. From a masked person to an unmasked person it is 5%. From a masked person to a masked person it is 1.5%.
A graphic showing the risk of Covid-19 transmission between people wearing and not wearing masks contains figures which haven’t been evidenced.
While evidence supports wearing masks to reduce the transmission of Covid-19, these figures are unsubstantiated.
The death rate from heart disease has increased for the first time in 50 years.
Incorrect. The death rate continues to fall.
New figures show the serious crime rate in England and Wales is rising.
New estimates have rated crimes by their severity, but they can’t tell us about crime trends over time.
New figures suggest recorded crimes are getting more severe, but they can’t prove that crime is rising.
10,000 fewer places on nursing courses have been filled because there are fewer applications.
Incorrect. This figure refers to applications rather than places. There are still more applicants than places.
You are not meant to have unprotected sex after a second dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine as it could cause birth defects due to genetic manipulation.
Participants in the original vaccine trial were required not to have unprotected sex for 28 days after their second dose, but this is just a standard precaution in new drug trials.
This is not advice for everyone who’s had the Pfizer vaccine. There is no evidence the vaccine causes birth defects. This was a precaution in the vaccine trial, as is standard in many trials, to prevent participants conceiving shortly afterwards, but there was no suspicion of a link with birth defects.
There are 400,000 people who don’t get the social care they used to following cuts over the last eight years.
The number of people in England receiving adult social care from their local council fell by around 425,000 between 2009/10 and 2013/14. Because of changes in the way the figures are collected we can’t compare this with more recent numbers.
Scotland’s public finances haven’t always benefited from being part of the UK.
The gap between what the Scottish government spends and what it collects in taxes is higher than the rest of the UK. So at the moment, Scotland’s public finances benefit from fiscal union.
Correct. Scotland’s was a net contributor to the rest of the UK in 2005/6, and for four years from 2007/8 until 2011/12.
Viruses are dead material expelled from healing cells.
It’s not clear what this claim means, but there is debate about whether or not viruses are technically alive. When viruses leave host cells after replicating in them, the cells can’t really be said to have healed.
The coordinates of the Great Pyramid of Giza and the speed of light in metres per second are the same and this could be more than coincidence
A line of latitude going through the Great Pyramid in Egypt does match the speed of light, but about 20,000 other lines go through the pyramid as well.
One line of latitude passing through the pyramid contains the same numbers as the speed of light in a vacuum, but there are around 20,000 other lines of latitude passing through the pyramid, so you have to choose the number deliberately to make it look like a coincidence.
Everyone has thousands of viruses inside their body.
This is true, although that doesn’t mean that Covid-19 is harmless.
Over 26 million workers are entitled to paid leave because of the EU, so there are almost 750 million days of paid holiday taken.
That’s the correct number of employees in the UK, but multiplying them by the number of paid holidays they’re entitled to doesn’t work and doesn’t produce a number that the EU alone can take credit for.
Charles Bronson attacked Ian Huntley in prison.
This is incorrect. Ian Huntley and Charles Bronson are in separate prisons and there are no reports of any similar attack.
Tap water can return a positive lateral flow test result for Covid-19.
Using a lateral flow test incorrectly will produce unreliable and misleading results.
Putting tap water on a lateral flow test will break it. Claims that water has tested positive have no basis in fact, because the test is used incorrectly.
George Osborne promised to eliminate the deficit by 2015.
The Chancellor aimed to bring the UK back into surplus by 2015, not technically the same as a promise. Deficit reduction didn't go to plan.
In 2010 he said that the government's aim was for the deficit to be eliminated by 2015. While an aim isn't a promise, the government's performance on the deficit has been worse than was aimed for.
The SNP was wrong to say that Scotland currently has a lower prevalence of Covid than England.
The SNP quoted Covid-19 figures from the ONS correctly.
The SNP was correct about this, citing reliable recent data from the ONS. Data from the Coronavirus dashboard shows a different picture, but is less reliable for this purpose.
Wales’s test and trace system cost £102 million.
Incorrect. This was the amount allocated by the Welsh government, but the system in Wales is also part-funded by the UK government.
The BBC altered the headline on the front page of a Scottish newspaper.
The headline of an article about the Scottish election results was changed by the newspaper.
False. The Herald changed its front page headline. The BBC first reported the original headline and later reported the changed headline.
More than half of criminal trials in England and Wales have to rescheduled or called of.
Michael Gove is right that less than half of criminal trials went as planned last year. Concerns about the efficiency of the criminal courts are growing.
A video shows Storm Eunice blowing a wheelie bin, a trampoline and chairs around in the air.
A video from TikTok of a trampoline and wheelie bin flying through the air were online long before Storm Eunice.
The video was taken in 2021, during a suspected tornado in Barking, London.
A tube advert purporting to be from the Conservatives says “We plan to cut all homeless people in half by 2025”.
Political adverts aren’t allowed on the London Underground, and the advert is fake.
The advert is fake. It was made by an artist.
The rate of corporation tax has been cut step-by-step since 2010. That’s been partly but not completely offset by a reduction in allowances and efforts to tackle tax avoidance.
The UK has lost its measles free status just three years after the virus was eliminated.
The World Health Organisation says ‘eliminating measles’ means the number of cases in a country is at a level where it can’t circulate easily.
The World Health Organisation no longer judges measles to have been eliminated in the UK – but that doesn’t mean there was ever a year when there were no cases of the disease.
In 2010 the budget deficit was running at over 10% of the UK’s GDP.
Individual EU countries could veto a deal on the UK leaving the EU.
Individual countries won’t be able to veto an EU-UK deal on how it leaves the bloc, but could block a deal on future trade if they don’t like it.
Individual countries can’t veto a treaty governing the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, but could veto a treaty establishing Britain’s new relationship with the EU.
Mark Field MP tweeted in 2011 about threatening a girl on the tube and in 2014 in favour of beating women and children.
Tweets claiming Mr Field threatened a girl on the tube and is in favour of beating women and children are fake.
Bill Gates’ polio vaccine permanently disabled 47,000 children in India.
This is based on a paper which claims that the polio vaccine increases the incidence of paralysis caused by things that aren’t polio. This is far from certain.
Being in Europe means lower prices in UK shops, saving the average UK household over £350 a year. If we left Europe, your weekly shop could cost more.
Factchecking the Stronger In "facts" leaflet.
This isn’t the impact of being in the EU as such, but one estimate of the impact of the free trade deals the EU has negotiated—a saving of 1.27% for the average household. It’s difficult to say overall what the impact of being in the EU has had on prices in the UK.
There were no Covid-19 deaths in Ireland in August.
Incorrect. There were 14 confirmed Covid-19 deaths in Ireland in August.
The manual for certain benefits is three times the size of War and Peace.
The government publishes extensive guidance for its staff on handling benefit claims.
This is right on one measure. Guidance for officials on administering JSA and Income Support has three times as many pages as the novel’s first edition.
Increasing numbers of people are being referred to the Channel "deradicalisation" scheme, including a large proportion under 18.
It's been reported that referrals to the government's "deradicalisation" programme, Channel, are on the up. That's broadly correct.
Gargling with warm and salt water kills germs on the tonsils and prevents them from leaking into the lungs.
There’s no evidence gargling with saline will cure or prevent Covid-19.
By the end of January 2022, all vaccinated Germans will have AIDS and be 100% more vulnerable to Covid infections.
An article by The Expose uses inaccurate figures and flawed calculations to incorrectly claim that Covid vaccines cause AIDS.
The figures this article is based on have since been corrected. There is no evidence that vaccines cause AIDS, that declining efficacy from a Covid vaccine would cause AIDS or that being vaccinated reduces your protection against Covid.
All animals used in Covid-19 vaccine trials died months later from immune disorders, sepsis and/or cardiac failure.
A Facebook post is wrong to claim animals involved in vaccine trials died from sepsis, immune disorder or cardiac failure.
There is no evidence for this.. The claim is based on a 2012 study looking at different vaccines. The animals, in this case mice, were euthanized as is standard procedure in this sort of trial. They did not die “months later” as claimed.
There have been three deaths linked to Covid-19 vaccines among children in Australia.
A tweet purporting to come from an Australian health official claimed three children had died of Covid-19 vaccines in Australia. This is false and the tweet is fake.
There is no evidence for this. The tweet claiming this is fake, purporting to be from an Australian health official. The New South Wales health ministry has said the information in the tweet is incorrect.
The formation of “non-neutralizing antibodies” can lead to an exaggerated immune reaction, especially when the person is confronted with the real, “wild” virus after vaccination. This so-called antibody-dependent amplification, ADE, has long been known from experiments with corona vaccines in cats.
There’s no evidence antibody-dependent amplification is an issue in humans with Covid-19, and the use of plasma therapy suggests that it is not.
38% of infections outside of the home are caught in schools
Our readers have asked us to look into claims made by the NEU and Skwawkbox about Covid-19 transmission in schools.
This data refers to the number of Covid-19 incidents reported by local health teams. It does not represent all non-domestic transmission and it is misleading to suggest this.
All viruses mutate over time, and SARS-CoV-2 is no exception. We know they exist because of genomic sequencing, and there are a number of Variants of Concern currently identified as such by the UK government.
The Conservatives cut the army from 98,000 personnel in 2010 to 72,500 in 2021 - a reduction of over 25,000.
The graph suggests a reduction in army numbers planned to take place by 2025 had already happened in 2021.
72,500 represents the planned army size by 2025, not the actual army size in 2021. In 2021 at its smallest the army had 76,348 full-time trade-trained personnel—around 21,650 fewer than in 2010.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson advocated for the UK to take Covid-19 “on the chin” and allow the disease to spread through the population.
Claims the Prime Minister said the country should take the new coronavirus “on the chin” and allow it to spread through the population have been taken out of context.
The Prime Minister said this was a theory on how to deal with the virus, but said it would be better if we take all the measures we can to reduce the burden on the NHS during the peak of the disease.
Theresa May leads Jeremy Corbyn in the opinion polls.
Theresa May is viewed as a better PM than Jeremy Corbyn, and the Conservatives are slightly ahead of Labour in the polls.
It’s correct that Theresa May is more favoured as Prime Minister than Jeremy Corbyn in polls generally, though the Express poll only compares the two leaders on their economic credibility.
A Radox bath product contains the ingredient clary sage which can induce labour in pregnant women and should never be used during pregnancy, especially in the first and second trimester.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards told us there’s no evidence that clary sage would be dangerous at these levels.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards told us there’s no evidence that clary sage would be dangerous for pregnant women in the quantities found in bath products.
A British pensioner with 45 years’ worth of national insurance contributions is likely to get at least £700 a year more than this, and be eligible for more benefits on top.
Dr Elisa Granato, one of the first participants in a UK Covid-19 vaccine trial, has died.
False news reports wrongly claim that Dr Elisa Granato, one of the first participants in a UK Covid-19 vaccine trial, has died. She is not dead.
Young British people would be called up to serve in an EU army.
The EU has no formal plans for an EU army, or for military conscription. The UK has a veto on EU security and defence policy so couldn’t be forced to participate in an EU army.
Children and adults have the same chance of getting ill from Covid-19.
The ONS found there was no evidence that the rate of infection differed by age, but being infected doesn’t necessarily mean you become ill.
The ONS found, with a degree of uncertainty, that there was no evidence that the rate of infection differed by age group, but being infected doesn’t necessarily mean you become ill and display symptoms.
If you want to marry and bring in someone from a country outside of the EU, you have to have a salary of over £18,600.
Correct, this has been the minimum income requirement before tax since 2012, although in some circumstances you can include your partner’s income in meeting the threshold.
Thousands of doctors and nurses will lose their jobs for being unvaccinated.
A Facebook post suggests that thousands of unvaccinated doctors and nurses will lose their jobs
A public consultation is due to launch on whether to make vaccination mandatory for healthcare workers, but we don’t know the outcome yet.
The Control of Diseases Act in the UK changed on 27 April.
The Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 was not changed on this date. The last time the law was changed was 25 March when the Coronavirus Act meant a section, saying local authorities could not cremate a body against the wishes of the person, was removed temporarily. It’s possible this might happen under the new law, but it also says the person’s wishes must be taken into account as far as possible.
The headline figure is correct for goods exports. The way Wales’ trade is calculated has changed significantly in recent months.
Correct, although this is counting goods exports only.
If we leave the EU, we could introduce a points-based immigration system like Australia’s.
This is correct. We're likely to need to leave the single market to do so.
Most people made homeless by the Grenfell Tower fire are not in permanent accommodation.
Correct. Just under two-thirds of the 210 households who were residents of Grenfell Tower or Grenfell Walk are not in permanent accommodation.
Research has found that a massive amount of the population has a deadly heart condition after a year of Covid-19 vaccines.
A video wrongly implies the results of a new study looking at how many people may need treatment for a heart condition has only appeared since people started getting the Covid-19 vaccine.
We could find no evidence that aortic stenosis has anything to do with Covid-19 vaccines. There’s no evidence the vaccines cause the condition, which is due to a congenital heart defect, or damage to the heart that occurs with age.
Sir Patrick Vallance said 60% of people currently in hospital with Covid-19 were double vaccinated.
Sir Patrick Vallance, the government’s chief scientific adviser, has corrected comments he made at a press conference.
It is correct that he said this during a government briefing, but later corrected his remarks on Twitter. He meant to say 60% of hospitalisations from Covid-19 are currently from unvaccinated people.
This is referring to BBC analysis of published figures finding 137 of 152 NHS trusts had bed occupancy above the recommended 85% between 1 December 2016 and 22 January 2017.
A £22 billion Test and Trace contract was given to a company which has been prosecuted twice by the Serious Fraud Office.
The entire budget for the first year of Test and Trace was £22 billion, and the £13.5 billion spent went to a number of public and private organisations.
£22 billion was the entire budget for Test and Trace during 2020/21, of which around £13.5 billion was spent. The money went to a range of public and private organisations, not just one company.
Around 17,000 people have died of Covid-19 in Britain.
The former LBC broadcaster made misleading claims about vaccines, infection rates and death tolls.
This is not true. By late January 2022, more than 142,000 deaths due to Covid-19 had been registered in England and Wales alone.
The number of school pupils in the UK is around 10 million.
More people died from suicide than from Covid-19 in August.
We don’t yet have data on the number of deaths from suicide in August 2020.
There is no data on the number of deaths from suicide in August this year, as the cause of death needs to be confirmed by an inquest. The monthly average from 2018, the most recent year we have data for, was slightly higher than the number of Covid deaths in August 2020.
A hundred-thousand pupils have failed to return to school full time despite classrooms reopening in March 2021.
The Centre for Social Justice has described around 93,000 pupils as “severely absent” in the 2020 autumn term.
The Centre for Social Justice, found 93,514 pupils missed more than 50% of school sessions between September to December 2020 so this is unrelated to the reopening of schools in March. Before the pandemic the figure was about 60,000.
SARS-CoV-2 has never been isolated, purified, sequenced, characterised or proven to exist.
It has now been sequenced over a million times in the UK.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus does exist and has been sequenced over a million times in the UK alone.
China has closed down its last coronavirus hospital. Not enough new cases to support them.
This is correct. The last hospitals closed at the start of March 2020.
The UK government will be £290 million a week worse off because of leaving the EU.
The Office for Budget Responsibility expect the government to have a £21 billion deficit in 2020/21. In March they had predicted an £11 billion surplus.
That’s what the Office for Budget Responsibility expect, but it’s a hugely uncertain figure and relies on assumptions about future immigration, productivity and inflation.
More than one in 10 callers to HMRC fails to get through to anyone, compared with just over one in 20 a year ago.
13% of calls to HMRC went unanswered from April 2017 to February 2018, compared to 8% in 2016/17 as a whole.
There were 2,000 new social homes in 2014/15, compared to 12,000 social homes which were sold as part of the Right to Buy scheme.
In an interview with David Cameron on the weekend, Andrew Marr claimed that many more social homes have been sold under Right to Buy than replaced.
These figure are correct for social homes sold and being built by local authorities in England.
Doctor patient confidentiality no longer exists.
Doctors can tell the authorities if they suspect you have a notifiable infectious disease.
11.5 million Brits, or one in four, were prescribed addictive drugs last year.
Correct for adults in England in 2017/18. This is the number of people who had received at least one prescription for one of five specific types of potentially addictive drug.
Wales has a fiscal deficit worth just under 25% of its GDP, compared to the UK deficit of 5%.
There isn’t an official government estimate for the size of the deficit between government income and spending in Wales and it’s not simple to work out.
That was correct in 2014/15, according to estimates from Cardiff University. This is the most recent year we’ve seen estimates for. The scale of the difference seems likely to be similar now, even if the figures are smaller.
The UK and France are the predominant defence countries in terms of investment and spend across Europe.
Which countries in Europe spend the most on defence?
Correct. Whether the UK or France spends the most depends on exactly how you count it.
The OECD has ranked the UK as the third highest for education funding.
This includes private spending, so isn’t an accurate reflection of government funding. In terms of public spending on education, as a percentage of GDP, the UK ranked joint-fourteenth out of 34 OECD countries that provided data in 2015. Education spending in the UK is devolved.
Two thirds of police forces are rated good or outstanding.
While it's true that two thirds of police forces across England and Wales were rated good or outstanding in 2016, only one was outstanding. The other 28 were rated good.
This is correct based on HMIC’s most recent report on police effectiveness. Of the 43 police forces in England and Wales one was found to be outstanding and 28 were good in 2016. That’s just over two thirds.
The number of people entering teacher training has increased in the last year.
At the heart of the debate about whether there's a teacher shortage are competing claims about what's been happening to numbers of trainee teachers.
The number of people entering postgraduate teacher training increased in the last year, but is below target. The overall number of people entering at undergraduate and postgraduate level has fallen.
An image of a highly patterned room is a picture from the Downing Street flat refurbishment.
It is a picture taken from previous work of interior designer and co-founder of Soane Britain, Lulu Lytle.
This image has been around since at least 2017, and seems to be a picture from interior designer and Soane co-founder Lulu Lytle’s previous work on her own home.
The US is the largest economy in the world.
It’s the first or second largest, depending on how you measure it.
Average pay has finally surpassed its pre-crisis peak.
Average wages excluding bonuses have surpassed the 2008 peak, but wages including bonuses haven’t yet.
True, for average weekly earnings in GB, if you don’t count bonuses. Average weekly total earnings including bonuses is still below the pre-crisis peak.
Covid-19 is no more dangerous than seasonal flu.
False. Covid-19 has killed far more people than seasonal flu does over a similar period.
The new Nightingale Hospital in London wants people to post it home-made art to brighten up the walls.
“Rainbows for Nightingale” was an unofficial appeal for art in the post that spread widely on social media.
This is not true. The “Rainbows for Nightingale” appeal was not an official one. The hospital has confirmed this.
There is a rising problem of mental stress among children because of exams.
Exam stress clearly affects children in the UK, and there’s some evidence from counselling services and school leaders that it’s a growing problem.
There’s evidence to support this from children’s counselling services and the views of school leaders in England, but we don’t yet know much more about how common exam stress is across the UK more generally.
One in 100 children who catch Covid-19 get sick enough with the disease to be admitted to hospital.
This is not true. It reflects the approximate proportion of children who tested positive for Covid-19, who were admitted to hospital. This rate has roughly halved recently. A child’s real risk of admission due to Covid is also much lower than this rate suggests, because many infections are not detected as cases, and some admissions are not due to Covid.
This is incorrect. A report from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation said that overall poverty rates have remained at about 22% over the last 15 years. However, some groups have seen increased rates of poverty, including children and pensioners.
At the SNP party conference, the SNP voted to increase the state pension in an independent Scotland to match the EU average.
The resolution recommending this said the OECD average of 63% of average earnings should be set as the minimum.
The conference voted in favour of a resolution supporting the commissioning of a plan looking at how pension levels could be increased. It also mentioned that the OECD average should be set as a target.
Bus fares have gone up by 60% since 2010.
Lisa Nandy said that bus fares have risen 60% in 10 years, which is correct using one estimate, but doesn’t take the change in wages into account.
Correct, looking at one measure which includes coach fares too. However, this increase doesn’t factor in the rise in wages over the same period.
A photograph shows Meryl Streep on the New York subway shortly after an unsuccessful audition for a role in King Kong.
This picture was taken five years after King Kong came out, when Ms Streep was already a successful actress.
This is not true. The photograph was taken years later, when Ms Streep was a successful actress.
People are getting paid £850 a week in benefits.
Most households receive payments below the benefits cap.
Most people receiving universal credit or housing support receive less than this figure due to the benefits cap. Some can receive over the benefits cap, but most do not.
Inhaling steam can cure Covid-19 by killing the virus that causes it when it is in the sinuses, before it reaches the lungs.
An Italian study saying it could be effective only had 10 participants.
There’s no evidence that this is the case.
The £1.9 billion the government has spent on preparing for no deal so far could pay the salaries of around 85,000 nurses, 50,000 secondary school teachers or 49,000 police constables.
The government hasn’t said how much money departments are spending preparing for a ‘no deal’ Brexit outcome.
The government hasn’t said how much of the government’s additional Brexit funding is going to no deal preparations specifically. That would pay the salaries of roughly this many staff, but it doesn’t tell us anything useful as these workers would cost more to employ than their salaries alone.
The effects of the vaccines are not reversible.
It is unclear how long the protection given by Covid-19 vaccines lasts against the disease. Most side effects observed are mild and pass within a few days.
European patent 3172319B1 is owned by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
It is not. The patent is owned by the UK-based Pirbright Institute, which receives some of its funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
There are 400,000 fewer children in poverty than there were in 2010.
Incorrect. Main measures can be used to show anything from a fall of 100,000 to a rise of 500,000.
Home ownership in England rose slightly last year following year-on-year falls since 2004.
Correct over the last year in England. The proportion of homes owned by the occupier increased by 0.5 percentage points between 2016 and 2017. This follows year on year falls since 2004.
Last year, Tory MPs promised, budgeted and voted into law a 2.1% pay rise for NHS staff.
Not quite right. Parliament passed a law which committed the government to providing a minimum level of funding for the NHS each year until 2023/24. But it didn’t specify how exactly that money would be spent.
Data from the World Integrated Trade Solutions website shows that Covid-19 testing kits were being bought and sold by countries long before the pandemic.
Numerous items already used by the medical profession have been reclassified for use with Covid-19 in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The data shows imports and exports of general testing kits which have since been classified as for Covid-19 during the pandemic.
Just 2.9% of deaths were caused by Covid-19 in the first three months of 2020.
In the first 12 weeks of 2020, less than 1% of deaths registered in England and Wales had Covid-19 on the death certificate, but the rate has since risen to more than 30% for some weeks in April.
The Covid vaccine is an RNA vaccine. This will actually change your DNA.
Several candidate vaccines use this technology.
Some of the Covid-19 vaccine candidates are RNA vaccines. These don’t alter your DNA, they comprise of mRNA that gives the body instructions on how to make the proteins on the surface of the virus.
Nearly 99% of Covid-19 patients who are vitamin D deficient die, according to a research study.
This study has been removed from the online research library it was published on.
A study from Indonesia did claim to show this, but there are problems with the study methods that mean it doesn’t prove this is the case. The paper has now been removed by the authors from the online research library it appeared on.
The UK population is 61.6 million, of whom 194,000 are refugees.
A Facebook graphic is broadly right that refugees are a small proportion of the UK population.
The latest estimate of the UK population was 64.6 million, as of 2014. The UN's latest estimate suggests that there were 117,000 refugees living in the UK that year.
A Swedish woman was savagely beaten by a Muslim migrant after she asked him to stop groping her.
Posts online have suggested the attacker was a Muslim migrant, despite there being no evidence to prove this.
A woman was physically attacked in a nightclub in Sweden after she tried to stop a man sexually assaulting her. Her description of the attacker did not mention his religion or if he was a migrant, and his identity remains unknown, so there is no basis for the claim that he was a Muslim migrant.
Waving the British flag will result in arrest for breach of the peace.
This is unlikely outside of some very particular circumstances.
A whistleblower has described how Pfizer made up results about injuries and deaths during vaccine trials. This has been published in the British Medical Journal.
While it is true that the BMJ did publish an article about concerns raised by a whistleblower who was previously employed by a company running some of Pfizer’s Covid-19 trials, it did not include allegations that the company had made up results about deaths.
A post claims influenza has been eradicated and seems to suggest this is suspicious.
There are good reasons why the flu season is genuinely mild this year, including record vaccination rates and improved hygiene.
While there appears to be very few flu infections due to various reasons, the flu has not been eradicated. Covid-19 deaths are not miscategorised flu deaths.
The WTO’s founding principle is to ensure that free trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible.
Its founding and guiding principles “remain the pursuit of open borders, the guarantee of most-favoured-nation principle and non-discriminatory treatment by and among members, and a commitment to transparency in the conduct of its activities.”
The EU has ordered organic farmers to treat sick animals with homeopathy in a new directive.
EU legislation promotes homeopathy in organic farming if it's an effective treatment. The law isn't particularly new, as a revised version of the claim makes clear.
Cut onions promote the growth of bacteria and quickly become dangerous to eat.
It is perfectly safe to keep chopped onions in the fridge for up to a week.
This is not true. Cut onions are safe to eat for about a week, if kept in the fridge.
Fluoride is the same ingredient used in rat poison and Prozac.
Sodium fluoride has been used as a rat poison in the past but the fluoride in that is at much higher concentrations than is found in tap water or toothpaste. Prozac’s main ingredient is fluoxetine hydrochloride – which contains fluoride but also consists of other elements in a very different structure.
The OBR expects real household disposable incomes to be 2.8% higher in 2020/21 than they are at the moment.
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) expects national income in 2020/21 to be about £50 billion lower than it would have been, had the UK voted to remain in the EU.
Student ‘loans’ don’t actually work like loans.
Politicians were accused of misrepresenting students’ finance options - so how does it work?
That’s right. What you pay for your student ‘loan’ depends on what you earn, not how much you borrowed, and it doesn’t appear on your credit file.
60% of all sales from Northern Ireland go to Great Britain.
Correct that 60% of all sales from Northern Ireland went to Great Britain in 2015.
Patients diagnosed with lung cancer after visiting A&E are five times more likely to die within a year compared to diagnoses after a GP referral.
This is incorrect. A diagnosis following a GP referral was associated with a three times higher likelihood of survival after 12-months compared to diagnosis following an emergency presentation route.
Ten minutes’ exercise each week cuts risk of early death by a fifth.
The study looked at the impact of doing 10-59 minutes of moderate activity a week, compared to inactivity.
Incorrect. A new study has found that American adults aged 40-85 who did 10-59 minutes of moderate physical activity per week (not just 10) had an 18% lower risk of dying than inactive adults during a follow-up period.
Households are £900 worse off due to increased energy bills since 2010.
The Committee on Climate Change has said that household bills in 2016 were lower than they were in 2008, due to reductions in energy use.
That's adding up the increase in average electricity and gas bills in each of the six years from 2010 to 2016 (adjusting for inflation) if energy use stayed the same over this time. It hasn't. The Committee on Climate Change has said that household bills in 2016 were lower than they were in 2008, due to reductions in energy use.
Under the new withdrawal agreement, there is a transition period until 2021, extendable for years longer.
Under the current terms of the agreement, the transition period would end just before 2021 began. It could theoretically be extended by up to two years, provided that’s been settled by half way through 2020.
A photo of Mike Tyson shows him wearing a ‘Plan-Demic’ t-shirt.
A photo of Mike Tyson wearing a t-shirt promoting the ‘Plan-Demic’ conspiracy theory has been altered
The photo has been altered to add a Plan-Demic logo.
The government supports 2.2 million households with a £140-a-week discount on energy bills.
The Prime Minister described the discount incorrectly during PMQs.
This is not true. The Warm Home Discount is actually £140 for the entire winter.
Vaccinating children against Covid-19 would probably do more harm than good.
The JCVI says that the Covid vaccines would probably do marginally more good than harm, even for healthy children.
According to the JCVI, vaccinating children would probably do more good than harm. This is especially true of children with an underlying health condition.
Drinking a mixture of milk and cough syrup is poisonous.
A viral Facebook post claiming four children died after being given a toxic mix of milk and cough syrup is false. Mixing milk and cough syrup doesn’t form a poison.
At their party conference the Conservatives announced a policy of naming and shaming companies that employ foreign workers.
The Conservatives did seem to suggest publishing the percentage of foreign workers at different companies, although they’ve now ruled that out.
The announcement said that companies should “be clear” about the percentage of foreign workers they employ, and the Home Secretary didn’t deny that this involved naming and shaming in comments the next day. Other ministers have since ruled that out.
The government has given the NHS the money that it asked for.
The NHS “got less than we asked for”, the chief of NHS England Simon Stevens told MPs in the Public Accounts Committee in January.
The head of NHS England says this is not the case.
In response to the New Zealand mosque attacks, Islamists have burned down a Christian church in Pakistan.
A video circulating online falsely claims to show a mosque being attacked in Pakistan in March 2019. It shows an attack on a church in Egypt in 2013.
False. The video used as evidence for this statement shows an attack on a church in Egypt in 2013.
Drinking a glass of water before going to bed helps prevent stroke and heart attacks.
There’s some evidence that keeping hydrated can help prevent coronary heart disease and help improve stroke outcomes. But we found no evidence specifying that drinking water before bed was particularly beneficial.
Manchester City Council commissioned a mural of George Floyd over one of Lee Rigby.
A Facebook post falsely claims that Manchester councillors approved a George Floyd mural over one of Lee Rigby.
Manchester City Council said they made no decision about the George Floyd mural in the city’s Northern Quarter.
There are record numbers of young people going to university, including from disadvantaged backgrounds.
We take a look at the different ways of measuring university participation by young people and disadvantaged young people.
Jo Johnson MP, Universities and Science Minister
Accurate based on numbers and rates of young people accepted onto full-time places at university in England. Advantaged students are still substantially more likely to go to university.
The defence budget was cut by nearly 20% between 2010 and 2015.
Correct. Defence spending fell by 18% in real terms between 2010/11 and 2014/15, or by 22% comparing since 2009/10.
This is much higher than the latest independent estimate, which puts it at £106 billion. That cost is significantly higher than initital estimates.
The UK has taken more vulnerable people fleeing theatres of conflict since 2015 than any other country in Europe.
The UK has resettled more people than other European countries through resettlement schemes, but that doesn’t include hundreds of thousands of people also seeking asylum.
The figures Boris Johnson is referring to only show the numbers accepted through resettlement schemes. We don't have any reliable comparative data for the number of vulnerable people fleeing “theatres of conflict”, but figures show that other European countries have accepted far more refugees in total.
The UK is making progress towards meeting its 2020 targets on renewable energy.
Without further action from the government the UK will miss its target to get 15% of energy from renewable sources by 2020.
It has met its interim targets, but that doesn’t mean it will meet the target for 2020. Without further action from the government the target will be missed.
3.4% of patients waited more than 12 hours in Wales compared with 1.3% in England.
A higher percentage of A&E patients spend 12 hours in A&E in Wales than in England. Asking who is responsible for that is a complex question.
Correct. That’s the percentage of A&E patients who spent more than 12 hours in A&E, from arrival to departure in 2016/17.
Young people are not at risk from Covid-19 at all.
Death and severe disease are very unlikely, but there is not no risk of them “at all”.
Incorrect. Both children and young adults face a very low risk of death or serious illness if they catch Covid-19.
The flu vaccine doesn’t work because the flu has not been eliminated.
Incorrect. The flu vaccine prevents illness and deaths. However, it can only protect against some of the ever-changing viruses that cause the flu.
Around 4-12% of birds are poultry, but if you looked at mass rather than the number of birds, poultry would account for 70%.
Around 4-12% of birds are chickens and other poultry, but, by mass, they account for around 70%.
The vaccines haven’t been subject to medium or long term safety testing on humans.
The vaccines have been tested on humans since mid-2020. If vaccines produce side effects, these are usually detectable in the short term.
Government data shows 460 deaths and 243,612 injuries from Covid-19 vaccines in the UK.
Misleading claims about vaccine deaths are a misreporting of data from the Yellow Card scheme.
This is wrong. Deaths and other 'injuries' may occur after someone has had a vaccine, but this does not mean they were caused by the vaccine.
There has been a 400% increase in hate crime within the LGBT+ community.
There are two sources of data on this type of hate crime, one estimates a 261% increase and the other a 40% decrease since around 2010.
Incorrect. There are two sources of data on this type of hate crime. One estimates a 261% increase in hate crime on the basis of sexual orientation and transgender identity, and the other estimates a 40% decrease in hate crimes based on sexual orientation since around 2010. Neither measure is perfect.
The Foreign Secretary’s claim that the UK can leave the EU customs union but still trade freely was described as “impossible” by his Dutch counterpart.
Can the UK be partly in and partly out of the EU customs union?
Broadly correct, although Jeroen Dijsselbloem assumed that Boris Johnson was referring to staying in the EU single market when he talked about maintaining “free trade”. That may not have been the case.
TfL is part of a pilot whereby staff required to self-isolate can instead take daily Covid-19 tests at work.
TfL initially suggested it wasn’t part of the scheme. Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak said they wouldn't be self-isolating due to being part of the pilot themselves, before the decision was reversed.
All seven patients who were getting treated for Covid-19 at Safdarjung hospital in New Delhi have recovered.
There is a news story reporting that seven patients in this hospital in New Delhi had recovered. However, these were not the only Covid-19 patients in the city.
A video shows the devastation caused by an explosion in a Ukraine city.
A video shared on social media claims to show an explosion and collapsed buildings in Ukraine, but it actually shows an explosion in Lebanon in 2020.
The video shows the aftermath of an accidental explosion in Lebanon in 2020 and doesn’t relate to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The UK has recorded five times more deaths “due to” the Covid-19 vaccines than all other vaccines over the past five years
It has been misleadingly claimed that the UK has recorded five times more deaths ‘due to’ the Covid-19 vaccines than all other vaccines over the past five years.
These refer to the number of deaths reported after vaccination though may not have been due to vaccination.
A video appears to show a phone detecting a new “product” when placed near a man’s arm, suggesting he was implanted with an electronic device when vaccinated.
There are no microchips in Covid-19 vaccines.
Vaccines do not contain microchips. This is not evidence of microchips being contained in vaccines.
51% think the Chequers deal is not good for Britain.
That's of adults in Great Britain voting 'Leave' in the 2016 referendum, according to one survey. Among all adults in Great Britain, it's 42%.
The Queen and her children do not have passports to travel.
The Queen doesn’t need a passport, as she is the issuer of these documents, but all other members of the Royal Family have them.
The Queen takes 15% of the crown estate profit each year - around £60m.
Historically the Queen received a grant from the government based on 15% of the income from the Crown Estate, but this has gone up to 25% to pay for refurbishments to Buckingham Palace. In 2019/20 this will equate to about £82 million.
Since fracking recommenced in Lancashire there have been 17 earthquakes in nine days.
Fracking is causing lots of micro-earthquakes, most of which are at a level that can’t be felt. In the UK there are thousands of such earthquakes each year.
There were 18 earthquakes, but they’re very small, and earthquakes of this scale happen thousands of times in the UK each year. Fracking inherently tends to cause small earthquakes, but has occasionally been indirectly linked with larger ones as well.
Full-fibre has low maintenance costs once rolled out, which can be estimated at around £230 million a year.
Labour initially calculated the cost of maintaining a full fibre broadband network at £230million a year. Data suggests costs would be two to four times this amount.
This is based on a miscalculation. Data from the infrastructure agency suggests costs would be two to four times this amount.
In the UK on 1 July 2021, 66% had had their first vaccination, 49% had had their second, and there were 27,989 new cases of Covid-19.
This is correct for the percentage of the UK population that had been vaccinated and how many new cases were reported on that date.
There is a shortage of 40,000 nurses across the UK.
There were 40,000 vacant nursing positions in England in December 2016, according to the Royal College of Nursing.
This is correct, according to an estimate of full-time equivalent nursing vacancies in December 2016 done by the Royal College of Nursing, though it only refers to England. That isn’t the same as the number of nurses NHS England needs.
State school pupils are less likely to reach top professions than pupils from private schools.
Pupils who go to state schools are less represented in the 'top jobs' than they are among the general population.
A video shows migrants rioting in Denmark.
This is not footage of migrants rioting in Denmark, it is from a protest in Algeria.
It’s actually from anti-government protests in Algeria.
Data from 145 countries shows that deployment of Covid-19 vaccines causes an increase in Covid-19 cases and deaths.
Misleading headlines shared on social media come from an unpublished study which has been strongly criticised by experts.
Medical statisticians have explained that the analysis, which is not peer reviewed or published in an academic journal, is deeply flawed. Lots of data is available that shows the contrary.
The number of children in temporary accommodation is up 60% since 2010.
128,000 children are living in temporary accommodation in Britain.
Correct for England. Across Great Britain as a whole, the increase is slightly less.
The Conservatives gave shareholders the power to veto pay policies.
The Coalition government did this in 2013, although these powers didn’t extend to actually setting directors’ pay packets for the preceding year.
3.8 million people in work are living in poverty.
This is the estimated number in relative poverty in 2014/15. Newer figures since put the figure slightly lower.
There were 99 daily deaths from stroke in England in October.
This seems to be based on figures from the British Heart Foundation. An estimation based on 2019 figures suggests a figure of 65 daily deaths.
Covid-19 vaccines didn’t make it past animal trials.
All four vaccines approved for use in the UK have passed animal trials.
This is not true. All four vaccines approved for use in the UK passed animal trials.
If women in the UK reached their full economic potential it would be worth £23 billion.
This figure is from 2006. Some of the gains may have increased with the size of the economy, and higher prices mean that the cash figures would be larger. Some of the gains may already have been achieved.
Home video footage shows that no planes were used in the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center.
The post shows the moment Flight 175 struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
This is not true. The video only shows the impact from one angle, obscuring the second plane completely. There is ample evidence planes were used in the 9/11 attacks, including many videos showing a plane hitting the South Tower.
If more than 250,000 people write ‘FREEDOM’ in response to a question about religion on the 2021 census it will become a recognised belief system.
To establish a recognised belief you have to win a legal claim in court.
This is incorrect. There is no specific number people have to reach to get a census output. To add a new protected characteristic to the Equality Act 2010 you have to bring a legal claim and win in a court of employment tribunal.
Vaccinated people account for a higher proportion of Covid-19 deaths than infections. This suggests that the vaccines are actually making the recipients worse once exposed to the alleged Covid-19 virus.
In Scotland, vaccinated people account for a higher proportion of Covid-19 deaths than infections. This has led some to claim vaccines are making infections more severe.
There’s no evidence vaccines make infections more severe. There are other reasons why vaccinated people account for a higher proportion of deaths than infections.
Only 5% of Northern Ireland’s GDP goes to Ireland.
Roughly correct in terms of goods exports. But goods exports are not normally measured as a percentage of GDP. 33% of Northern Ireland’s goods exports went to the Republic in 2016.
Young people are finding it harder than ever to own their own home.
The Prime Minister says that young people are finding it harder to buy homes. All the evidence we've seen bears that out.
Correct. Young people are less likely to own their own home, and the gap in affordability has grown since a decade ago.
Margaret Thatcher once said anyone on a bus over the age of 25 is a failure.
The quote appears to have been coined by a poet. It has since been attributed to Mrs Thatcher, but we don’t know whether she ever quoted it.
We can’t prove whether she did or didn’t say it, but she definitely didn’t coin the phrase.
Ian Austin, former Labour MP has said he won’t vote for Labour.
Correct. He also asked Labour voters to vote for the Conservatives.
In January 2020 a new EU law means anyone who has an offshore bank account will have to “come clean so we can see how much they are hiding”.
New EU tax laws aim to stop tax avoidance practices by companies. They do not aim to make owners of offshore bank accounts “come clean”.
Incorrect. There is no such EU law coming into place.
Scientists knew about the new coronavirus long ago and called it “Disease X”.
The World Health Organisation did not know about the Covid-19 pathogen before the current outbreak.
They didn’t. This is a misunderstanding about the phrase “Disease X”, which the WHO used to denote an unknown serious new disease that might cause a pandemic.
Serco received £37 billion of government money in contracts for NHS Test and Trace.
This is the total budget for two years of Test and Trace. Not all of it was spent, and only a fraction went to Serco.
Incorrect. The total value of contracts signed with Serco under the Test and Trace programme by the end of March 2021 was about £623 million. £37 billion was the total budget for the whole programme, not all of which was spent.
Sajid Javid claimed to be opening one of 48 new hospitals in August 2021, but it was actually a new cancer centre at an existing hospital in the pipeline years before Boris Johnson pledged to build 40 and later 48 new hospitals.
The new cancer centre is on the site of an old building at Carlisle Infirmary.
People's Chancellor - Economics For The Many
The new building is on the site of an old part of Carlisle Infirmary, which was planned before Boris Johnson pledged to build 40 new hospitals during the 2019 election.
Muslims who use living areas within their homes as a place of worship are exempt from paying council tax. This doesn’t apply to other religions.
Muslims who use rooms in their homes as a ‘place of worship’ aren’t exempt from council tax.
This is not correct, they wouldn’t be exempt from council tax. Places of worship for all religions can be exempt from business rates, but only if they’re officially recognised as such. The principal use of the site has to be worship.
The vaccines only have temporary approval by the MHRA.
This is essentially correct. The Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines have received temporary authorisations, while the Moderna and Janssen vaccines have received temporary licenses which offer the possibility of being converted into permanent licenses in future.
High levels of EU immigration mean the government hasn't been able to cut net migration to the tens of thousands
Net migration from other EU countries isn't the only reason the government hasn't met its net migration target.
The UK will be paying the Brexit divorce bill until 2064.
The OBR has estimated that the Brexit “divorce” bill will come to £37 billion and will be paid off by 2064.
Correct. The majority of these payments will be made by 2021.
Most studies suggest that immigration has no significant effect on overall employment, or British unemployment.
That’s a fair general reflection of UK research. Most studies show little or no effect on employment or unemployment of UK-born workers, but it can depend on the state of the economy.
Leaving the EU would cost the average UK household at least £850 a year, and potentially as much as £1,700, according to research released by the London School of Economics.
These figures don’t tell you how much you or your family would lose, but they point in the same direction as most other economic analysis seems to.
Net migration is the highest it has ever been.
Net migration is the highest it has ever been. The greatest annual increase in the last 20 years was in 1998.
This is correct. It hasn’t changed much since last year.
The FDA recalls 1,270 drugs every year that were previously approved but are then subsequently deemed unsuitable.
They may be recalled for lots of reasons including labelling issues, concerns about manufacturing processes or contamination.
The FDA recalls medications for a wide variety of reasons. These include lots of different manufacturing, storage, or labelling concerns. Just under 1,000 have been recalled in 2021.
Lower prices for families — competition between businesses across Europe means lower prices in UK shops, cheaper flights and lower energy bills
The studies cited emphasise how trade competition in the EU might lower prices but don’t look at how other factors such as EU regulation and agricultural policy might raise prices. It’s difficult to say overall what the impact of being in the EU has had on prices in the UK.
In effect, all money spent by Scotland on HS2 is returned through the Barnett formula.
Incorrect. There is no evidence for this claim. In effect, all money spent by Scotland on HS2 is returned through the Barnett formula.
The FDA says that hand gel causes cancer.
The FDA in America has compiled a list of hand gels that contain dangerous ingredients, substandard ingredients, misleading labelling or unsafe packaging.
The FDA has said that some particular types or brands of hand gel contain harmful ingredients, some of which are linked to cancers. However, this does not mean that all hand gels are harmful. The FDA and NHS advise that if soap and water aren’t available, hand gel should be used.
There’s a £2.5 billion shortfall in social care funding.
The Local Government Association, and several other expert groups, predict a significant gap in funding for adult social care by 2020.
The Local Government Association estimates a £2.6 billion gap in funding for adult social care by 2020. Other experts agree there’s a gap.
A photo of a wolf pack shows how they are separated in formation based on strength, with an alpha wolf that pulls up the rear and controls the whole group.
A Facebook post about wolf pack behaviour makes a number of false claims.
The image, taken from a documentary, actually shows a wolf at the front of the group, leading the rest of them. One wolf leads to conserve energy for the rest of the pack.
Apprenticeship funding is being cut by 30-50%
Funding rates for many types of apprenticeship will fall under new rules, set to be introduced in May. Some popular apprenticeship schemes for 16-18 year olds could receive between 30% and 50% less funding for each apprentice, depending on their circumstances. At the same time, the total amount of funding available for all apprenticeships will increase.
UK life expectancies have been growing for more than a century, but growth has slowed down considerably in recent years.
Incorrect. Growth in overall life expectancy has slowed down and almost stopped after over a century of increases. Life expectancies are falling in certain local authorities within the UK.
A little girl has gone missing in your area and police need help to find her.
This is an ongoing scam. Do not click the link.
This is not a real missing person case. This is an ongoing scam. Do not click on it.
Late diagnoses in A&E are due to GPs missing signs of the disease.
There is some research suggesting that GPs may miss some symptoms of lung cancer, but this isn’t the only reason for diagnoses following an emergency presentation.
Cases of food poisoning have more than doubled from one million in 2009 to 2.4 million in 2019.
The figures do not indicate an increase but are simply a “better estimation” of the amount of illness caused by food.
Serco and Qinetiq are owned by the monarchy.
The same image of an elderly woman being vaccinated has been used by the media to show a woman called Joan being vaccinated in Manchester and a woman called Susan getting vaccinated in South Africa.
The photo of a woman getting a Covid-19 vaccine has been used as evidence that the media is lying to people.
The picture is of a woman called Joan Burgess being vaccinated in Manchester. The picture appeared in a South African newspaper with a joke caption in part of the paper which is usually satirical.
This is a photo of Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness and Jeremy Corbyn together.
Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness and Jeremy Corbyn were both attendees of theLabour MP’s funeral in 2014.
True, all three were attendees of Tony Benn’s funeral in 2014, along with many other politicians.
There will be no cap on the amount people pay towards their social care under the Conservatives’ plans.
Correct at the time. Plans announced in the Conservative manifesto included no limit to the amount people pay for adult social care, although councils will pay when people have less than £100,000 left. However, since then the Prime Minister has said there will be a cap on the amount people will have to pay.
In London, stop and searches have similar ‘success rates’ for white people and black people.
The rates are similar, but white people are slightly more likely to have some action taken against them as a result of a stop and search.
Two billion was announced for social care last year.
Correct. This was money for the NHS in England and councils to “support social care providers and relieve pressure on the NHS locally” until 2019/20.
Nine of the ten most deprived council areas in this country have seen cuts that are almost three times the average of any other council.
The figures used in this analysis aren’t comparable over time in this way. But analysis by the National Audit Office shows that these ten councils have all had a greater proportion of their funding reduced than the percentage across all councils put together.
10,000 EU staff have left the NHS because they don’t feel they are needed or wanted any more.
9,800 staff reporting they were from the EU left NHS England between June 2016 and June 2017.
10,000 EU staff did leave the NHS in the year following the referendum vote (excluding those working in GP surgeries), but we don’t have information about why any of these staff left. This continues a rising trend in the last few years.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies, National Audit Office, Education Policy Institute and Public Accounts Committee all agree that per-pupil spending in schools will be reduced in real terms over the next few years.
The IFS, National Audit Office, Education Policy Institute and Public Accounts Committee all agree that real per-pupil spending in schools will be reduced in the next few years.
British old age pensioners who have worked for 45 years get a total yearly benefit of £6,000.
A British pensioner with 45 years’ worth of national insurance contributions is likely to earn at least £500 a year more than this, and be eligible for more benefits on top.
Net migration was around 160,000 in 2009/10 and now it’s at record high levels of 380,000.
Former Labour Home Secretary Alan Johnson was on Radio 4 Today discussing immigration.
The figures are wrong, but it’s correct to say that net migration is currently the highest estimate on record. Net migration was 336,000 in the latest set of figures, which count the year to June 2015. In 2009/10 it was thought to be around 205,000-240,000. An earlier set of estimates for 2009 (now revised) put the net migration figure closer to 160,000.
The government is giving the NHS 1%. Under Labour it was 4% every year.
Spending on the NHS in England has increased in real terms by an average of around 1% a year since 2010. Since the NHS was established spending increases have averaged 4% per year.
There are no biohazard bins used for PPE such as masks and gloves.
In some places such as hospitals PPE is also disposed of as clinical waste.
Clinical waste bins aren’t advised for most people, though they are in some settings like hospitals. There are also guidelines in place to make contamination from infected PPE less likely, and disposal safer.
The NHS has published its very first price lists for treatments.
NHS trusts can offer patients the option to “self-fund” a select range of treatments, if they don’t meet the criteria to have it paid for by the NHS.
The list in question was published last year and offers patients who do not qualify for NHS funding for certain treatments the option to “self-fund”. Some hospitals have been offering similar schemes since at least 2013.
66% of coronavirus deaths in Spain are from care facilities.
Correct up to May. This was reported by the ECDC.
Health Education England have said they can no longer afford to honour this agreement and many will be pulled out of full time paid work early.
Health Education England has said that student nurses who volunteered to work will be paid until 31 July, or until September if they haven’t yet completed the hours they need to qualify as nurses.
Lipid nanoparticles used to deliver the mRNA vaccine attack the heart.
There is no evidence of this. Nanoparticles, which protect the delivery of mRNA vaccines, break down in circulation.
A photograph shows a Ukrainian soldier wearing a Ghostbusters badge.
A picture shared on social media was originally taken by a Reuters journalist
The photograph is real and shows the badge being worn by an armed forces volunteer.
The government’s EU leaflet distributed before the referendum said that leaving the EU meant leaving the single market.
The leaflet didn’t say outright that leaving the EU meant leaving the single market. It did contrast the advantages of “full access” to the market that the UK has as a member of the EU with the uncertainty and lack of full access that might occur if the UK voted to leave.
A viral video called “Martinelli” will be shared on WhatsApp tomorrow. It will hack your phone if opened.
This is a hoax. There is no evidence the Martinelli video or virus exists.
Covid-19 clots the blood causing thrombosis, stopping blood flow and oxygenating the heart and lungs.
Severe Covid-19 can cause blood clotting problems and issues like this have been seen in Covid-19 patients, but this is not the only thing that can be fatal in patients.
1.1 million Brexit postal ballots are missing or rejected.
Over one million postal votes weren’t returned or were rejected during the EU referendum. A higher proportion of postal votes were counted than at the two previous elections.
No votes from the referendum are recorded as “missing”. Close to one million postal ballots weren’t returned, which can be due to a variety of reasons. An additional 170,000 or so were returned on time but not counted—mostly due to problems with identifying the voter.
Deaths among children between September to October may have been caused by myocarditis or pericarditis (inflammatory heart conditions which have been reported as a side effect of vaccination).
An article by The Exposé makes a misleading link between official statistics on child deaths and Covid-19 vaccines.
There is no evidence of this. The MHRA says it has not identified an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis among under 18s. Incidences of myocarditis and pericarditis have been rare and “typically mild”.
400,000 people in the UK are living with long Covid.
Layla Moran’s claim about people who suffer symptoms for 12 weeks or more is not accurately calculated.
This is not accurate. This estimate is based on a small sample size, and assumes everyone who has ever had long Covid still does.
50% of cases in some Crown Courts are sex cases.
Criminal barristers have estimated that 50% of Crown Court trials now involve sex crime. The official numbers we’ve seen don’t say.
We haven’t seen figures yet to substantiate this. We’ve asked the Ministry of Justice.
A network of Canadian scientists are making excellent progress in Covid-19 research.
At least one group of Canadian scientists has recently announced some progress in understanding Covid-19.
About 1% of the population is infected with Covid-19 today.
According to the most recent data, this is about right.
Only one terrorism suspect in the UK out of 2,000 is under a curfew.
It’s correct that, earlier this year, only one person in Great Britain had restrictions on his or her daily life because that person was suspected of terrorism-related activity. But that’s not a new d
This is true, but not new. Going back several years, there have only been a few Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures restricting the activity of terrorism suspects in force at any given time – sometimes none. The estimate that there are 2,000 “terrorism suspects” is not official, but does seem to come from people who know about the issue.
There are roughly 14 million people living in relative poverty this year. In 2000, there were roughly 14 million people living in relative poverty.
The latest government figures show 14.5 million people (22% of the population) living in relative low income households after housing costs in the UK. In 2000/01 it was 13 million across Great Britain (23% of the population).
ATTC VR-84 is a patent for Zika virus that comes from the Rockefeller Foundation.
This is the name of a certain strain of Zika virus, which was first isolated in the 1940s in a lab funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. This strain was not patented.
An actor was hired to pretend that she had been hospitalised with Covid-19.
A Facebook post falsely claims to have proof of a ‘crisis actor’ pretending to be a Covid-19 hospital inpatient.
The person in the video was part of a training exercise in a German hospital. It was not done to create Covid propaganda.
From 21 July to 25 July, 12 people died from Covid-19 in Spain.
Broadly correct. Around 10 people in Spain died after testing positive with Covid-19, so this figure will miss out some Covid-19 deaths.Correct.
An app will be placed on your phone without your consent and a QR code on the app will show your vaccine status. Shops and businesses will have a QR scanner that will indicate whether you are allowed to enter based on your vaccine status.
We have found no evidence to suggest any tracking apps will be automatically downloaded onto phones or used to trace vaccinations. There is no suggestion that people who don’t get the vaccination will have their movements limited.
EU members can be forced to leave the euro or the EU.
EU members can leave the Union voluntarily, but there's no legal mechanism for a country to drop or be ejected from the euro. Grexit may well happen anyway.
Countries can leave the EU voluntarily, but can't be kicked out. Strictly speaking, there's no legal mechanism for a country to either leave or be ejected from the euro.
A government document showing that 60-70% of Covid deaths over the summer will be among the vaccinated is proof that vaccines are intended for genocide.
Estimates that most people who will die of Covid this summer will be vaccinated reflects the high rate of vaccination, not any harm of vaccines.
False. This reflects the fact that the majority of elderly and vulnerable people will have been vaccinated, and the number of those for whom the vaccine was ineffective will be larger than the number who are not vaccinated.
Home tests for the new coronavirus will be available in days.
You probably won’t be able to buy a new coronavirus test from Boots by the end of March.
This was said by the director of the national infection service at Public Health England. However, medical experts and politicians have since said the new tests will not be ready so soon.
In 2017, the median hourly wage for women working full time was about 9.1% less than the median hourly wage for men (excluding overtime). That’s £1.32 less per hour.
This is true overall. The gender pay gap is 9.1% per hour for full time employees in the UK, or £1.32 per hour. It isn’t true just for part-time work or every individual age group, and the size of the gap varies across different types of job.
Up to week 47 of 2020, there were only 511,883 deaths in England and Wales, 20,000 fewer than the number of deaths in 2019.
An Instagram post claims the Covid-19 death toll up to week 47 of 2020 is 30,000 lower than it actually is.
False. Up to and including week 47 there were 542,463 deaths registered in England and Wales. Across the whole year there were 608,002 deaths registered, 77,000 more than in 2019.
At the windiest times onshore wind turbines generate 7% of the UK's electricity.
That was right in the first quarter of 2015.
EU law means that the UK will be covered by human rights laws even if we scrap the Human Rights Act.
It's claimed that laws protecting human rights will continue to bind the UK for as long as we are members of the EU.
This is correct. The EU now has a stand-alone system of human rights law, which would remain in place even if we scrapped the older, separate system set up by the Human Rights Act and European Convention on Human Rights.
Both female Prime Ministers have been Conservatives.
There are a record number of women in the House of Commons. Labour has the most female MPs. The Conservatives have had the only women Prime Ministers.
Correct. The UK has had two female Prime Ministers, both Conservative MPs.
You don’t have to follow the government’s rules after being vaccinated.
An ‘easy read’ version of a Covid-19 vaccine consent form for children and young people was wrong to say you could ignore the rules when vaccinated.
This was a mistake in an ‘easy read’ consent form for 12-15 year olds. The form has now been updated to make it clear that you should still follow rules and advice to prevent the spread of Covid-19 after being vaccinated.
A vaccinated pilot died mid-flight, causing an emergency landing.
A social media post repeats a widely debunked claim that a pilot working for a US airline died during a flight.
This appears to be based on a widely debunked claim that a pilot working for Delta Airlines died during a flight. There is no evidence this happened.
The C-17 aircraft filmed leaving Kabul airport was inflatable.
A Facebook post claims that decoy planes were filmed in Kabul, comparing them to the dummy vehicles used during the Second World War.
There is no evidence this is true. The post compares a video with a still image. Other footage of the aircraft does not show it moving in the same way an inflatable would.
Some recovered Covid-19 patients catch the disease again
The new coronavirus seems to produce a normal antibody response, which makes people immune afterwards, at least for a while.
There may have been some rare cases of reinfection with Covid-19, but most people seem to be immune afterwards, at least in the short term
“Real scientists” are trying to stop the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccines.
It is true that several scientists have argued that the vaccine rollout should be halted. However, their claims have been widely fact checked during the pandemic, and have been associated with dangerous misinformation about Covid-19 and vaccines.
The EU spends £8 billion on overhead each year.
The EU spent £8.5 billion on administrative costs in 2018. That’s 6% of its total budget.
The Chilcot Inquiry cost £13 million and the Leveson Inquiry cost £5 million.
Figures cited on BBC Question Time for the cost of the Chilcot and Leveson Inquiries are correct.
Crime has been falling and not just because of the lockdowns.
Boris Johnson said falls in police recorded crime are ‘not just’ because of lockdowns.
There has been a small drop in police-recorded crime, not including fraud.This was mostly driven by reductions in theft. Crime levels over the last year have been significantly impacted by Covid-19 lockdowns.
10,000 jobs have already moved out of the financial services sector following the EU referendum vote.
There is no evidence we’ve seen showing that 10,000 jobs have already been lost in financial services following the EU referendum.
We’ve seen no evidence for this. A survey predicts 10,000 jobs might be moved from the UK if we leave the single market. We don’t know what kind of Brexit deal will be made and the survey has additional limitations.
Three in four academy chains contain secondary schools which could be seen as 'coasting' under the government's definition.
It's too early to say exactly how many schools will count as 'coasting' under the government's new definition, but that hasn't stopped people from trying.
It's impossible to know yet how many schools will be labelled 'coasting', as it depends on performance in 2015 and 2016.
Covid-19 trial participants who received the placebo will be considered as vaccinated.
The Department of Health has said that Covid-19 vaccine trial participants (current and future) should be considered as fully vaccinated.
This is true, as the government has said it wants to ensure people who take part in the trials are not disadvantaged. In many cases, including the Novavax trial, participants who initially received the placebo will later be offered a vaccine. After the trial, participants have 16 weeks to get an NHS standard vaccine if they have not already received an appropriate one in their trial.
The top 10 Commonwealth countries take 8% of UK exports.
A man gave his girlfriend jewellery made from his own teeth.
Incorrect claims a man gave his partner jewellery made from his teeth stemmed from an online joke.
The photo was posted as a joke. An accompanying picture of the jewellery appeared in a Buzzfeed article five years ago.
400,000 more people are employed in the UK since the EU referendum.
Employment has increased since the Brexit vote, and the unemployment rate is 4.3%.
Employment has increased by around 450,000 since May to July 2016.
The UK’s EU budget rebate lasts until 2020/22
There is no fixed end-date for the UK’s rebate. But the EU wants to get rid of rebates for all countries that have one over the course of the next EU budget (2021-27). The UK could potentially block moves to remove its rebate.
There was a decrease in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in the USA in 2020 as a result of scheduled vaccinations being cancelled.
A Facebook post claims SIDS cases have fallen in the US by using a dataset which collects reports of a tiny fraction of the total.
There was a decrease in reports of SIDS to the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System but these represent a tiny proportion of SIDS cases. There’s no evidence childhood vaccinations are linked to SIDS.
Police funding has risen from £12.1bn in 2015/16 to £16.9bn in 2022/23.
A graph claiming to show a large increase in police funding fails to take into account inflation.
This is true in cash terms but fails to take into account inflation, meaning the actual increase in police spending is much lower.
Due to changes in validity since leaving the EU, your passport is now only valid for 10 years from the issue date on your passport.
This is the case when travelling to many European countries. Other countries have different passport requirements.
As of 2 November, case numbers are spiking.
At this point, new infections in the UK were falling. The total number of people with Covid-19, as opposed to newly diagnosed people, may have still been increasing.
The “vast majority” of those dying from Covid-19 in the UK now are unvaccinated.
UKHSA explains that this is because a larger proportion of the population are vaccinated than unvaccinated.
The most recent report from the UKHSA, including data from England, shows that there are currently more deaths in vaccinated, rather than unvaccinated, people. This is due to the high proportion of the population who are now vaccinated.
The Mayor of London has cancelled New Year’s Eve celebrations and will not allow fireworks but will allow fireworks for Diwali.
Although the official Thames fireworks are not happening this year, Londoners can set off fireworks until the 1am curfew as usual.
The Mayor’s New Year’s Eve fireworks on the banks of the Thames are not happening because of the pandemic, but fireworks in general are allowed up until 1am on New Year’s Eve, as they always are. This is also the case for Diwali.
The UK spends £14 billion a year on “foreign aid”.
UK foreign aid spending was £15 billion in 2019. Donations to the NHS Charities Together totalled £457 million last year.
This figure is slightly out of date. In 2019 the UK spent £15.2 billion on foreign aid.
The average family are now paying £1,500 more per year for nursery fees than in 2010.
We know that at the very least, costs for part-time nursery for the under 2s has been increasing—particularly in certain regions.
Harriet Harman MP, then Leader of the Opposition
The average price of part-time nursery for a child under the age of two has risen by this amount. Accounting for inflation, the figure is more like £890.
12 million people are on waiting lists for operations and treatment because the NHS is too busy testing healthy people with no symptoms for Covid-19.
The NHS waiting list delays are more complex than that, and testing happens in lots of different settings.
The current waiting list is 5.5 million, and this is anticipated to rise, with some estimates up to 12.2 million. There are a number of factors contributing to the size of the waiting list. Much of the Covid-19 testing happens outside of the NHS.
£4.6 billion was cut from the adult social care budget in the last parliament.
The Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition clashed over social care spending at PMQs today. We’ve investigated.
The report behind the figure says the actual budget fell by £1.6 billion, with the rest of the £4.6 billion attributed to more people needing social care and the cost of social care having risen. We don’t know how accurate these figures are, though social care spending did fall overall during the last parliament. We’re checking the figures.
British old age pensioners get a weekly spouse allowance of £25 a week.
A state pensioner may get an “Adult Dependency Increase” worth up to £68.35 a week if they have a partner who is financially dependent on them. They must have claimed before 2010 and it will no longer be paid from April 2020.
MPs are not following workplace Covid guidance such as wearing masks.
The guidance includes a maximum number of people in the chamber and remote voting.
Covid guidance for MPs attending parliament does not involve wearing masks, but does include 2 metre distancing and limits on attendance.
A YouGov poll predicts the Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn will lose his seat to the Liberal Democrats in the next election.
A YouGov poll did not forecast Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn losing his Islington North seat to the Lib Dems after 36 years.
Incorrect. YouGov’s poll was a national survey based on a hypothetical scenario, not a conventional survey of voting intention. The results should not be used as a ‘forecast’, nor can they be reliably applied to any individual constituency.
There were 13,000 knife attacks in London.
We don’t know what time period the claim refers to but there is data to show this at the time. The latest data shows the police recorded just under 15,000 knife attacks in London in 2018/19.
Options for post-Brexit trade deals with the EU will lead to between 2% and 8% lower GDP.
This is based on government analysis of 3 hypothetical deals, which explicitly can’t be used as economic forecasts and are very uncertain. According to the analysis GDP will continue to grow over the next fifteen years in each case, but more slowly than on existing OBR projections.
The Universal Credit helpline costs 55p per minute.
The Universal Credit helpline cost up to 9p a minute from a landline and between 3p and 55p per minute from a mobile. The helpline is now being made freephone.
This was roughly the maximum amount someone could be charged for a call from their mobile. The government has now announced that the helpline will be made a freephone number.
There are 13,100 more nurses on our wards.
We don’t have figures specifically for the numbers of nurses working on our wards. This figure refers to the increase in the number of nurses working in acute, elderly and general wards for adults. It misses out nurses who work in other types of wards – for example mental health, or those who work in the private sector, but are commissioned to work for the NHS.
The maximum weekly state pension is £141 in the UK, £507 in Germany, £304 in France, and £513 in Spain.
Pensions are difficult to compare internationally, and there are several different ways to do it.
The figures for the UK, Spain and France are in the right ballpark, but differences between their pension systems means it’s not a fair comparison. Germany doesn’t have a maximum amount for its state pension.
A new English language test has been introduced for nurses which means that some people who would otherwise have been able to practice can’t.
English language tests have been a requirement for nurses from outside of the EU since 2005. In January 2016 these were extended to include nurses from the EU/EEA. It’s been cited as one of a number of reasons, including Brexit, behind falling nursing recruitment.
The World Health Organisation confirmed that the PCR test is flawed and all tests with a high cycle threshold (Ct) are invalid.
It’s been falsely claimed the WHO said PCR tests are flawed. It said “weak positive” cases with high “cycle thresholds” may need to be retested.
False. It reiterated guidance that tests with a high Ct may need to be retested. There are lots of different reasons for high Ct value results. Interpreting them requires clinical context.
The EU wants the UK to pay £60 billion before they negotiate a post-Brexit trade deal.
Experts and a number of media reports have suggested that the final bill to the EU once Brexit is negotiated could be anywhere between €20 and €60 billion or around £50 billion.
We can’t verify this yet. Experts and a number of media reports have suggested that the final bill to the EU once Brexit is negotiated could be anywhere between €20 and €70 billion. We asked the EU who told us it couldn’t comment.
Children won’t be allowed back to school unless they’ve been tested.
This is incorrect. Testing in schools is voluntary.
Jeremy Corbyn wore a poppy pin that said: “lets forget”.
This image from a March session of PMQs has been edited to include the poppy pin.
This is incorrect. An image of Mr Corbyn at PMQs has been edited to include said poppy.
Labour’s spending plans would cost £1.2 trillion over five years.
You can’t work out the cost of a manifesto that hasn’t been published yet.
Labour hasn’t published its 2019 manifesto yet, so nobody knows. This is largely based on Labour’s previous policy announcements. Many of the figures behind this estimate are uncertain or based on flawed assumptions.
South West Yorkshire NHS partnership has not recorded any deaths due to Covid-19 between February and September 2020.
The trust provides community, mental health, and disability services.
South West Yorkshire NHS Partnership Foundation Trust
This is true and comes from a real freedom of information request. However, this NHS trust would be unlikely to treat people seriously ill with Covid-19 because it provides disability, mental health and community services.
A speech by the Home Secretary Amber Rudd has been reported as a hate incident.
A recent speech by Home Secretary Amber Rudd has been logged as a ‘hate incident’, but not as a ‘hate crime’. There’s a difference.
That’s true, but if someone has reported it to the police and given that reason then they have to record it as ‘hate incident’. They only record a ‘hate crime’ if they think something illegal has probably happened.
1,620 schools, most rated outstanding, haven’t been inspected for six years or more. 290 haven’t been inspected for more than a decade.
300 schools haven’t been inspected by Ofsted for a decade or more as they were last rated as outstanding, so don’t have to be inspected every five years.
Correct. 1,620 state schools in England, most of which were rated outstanding in their last inspection, have not been inspected for six years or more. Of these, 296 have not been inspected for between ten and eleven years.
The 2021 Budget reduced day-to-day health and social care spending by £30 billion.
Labour claims that the Budget took £30bn out of day to day health spending, this is true if you include the withdrawal of last year’s Covid money.
The NHS and the Department of Health will receive less Covid-19 specific funding in 2021 but its core budgets will increase.
Iain Duncan Smith MP gets free mobile phone calls.
MPs can claim for expenses for the costs of running a constituency office, including telephone and mobile phone calls for parliamentary purposes.
An increasing proportion of people will die as the Covid-19 vaccines are rolled out to younger people
A TCW article misuses data about Covid-19 deaths and deaths after vaccinations to make false claims about vaccine safety.
It is not clear what data the article draws on to reach this conclusion. However, it appears to use information from the Yellow Card scheme, which cannot provide a definitive link between vaccines and reported side effects, and misleadingly extrapolates this to the younger population.
Headline vote intention figures from a poll of North East Somerset residents have the Lib Dems at 28%, in second place behind the Conservatives on 44%. Labour were third on 14%.
Track and Trace is costing UK taxpayers £37 billion.
£37 billion is its two year budget, but it only spent £13.5 billion in its first year, which is less than expected.
That is the service’s budget for the first two years. In its first year, it spent £13.5 billion.
Violent incidents rose to 31,025, up 16%, of which 9,003 were on staff, which is up by a quarter in the year to March 2018.
In England and Wales’ prisons, drugs finds, assaults, and self-harm incidents are at a decade-high.
Correct. Assaults on staff were up a quarter from around 7,160 to 9,000.
A banana has been chemically ripened if it is brown spotted with a green stalk and naturally ripened if the stalk is black.
Claims that naturally ripened bananas look different from chemically ripened bananas are false.
False. There is no consistent way to visually tell “naturally” and “chemically” ripened bananas apart. Both can develop these characteristics.
An image shows Gogglebox’s Mary Killen in an earlier life as a model.
An image of a young model is not Mary from Gogglebox but glamour model Susan Shaw
False. This is a picture of glamour model Susan Shaw, not Mary Killen.
A 103 year-old Chinese grandmother has made a full recovery from Covid-19 after being treated for 6 days in Wuhan, China
This has been widely reported in the media.
The national debt almost tripled under the last Labour government.
Correct in cash terms, but after adjusting for inflation it’s more like doubled than tripled. Public sector net debt, adjusted for inflation, rose by 125% between 1996/97 and 2009/10 – mostly after the recession that began in 2008.
MPs are able to loan an iPad from the House of Commons. They can also claim computing expenses for their constituency office on expenses.
The Pfizer vaccine trial was underpowered to detect rare side effects or efficacy.
It’s true the study was underpowered to detect rare adverse effects although this limitation is typical of studies of its type. Rare adverse effects which were recorded were unrelated to the vaccine. The data in the trial also clearly shows far fewer children who had a vaccine subsequently contracted Covid-19.
If Lord Kinnock, Lord Mandelson, or Lord Patten began to publicly criticise the EU, their pensions would be withdrawn.
A viral post falsely claims senior EU employees don’t criticise the EU because they’d lose their pensions.
All three are ex-EU commissioners. None would lose their pension for criticising the EU.
The spike proteins generated by the body in response to the Covid-19 vaccines make people a ticking time bomb for cancer, blood clots and other ailments.
There is no evidence that they cause cancer. In very rare cases, there is a link to blood clots, but the benefits of vaccination generally far outweigh the risks.
This is not true. Some health problems have been linked to vaccination in very rare cases, but the risk from not being vaccinated is much higher.
People are putting tape laced with fentanyl on car petrol caps. If you take the tape off with your bare hands it will kill you.
Even if they were, touching ‘contaminated’ tape wouldn’t be fatal.
Full Fact could find no evidence that this is happening. Even if it was, briefly touching a piece of tape laced with fentanyl would not kill you.
Donald Tusk’s grandfather was a German SS officer.
Donald Tusk’s grandfather was not in the SS, but was conscripted into the German armed forces after time spent imprisoned in concentration camps.
Incorrect. His grandfather was Polish and was arrested by the Nazis in 1939. He was made a forced labourer, then imprisoned, and was then conscripted into the armed forces of Nazi Germany in 1944.
The number of people from disadvantaged backgrounds going to university has gone down.
On all UCAS measures, young students from disadvantaged groups in England are more likely to go to university now than any other year on record.
There are a number of ways to measure what a ‘disadvantaged pupil’ is, but on all UCAS measures young students from disadvantaged groups in England are more likely to go to university now than any other year on record. The picture may be different for other types of students, such as mature students or part-time students.
Currently, there are at least two or three women per week who are killed by their ex-partners or current partners.
Just under half of all women killed were killed by their partners or ex-partners, according to the latest official statistics for England and Wales in 2015/16.
Official statistics, and separate figures from Women’s Aid, show around 80 women were killed by their partner or ex-partner in the latest year they cover.
In the UK there’s a huge difference in wealth per person between the poorest and richest regions, compared to other countries.
The UK is about average among similar high-income countries when it comes to income inequality.
This is because of the way the data is collected, rather than real world effects. Using other measures the UK’s income inequality is about average compared to similar countries.
Most NHS funding is from general taxation, some from National Insurance contributions and a few percent come from patient charges.
The NHS in England is funded mostly through general taxation and National Insurance contributions. A much smaller proportion is collected through patient charges, for things like prescriptions and dentistry.
You are allowed to register to vote twice—once at home and once at university.
EU law means the UK can’t control the number of EU citizens coming to the country, but we can perform border checks and refuse entry to certain people.
Daily Covid-19 deaths dropped to “just” seven on Saturday 10 April 2021.
There is always a lag in reports of Covid-19 deaths over the weekend.
This is the number of deaths reported on Saturday, but may not reflect the actual number of people who died of Covid-19 that day due to lags in reporting at the weekend.
The Germans want a £40 billion Brexit payout.
The UK will have to pay an estimated £39 billion to the EU (not specifically Germany), as part of the proposed withdrawal agreement. If we leave with no deal, it’s highly uncertain whether or not we’d legally have to pay that bill.
Some hospitals provide TV for free, others for £8 per day. Prisoners are charged £1 per week to rent an in-cell TV.
In-cell TVs costs £1 per week for prisoners to rent, but they can be removed as a disciplinary measure.
In the 2016 EU referendum, 148 Labour constituencies voted to leave, 84 to remain. 247 Conservative constituencies voted to leave, 80 to remain.
Best estimates are that 249 Conservative constituencies probably voted to leave, and 81 to remain (based on the 2015 general election seat distribution). For Labour it was 148 for leave, and 84 for remain.
We are on course to have a death toll this year in line with recent years.
Incorrect. Unless deaths decline sharply, the UK death toll is likely to be its highest in decades.
The Covid vaccine will make you infertile.
This claim has no basis. Experts say that the risk of the Covid vaccine affecting a woman’s fertility is “vanishingly small.”
According to the Lisbon Treaty, in 2022, our fishing rights become owned by EU.
Being in the EU does mean the amount each country can fish per species is limited. Current policy says countries can limit who fishes in their waters to those who have traditionally done so. The Lisbon Treaty isn’t set to change any of this in 2022.
Help to Buy ISAs won’t help you buy a home, because you still need to provide an initial exchange deposit when the contracts are signed and you haven’t been given the government bonus at that point.
Since initial exchange deposits are negotiated between the buyer and the seller, it’s possible to negotiate them down. The seller can agree to receive the rest of the money when the purchase completes.
This is not entirely clear. Chevening is funded by a public trust that is not registered with the Charity Commission, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a charity and it operates like one in many ways.
Some government buildings in London are operating under sharia law.
Three government buildings underpinned a government-issued Islamic financial bond. The buildings are still governed by English law though, and haven’t changed use. Because they underpinned the bond they had to be sharia compliant.
Boris Johnson said a variety of outrageous things about Scotland and its resources.
Scandalous quotes about Scotland attributed to Boris Johnson were actually from a parody article.
Incorrect. These “quotes” come from a parody article.
Everyone is going to be issued a digital health or vaccine passport. If you allow them to vaccinate you and test you regularly, you will be given more personal freedoms.
This doesn’t mean that vaccination passports are planned.
A government contract has been awarded to create a Covid-19 negative test result certification app. This is not a vaccine passport.
Charles Bronson has recently assaulted Ian Huntley in his prison cell.
This is not true. The men are in different prisons.
After leaving the EU, we will take back control of roughly £350 million per week.
After we leave the EU, we cannot take back control of £350 million a week.
This is wrong, it’s more like £250 million a week. In any case the impact on the economy from changes to trade after leaving the EU is likely to be far bigger than savings from the UK’s membership fee.
Figures published ahead of the Irish referendum on abortion show only 43 women came from Ireland to have an abortion in England last year.
Around 4,000 women living in Ireland and Northern Ireland came to England and Wales for an abortion in 2016.
Incorrect. 3,265 women living in Ireland came to England and Wales for an abortion in 2016. 43 refers to the reported number of women from one hospital who came to the UK so far in 2017.
There has been a decade of efficiency savings in the NHS.
There have been a number of efficiency initiatives over the years. Trusts have been increasing their efficiency since at least 2008/09, according to official analysis.
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said that when Covid-19 is low in the community the risk of developing a blood clot for the under-30s increases.
What changes is the balance of risk—meaning that for some people the risk of getting seriously ill with Covid eventually becomes even smaller than the risk from vaccination.
This is not what Professor Van-Tam said, nor is it quite right. What changes is the balance of risk. When Covid is extremely scarce, the risk of young people suffering a rare blood clot after having the AstraZeneca vaccine might outweigh the benefit of the vaccine.
Under the Labour party 1.4 million people spent most of the last decade on out-of-work benefits.
According to 2010 research by the Department for Work and Pensions, 1.4 million people were on out of work benefits in nine of the last ten years.
Pretty Little Thing products may contain chemicals that can cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Pretty Little Thing states in its terms and conditions that some of their products may contain lead. However, it is unlikely the amount present could cause harm.
Correct, the state pension age in the UK is rising from 65 to 66 for both men and women between March 2019 and October 2020. It will then rise again, from 66 to 67, between 2026 and 2028, and then from 67 to 68 between 2044 and 2046.
Four males in Bootle took an air ambulance helicopter without consent (otherwise known as joy-riding).
A mock tweet from Merseyside Police falsely claimed four men took an air ambulance helicopter on a joyride.
Merseyside Police confirmed this is not true and the tweet claiming this was fake.
The Scottish Parliament hasn’t debated education for two years.
There have been several education debates.
Up to 93% of PCR tests are false positives.
This is wrong. It has been estimated that the false positive rate is very low.
There's no evidence of a big drop-off rate of apprenticeships.
The Business Secretary has claimed there's no evidence of a big drop-off rate in apprenticeships.
While the number of apprenticeships achieved each year has remained consistent, looking at achievements as a proportion of those finishing or due to finish shows, just under a third were unsuccessful - a proportion which has been increasing.
A BBC News article reports that breathing too many times a day could raise your risk of a heart attack.
Some social media users are sharing news stories, both real and fake, about possible risk factors for heart attacks to make incorrect claims about the risks of Covid-19 vaccines.
More children have died since Covid-19 vaccines were given to 12 to 15-year-olds, compared with the five year average of mortality stats from 2015 to 2019.
While statistics show the deaths of children, sadly, did increase compared to the five year average, there is no evidence that these deaths are linked to Covid-19 vaccines.
There are street prayers happening in London.
There are examples of Muslims praying outdoors, on streets, and pavements, in London.
Covid-19 and influenza reports are being combined.
They will both now appear in the same weekly document.
This is correct, but it will have no effect on the numbers, which will still be shown separately in the document.
When the UK leaves the EU, we can set our own tariffs.
Higher tariffs make what we buy from other countries more expensive.
Correct, although we won’t have a completely free hand to set what we want due to World Trade Organisation rules.
Coronavirus lives for 12 hours on metal surfaces.
We don’t know how long the virus can survive on surfaces yet, it could be between hours and days.
An electric car can self-charge as it drives by attaching a generator to the wheel to harness the energy as it spins.
The reason no one has manufactured a self-charging electric car is it would break the laws of physics.
This is not true, and breaks two major laws of physics. An electric car battery would deplete whether or not you attach a generator to the wheel.
At mobile Covid-19 testing units, 97% of results are delivered within 24 hours.
Incorrect. The most recent figure is about 61%.
The present government is continuing to spend more on foreign aid than any previous Labour government.
This is essentially true. Spending was briefly slightly higher than the present government’s planned target in 2006 and 2009, but no previous government has sustained it at or above that level.
That’s more than the £3,087.96 a Universal Credit claimant gets each year.
£3,087 is the standard annual allowance for Universal Credit from October 2021 for someone aged under 25 who is single. Claimants with children receive more than this.
More than 30,000 children aged between 10 and 15 now say that they are in gangs.
In 2014, 0.9% of 10-15 year olds in England and Wales reported being in a street gang. In 2016/17, 0.7% did.
We don’t know the exact number, and it’s difficult to get an accurate measure of this. In 2013/14, a survey found 0.9% of 10-15 year olds in England and Wales said they were in a street gang, which implies around 30,000 children in England, but this should not be taken as exact.
Golf can reduce the risk of early death.
Golfers in a study were less likely to die prematurely than other over 65s but the research didn’t prove that golf was the reason why.
Golfers identified in a study had a lower death rate than other over 65s but the research didn’t say golf was the reason why.
The government estimates that it costs £230,000 overall to get the average student through medical school. “The taxpayer” doesn’t pay for all of this because some comes in student loans.
This is the overall cost of training a doctor according to the Department of Health. It isn't the cost to the taxpayer. £163,000 comes in non-repayable grants. Students will repay much of the rest, whether or not they work in the NHS.
Christian Eriksen had a Covid-19 vaccine days before collapsing on the football pitch.
Users on social media are sharing false claims that the Danish footballer had been vaccinated days before becoming ill on the pitch.
False. The head of his club team, Inter Milan, has said Mr Eriksen had not been vaccinated.
Ivermectin is a safe and effective treatment for Covid-19 symptoms.
The Department of Health and Social Care previously told Full Fact that, based on available data, there is not sufficient evidence to prove that ivermectin is a safe and effective treatment for Covid-19.
The government hasn’t delivered even a quarter of the childcare places they claimed they would.
54% of the places currently planned have been delivered so far.
This would have been correct based on old government policy, but the number of planned places has been reduced since then. The latest figures show the government has delivered just over half of the places it expects to.
Professor Dr Tasuku Honjo, caused a sensation today in the media by saying that the corona virus is not natural.
Professor Tasuku Honjo said: “I am greatly saddened that my name and that of Kyoto University have been used to spread false accusations and misinformation”.
Incorrect. Professor Honjo has denied saying this and there is no evidence that he ever did.
It takes a German worker four days to produce what a UK worker makes in five.
Roughly correct in 2015. On average, it took a German worker under four hours to make what a UK worker made in five hours. Since they worked fewer hours each week, they took about four and a half days to produce what a UK worker produced in five.
11 million people don’t have a passport or driving license.
This is correct for Great Britain according to research from 2015 – there isn’t a more up-to-date figure.
Pepsi uses a flavouring made of aborted human foetal cells.
Pepsi had a contract with a company which develops flavourings using a cell line originally derived from an aborted foetus. But Pepsi says its own flavourings are not developed this way.
Incorrect. The cells in question are not flavourings themselves but used in flavouring development. Regardless, Pepsi say their flavourings are not developed using these cells.
The number of white people arrested for terror offences outstrips any other single ethnic group.
In the year to June 2018, slightly more white people were arrested for terrorism-related activity than any other group, although their ethnicity was recorded by police.
This is correct for the year to June 2018, although this is based on ethnicity as recorded by the arresting officer. The margin is small—38% were perceived to be white and 37% were thought to be Asian. 9% were recorded as black and 16% as ‘other’.
A record number of Britons are now in work.
Employment is up, unemployment is down and there are more people from outside the UK in work than before the Brexit vote.
Correct. Around 32 million people are in work, the highest since records began. Around 76% of all adults aged 16-64 are in work.
These images show a recently discovered new planet.
It is an imaginary scene generated by a computer programme.
These are computer-generated images, not photographs of a planet.
Testing creates some revealing anomalies: the virus seems to understand the soft border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, for example, crediting those to the north with a far higher rate of infection.
It is true that the UK is testing more than the Republic of Ireland. The Republic of Ireland had the world’s highest infection rate at the time of the claim.
The Westinghouse Springfield site produces nuclear fuel that generates 15% of UK electricity.
In 2015, the nuclear industry supplied about 21% of the UK’s energy overall.
That’s what the power company itself says. Overall, nuclear sources supply about 21% of the UK’s electricity.
Rates of Covid-19 infection were lower in England than in Scotland or Wales in January 2022.
This is not true. Rates in England were higher than in Scotland or Wales.
According to the Lisbon Treaty, in 2022, there will be no more monarch.
This is not true. There are no plans for the EU to remove the heads of state of its members.
The vaccines won’t allow me to stop wearing a mask.
From 19 July, the legal requirement to wear a face mask in indoor settings or public transport in England ended regardless of vaccination status. Businesses, including transport operators, can still ask their employees and customers to wear face coverings.
We are selling more to our global partners - £13.6 billion - than to the EU.
It’s correct that in April 2021 the UK exported more goods to non-EU countries (£13.6 billion) than to EU countries (£12.9 billion).
At least 50% of people who survive Covid-19 have debilitating health issues in the months afterwards.
The Washington Post claimed at least 50% of people who survive Covid-19 have debilitating health issues in the months afterwards. Official estimates are far lower.
This is far too high. There are various estimates for the prevalence of long Covid. The Office for National Statistics estimated that 7.5% of people infected with Covid-19 self-reported having long Covid three months after infection which limited their daily activities.
In January there were one million people in hospital who couldn’t leave because they had nowhere to go.
In January there were 7,100 people in hospital at the end of the month who were medically fit to leave but weren't discharged. Across the whole month there were 197,000 delayed days.
We’ve asked for the source of this claim, but it seems to be incorrect. In January there were 7,100 people in hospital at the end of the month who were medically fit to leave but hadn’t been discharged. Across the whole month there were 197,000 delayed days when patients fit to leave weren’t discharged.
Of all the positive Covid tests of the 9,000+ students at Cambridge University tested in the week to 6 December, every single one was found to be a false positive after a second test.
A higher ratio of false positives to true positives are expected when viral prevalence in the community drops.
This is correct for one week of testing. Of the ten group swabs which initially tested positive, none tested positive after a second test carried out later. In previous weeks, most positive tests were confirmed by later tests.
There are more women in the UK in work than ever before.
This is true, but it's almost always true: employment grows as the population grows. The employment rate for women aged 16-64 was also at a record high.
A former active IRA member is now serving as a Conservative party councillor.
Councillor Maria Gatland was a member of the provisional IRA in the 1970s.
Correct. She defected from the IRA in 1972 and became a Conservative councillor in 2002.
All of the animals used in vaccine trials died.
There is no evidence for this. If animals had died after being vaccinated, human trials would have been stopped, which they weren’t. It is common practice in animal trials to euthanize the subjects so they can be examined.
Between 2014-15 and 2016-17, killings where either the victim or suspect were involved in using or dealing illegal drugs increased from 50% to 57%.
The number of homicides involving a victim or suspect who was a drug user or dealer rose from 41% in 2014/15 to 42% 2016/17 in England and Wales.
This is based on homicides in England and Wales where it’s possible to say whether the victim and/or suspect was a drug user or dealer. As a proportion of all homicides, the increase is from 41% to 42%. We also don’t know the levels for any other years.
Older people are more likely to become ill with Covid-19 if they are vaccinated than if they are not.
A guest misused a PHE report, which does not show that vaccinated people are more likely to catch the disease
This is not true. It is based on a misreading of PHE data, which cannot be used to measure the effects of Covid-19 vaccines.
The Conservative government raised the armed services budget to 2% of GDP.
Defence spending has never been below 2% of GDP in the years we have data for. In July 2015, the Conservative government pledged to spend 2% of GDP on defence in every year to the end of the decade.
The Treasury loses £40 billion each year due to tax evasion and avoidance by the super-rich and the corporate elite.
There’s much uncertainty here, but that claim isn’t supported by HMRC’s own estimates. The emphasis should be on the word ‘estimates’.
That’s a long way off from HMRC’s estimates, although there’s necessarily a lot of uncertainty here.
UK GDP growth in the second quarter of 2018 was 0.4%. In the Eurozone it was 0.3%.
Last quarter the UK economy grew at the same rate as the Eurozone. Over the long term the Eurozone economy has and is projected to grow faster than the UK.
This was correct when the claim was made earlier in August, but the figures have since been revised, with both the UK and Eurozone growing at 0.4% in the second quarter. Growth in the EU and the Eurozone is higher in the previous 12 months than the UK. It’s projected to stay that way.
A post claims that the 1918 influenza bout had a deadly second wave after quarantine restrictions were lifted.
The 1918 outbreak is considered one of the most deadly pandemics in history.
It is true the second wave of the pandemic was the most deadly, but it did not happen due to lifting of quarantine.
If an unlicensed COVID-19 vaccine is rushed into use by the British government, then the vaccine’s manufacturers would be exempt from civil liability.
A vaccine manufacturer would still be liable if their unlicensed product was defective.
This is generally correct. EU law, which has been adopted by the UK, protects manufacturers from liability if the government decides to supply their vaccines without licensing. However, they are not exempt from all liabilities.
Under the new withdrawal agreement, Boris Johnson agreed to a 'level playing field' meaning the UK will follow many EU laws making us uncompetitive and restricting our future trade.
The level playing field is in the political declaration part of the deal which isn’t legally binding, and the UK hasn’t yet made firm or specific commitments to following EU standards. Northern Ireland will remain aligned to some EU single market rules.
Just 0.04% of Israelis who received the Covid-19 vaccination later caught the disease, but this doesn’t mean the vaccine is 99.96% effective.
The Pfizer vaccine has an efficacy rate of over 90%. The 99.96% figure is not an efficacy rate but the proportion of people vaccinated in Israel who did not later test positive for the virus.
98% of world trade is conducted through the WTO.
WTO members are responsible for 98% of world trade, but it’s misleading to say all of this trade is done “through” the WTO. Estimates suggest around three quarters of trade is done on WTO terms (not including trade between EU countries). Instead, many WTO member trade with each other via separate trade agreements.
Labour’s universal basic income policy would cost £504 billion.
Unlikely. The last air raids on Britain were in 1944, the same year most 75 year-olds were born.
The EU says chlorine-washed chicken is safe.
The EU's food standards arm says there are "no safety concerns" with the process of washing chicken with chlorine, but has raised other concerns about hygiene.
The European Food Safety Authority has said that there are “no safety concerns” with the chlorination of chicken, but it has also said this practice might not be sufficient for maintaining good hygiene standards throughout the slaughter process.
The Greek letter 'Delta' is pyramid shaped and the Phoenician letter for 'Omicron' is 'Ayin, the symbol for which just happens to be an eye. Putting these together creates the ‘Eye of Providence’, a symbol of the Illuminati.
Some dubious linguistics are being used to link the extinct secret society to the new Covid-19 variant.
The Greek letter Delta is pyramid shaped. The Phoenician alphabet equivalent for Omicron is, like Omicron, a circle, but does derive from an older letter shaped like an eye. The Illuminati isn’t real.
At the moment, Scotland gets more money from the UK government than it sends back.
True in 2016, although it hasn’t always been the case.
The last government repatriated 100 powers from Brussels.
Have 100 EU 'powers' been returned to UK control? Yes, if by 'powers' you mean specific laws.
The Lisbon Treaty, negotiated under the previous Labour government, allowed the Coalition to reclaim around 100 'powers' (specific legislative acts).
Use of public transport is only about 5% of its usual numbers.
Grant Shapps claimed use of public transport is at 5% of its usual levels, but government figures show it is actually much higher.
This is not correct. When Mr Shapps said this, passenger levels on National Rail, London Underground and non-London buses had all been above this level for several weeks.
The government spent £60 billion on HS2.
Almost—it was predicted to be £56 billion in total in 2015. The cost to date has probably been around £4.1 billion.
People who share then comment on a Facebook post will be given the chance to win a holiday.
An almost identical fake offer of a free holiday to Santorini has been shared on Facebook before.
This appears not to be true. A scam with the same words appeared two years ago.
A positive pregnancy test result for men could indicate high levels of hormones linked to testicular cancer.
Over-the-counter pregnancy tests detect high levels of a hormone sometimes associated with testicular cancer, but this doesn’t mean they can be used to identify the disease.
This is true in some cases, but pregnancy tests are not a reliable form of diagnosis for testicular cancer.
England kept £452.5 billion of Scottish taxes. Without Scotland’s money England would be bankrupt.
This ignores the fact that the UK government has some responsibilities for spending in Scotland directly and for areas of spending in or for Scotland. Since 2001/02 more money has been spent in or for Scotland than raised there.
A video shows Muslims in Birmingham attacking cars so they can break fast during Ramadan on a road.
The video is actually of football fans in Switzerland.
The video is actually of violence following a football match in Switzerland in 2018.
Two siblings won the right to marry in the US.
Marriage between siblings is illegal in both the UK and US.
This did not happen. The story originally came from a satire website using pictures of a British couple who won the right to have a civil partnership instead of a marriage.
One in three girls in school uniform has been sexually harassed in public.
35% of 14-21 year-olds said they had experienced unwanted sexual attention or unwanted sexual or physical contact while wearing school uniform in public.
35% of 14-21 year-olds in the UK said they had experienced unwanted sexual attention or unwanted sexual or physical contact while wearing school uniform in public, according to a survey for Plan International.
We spend nearly £50 billion on debt interest in the UK.
Interest payments on government debt are higher than spending on defence or primary education, but slightly lower than secondary education and the NHS pay bill.
The government’s debt interest bill was £48 billion in 2016/17, although it effectively paid some of that back to itself through the Bank of England. The government actually spent about £39 billion.
The number of mental health nurses has fallen from 46,155 to 39,358 [since 2009].
The number of mental health beds and nurses have decreased since 2010, and there are fewer psychiatrists in training.
This is the difference in the number of mental health and learning disabilities nurses between two different months which isn’t the best way to compare the figures. Comparing the figures in September 2009 and 2017 shows the drop has been larger.
Remaining in the EU means £50 billion more for the government to spend by 2024/25.
The calculation is a fair assessment of the best available forecasts. But those forecasts themselves contain a high degree of uncertainty.
This is a fair assessment of the best available forecasts, comparing Remain to a Brexit deal scenario. But those forecasts themselves contain a high degree of uncertainty, so we shouldn’t treat £50 billion as definitive.
58% of votes cast in the recent EU parliamentary elections were votes to leave, and 41.5% were votes to remain.
We should be wary of directly translating the EU election results into a poll on public support for leave or remain.
This assumes that all Labour voters supported leave, which is far from clear. It’s also not the case that all people voted for a party based on their Brexit policy.
Government asset sales are a form of saving.
George Osborne found £4.5 billion in savings to be made by the government, including asset sales. Do asset sales count as savings?
George Osborne MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer
While asset sales can reduce the reported deficit in the short run, they won't have a significant effect in the longer term: the government can only sell an asset once.
A video called “Dance of the Pope” shared on WhatsApp is a virus that will format your phone.
This is a hoax. There is no evidence the Dance of the Pope video or virus exists.
A video shows the last moments of the Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed killing 157 people.
It’s a video from 2016 of an Etihad flight that experienced severe turbulence but went on to land safely.
Incorrect. It’s a video from 2016 of an Etihad flight that experienced severe turbulence but went on to land safely.
About 500 lions have been released on the streets of Russia to stop people going out during the coronavirus pandemic.
This is a fake story that uses a picture of a lion in South Africa from 2016.
This is not true. The Russian government has yet to announce a widespread lockdown of any kind in Russia. The image of the lion is from South Africa in 2016.
There are 2.1 million A&E visits a year for self-treatable conditions.
2.1 million A&E visits in England received no treatment in 2016/17. It’s not possible to say from this how many could have been self-treated.
The food and drinks industry say they face significant disruption and economic damage if EU nationals continue to leave the UK.
Has the food and drinks industry said they face significant disruption and economic damage in EU nationals continue to leave the UK?
The UK's Food and Drink Federation has warned of this disruption, although we don’t know yet how many EU nationals in the industry will end up leaving the UK.
One photo from a recent protest has been edited to falsely show a Union Flag flag burning.
At least one image of a Union Flag burning was faked.
The IMF said the pound was overvalued before the EU referendum.
This is correct. Before the EU referendum, the IMF said that the pound was overvalued in 2015.
When asked about getting a good Brexit deal on Good Morning Britain Mr Starmer was unable to answer.
In the original video, Mr Starmer promptly answers Piers Morgan’s question.
This is untrue. In the original video, Mr Starmer answers promptly. His reaction in this video has been edited.
The robbery rate shot up by 10% in a year - more than any of 12 other nations examined by the Home Office
Broadly correct. The number of recorded robberies in England and Wales increased by 10% and the robbery rate by 9% between 2015 and 2016. That’s more than in any of the other 12 countries examined by Home Office analysis.
If you’re in a situation where you can’t speak, ring 999 and when they answer press 55. This tells them you need help but can’t speak. They will dispatch police to you.
If you can’t talk on an emergency call, this is what to do.
If you call 999 from a mobile and the operator can’t hear anything suspicious, you will be prompted to press 55 if you need the police. This will not necessarily mean the police will be dispatched. The police call handler will decide what to do.
Greenhouse gas emissions fell by 15% between 2010 and 2014, one of the biggest reductions in a single parliament.
The drop in UK carbon dioxide emissions was the largest since comparable records began.
One in three dementia patients are forced to sell their homes.
A poll found that 16% of respondents who said they had friends or family with dementia also said that person had to sell their home to pay for care.
Incorrect. A poll found that 16% of respondents who said they had friends or family with dementia also said that person had to sell their home to pay for care. But there are other drawbacks which mean the results are not reliable.
A picture of Putin holding a needle to a Ukraine balloon and exploding was created by the artist Banksy.
The clearly-edited image has been shared tens of thousands of times on Facebook.
A spokesperson for the artist confirmed Banksy had nothing to do with the picture.
The number of deaths in the UK from Covid-19 is just shy of the capacity of the Manchester arena.
There have been around 21,000 deaths in UK hospitals of people who’ve tested positive for the new coronavirus.
The number of people who died in hospital in the UK having tested positive for Covid-19, by 25 April, is around the same as the capacity of Manchester arena: about 21,000.
The UK's deficit is one of the highest in the developed world.
Latest figures forecast the UK to have a budget deficit of 3.7% of its GDP by 2015/16, down from 4.9% in 2014/15, one of the higher deficits in the developed world.
The UK's deficit is one of the highest among developed countries in the OECD, although it's difficult to get comparable figures that are all up-to-date for different countries.
People with white-sounding names are nearly twice as likely to get call backs for jobs than people with ethnic sounding names.
The ethnic group your name is associated with does have an impact on the likelihood of your success in job applications, according to research from 2009.
In a 2009 experimental study, 10.7% of applicants with a white sounding name received a positive response, compared with 6.2% of applicants with an ethnic minority sounding name - making them 74% more likely to get a positive response.
1,852 people died in one day in England from a heart attack.
This is likely not true. About 49 people a day die in England of a heart attack.
Construction of the Channel Tunnel cost £16 billion in today’s prices.
This is complicated, and hard to be sure about. We’ve seen some estimates that are higher, and others that are lower.
Former Labour government minister Shahid Malik said it was his desire for Labour’s Muslim MPs to take over parliament and the country and replace British Christian culture with Sharia law.
Quotes claiming a former Labour minister supported Sharia law are falsified.
A poll showed a fall in Conservative support following several recent news reports about lobbying and leaks.
The poll in question was conducted before coverage of a disagreement between Number 10 and Dominic Cummings, so this could not have affected the results, as suggested.
Some of the stories could have affected opinions in this poll, but the disagreement between Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings only became public after the poll was conducted.
At 16 we’re free from parental control, we can leave home, we can start a family, we can get married, we can start work, we can pay taxes, we can join the forces.
You’re legally a child until the age of 18, but the minimum legal age is 16 for some things.
Correct, although in some cases parental consent is still required for under-18s.
This is not true. Studies have shown that mask wearing can reduce the viral dose of Covid-19 someone might receive and can protect others if worn by someone with the virus.
More people are getting advance payments on Universal Credit.
The share of people getting an advance payment on their first Universal Credit payment is increasing.
Correct. Advances made on the first payment of new Universal Credit claims increased from 30% of claims in May 2016 to 52% in July 2017.
Not a single one of the four nominees to key EU positions was voted on by MEPs.
The President of the European Commission is nominated by the European Council, but must be approved by a majority of MEPs too.
MEPs don’t nominate any of the four candidates, but two of the roles (President of the European Commission and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs) do still need to be approved by MEPs and they are consulted on a third.
MPs can claim for food expenses if they are travelling away from London or their constituency. Also, MPs can eat in parliamentary bars and restaurants which are effectively subsidised with public money.
Spain wants money from the UK to cover its debts.
We’ve seen no evidence it has asked for this, and the amounts Spain receives from the EU budget are a tiny fraction of its debt.
There are 1.9 million more children studying in good or outstanding schools since 2010.
An increasing proportion of children are in ‘good’ schools, while a decreasing proportion are in ‘requires improvement’ schools.
Correct, comparing Ofsted ratings between 2010 and 2017. This progress has been influenced by Ofsted’s changing inspection practices—which refined what was expected of schools and placed a greater emphasis on inspecting schools which fell below this expectation.
Average UK house prices rose roughly fourfold between 1990 and 2020.
The number of police officers has dropped by 20,000 since 2010.
The number of police officers has dropped by 19,000 since 2010.
Staying in the single market & customs union would not cover services.
DExEU incorrectly claimed that the single market doesn’t cover services.
Incorrect. A necessary condition for being a member of the single market is accepting rules on the free movement of services across the single market.
Under the new withdrawal agreement, we have to pay the £39bn Brexit bill we don't legally owe.
The divorce bill is now more like £33 billion, and the UK would be legally obliged to pay it under the terms of newly revised withdrawal agreement.
We’re not sure of the timeframe for this claim, but teacher numbers generally did increase between 2010 and 2015, although the number of secondary teachers fell.
The Covid-19 pandemic was planned and was facilitated by the use of false positive PCR tests.
We have repeatedly debunked the conspiracy that the pandemic was a planned operation and PCR tests have a high rate of accuracy.
London is now one of the world’s most violent capital cities.
At least six other capital cities have far higher homicide rates.
30,000 British pensioners freeze to death each year.
The figure has also been higher in recent years.
About 25,260 excess deaths occurred in GB over winter 2018/19—a lower number than in recent years—and most were in people of pension age. Cold weather is a major contributor to these deaths, but there are a number of causes.
Food, clothing and footwear make up the highest proportion of the poorest households’ spending.
What makes up the biggest chunk depends on how you categorise people’s weekly spending. These items combined make up about a quarter of the poorest households’ spending.
Wages are up, in real terms, over the past year.
Reggie Kray was released early on compassionate grounds after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. His brother Ronnie died in hospital after collapsing in prison.
There have been conflicting claims over whether Universal Credit will "make work pay".
Department for Work and Pensions spokesperson
Overall, Universal Credit will strengthen work incentives for people claiming the benefit, the Institute for Fiscal Studies has said. But certain groups, such as single parents, will see their work incentives weakened.
Millions of people who voted Leave did not vote for Theresa May’s hard Brexit.
For the most part Remain and Leave voters do not have diametrically opposed views of what Brexit should entail, according to polling experts at NatCen.
We can’t know for certain. More recent polling could be used to show this—if being against a “hard Brexit” is defined as prioritising free trade over immigration control.
A woman was hospitalised with suspected Covid-19, only for her illness to be shown to be Legionnaires’ disease caught from a mask.
Legionnaires’ disease is a bacterial infection caught through water.
You cannot catch Legionnaires’ disease from a mask.
Pupils who both attend grammar schools and are entitled to free school meals represent one out of every thousand pupils generally.
It’s correct that grammar school pupils entitled to free school meals are one in a thousand.
Correct. The number of people in employment fell slightly between April 2019 and July 2019, though the employment rate is still at close to record highs.
Half of the shadow cabinet members are women.
Correct then and now. 16 out of 32 members of the current Labour shadow cabinet are women.
The word “robot” means “slave” in Greek.
GPT-3 is mistaken about the etymology of the word robot.
“Robot” comes from Czech, not Greek, although it is derived from a term for forced labour.
These children live in families struggling to put food on the table.
The data shows 74% of these children live in ‘food secure’ households.
The EU is demanding that the UK pays a £39 billion divorce bill.
This was jointly agreed by the UK and the EU. It covers the UK’s outstanding financial commitments and liabilities to the EU.
There are another 431,000 foreign born workers in the UK.
There’s a lot of uncertainty, and you can tell different stories about ‘foreign’ workers depending on how you define them.
That’s correct. The ONS’ best estimate for the number of non-UK born workers rose by 431,000 between the end of 2015 and the end of 2016.
The ONS has admitted only 6,183 people died of Covid-19.
This figure is the number of people in England and Wales who, up to the end of 2021, died of Covid-19 where Covid-19 was the only condition listed on their death certificate.
False. This figure is the number of people in England and Wales who, up to the end of 2021, died of Covid-19 where only Covid-19 was listed on their death certificate. In most cases Covid-19 will lead to another disease or condition before death.
Coronavirus lives on the hands for 10 minutes, but can be prevented with alcohol hand sanitiser.
It’s not clear how long the virus can ‘survive’ on hands, but hand sanitiser with at least 60% alcohol is a good second choice to washing your hands with soap and water.
Record numbers of teachers are quitting the profession, more than entered the profession.
Labour claims that record numbers of teachers are quitting the profession, and that more are leaving it than are entering it.
Slightly more people left teaching roles in state-funded schools in 2014 than entered them. Those that left include over one in four who retired, so not all of these people are "quitting" teaching in favour of a different job. The numbers of teachers leaving and entering state-funded schools in England in 2014 were the highest since 2011 (when records began).

This picture has been edited to show Nigel Farage wearing a gollywog badge.
The image has been edited to include the badge.
A court decision gives employers the right to check all the messages an employee sends from company computers.
A European human rights case is said to make a big change to employees' right to privacy at work. But employees generally may not be affected.
The decision was that privacy rights don't rule out employers checking whether staff are sending personal messages on work computers, in particular circumstances. It doesn't directly change UK law, which already allows some monitoring.
Mark Francois has denied the existence of a gender pay gap.
This is not true. Mr Francois did not say this. It seems the quote was fabricated.
More people are being caught carrying blades.
Correct. The number of offences involving possession of article with blade or point has been increasing in England and Wales since 2013/14.
Workers coming to the UK on very low salaries can claim over £10,000 in benefits.
At the moment it's possible for some types of working households to get over £10,000 in in-work benefits, including people from the European Economic Area.
It is possible for low-paid workers to claim this much in benefits currently. Migrants from the EU who work here have the same right to benefits as UK nationals, which may be difficult to change under EU law.
Remaining in the EU means we have ample supplies of fresh fruit and medicine.
Correct, although it’s difficult to say how severe medicine and food shortages – if there are shortages - might be after Brexit.
Options for post-Brexit trade deals with the EU will lead to GDP that’s between 2% and 8% lower.
Covid-19 vaccines could cause neurodegenerative diseases in young people.
The MHRA has told Full Fact there is ‘no credible evidence’ for this.
The MHRA has told Full Fact there is “no credible evidence” of an association between the Covid-19 vaccines and neurodegenerative diseases.
The UK gets more in EU research funding than it puts in.
The loss of EU research funding is a worry for many academics.
Correct, although the UK pays more into the EU budget overall than it gets out.
Alcohol-based hand sanitiser can become heated when left in hot cars leading to flammable vapours being released, these can then ignite in normal air conditions and set fire to flammable components in the car.
Hand sanitiser can only ignite at temperatures found in a hot car if there is a spark.
This is incorrect. Alcohol-based hand sanitiser cannot catch fire at the temperatures found in cars without a spark.
Dominic Raab posted and then deleted a tweet describing Scotland as a region of England.
There is no evidence he ever tweeted it and it was widely reported as a fake over a year ago.
The tweet seems to be a fake. There is no evidence Mr Raab ever tweeted this, he has denied he ever did and it was covered widely as a fake by the media over a year ago when it first surfaced.
The last Labour government once raised the basic state pension by 75p.
The basic state pension went up by slightly more under Labour up to 2010 than under Conservative Chancellors since then, once inflation is factored in.
Correct, but this was an outlier. That was the rise in the full basic state pension in April 2000. Looking at the increase in this payment after inflation, it was higher on average under Labour between 1997 and 2010 than under the Coalition and Conservatives since 2010.
Even the Government’s proposed new EU deal can be overturned after the referendum; it is not legally binding”
European law makers are expected to pass the laws necessary to sign off on the deal later this year. Once that happens, each part of the deal will be legally binding in one way or another. Many parts of it could still be challenged at the EU court in future.
£20 a week is about two hours extra work every week for Universal Credit claimants.
This is only true in very specific circumstances, and does not mention the fact that many people who work and claim Universal Credit are affected by a 63% taper rate, which means they receive 37p for every pound they earn. It’s true that some people could make back the £20 a week by working two extra hours, but this can’t be applied to everyone.
Under Boris Johnson’s tenure as Mayor of London, the murder rate was cut by 50%.
Under Boris Johnson’s time as mayor the murder rate halved, though we can’t say for sure whether the rise in stop and searches was effective.
Roughly correct. We only have figures for homicides, which include more than just murders. The homicide rate halved between 2007 and 2014, before ticking back up slightly.
The government knew before the Covid-19 vaccines roll-out that they would kill and maim and issued a tender for a surveillance system to monitor deaths.
This may refer to either an artificial intelligence contract the government awarded to monitor adverse drug events or the Yellow Card scheme which was established in 1964. In either case both are intended to ensure drug safety, and reports of adverse events are not necessarily linked to the Covid-19 vaccines.
£350 million has been invested in projects that will fall on the wrong side of the cut-off deadline for the Renewables Obligation (RO) subsidy.
We look into some of the available evidence on money that's been invested in onshore wind projects.
This much has been invested in some of the projects expected to qualify for the RO before the early closure was announced, according to an industry body. It’s not known how many of those projects will miss out on funding due to the early closure.
Twice as many children were admitted to English hospitals with malnutrition in the first six months of 2020, compared to the same period the year before.
This is based on data that is not reliable. We cannot say this with any confidence.
Nine in 10 major businesses in the UK have had cyber-attacks in the last year.
TalkTalk Group's CEO claimed on Radio 4 Today that 9 in 10 major businesses experienced a cyber-attack in the last year. That's an uncertain figure.
Dido Harding, Chief Executive of TalkTalk Group, Radio 4 Today
This figure refers to businesses reporting having experienced some form of information security breach in the last year. The survey it's based on isn't representative of the frequency of cyber-attacks in all large businesses across the UK.
In England we use an estimated 8.5 billion plastic straws each year, according to government figures.
This is based on an old estimate from an environmental consultancy of how many straws the fast food industry in the whole of the UK uses each year. The government has since said it thinks this figure is wrong.
Covid-19 is no worse than a bad flu season.
The number of deaths from Covid-19 far exceeds the number of deaths from flu in a given season, despite the much stricter controls in place.
This is a flawed comparison, as the number of deaths from Covid-19 far exceeds the number of deaths from flu in a given season, despite the much stricter controls in place.
Suicides have increased during lockdown.
It is too soon to know what impact the pandemic has had on the suicide rate. There is currently no evidence of a dramatic increase.
Covid-19 vaccines do not protect 5-year-olds or 12-year-olds against serious illness or death with the disease.
This is not true. Covid-19 vaccines do substantially protect against the small risk of serious illness and death in children.
The UK spends 0.7% of its GDP on aid, which is more than any other G7 country.
In 2017, the UK spent a larger proportion of its income on aid than the other G7 countries.
Correct for the UK in 2017, though it’s based on a slightly different figure that includes overseas income. Germany spends just under 0.7%, but slightly less than the UK.
EU law overrules UK law. This stops the British public from being able to vote out the politicians who make our laws. EU judges have already overruled British laws on issues like counter-terrorism powers, immigration, VAT, and prisoner voting.
EU law does override UK law. The EU court has made rulings to that effect on some, but not all, of these issues.
Vaccines pose a risk of death to the elderly.
Vaccine side effects are rarely serious, and the risk of death from the vaccine is much lower than the risk of Covid-19 infection.
High-quality butter is made from cream or milk. Margarine made from palm oil doesn’t melt.
We could not find a clear answer as to why the butter broke up and the margarine didn’t.
This does not match any of the pay points on the scale for police constable’s pay. Police constable salaries range from between £21,654 and £41,130.
Mandatory vaccine certificates are being introduced.
There has been no suggestion certificates will be mandatory across all settings, although plans are under discussion.
There is more money going into our schools than ever before—a record £43.5 billion by 2020.
That’s not a helpful figure as it doesn’t account for inflation or pupil numbers. Spending per pupil in England fell by 8% in real terms from 2009/10 to 2017/18, and will be held constant from 2017/18 to 2019/20.
There are 1,800 more midwives in the English NHS since 2010.
There are more midwives in England than there were in 2010, but the trade union representing them estimates that there’s a shortage, as has the National Audit Office.
That’s about right, although it depends when you measure from.
Legislation has been signed which sets in stone the repeal of the European Communities Act.
The government has put into force part of the EU Withdrawal Act, which will repeal the European Communities Act on Brexit day. But parliament still has the means to stop this if it wishes.
The government has brought into force Section 1 of the EU (Withdrawal) Act (passed in 2018), which states that the European Communities Act is repealed on “exit day”. In practice, repeal of the European Communities Act is no more “set in stone” now than it was in the spring.
Covid-19 vaccines have caused thousands upon thousands of life changing adverse reactions.
Reports of possible events that have occurred around the time of vaccination are made to the MHRA’s Yellow Card scheme. Just because they’ve been reported does not mean that they have been proven to be caused by the vaccine.
Israel has banned the entry of vaccinated tourists.
Israel has postponed plans to relax restrictions on vaccinated foreign tourists, who it considers to be less of a risk than unvaccinated tourists. Vaccinated tourists are not subject to more restrictions than unvaccinated tourists.
UK sick pay is 28 weeks. The EU does not set a minimum sick pay.
A million children have been gang raped and groomed in the UK.
We can’t objectively compare the public response to grooming gangs with Black Lives Matter
This figure is not reliable. It appears to come from assuming that the number of suspected cases of child sexual exploitation in 2018/19 can be multiplied by 30 years—which still does not reach one million. We don’t know what the true number is.
Queen Elizabeth II has ordered 80 Manchester United shirts and asked for Cristiano Ronaldo’s signature.
Or asked for Cristiano Ronaldo’s signature, for that matter.
There is no evidence to suggest this is true, and the account which appeared to first announce the rumour has since deleted the tweet, citing their inability to verify it.
The Covid-19 vaccines are not safe because people are dying and getting seriously ill as a result of receiving them.
This is not true. Although there have been some extremely rare cases of death or serious illness caused by the Covid-19 vaccines, it is much safer to be vaccinated.
Wearing protective gloves doesn’t prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The best preventive measure is still regular hand washing.
This is true. The World Health Organisation says that regular handwashing is the best way to stop the virus spreading.
New grammar schools may be required to set up feeder primary schools in poorer areas.
At this week's Prime Minister's Questions, Theresa May faces questions on how the government's new grammar schools plan will work.
The government is proposing and consulting on this option. Pupils' backgrounds are part of what makes current grammar school different from other schools, so proposals like this could mean that research about current grammar schools won't be a perfect guide to the impact that new grammar schools would have on social mobility.
Pensioners are getting £1,250 more a year than they did when the Conservatives entered government.
Pensioners who receive the full basic state pension in 2017/18 are getting £1,250 more in cash per year than in 2010/11. However, in real terms the increase is only about £558.82 extra
Pensioners who receive the full basic state pension in 2017/18 are getting £1,250 more in cash per year than those receiving it in 2010/11. However, in real terms the increase is only £558.82 extra per year, and only for pensioners receiving the full basic state pension.
Half of people in rural areas and many small businesses can’t get a decent broadband connection.
Just under half of rural properties can't access a good broadband connection, according to Ofcom.
That’s fair according to Ofcom’s definition of a good broadband connection. It says just under half of rural properties (around 1.5 million) and many smaller businesses can’t access a good speed.
Thanks to Brexit, the UK is no longer constrained by EU law, so homeowners having equipment such as solar panels, heat pumps and insulation installed will no longer pay 5% VAT; they will pay zero
It is correct to say that within the EU, the UK would not have been able to cut VAT on heat pumps and insulation to zero, though it would now be able to on solar panels, following new EU legislation due to be introduced next month. When it was an EU member, the UK was prevented from reducing VAT on solar panels by the European Court of Justice.
Taking statins cuts the risk of dying of Covid-19.
A headline in the Daily Express was wrong to say that statins actually caused a lower death rate among people taking them.
We do not know if this is true. A new scientific study found that people taking statins were less likely to die of Covid-19—but it did not find that the statins themselves cut the risk.
After the financial crisis wages fell until 2014 and then started to recover, only recently reaching the levels recorded before the crisis.
There are many more deaths from heart attacks, strokes and aneurysms than usually seen, as a direct result of thrombosis embolisms. Clots used to be rare but now they’re common.
The latest data for England and Wales shows that diseases to do with blood flow in the brain, such as strokes and aneurysms caused by clots are actually down compared to the five year average.
Claiming to be living alone is one of the most common types of benefit fraud.
Benefit claimants saying they were single, when in fact they lived as a couple with another person, was probably the fourth most common type of benefit fraud in 2016/17.
It was probably the fourth most common type of benefit fraud in 2016/17 where the specific reason was known, accounting for an estimated 9% of overpayments relating to fraud.
Vaccines prevent transmission of the Delta variant of Covid-19 for only eight weeks.
It’s difficult to measure the effect of vaccines on transmission, but available evidence suggests it’s longer than eight weeks and boosters are likely to increase that protection.
The average worker is over £1,000 worse off today than they were in 2010.
This figure compares wages for full-time employees between 2010 and 2020, not “today”. Other wage statistics show wages for all employees in July 2021 were worth about £1,480 more than in 2010 in real terms.
ONS data shows huge falls in non-Covid causes of death in December 2020.
Deaths in December 2020 appeared far lower than the previous five-year average. That was because the ‘five-year average’ had not been averaged.
The data was wrong. It claimed to show a huge fall in 2020 against the previous five-year average. But that five-year “average” hadn’t in fact been divided by five, meaning it was five times too high.
A no deal Brexit means no more uncontrolled immigration.
The UK already controls immigration from outside the EU. If we left with no deal, the UK would have more control over immigration from the EU—as we would not have to follow EU rules on freedom of movement.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics say you’re 32,000 times more likely to die of Covid if you’ve not been double jabbed.
An ONS report said the risk of death involving Covid-19 was 32 times greater in unvaccinated people than in fully vaccinated people from January to September 2021.
The ONS report actually said that the age-adjusted risk of deaths involving Covid-19 was 32 times greater in unvaccinated people than in fully vaccinated individuals—not 32,000. In addition, the ONS and OSR have been clear that the 32 times greater figure changes over time due to a number of different factors, and this figure should not be used to measure vaccine effectiveness. The Jeremy Vine show has since tweeted to say that the statement was incorrect.
The UK’s child literacy and numeracy rates consistently languish either at or near the bottom of every international table.
A Telegraph article was wrong to say literacy was at its lowest level in history, and that every international league table puts the UK near bottom for literacy and numeracy. Neither is true.
Various international league tables put the UK above the OECD average for literacy and numeracy.
China was the first place to have over 100,000 5G towers.
While it is true that China has over 100,000 towers, it is unclear if it was the first place to pass this number.
Local authorities are proposing 459,000 homes for Green Belt land, up from 425,000 a year ago.
Local authorities plan to build around 460,000 homes on the Green Belt over 15 years. That could cover 0.9% of the current Green Belt area.
This is uncertain but plausible. That’s according to the Campaign to Protect Rural England’s analysis of English council plans—typically plans for building over the next 15 years. The figures are rough estimates.
A new police officer in 2010 has seen a real-terms increase in pay of 32%.
Claims about police pay at PMQs aren’t likely to represent the experience of most officers.
Correct given the pay progression this officer would have received if continually in post, but this increase is unlikely to reflect the experience of most officers today.
Under Boris Johnson’s tenure as Mayor of London, the number of murders was under 100 a year for multiple years.
We haven’t seen figures to back this up. Available figures are for homicides, which include more than just murders. They only show one year when there were fewer than 100 murders.
Putting a doctor through medical school “costs the taxpayer” £230,000.
That’s wrong. About £64,300 of that comes in student loans, most of which the government gets back. The rest comes in grants for tuition, living costs and clinical placements.
The government has protected the budget for schools.
Identical comments under Boris Johnson’s post are bots.
It is most likely that these are genuine commenters posting similar messages on purpose.
A video of military planes is recent footage from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The clip of military planes is one of a number of misleading videos which have circulated online following the invasion.
The footage is actually from May 2020, and shows preparations for a military parade near Moscow.
The budget in Scotland has been continually cut by Westminster.
Panelists on this week's Question Time clashed over the Scottish Government budget.
It’s been cut, but not every year. It fell between 2010-11 and 2013-14 any way you look at it. Since then it’s risen or stayed the same, depending what you include.
40% of people in Glasgow live below the poverty line.
Living in a deprived area doesn’t necessarily mean a person is deprived. Around 48% of areas in Glasgow were among the 20% most deprived in Scotland.
We haven’t found this specific figure. We do know that 48% of areas in Glasgow were among the 20% most deprived in Scotland in 2016. That’s not the same as 48% of people though.
Osimertinib (the lung cancer medication) has been licensed in the EU for use since 2016.
Osimertinib has been authorised for use in the EU since 2016, but for use in later stage lung cancers. A sub body of the EMA has recently recommended that the medication be authorised for earlier use, but this has not yet been approved by the European Commission.
Three photographs show explosions in Ukraine.
Pictures that have been widely shared on social media do not show the war in Ukraine.
One of the photographs is of an explosion in Ukraine. The other two show Gaza.
Dog food bought in B&M and made in China has led to two dogs being put down in the last two weeks because it destroys their kidneys.
There is some association between dogs eating jerky treats and developing a kidney disorder called Fanconi Syndrome, but it is not linked to any brand or shop.
We have seen no specific evidence of this. There is evidence of a link between dogs eating jerky treats and developing a kidney disorder, but this is not linked to treats from one specific brand or shop. Many of the cases involve jerky made in China.
Every year for the past 10 years, 500,000 people who weren’t born in the UK and haven’t paid taxes signed up with a UK GP.
Immigrants who do sign up with GPs have almost certainly paid UK tax.
About 650,000 people a year, of whom most are probably immigrants, sign up with GPs in England and Wales. They have all almost certainly contributed to public services like the NHS by paying taxes though.
The government voted to allow water companies to pump sewage into rivers.
The amendment rejected by the government would have also allowed the pumping of sewage into rivers, but required it to be progressively reduced.
In January 2020, the economy had grown by 73% under the Conservative government.
Incorrect. The economy grew 73% between 1990 and 2017, under both Labour and Conservative-led governments. In January 2020, the economy had grown by around 20% since the Conservatives took office in 2010.
The NHS internal market, created in the 1990s, costs around £10 billion a year.
A widely-quoted estimate of £10 billion as the cost of the NHS internal market can’t be backed up by the evidence.
There’s no evidence to prove this. Research that arrives at this figure just estimates increases in admin costs over time, rather than trying to single out what impact the internal market has had.
Ireland’s test and trace system costs £773,000.
The Irish system will cost €700 million for the first year, not £773,000 which is just the cost of developing the app.
Incorrect. This is just the initial development cost of the contact tracing app, not the entire test and trace system.
Health tourism costs nearly £300 million on some estimates.
The EU puts a 30% tariff on cocoa from Africa.
The vast majority of African countries can export cocoa to the EU tariff-free.
Incorrect. The maximum tariff on processed cocoa is 9.6%. The vast majority of African countries can export all cocoa products to the EU tariff-free due to various schemes they’re part of.
The UK was the only G7 nation to reduce aid spending in 2020.
The UK spends more on aid than most G7 countries, although the gap will close in 2021.
This is true, but misses out the wider picture. The UK reduced spending by 0.006 percentage points of national income in 2020, but was still the second-highest spender on aid in the G7 that year.
A video of Bill Gates casts doubt on whether the Covid-19 vaccines work.
A video of Bill Gates saying we don’t know whether vaccines work comes from July 2020, when the results of the Covid-19 vaccine trials had not yet been published.
It doesn’t. Bill Gates was speaking in July 2020, before the results of the vaccine trials were known.
Self-employed people aren’t eligible for shared parental leave.
Total travel and accommodation costs for SNP MPs were £79,852 in the last 12 months.
A post falsely claimed that Scottish Conservative MPs spent far more on travel and accommodation expenses than SNP MPs. Average expenses per MP were lower for Scottish Conservative MPs than SNP ones.
This most likely refers to 2017/18 when SNP MPs’ travel and accommodation expenses totalled £1.3 million, or £37,000 on average per MP.
Closing the Renewables Obligation to onshore wind a year early could threaten 19,000 jobs supported by the industry.
It's been suggested that closing the Renewables Obligation to onshore wind could threaten 19,000 jobs.
There were about 11,000 people directly employed by onshore wind and 8,000 in 'supply chain' roles in 2013, according to government estimates. It's uncertain how many people will see their employment threatened by the closure of the Renewables Obligation
1.7 million people in Britain today are unemployed.
Correct, as of July-September 2016. Although the figure hasn’t been adjusted to take into account the time of year, and by historic standards that’s a fairly low level of unemployment.
Female wolf is acting as part of a ‘fighting unit’ and showing trickery and loyalty by protecting her partner’s neck in a fight.
None of the wolves in this image are female, and rather than working as a unit and protecting a partner’s neck, the cowering wolf is turning away.
This is wrong. None of the wolves in the image are female, and the wolf which appears to be ‘protecting’ a partner's neck was likely just to be turning away.
The UK government killing British nationals fighting for Islamic State in Syria is lawful under international law.
There’s no single authoritative statement of what’s allowed in international law.
It depends on how you interpret international law. Different states interpret it differently. The UK government believes it can be lawful in some circumstances.
Videos show flucloxacillin medication contains something that makes it magnetic.
The MHRA told Full Fact that iron oxide food colouring is frequently used in the shells of capsule medication.
We cannot verify the provenance of the videos, but the MHRA told Full Fact that the magnet is most likely attracting the iron oxide food colouring used in the capsule shell.
The government has produced a lot of information about the extent of vaccine damage including the Yellow Card scheme.
It is misleading to equate Yellow Card reports with “vaccine damage”. The MHRA is very clear that reports of adverse events after vaccination cannot be treated as confirmed side effects, as there is no proven causal link.
You’re more likely to drown than die from Covid-19.
This is not a valid comparison to make, and the figures it’s based on aren’t accurate.
The Tories have scrapped Labour's policy to cap class sizes at 30 pupils.
The cap hasn't been scrapped, but there has been a three-fold increase in oversized classes under the Coalition.
Care workers in France are being rewarded with a £1,500 tax free lump sum.
Those in the most heavily affected areas will get up to £1,340 and the rest will get up to £890.
Care home workers in France will get a tax-free bonus of up to €1,500 (£1,340) if they worked during the pandemic in the most affected areas. Those in less affected regions will get up to €1,000 (£890).
All non-EU trade through the port of Southampton is ‘WTO’.
Royston Smith claimed 90% of trade through the Port of Southampton is with non-EU countries and so under WTO terms. They’re not the same thing.
This is misleading. Much non-EU trade through Southampton happens under preferential terms negotiated between the EU and other countries, not on basic WTO terms.
A majority of 6,200 doctors said hydroxychloroquine is the most effective coronavirus treatment.
The poll was not representative of all doctors. 37% of doctors involved in Covid-19 treatment listed these drugs as among the most -effective treatments.
The poll the data comes from is not representative of all doctors. 37%, not a majority, of those involved in Covid-19 treatment worldwide said hydroxychloroquine was among the most effective treatments.
These unlicensed vaccines will be administered by non-medical staff, such as your employer.
The government is consulting the public on whether to change the rules around who can administer certain vaccines, which may include some people who don’t normally administer them, including some who aren’t registered healthcare professionals. It does not specifically mention employers.
Illegal immigrants and refugees living in Britain get a yearly benefit of £29,900.
Incorrect. People who are staying in the UK illegally cannot claim any benefits. People living in the UK as refugees are entitled to the same benefit and pension payments as any UK citizen. This means it’s theoretically possible for them to get that sum, but it’s highly unlikely due to the benefit cap.
There is no link between the severity of a Covid-19 infection and the chances of suffering “long Covid” afterwards
This is incorrect, based on the data Mr Hancock mentioned, which suggests that people who suffer from “long Covid” had more symptoms when they were infected, and were more likely to have visited hospital.
Vaccine risks for children outweigh benefits.
The JCVI has said that the benefits from vaccination for healthy 12 to 15-year-olds are marginally greater than the potential known harms.
40% of all day-to-day spending by the State now goes to the health sector
Health accounts for around 20% of day-to-day public spending, not 40%.
No it doesn’t. This year, day-to-day spending on health is forecast to account for about 23% of all day-to-day public spending by the UK government.
40,000 primary age children were taught in classes of 36 or more in England in 2016.
Human and animal cells from sources like aborted foetuses are in vaccines and are linked to childhood leukaemia and diabetes.
They may be used in certain vaccines’ production, but are unlikely to make it to the final product.
More than 10,991 people have died from Covid-19 vaccines in the US so far.
False. According to the CDC there have been 6,207 reports of death among people who received a Covid-19 vaccine in the US, although this figure is much higher when including people based outside the US or in an unknown location. Deaths reported after a Covid-19 vaccine are not necessarily caused by the vaccine.
You cannot have more than one person in a car unless in an emergency.
This is not correct. No guidance on car passengers has been issued although you are meant to keep 2m from people not in your household.
The current Covid vaccines are obsolete as they do not cover the new variants.
False. All the vaccines mentioned have shown efficacy against the main Covid-19 variants, albeit to varying degrees.
Parents are subsidising a new flagship "free" nursery scheme for three- and four-year-olds in England from their own pockets.
28% of childcare providers responding to a survey said parents receiving 30 hours free childcare (under a government scheme) may be paying for additional hours or services.
28% of childcare providers responding to a survey said that if they provided the new 30 hours of free childcare, there were additional costs on top for more hours, or other goods and services. We don’t know how representative this is of all childcare providers, and it’s based on a low response rate.
The government will be putting more money into the NHS over the next five years, £394 million more a week.
Spending on NHS England will have increased by £20.5 billion by 2023/24 compared to 2018/19. That doesn’t cover all health spending though, and of the money won’t come from a a “Brexit dividend”.
Spending increases announced for NHS England’s budget mean that £20.5 billion more will be spent on it in 2023/24 than in 2018/19. That’s £394 million more a week by 2023/24. This money doesn’t cover all health spending.
The average age of Covid-19 deaths is higher than the average life expectancy, which means that people who get Covid live longer.
In an allegedly leaked WhatsApp message, Boris Johnson appeared to claim that the average age of Covid-19 deaths is higher than the average life expectancy.
Alleged messages from Boris Johnson reported by BBC
This isn’t how life expectancy works. Life expectancy is an average, pulled down by people who die young. As you age, your life expectancy increases. People dying from Covid-19 lose about a decade of life on average.
The number of new Covid-19 cases each day is roughly doubling every week.
Government scientists warned that new cases could double every week, which some people say is not realistic.
This comes from the faster end of a range of estimates.
This is out of date and newer estimates put this much higher at £2.3 billion for 2018/19.
It’s likely that around half arrived between 2006 and 2014.
This is wrong, about 3.2 million nationals of other EU countries live in the UK.
Six people were stabbed in London on Saturday 6 July 2019, including three 12 year-olds.
That’s correct. We don’t know their exact ages, but the three children stabbed were reportedly all younger than 12.
85% of schools are good and outstanding schools, vs 68% in 2010.
You can’t properly compare the level of good or outstanding schools in 2018 with 2010, because of changes to school inspection practices.
This refers to England, and doesn’t acknowledge changes to inspection practices. A significant chunk of pupils are in schools that haven’t been inspected since 2010.
CNN reported the death of the same man twice, in both Afghanistan and Ukraine.
The report came from fake CNN Twitter accounts which have now been suspended. The photo used appears to be of a YouTuber, who is alive.
This is not true. It is based on screenshots of fake CNN Twitter accounts. The photo used appears to be of a YouTuber, who is alive.
Students from a deprived background in Scotland are half as likely to go to university as those from England.
Students from a disadvantaged background in Scotland are roughly half as likely to go to university as those from England. That said, comparing the figures for Scotland and England is tricky.
Coronavirus may have been genetically engineered for “efficient spreading in the human population,” a bombshell new study has claimed.
The Daily Express has wrongly reported the findings of new research which compared SARS-CoV-2 with other coronaviruses.
This is wrong and the study does not claim the new coronavirus has been genetically engineered. It simply compares the genome sequence of SARS-CoV-2 with other coronaviruses, and suggests a reason why it might be spreading relatively efficiently.
The average length of time for staying in hospital has virtually halved since the year 2000.
It hasn’t quite halved but it has fallen. The average length of stay overnight was eight days in 2000 and is about five days now.
Faster pay rises for those at the bottom are one of the reasons inequality has fallen in recent years.
Income inequality has fallen by some measures in recent years, but pay rises aren’t considered to be the main reason. These inequality trends are expected to reverse as a result of wider policy changes to taxes and benefits.
Ivermectin can cure Covid-19 in 48 hours.
A study looking at Ivermectin’s impact on the SARS-CoV-2 virus in cells in the lab found it dramatically reduced the amount of viral RNA in cells within 48 hours, which doesn’t mean it can do the same in people. Both the Department of Health and Social Care and the WHO have said there is not sufficient evidence to prove the efficacy of Ivermectin as a cure for Covid-19, and its use remains controversial.
Stop and search is achieving a higher arrest rate.
The number of stop and searches fell by 78% between 2009/10 and 2016/17, with the proportion leading to arrests rising from 8% to 17% in the same period.
Correct. The arrest rate in England and Wales rose from 8% in 2009/10 to 17% in 2016/17. The number of stop and searches fell from 1.3 million to 300,000 between those years.
UK fishing crews will see the price of fuel for their boats more than quadruple due to the removal of EU subsidies post-Brexit.
An old social media post, which is being shared again, claims that Brexit would cause the cost of fuel used by fishing boats to more than quadruple. This is not correct.
This has not come to pass. HMRC’s guidance on fuel duty for fishers has remained materially the same pre and post-Brexit.
Mobile roaming fees could return for Brits in the EU after Brexit after Theresa May confirms exit from bloc’s digital market.
After Brexit, the UK will no longer be subject to EU laws which prohibit mobile roaming fees within the EU.
Correct. EU regulations mean we can’t currently be charged roaming fees within the EU. After Brexit, we'll no longer be subject to these regulations. It’s unclear if UK mobile companies will bring back roaming charges, nor if a UK-EU roaming regulation agreement can be reached.
There’s been an increase in the number of EU staff in the NHS since the referendum.
Around 4,400 more EU nationals worked for the NHS in England in June 2018, compared to June 2016. But some of the increase could be down to more staff reporting their nationality. The proportion of staff who report they are EU nationals is about the same in 2018 as in 2016.
There was some concern in the 1960s that some viruses were contaminated with SV40. No vaccine has been found to contain it since 1963, and there’s no evidence it caused cancer as some claimed.
The UK government is skewing data collected in a public consultation on lockdown measures.
An anti-lockdown group heavily criticised the survey, which was run by YouGov, not the UK government.
There is no such government consultation on lockdown measures. The survey described is actually run by YouGov, which is not part of the UK government.
A black-and-white photograph of a crowded railway station looks like it could have been taken in 1941, but actually shows a scene from Ukraine in March 2022.
A black-and-white version has been shared, making it look like a scene from the Second World War
A little girl called Alice has been kidnapped from various areas in the UK.
This is not a legitimate missing person case. It is a phishing scam.
Penalty charge notices are usually issued by the police or councils, while parking charge notices are invoices issued by private companies.
Ketchup tested positive for Covid-19 using a lateral flow test.
You’re more likely to get a false negative than a false positive from a lateral flow test.
This is inaccurate. The ketchup appears to have broken the test, which doesn’t mean tests are inaccurate when used correctly in people. Evidence shows you are more likely to get a false negative result than a false positive using this type of test.
False. Some of the coronavirus vaccines use mRNA, which instructs the body on how to build immune proteins called antibodies against SARS-Cov-2 (the virus that causes Covid-19). They do not change, or interact with your DNA.
The Conservatives are giving a record £14 billion to schools.
Once you account for inflation the increase between 2019/20 and 2022/23 is £4.3 billion in England. This isn’t a record increase in terms of spending per pupil (which is the most meaningful measure).
A picture of Jeremy Corbyn with a man reproduced on the MailOnline website claiming to show him on 26 May 2020, is actually from 2016.
The photo is from 2020 as the Mail claimed and first appeared on a Facebook group for canal boat owners.
This picture was not taken in 2016, it seems to have been taken on 26 May 2020 as reported.
Real wages have been growing faster recently than at any time in the past decade.
Real-terms total pay in Great Britain grew by 0.8% in the year to September 2018.
Incorrect. Across Great Britain real wages are growing by about 1% annually—the fastest rate in around two years.
The studies into Covid-19 vaccines are too short to see if there are late effects. There were narcolepsy cases after the swine flu vaccination, and similarly this vaccine could put millions at risk.
It’s true that the swine flu vaccine was associated with a small increase in the risk of narcolepsy in children and young people. But the vaccine’s effects will continue to be monitored as it is rolled out, and so far it is not being given to children.
Britain has the highest rate of cocaine use among young adults in Europe.
We don’t have recent data for all European countries, but it’s likely – the percentage of 16-24 year olds in England and Wales who had taken cocaine in the past year exceeds all other countries we have data for.
Theresa May said sex offenders including paedophiles should be allowed to adopt.
An academic wrote a report proposing the change in 2010, but that wasn’t backed by the government.
She never said this. An academic wrote an article saying this when Theresa May was Home Secretary.
British exports are up while EU imports are down.
This is correct for goods. Data on services for April 2021 is not yet available.
Drinking lemon mixed with hot water for one to three months will cause cancer to disappear.
There’s no scientific evidence to show lemons or lemon juice can cure cancer.
The hardest hit by austerity have obviously been the most vulnerable in society.
Austerity policies have impacted the poorest households most. Despite this, since 2010 the poorest households have seen their post-tax incomes rise the most.
That's correct according to various analyses of tax and benefit policies. But the poorest UK households have also seen their post-tax incomes rise faster than any other group since 2010.
Over 3 million UK jobs are linked to our exports to the EU - that’s one in every ten UK jobs.
Estimates show around 3 million jobs are linked to our trade with other EU countries, but don’t tell us anything about the number of jobs linked to British membership of the EU. Nobody is forecasting that these 3 million jobs would be lost if we left the EU.
Official NHS data to 16 July shows there were 1,379 Covid-19 deaths in which there were no pre-existing conditions.
That is how many people without pre-existing conditions died in hospitals in England having had Covid-19, as of 16 July.
No country currently has a functioning track and trace app.
Boris Johnson claimed no country currently has a functioning Covid-19 track and trace app.
Multiple countries have launched apps, including Germany, France, Australia, Singapore and Latvia. However uptake has been fairly low, and it’s too early to say whether they will be effective in helping combat Covid-19.
A video suggests the Kabul airport footage of people running alongside a plane is faked as the people aren’t being blown over.
The fact people are not being blown over is no evidence the footage is faked, as suggested.
There is no evidence the footage is faked.
When travel to Spain resumes, you will not need to have been vaccinated, you will only need a negative Covid-19 test taken in the 72 hours before arrival.
It doesn’t appear as if confirmation of vaccination will be mandatory, though Spain is planning on introducing vaccination passports.
Correct, based on the current rules, which may change. Spain has indicated that it may introduce vaccine passports but that these will not be compulsory. A negative Covid test is required.
We hit 10,000 tests a day by the end of March.
We don’t know. Fewer than 10,000 people were tested on each day in March, but that could have involved more than 10,000 tests. Data on the number of tests only started to be published in full on 6 April.
If you see someone trick or treating carrying a blue pumpkin, it could be a sign they’re autistic.
A post about blue pumpkins went viral on Facebook, but it’s not clear if the autism community widely supports the campaign.
The blue pumpkins are not an official campaign, but have been embraced by some people (mostly, it seems in America).
A memo from Imperial College London sets out plans for a permanent lockdown of the UK.
The memo allegedly sets out plans for a permanent lockdown of the UK but has no credible source and makes false claims.
A leaked letter shows the government has a deliberate plan to damage the economy with the help of a public health campaign.
A letter falsely claiming to come from the Cabinet Office has been widely shared.
The number of doctors in specialist psychiatry training fell from 3,187 in 2009 to 2,588 in the first quarter of this year.
This 20% drop was between September 2009 and March 2018, which isn’t a fair comparison. Comparing September 2009 and 2017 there was a 15% decrease.
Smokers will be able to get e-cigarettes on NHS prescription.
Today's review of the evidence on e-cigarettes puts NHS prescription on the agenda, but there's more to it than this one recommendation.
Public Health England has put this idea on the agenda in a new report, but doesn't have the power to decide. The idea might be taken up, but it'll be a while.
400,000 more children are in absolute poverty under the Conservatives.
It’s not correct that absolute child poverty has risen by this much since 2010.
This is wrong. The exact change in child poverty under the Conservatives depends on the year you compare from, but none of the absolute measures shows this. Relative child poverty was estimated to have risen by 400,000 between 2010/11 and 2015/16—both including and excluding housing costs.
There is a risk of autoimmune disease, strokes, seizures, convulsions and other side effects from the vaccines.
The vaccines cause mild, transient side effects such as arm pain or fatigue for most people. There isn’t much evidence linking the vaccines directly to more severe side effects. Possible reported side effects are continually monitored to detect such links.
Local authorities are bringing in less money in council tax at the moment than they're spending out just in vulnerable adult and children care alone.
Increases in council tax aren’t enough to meet the demand for social care. Experts point to a lack of council funding from central government.
Council tax revenues raised in England in 2017/18 were £500 million less than the adult and children’s social care budget for councils in the same year, according to the Local Government Association. Government data suggests council tax revenue was £5 billion higher. The main source of council budgets is money from central government, which has been falling in recent years.
On 16 February 2021, the front page of the Metro newspaper reported on concerns about Covid-19 vaccines.
This is a fake front page. The Metro did not say this.
Anyone facing financial hardship with less than £4 on a prepaid energy meter can call and ask for a £49 fuel voucher twice a year.
Claims that struggling households are entitled to almost £100 in fuel vouchers annually have been shared thousands of times.
This is not an established scheme across the UK. Financial support with energy bills is available but the claim that everyone is entitled to a £49 voucher twice a year is incorrect.
Every five minutes, 70 children will be born in the UK, 20 to mothers not born here.
About 775,000 children were born in the UK in 2016, 210,000 to non-UK born mothers. Net migration was at around 245,000 in the year to September 2017.
Incorrect. In 2016 the equivalent of around seven children were born every five minutes, of whom around two were born to mothers not born in the UK.
Roughly 40% of people on welfare are pensioners, and 10% or 20% are taking in-work benefits.
There aren't readily-available estimates for the proportion of all welfare claimants who are pensioners or of working age.
We haven’t found figures to back this up. Around 56% of all welfare spending in Great Britain went to pensioners in 2016/17, counting pensions as part of the welfare bill.
Children aren’t affected by Covid-19 and don’t transmit the virus.
This is not true. Children are less affected but some can still become seriously ill or die. They do transmit the virus.
The UK delivers 69% of the EU’s world trade surplus.
The UK accounts for 69% of the EU’s goods trade surplus—but that’s a figure which could be misleading unless you understand exactly how it’s calculated.
This is correct for trade in goods but does not include trade in services. It’s also a figure which could be misleading unless you understand exactly how it’s calculated.
Waitrose is giving away boxes of food that’s about to expire and to win you must share and comment on the post.
A Facebook page that’s less than a month old claims those who share or comment on a post will receive a £50 box of food.
The page claiming this is not affiliated with Waitrose and there is no prize.
Since 2010, coalition and Conservative governments have aimed to reduce public spending through tax and benefit changes. 86% of those changes come from spending on women.
The House of Commons Library estimates that, looking at all changes to taxes and benefits from 2010-2017, 86% of the reduction in government spending is in spending on women. This is based on which person in a household receives a benefit or is taxed, so doesn’t factor in the “indirect” impact on partners and household budgets.
William Wilberforce, the MP who campaigned to abolish slavery, was a Tory.
Abolitionist William Wilberforce was an independent MP, not a Tory MP, though he was fairly loyal to the Tory Prime Minister, Pitt the Younger.

60% of our trade is through EU trade agreements.
Just over half of UK exports were done via EU trade agreements in 2016. 43% of exports went to EU member states.
In 2016, around 54% of UK exports went to states with which the EU had a full or provisional trade agreement (including EU member states).
Part of the reason the UK is experiencing such high gas prices right now is because of Brexit, and the UK leaving the Internal Energy Market.
There are a number of factors at play but leaving the Internal Energy Market is unlikely to be a significant one.
There is not evidence that this is a significant factor in higher wholesale gas prices in the UK at the moment.
8.4 million people are watching S4C every week in the UK.
Minister says twice as many people watch Welsh language TV as live in Wales.
S4C's annual report actually says 578,000.
This is roughly correct according to NHS figures from 2014.
650,000 jobs in London are dependent on the single market.
Figures on this subject don't tell us how many jobs would actually be lost if we left the EU.
This is wrong. Treasury estimates suggest this many jobs in London are associated with exports to the EU.
The OECD says that the UK has the most efficient, accessible healthcare system.
Incorrect. The OECD says that the UK’s healthcare efficiency is weak.
Doctors and scientists are recommending people not to take the vaccine.
Far more doctors and scientists are recommending people to take the vaccine than to not take it.
UK is testing more people for Covid-19 than any country other than China and Italy.
There is no centralised data on the number of Covid-19 tests being conducted across the world.
This is incorrect. As at 13 March, the latest data available when this claim was made, the UK ranked fifth (behind China, South Korea, Italy and Russia) for the number of Covid-19 tests carried out. These statistics only included the 38 countries and regions with official data on Covid-19 tests at that time.
This deadline has changed. It was 23 June when the data collection date was 1 July, but the collection date has now changed to 1 September. NHS Digital says you need to return the opt out form to your GP to be processed ahead of this date.
The Home Office set a target to cut immigration down to the tens of thousands.
Governments since 2010 have set a target to reduce net migration to the tens of thousands, and this target has never been met.
This is correct, referring to net migration rather than just immigration. Governments since 2010 have continually mentioned this figure, though it’s not clear if it is still in place.
Disadvantaged children who go to grammar school progress twice as fast than their better-off peers.
Poor children in particular seem to do particularly well at grammar schools (if they attend in the first place).
That’s the finding of one study, from 2004. The relatively few poor children who attend grammar schools seem to progress more than wealthier children, but those in the schools around them perform worse.
You can receive no fine and a 12 month suspended sentence for possessing 10,000 indecent images of children.
We can’t find a specific case this is referring to, but it is a possibility depending on the nature of the offences.
The 2020/21 budget for Test and Trace in England is £22 billion, but only £4 billion was spent by the end of October 2020. Most of this is spending on testing, rather than tracing.
The Supreme Court is a member of the network of the Presidents of the Supreme Judicial Courts of the EU.
Joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) has the potential to boost GDP by up to £20 billion a year.
This is based on government modelling which assumes the US also joins the bloc, which it has indicated it will not do, at least at the moment.
Immigrants/refugees living in the UK get a weekly allowance of £250.
Incorrect. People given refugee status in the UK are not entitled to any special allowances, but can claim the same benefits as any UK citizen. Asylum seekers are entitled to £37.75 per week and accommodation if they are homeless and can’t afford food.
Promises of investment in Wales for electrification and a tidal lagoon have now been withdrawn.
Has the government withdrawn promises of investment in Wales for electrification and a tidal lagoon?
The planned electrification of the Great Western main line between Swansea and Cardiff has been cancelled, as has a planned tidal lagoon in Swansea Bay.
The so-called “Nigerian variant” of Covid-19 is twice as deadly as the dominant “Kent variant”.
Although current data demonstrates a higher mortality rate for this Covid-19 variant, this is based on small numbers.
This reflects the number of deaths among the small number of cases from the “Nigerian variant” detected so far. At the time of writing there is not enough data to know whether this variant is more deadly or not.
The majority of Britons say the police have lost control of the streets.
43% of British adults polled said their police force was excellent or good and a majority said they felt safe on their streets.
A poll of 2,000 people in Great Britain found that 57% agreed with this statement. The poll also found that 43% said their police force was excellent or good and a majority said they felt safe on their streets.
90% of people in ICU with Covid-19 have not been vaccinated.
Around 90% of Covid ICU admissions have not received a booster, but only about 61% are not vaccinated at all.
This is not supported by the latest evidence, which shows that 61% of admissions in the first half of December 2021 were unvaccinated people. Around 90% had not received a booster dose.
We can't attract junior doctors from around the world because they won’t actually earn enough to meet the minimum income requirements.
In December 2017, a non-EEA junior doctor needed to be earning £55,000 in order to get a visa for the UK.
A first-year junior doctor typically earns £26,500, rising to £31,000 in their second year. To get a visa, most non-EEA junior doctors usually have to be earning £30,000, or £20,800 if they’re under 26. However, at the end of 2017 the threshold was effectively £55,000.
A police officer’s starting salary was £24,000 in 2010 and £23,000 in 2018.
This doesn’t factor in inflation. In 2018 prices, the starting salary fell from £27,400 in 2010 to £23,100 in 2018.
A picture shows the aftermath of climate strikers in Hyde Park in London on 20 September.
The picture was taken after the event promoting the legalisation of cannabis in April, not the climate protest in September.
The picture shows litter left following an event in Hyde Park in April 2019 promoting the legalisation of cannabis use.
A video shows actors pretending to be victims of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The clip was first shared by a producer of the series in December 2020.
False. The video shows actors making a Ukrainian TV series in 2020.
A video suggests US fact checking organisation PolitiFact endorsed a Fox News recording of Americans discussing health conditions that developed after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine.
A video of a Fox News broadcast has been altered to incorrectly suggest US fact checking organisation PolitiFact endorsed it.
PolitiFact did not endorse this video, nor does it vouch for its claims.
Matt Hancock is the shareholder of Genomics England which is a conflict of interest.
This is a part of the job, rather than a personal role for Matt Hancock.
Anybody who becomes the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care automatically becomes the sole shareholder of Genomics England. This is not unique to Matt Hancock, and he will lose this role when he is no longer in office.
The leader of the government’s independent review into building regulations and fire safety said she didn’t think it was her job to call for the banning of combustible materials in cladding.
The leader of the government’s independent review into building regulations and fire safety said she didn’t think it was her role to go into the detail of individual regulations.
Correct, she said she didn’t think it was her role to go into “the detail of individual regulations or the specifics of the guidance”. She welcomed the government’s consultation on a ban but has also raised concerns that a ban might “create a false sense of security”.
Police catch 11 year-olds being used to sell drugs.
We’ve not seen the evidence for this, though other data on the number of young people prosecuted for drug offences suggests it’s possible.
Diane Abbott said an Iraqi migrant’s body was found off the coast of Luxembourg, a landlocked country.
The unedited tweet was actually about a body found off the coast of Belgium.
Incorrect. Her original tweet about a body found off the coast of Belgium was edited to say this.
The EU wants to force the UK to take a share of refugees.
The EU can't force Britain to take a "quota" of refugees from other EU countries. The UK can choose to opt in to any such EU plan.
Unlike most other EU member states there would be no legal requirement for the UK to take a "quota" of refugees if such a scheme were passed.
Increasing the international health surcharge to £625 and extending it to all foreign workers, including EU migrants after Brexit, will raise over £500 million a year.
At the moment, the immigration health surcharge is £400 for non-EEA immigrants to the UK, but their tax payments also contribute to the running of things like the NHS.
It’s unclear how the Conservatives have calculated this figure. We’ve asked for more information.
The Covid-19 vaccines put people who have received them in danger if 5G is ‘cranked up’.
There is no evidence to support this claim.
A video of Michael Gove dancing in a crowded room shows a Downing Street party.
A video of Michael Gove dancing to ‘I wanna dance with somebody’ is not from a Christmas party in Downing Street in 2020.
The video was taken at Conservative Party conference in 2021.
The UK has the lowest literacy rates in its history
False. Literacy is currently about 99%. In the past, it has been as low as about 5%. Adult and child literacy appear to have either stayed stable or improved over recent decades.
If you live in an area where the council is run by the Labour party, you pay £100 more than under the Conservatives.
You can text a crisis counsellor from Samaritans.
A post on Facebook shares out-of-date information about contacting the charity.
This is no longer true. The charity does not have a text number, but can be contacted by phone, email and letter. Mental health support by text can be accessed using the SHOUT text service.
Normal seasonal colds and flu infections are being mistaken for a Covid-19 “second wave”.
We are not mistaking normal autumn illness for a “second wave”
The symptoms are similar in some cases, but Covid-19 can be clearly identified with a positive test. Recent monitoring also shows low levels of influenza-like illnesses in the UK at the moment.
Cancer survival rates are at a record high.
Cancer survival rates in England are at a record high across cancer types as a whole.
This is correct, according to an index of one-year and five-year survival rates for all cancers.
There are 400,000 fewer families living in poverty now than there were in 2010.
We don’t know where this data comes from and have asked the government.
Esther McVey’s record is of 1,000 more jobs per day.
Correct, looking at the increase in employment during her time as Work and Pensions secretary, since her first stint at DWP, and since the Conservatives entered government. But the employment increase can’t necessarily be attributed to any specific government policies.
It has, but it’s been replaced by a surcharge on bank profits, which is expected to increase taxes on banking.
The National Living Wage will cost care homes an extra £1 billion a year by 2020.
Some of the £1bn cost could be incurred anyway without the policy, and the figure rests on a lot of uncertainty. Other estimates even suggest higher costs.
Some of this cost could be incurred anyway without the new policy, and the figure rests on a lot of uncertainty. Other estimates even suggest higher costs.
The roads in north Wales are better than in Buckinghamshire.
In Wales, 11% of A, B and C roads are in poor condition.
In Buckinghamshire, 4% of A roads, and 5% of B and C roads are in poor condition. In Gwynedd in North Wales, 11% of A, B and C roads are in poor condition. We don’t know if these figures are directly comparable.
The Pfizer vaccine contains syncytin-1 which is vital for the formation of human placenta, so could lead to infertility.
One expert said the possibility was ‘vanishingly small’.
The vaccine contains instructions on how to build a spike protein, a very small part of which resembles syncytin-1. Realistically, there is very little chance the vaccine would cause the body to attack syncytin or cause infertility.
There are nearly one million more disabled people in work since Disability Confident was launched in 2013.
Correct, but this rise can’t be attributed to any one particular reason or policy.
PPE being exported from the UK to other countries could have been used here.
At PMQs Dominic Raab was right to point out it isn’t necessarily the case that PPE exported from the UK could have been used here. But some PPE exported to the EU could have been.
Not necessarily as British standards might vary from other countries. However, some PPE that has been exported to the EU could have been used here as they met EU regulations, which are the same standards used in the UK.
If the EU parliamentary election results happened at a general election under first past the post, the Brexit party would have a majority of over 240 seats.
EU parliamentary election results aren't a perfect indicator of what would happen in a general election. It’s highly unlikely that the Brexit party would win the same vote share in a general election.
This is reasonable based on the best available estimates—but it’s very unlikely that these results would be replicated at a general election. EU election results can’t be used as a proxy for how people would vote in a general election.
The NHS budget will rise by £22 billion over the next few years.
Government plans will see £5 billion rise in overall health spending in England by 2020, once you adjust for inflation.
That’s correct, but it’s less when adjusted for inflation, and non-NHS health spending is going down. The real rise in overall health spending in England is expected to be around £5 billion.
Around 90,000 unaccompanied children claimed asylum in Europe in 2015.
How many unaccompanied children are in Europe and how many are claiming asylum here?
Official figures show this. There's some uncertainty over the age of some applicants, where the authorities have to assess what age they think a person is.
A picture shows Margaret Thatcher and Menachem Begin shaking hands.
Correct. He was the prime minister of Israel at the time, and it was taken during a visit to Downing Street in 1979.
Drinking two glasses of water after waking up helps activate internal organs.
Care workers in the UK get a badge they have to buy.
The CARE badge was available to purchase in a minimum order of 100, and was supposed to be passed on to carers for free. The profits went to care-related causes. It’s unclear whether the badges can still be purchased.
Correct. In 2018 the government and the NHS staff council agreed a three year pay deal which saw pay for nurses increase annually in April between 2018/19 and 2020/21.
The NHS says it’s unlikely that combined contraceptive pill use leads to fertility problems.
The average term of a government since the Second World War is 3.7 years.
Since WWII, the mean length of a government is 3.8 years, and the median length is 4.1 years.
Correct if you count the current government, which is still in office. Looking only at completed governments, the mean average is 3.8 years and the median is 4.1 years.
Trade union sign up for those aged between 25 and 34 is 17% and for those aged 16 to 25 it’s 5%.
4% of the UK population aged 16 to 24 were employees and union members in 2015 and 13% of those aged 25 to 34.
This is not quite correct. 13% of the UK population aged 25 to 34 were union members and employees in 2015 and 4% of those aged 16 to 24. Ms Andrews meant to refer to the proportion of trade union members in these age groups. 5% of trade union members were 16 to 24 in 2015 and 18% were aged 25 to 34.
Within 72 hours Philadelphia’s hospitals were filled.
We know emergency hospitals opened in Philadelphia during this time suggesting the regular hospitals were working at, or close to capacity.
Tommy Robinson filmed Asian men involved in a grooming case and went to jail
Correct. Tommy Robinson reported on a trial in which defendants were accused of grooming young women. The trial had a ban on reporting until all linked cases were tried. He was imprisoned for breaking the ban.
The UK gets £66 million of investment every day from EU countries - that’s more than we pay to be a member of the EU.
£66m a day is the average for the past ten years. Our membership fee was £23m a day in 2015. Investment was £14m a day in 2014.
Citizens of other countries make up a declining share of the prison population.
About one in eight prisoners in England and Wales is a foreign citizen. The percentage has been falling over the last few years.
Boris Johnson is taking £70 a week away from pensioners.
Some pensioners will lose £70 a week under reforms set out in 2007 Pensions Act.
Some pensioners will lose £70 a week under reforms introduced in the 2007 Pensions Act. In May 2019 the number receiving this benefit was around 11,000.
Kary B Mullis said that his PCR test was not made to detect any type of infectious disease. It’s designed to pick up a signature of DNA and RNA of the person being tested.
He never said this. This is a misunderstanding of a quote from him about the limitations of PCR testing in general, to find out about the exact levels of a virus in a sample, not whether or not the sample contained the virus.
The government promised to recruit an extra 5,000 GPs by 2020.
There are fewer doctors and nurses employed in mental health.
The number of mental health doctors and nurses in the NHS has been falling.
There are around 5,000 fewer nurses specialising mental health between August 2010 and 2017. The number of fully trained doctors specialising in psychiatry and psychotherapy has also gone down by 105 over the same time, but if you count junior doctors the number has increased.
The government has broken a manifesto pledge by removing drugs from the Cancer Drugs Fund.
Rising costs have caused NHS England to remove some drugs from the Cancer Drugs Fund, which could soon be replaced by a new system.
Heidi Alexander MP, Shadow Health Secretary, quoted in the Guardian
In its manifesto the Conservative Party promised to continue to invest in the Fund, which has seen spending rise. But drugs have been removed from the list. And beyond 2016 it could be replaced by a new system.
Mark Carney said households are £900 a year worse off because of Brexit.
He said that “some of it” was “arguably” down to Brexit. The figures are based on the difference between the Bank of England’s projections for individuals’ real wage growth between 2016 and 2018 and what actually happened.
An extension to Brexit would cost the UK £1 billion a month
This only works if you’re comparing an extension to a no deal exit where the UK doesn’t pay the divorce bill.
This is only compared to a no deal exit in which the UK refuses to pay the “divorce bill”, and it doesn’t include payments back from the EU to the UK. If we leave with a deal, any extension up to the end of 2020 will not cost us extra, as the agreed financial settlement already includes these payments.
Each Olympic medal for the UK cost £4.5 million in funding.
This was correct for the London 2012 Olympics. At Rio each medal cost £5.1 million in funding.
Between weeks 23 and 37 in 2021 there have been 252 deaths among 15 to 19-year-olds in England and Wales. This compares to 162 in the same period in 2020, an increase of 90 (or 56%).
2020 saw lower than average teen deaths due to various factors, and so isn’t a “normal” year to compare 2021 against.
These figures are correct but this period in 2020 saw lower than average teen deaths, so is not a normal year to compare 2021 against. The ONS, which produced the data, also says: “There is no evidence [from the data] to suggest a link with the COVID-19 vaccines”
Being vegan for a year saves 6,670kg of grain.
Samuel L. Jackson, a student at Morehouse College, can be seen in the background of a photo of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. playing pool in 1966.
A photo posted on Facebook of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. playing pool incorrectly claims Samuel L. Jackson can be seen in the background.
Although Mr Jackson was a student at Morehouse College, he confirmed on Twitter he wasn’t in the photo. The picture was not taken at the College.
Bacterial pneumonia is caused by people wearing masks and is massively on the rise.
There is no evidence that wearing a mask can cause bacterial pneumonia, or that deaths from pneumonia have increased.
Four volunteers developed Bell's palsy after receiving Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine.
Four volunteers developed Bell’s palsy after getting a Covid-19 vaccine, but this doesn’t mean they are linked.
This is true, but that’s about how many people in a group the size of the trial would be expected to develop it in that period of time. There’s no evidence it’s linked to the vaccine.
Scotland gets 20% more per head because of money that comes from England under the Barnett formula.
An increasing proportion of the Scottish government’s budget comes from taxes raised in Scotland, rather than the block grant.
It’s correct that spending on public services in Scotland is 20% higher per head than in England. But this money comes from the block grant from the UK Treasury, rather than from England specifically. An increasing proportion of the Scottish government’s budget also comes from taxes it raises.
A senior judge has said that many of the people in the Calais "jungle" migrant camp aren't refugees, but want the UK's "economic benefits".
Immigrants, benefits, and what the judge actually said about Calais.
One line in a recent judgment says "many are probably not refugees", but want to apply for asylum in the UK instead of France "due to perceived advantages". His judgment doesn't mention benefits.
MSG is in vaccines and is linked to birth defects, developmental delays, infertility and is banned in Europe.
It’s not banned in Europe. It’s used in some vaccines to stabilise them. There’s no strong evidence it causes these problems in humans.
At the beginning of this year only 55% of people were getting their first payment on time, now that is over 80%.
The percentage of people receiving their first universal credit payment within five or six weeks has increased since January.
Correct, for areas where universal credit is fully available. For all universal credit claims the figures were 65% in January and 76% in June.
A police car pictured has an expired MOT.
Some categories of vehicles, including police vehicles, don’t have to have an up-to-date MOT registration.
The vehicle in question did, but it doesn’t matter, as police vehicles are exempt.
Over 200,000 UK businesses trade with the EU, helping them create jobs here in the UK.
HMRC figures from 2012 found almost 200,000 VAT-registered traders in the UK which traded goods with other EU member states. They said that the figure could be “significantly higher” if it included companies that traded in services.
Reversing recent cuts to Capital Gains Tax will save £2.7 billion.
£300 million would cover those officers’ salaries for one year, but it wouldn’t cover the costs of training, equipment, and overheads at the same time.
Correct according to official estimates, although the true amount could vary a bit either way.
If you appeal against a Work Capability Assessment you are almost certain to win.
If you appeal a Work Capability Assessment decision, you are more likely to win than lose. The most recent data suggests that about three-fifths of appeals are successful.
About three-fifths of appeal cases are successful. Decisions that are challenged but don’t make it to appeal have a lower success rate.
Prolonged exposure to radiofrequency radiation from a mobile phone antenna may exceed the recommended guidelines.
There is no evidence that this is the case.
Black scientists hold only 3.5% of professor posts.
The Royal Society found that 3.5% of black academic staff working in STEM were professors, not that 3.5% of professors were black.
Incorrect. In 2018/19 black academics held just 0.5% of STEM professor posts, but 3.5% of black STEM academic staff were professors.
72% of free schools are located in areas with a shortage of places.
By the start of the 2014/15 academic year (September 2014), 75% of open or approved free schools were in areas with an expected need, according to analysis by the Department for Education (DfE).
DfE analysis shows 7 in 10 open free schools are (or 75% of open and approved free schools). Many of the schools won't be operating at full capacity yet.
The Royal Mail is part-owned by the German government.
We’ve not seen any information on who all of the Royal Mail’s shareholders are and have asked them for more information.
The Lib Dems quadrupled renewable power in government.
Renewable energy generation expanded considerably under the Coalition, but some of that was because of projects commissioned under the previous Labour government.
It was slightly closer to tripling than quadrupling, under the Conservative Lib Dem Coalition. But it’s difficult to attribute energy generation to any one party in government as some generators can take years to commission and build.
There is no evidence yet on how long the virus can survive on the skin. But it is important to regularly wash your hands.
Labour’s plan to introduce four extra public holidays could cost Britain almost £10 billion.
It’s difficult to say exactly how much bank holidays affect the economy, but most research suggests that they do reduce GDP.
It’s difficult to say exactly how much bank holidays affect the economy, but most research seems to agree that they reduce GDP. The £10 billion estimate is based on research from 2012 and the consultancy that produced it says it's out of date.
Absolute poverty and relative poverty have both declined under this government.
Government figures show that relative low income was at the same level in 2018/19 as in 2009/10 while absolute low income fell by one percentage point. Another measure of poverty, produced by the Social Metrics Commission, does show a fall under this government.
Various multinational food and drink companies use artificial flavourings made by Senomyx which are made from aborted foetal cells.
The cells (which are cloned from an aborted foetus) are not used as flavourings, but used in flavouring development. All but one company named said they didn’t work with the company in question.
All but one company confirmed they didn’t use the flavouring product made by the company in question. The cells are not flavourings themselves but used in flavouring development. They are clones of cells taken from the kidney of aborted foetus in 1973.
Photograph of people filling the streets of Paris was taken during protests against Covid-19 regulations on 17 July 2021.
A widely shared photograph on social media was actually taken during World Cup celebrations in 2018.
False. Although there were protests in Paris on this day, this photograph was taken during celebrations after France won the World Cup in 2018.
We don’t know how many have been hired, fired or quit—however you define a “foreigner”.
Incorrect. These employment figures don’t tell us the number of new workers, only the overall change in employment. The claim also defines “foreigners” as all people born outside the UK, including those who are UK citizens. About 450,000 more people in the UK were employed in July-September 2016 than had been the year before, and roughly half of the increase was due to an increase in the number of non-British citizens.
The total number of deaths from Covid-19 in Italy rose from 233 to 4,032 over about two weeks.
Correct. As reported by the Italian government, the number of deaths from Covid-19 rose from 233 on 7 March to 4,032 on 20 March.
Honey, pepper and ginger can ‘100%’ eliminate the effect of Covid-19 and has been approved by the WHO.
This home remedy has not been approved by the World Health Organisation. The WhatsApp message it’s been widely shared through is very similar to Facebook posts which have already been debunked.
This treatment for Covid-19 has not been approved by the WHO. The WHO says that although some spices may be beneficial for health, there is no evidence that this particular mix can protect from Covid-19 infection.
A small animal centre stopped new adoptions because people were buying them for food.
The West Berkshire small animal centre was concerned that people might use it’s rabbits for food and so paused adoptions. The RSPCA said it hasn’t received any reports of these animals being killed for food.
Water cannon may be deployed today in London for a pro-Brexit march.
The Met Police does not own any water cannon and their use is not currently authorised in England and Wales.
This is untrue. The Met Police do not own any water cannon and they are not currently authorised for use in England and Wales. Both the Met Police and the Mayor of London’s office confirmed they will not be using water cannon.
Fire authorities have had their budgets reduced by a quarter since 2010.
Since 2010/11 the number of fire safety audits have gone down by about 25%.
Central funding to fire authorities in England has been reduced by between 26% and 39% since 2010, according to the National Audit Office.
Boris Johnson wrote that working class men are “likely to be drunk, criminal, aimless, feckless and hopeless” in The Spectator in 1995.
In a 1995 Spectator article, Boris Johnson wrote that ”blue collar” men are likely to be drunk, criminal, aimless, feckless and hopeless.
Correct. He specifically said “blue collar” men.
The CDC said that immunity from a prior Covid-19 infection is “paramount”.
This is not what the CDC said. It recommends vaccination against Covid-19.
66 A&E and maternity wards have been closed.
We don’t know, as this information isn’t collected nationally. In 2014, there were reportedly plans to close or downgrade 66 in England, but while some have been, others have stayed open.
The Department for Work and Pensions wants to reduce the size of its estate by 20% but close 50% of Jobcentre Plus sites in Glasgow.
Half the Jobcentre Plus sites in Glasgow are set to close under DWP plans. The Department plans to reduce its office space nationwide by 20%.
There is no reduction in viral transmission with the use of face masks.
Footage of a meeting in Orange County, California, in 2020 shares a lot of false information about asymptomatic spread of Covid-19 and the use of facemasks.
Face masks can help to reduce transmission of SARS-Cov-2, and are recommended in many scenarios by the WHO and the UK government.
Poverty is being redefined to remove any reference to income.
New targets replace existing income indicators of child poverty with ones that focus on worklessness and educational attainment.
A bill going through Parliament contains plans to replace existing income indicators of child poverty with ones that focus on worklessness and educational attainment. The annual statistics on the income measures will still be published but they won't be the government's main poverty indicators.
Covid-19 vaccines have caused 1,213 deaths.
False. This is the number of deaths within seven days of vaccination reported through the Yellow Card scheme, but this does not mean the vaccines caused these deaths.
The Treasury expects the UK economy to shrink by 4.9% under a Canada-style deal with the EU.
The Treasury estimates that Brexit will cause GDP to grow more slowly than if we hadn’t left the EU, but not to shrink.
The Treasury estimated that a free-trade agreement similar to Canada’s would mean the UK economy grows between 4.9% and 6.7% less over 15 years, than it would have if we had remained in the EU. But that doesn’t mean the economy will shrink.
Research shows that people do not follow self-isolation rules because they cannot afford to.
Based on the available evidence, this is not a major factor reported by people who do not self-isolate correctly. Just 8.9% said that they broke the rules in order to go to work.
It defies logic that Joe Biden secured more votes that Barack Obama. If only valid votes are counted, Donald Trump and Joe Biden share the popular vote.
It is logical that Mr Biden received so many votes because turnout was relatively high. There is no evidence of widespread invalid votes. There is no evidence that Mr Trump and Mr Biden received the same popular vote. Mr Biden currently leads by around 4.5 million.
School funding has increased by a minimum of £5,150 per pupil.
The Conservative Party has made incorrect claims about education spending on social media.
This is not true. £5,150 is the minimum amount secondary schools will receive per pupil, not the level of increase.
Betty White died three days after she received her Covid booster vaccine.
Multiple social media posts falsely report actress Betty White had her third Covid vaccine three days before she died.
There is no evidence of this. Her agent confirmed she died of natural causes and did not receive her booster three days before her death.
Trading with the EU under World Trade Organisation rules alone would cost the UK £45 billion in lost GDP.
It's not unorthodox to say that trading with the EU under terms set by the WTO would be bad from an economic perspective, but putting an exact cost on it is tricky.
That’s quoting the Treasury’s forecast incorrectly. £45 billion was the Treasury’s estimate for the cost to tax revenues after 15 years, rather than the size of the economy. It's not unorthodox to say that trading with the EU under terms set by the WTO would be bad from an economic perspective. Even so, no forecast is certain.
Under the current system, people on a work, study or family visa only pay a £400 surcharge to use the NHS.
This is the current level the international health surcharge is set at each year, but the taxes that people who come to work in the UK pay also goes towards things like the NHS.
The government's claim to have spent more on flood defence schemes misrepresents its record.
Labour's attack on David Cameron over flood defence spending doesn't prove that total spending has fallen on his watch, but cuts have been made in some areas.
Funding for flood defences have increased overall, although it was originally set to fall. There do seem to have been cuts made in particular areas, such as staff at the Environment Agency.
9,472 people were admitted to hospitals in England with the Delta variant of Covid-19 in the seven days to 29 August.
In the seven months to 29 August, 9,472 people in England stayed in hospital overnight with a confirmed case of the Delta variant.
False. 9,472 people were admitted to hospitals in England with a confirmed case of the Delta variant of Covid-19 in the seven months to 29 August. This only included overnight stays.
The AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine causes more side effects than the Pfizer vaccine.
An article in the Express is misleading when it says that the Oxford Covid-19 vaccine has ‘more adverse side effects’.
This misunderstands a summary of the evidence from the MHRA. Clinical trial data suggests that the two vaccines’ side effects are about the same.
A photo shows Nigel Farage accompanying National Front member Martin Webster.
There is no evidence to suggest Nigel Farage was a member of the National Front.
We don’t know who the person next to Mr Webster is, but it almost certainly isn’t Mr Farage. There is no evidence to suggest Mr Farage was ever a National Front member.
A camera with photographs of the Titanic sinking has been discovered in the ocean.
It’s a painting from 1996, by an artist who worked on the film.
We can find no evidence to support this. The image on this post is a recent painting, not a photograph.
The UK and USA invest $1 trillion between them in each other’s economies.
Correct. UK-based companies invested around $541 billion in the USA in 2017 while US-based companies invested around $748 billion in the UK, according to official US figures. That totals around $1.3 trillion.
Poland, France and Germany have cheap travel and utilities subsidised by Europe.
Some of the EU budget is invested in transport and energy programmes. But it does not simply subsidise existing services for EU citizens. The UK is also a recipient of this funding.
It takes people in Germany four days to produce what people in the UK take five days to produce. This means they need to work fewer hours.
No. On average German workers took four hours to produce what UK workers produced in five hours in 2016.
Correct. On average, German workers took around four hours to produce what UK workers did in five hours in 2016. Workers in the UK work longer days on average than German workers, so overall UK workers were 8.5% less productive than German workers in 2016.
There were reportedly 100,000 vacancies in NHS trusts in England between October-December 2017. Home Office caps on visa numbers mean some international doctors cannot enter the UK to work.
NHS Improvement says there were 97,000 vacancies in NHS trusts in England between October-December 2017. It’s based on management information and is not an official statistic, so should be treated with some caution. Many of these “vacancies” are currently filled by temporary staff.
The population has grown by a third since the start of the NHS.
Both the UK’s population and average life expectancy has increased since the founding of the NHS.
Correct, comparing data from 1951 and 2016.
Clouds don’t move in NASA footage of Earth rotating. This is further proof of a cloud map, used across a number of NASA images.
The video used to make this point is not fast enough for us to perceive the movement of clouds. Movement can be seen in faster versions of the video.
Last year, the Conservatives delivered the highest number of homes for almost 30 years.
Last year saw the biggest increase in the housing supply for thirty years.
A video shows the last moments of an Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed in March.
We can tell from the plane’s interior that it’s not the same flight.
The video doesn’t come from the Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed in March. It’s from a different plane.
Independent inspectors say that driver-only trains are safe.
As unions take strike action on Southern Railway over driver-only trains, we look at what regulators have said about the safety question.
That’s the conclusion of the Rail Safety and Standards Board, and the Office of Rail and Road, who both say that such systems are safe provided that appropriate procedures are in place. Trade unions disagree, and deny that either organisation is actually independent.
Private hospitals can register as a charity saving them up to 80% on their business rates.
Private hospitals can register as charities and save 80% on their business rates payments, while some NHS hospitals have faced a business rates increase.
Correct. These are the numbers of deaths registered in the UK for each year.
Of the almost 1,800 deaths that occur on our roads annually, around 450 are pedestrians in incidents where motor vehicles are involved.
Correct. Refers to figures for Britain in 2016.
A picture shows George Soros as an SS officer.
George Soros was not a Nazi in the Second World War, and a picture claiming to show him as one is actually of the Auschwitz officer Oskar Gröning.
Incorrect. The picture is of Oskar Gröning, the so-called “bookkeeper of Auschwitz”, and not Mr Soros.
The IMF says that the UK will be the fastest growing economy in the G7 in 2016, whereas it had predicted that a Brexit vote would be immediately bad for the economy.
Did the International Monetary Fund get its Brexit predictions wrong?
It’s true that the IMF puts the UK at the top of the G7 for growth in 2016. It had envisaged scenarios where the UK economy suffered soon after a vote to leave the EU. That hasn’t happened, although the IMF still thinks there’s trouble coming.
Childhood diabetes in England and Wales is up 40% in four years.
Type 2 diabetes among children in England and Wales has increased by around 40% over the past 4 years.
This is in the right ball park. Data from both the NHS and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health show this scale of increase across similar time periods.
Kary B Mullis, inventor of PCR tests, said they cannot detect free infectious viruses.
An interview with Kary B Mullis seems to have been taken out of context. PCR tests detect viral genetic material and are very accurate.
This quote does not come from Mullis himself, but from an article about him. PCR tests accurately detect particular viral genetic material, such as genetic material of the virus that causes Covid-19, rather than testing directly for infectivity.
Vets say that all cats should be kept indoors during the coronavirus outbreak.
British Veterinary Association advice to keep cats indoors applies only to cats from infected or self-isolating households.
This advice only applies to cats from infected or self-isolating households. The article saying it applied to all cats has now been changed.
The EU imposes 50% tariffs on rice, maize and other cereals and 300% tariffs on processed sugar imported from African countries.
The EU has schemes in place with the majority of African countries that mean that they can import almost all of their goods into the EU tariff-free.
Incorrect. The EU does charge tariffs on imports of all these goods, but most African countries aren’t subject to them
The percentage of the UK population who have received a booster vaccine is double that of the EU.
Broadly correct. As of 12-14 December, 35% of the UK population and 19% of the EU population had been boosted.
People required to self-isolate will receive a support payment of £500 per week.
It is £500 for the whole period of self-isolation, not £500 per week.
This is incorrect. People who are eligible for the payment will receive £500 in total, not for each week that they self-isolate.
The Guardian deactivated its 2021 “Person of the Year” poll after J.K. Rowling took the lead.
The request for reader nominations for their person of the year was not a poll and there’s no evidence it was deactivated because of the support for the Harry Potter author.
The article was not a poll but a request for readers to nominate their “Person of the Year”. The responses were reported on 30 December, including Ms Rowling as a nominee. The Guardian regularly runs similar articles and deactivates submissions after a period of time. It did not publish a tally of the results.
The government has secured almost £160 billion extra since 2010 as a result of tax compliance activities.
Last year HMRC estimates it made £29 billion extra as a result of its compliance activities.
Correct according to HMRC estimates, but a large part of this figure covers money the government thinks it will get in future as a result of actions already taken, rather than money actually saved so far.
Face masks are useless at stopping Covid-19 because the gaps in them are larger than a Covid-19 viral particle.
Various studies have shown the effect of face masks on reducing the risk of viral infection.
Face masks, especially surgical masks, have been shown to reduce Covid-19 infection.
The Covid-19 vaccines can render you infertile.
There is no evidence for this. If anything, the vaccines may protect against fertility damage that the virus might cause.
A Lee Rigby charity football page was removed from Facebook due to “left wing pressure.”
Facebook said that the page has now been reinstated.
The page was removed from Facebook, but the company says this was due to a hacking attempt. It has since been reinstated.
Scotland raises £25 billion a year in income tax.
False. It raised £13 billion from income tax in 2020/21.
A man in Wales was caught on video touching his groin and wiping his hands on a public lift.
Reports of a missing child called Ellie Morrad are fake. Fake missing child reports are a common occurrence on Facebook.
She is not. This is the latest in a long line of fake missing child reports posted on Facebook to scam people.
Under the current system, people on a work, study or family visa incur average NHS costs of £625 per year.
It’s unclear how the Conservatives have calculated this new figure and we’ve asked them for more information.
While western countries have been busy fighting the new coronavirus, international terrorism has stopped.
A widely shared post on Facebook claims international terrorism has ‘stopped’ as a result of western countries being ‘busy’ fighting the new coronavirus.
This is not true. There have been multiple terror attacks around the world in March and April this year, leaving hundreds of people dead.
NHS hospitals have been hit with a 21% rise in business rates.
That’s what was projected when changes to business rates came in last year. A more up to date estimate puts the 2019/20 bill at around 24% higher than in 2016/17.
There are more teachers in English schools now than in 2010.
That’s correct, although the number of pupils has also increased. The number of primary school teachers has risen, masking a fall in the number of secondary teachers.
The UK dropping our EU treaty commitment to "ever closer union" would make us less likely to be drawn into a federal Europe.
Dropping our EU treaty commitment to "ever closer union" - as David Cameron says he wants to do - may have a political impact, but no direct legal effect.
Unlike opt-outs in specific areas of EU activity, this change wouldn't have a direct legal effect. Any impact would be mainly political.
It’s not true that until 12 March, the government’s advice said it was ‘very unlikely’ people in care homes will become infected.
This is incorrect. The guidance did say this. It was withdrawn on 13 March.
Cyclists are not obliged to use cycle lanes.
Correct, though this was the case already.
The justice budget has fallen by 40% since 2010.
The government did announce a real terms reduction of 40% to the Ministry of Justice but ultimately reduced funding by 25% between 2010/11 and 2019/20.
This was a proposal, but is now out of date. The government announced a 40% real terms reduction in the Ministry of Justice budget between 2010/11 and 2019/20, but in the end the reduction was 25%.
There are over 13,300 more nurses on our wards since May 2010.
We don’t have figures specifically for the total number of nurses on hospital wards.
This isn’t substantiated by the available data. We don’t have figures specifically for the total number of nurses on hospital wards. The claim refers to figures just for nurses working in ‘general care’ with adults, which misses out some nurses in children’s and mental health services who also work on wards.
From 1997-2010 Labour sold off the majority of NHS hospital buildings to private investors.
Incorrect. We don’t know exactly what proportion of hospitals are funded by PFI contracts, but it’s a minority.
The overwhelming majority of people in hospital with Covid have not been vaccinated.
The latest data at the time she was speaking showed that the unvaccinated made up 46% of admissions in England—although this might change when new data is published.
This is not supported by the latest evidence, which shows that 46% of admissions in England in the four weeks up to 19 December were unvaccinated people.
118,000 care home workers have been tested for Covid-19.
This is not correct. 118,000 care home residents have been tested for Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic.
The Channel Tunnel cost £12 billion to build in today’s money.
We’ve seen varying estimates but this is probably about correct.
The Royal College of Midwives estimates that there is a shortage of 3,500 midwives in England.
It does. The RCM calculates this based on the number of births, the number of midwives, and a widely recognised formula for how many births each midwives can handle per year.
The NHS test and trace app was created by Serco, not the NHS.
Serco has been contracted during the pandemic to assist with facilities management and contact tracing call centres.
Serco did not build and does not operate the NHS test and trace app.
Under the new withdrawal agreement, EU courts have jurisdiction over the UK.
Nothing has changed on this compared to Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement, but the European Court of Justice would have jurisdiction on some rules in Northern Ireland.
Central government funding to police forces will be cut by £330 million in real terms between 2015 and 2018.
That’s correct, totalling up central government grants to individual police forces and adjusting for inflation.
The UK is the only EU country with no time limit on immigration detention.
It's true that the UK is the only country in the EU without a specific time limit on how long someone can be held for immigration offences.
This is correct, although the courts have said that the government can’t hold people for ‘unreasonable’ periods of time.
People vaccinated against Covid-19 may be experiencing a form of vaccine-induced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Claims that vaccines are harming immune systems is based on flawed analysis comparing Covid-19 case rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
False. This is based on incorrectly using Covid-19 case rates to claim being vaccinated increases a person’s risk of being infected with Covid-19.
The Covid-19 vaccines have killed 3,362 people in less than four months.
Events reported to the VAERS system in the US weren’t necessarily caused by the vaccine.
This is the number of deaths that were reported in individuals in the US who recently had a Covid-19 vaccine, but there’s no proof they were caused by the vaccine.
PCR tests for Covid-19 have a 100% false positive rate.
The false positive rate is not 100%, which would mean they gave a positive result, wrongly, every time.
This is not true. The false positive rate of Covid-19 PCR tests in the UK is extremely low. The highest possible value is 0.08%.
£10 billion extra funding for the English NHS will pay for new seven-day services.
The government maintains it can pay for expanded "seven-day NHS" services with the money it has already planned to spend, but experts doubt this is possible.
The government maintains this will happen, but experts doubt it’s possible without more money, as the original plans didn’t factor in the cost of seven-day services. It also needs the NHS to meet ambitious savings targets.
Ending tariffs means lower prices in shops and pubs.
Not necessarily. The Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that a reduction in consumer prices from reducing tariffs would be wiped out by extra costs imposed by the UK leaving the EU customs union.
It is now illegal to park on pavements in Wales.
The Welsh government is planning to give councils more power to fine problem parkers from July next year, but doesn’t plan to pursue an outright ban.
False. The Welsh government is planning to give councils more power to fine problem parkers from July next year, but doesn’t plan to pursue an outright ban.
When the UK leaves the EU we won’t be sending vast amounts of money to the EU every year.
Our net contribution to the EU budget is typically £9-10 billion a year. We will no longer contribute to it from 2021 onwards, but other costs and economic effects associated with leaving are expected to more than offset that saving.
In London crime has risen five times faster than the rest of the country since Sadiq Khan became Mayor in 2016.
Police recorded crime per person in London is up 18% since 2016. Across England it is up 31%.
Incorrect. Recorded crime per person in London has increased by 18% over this period, less than the 31% increase across England overall. These statistics only count crime recorded by police, and it’s estimated that overall crime is decreasing.
It’s been claimed that the UK is short 100,000 HGV drivers, but the government has reportedly said we only need another 30,000.
This figure hasn’t been fully evidenced. It is based on the assumption that there was already a shortage of 60,000 before the pandemic. There are 30,000 fewer lorry drivers now than in the year before the pandemic.
Without vaccination, evidence shows that Covid-19 has a higher fatality rate than the flu. Restrictions such as lockdowns, which are not implemented for the flu, also suppressed the number of deaths.
Virus levels are now 50x higher among secondary school pupils than they were in September.
A professor in New South Wales Australia, has said under oath that the Covid-19 vaccines are not vaccines.
She actually said the Covid-19 vaccines aren’t live vaccines.
The professor specified that the Covid-19 vaccines used in Australia are not “live vaccines” but did refer to them as vaccines.
Hate crimes spiked by 41%, following the EU referendum.
Yes, the number of hate crimes recorded by the police in July 2016 was 41% higher in July 2016 than in July 2015. There was a sharp increase immediately after the EU referendum.
Four million children live below the poverty line.
Around four million children in the UK were living in relative poverty in the UK, once housing costs are accounted for, although that’s just one way to measure poverty.
This is correct for relative poverty in the UK, measured after housing costs in 2015/16. It’s a smaller number using other measures of poverty.
The Labour Party plans to increase the basic rate of income tax to 25% to pay for social care for older people.
The Conservatives have said that Labour plans to increase the basic rate of income tax to 25%, but that’s not the case. Labour said it won’t raise income tax for those earning less than £80,000.
Incorrect. Labour hasn’t announced any plans to increase the basic rate of income tax. It’s said that it won’t raise income taxes for those earning less than £80,000. We’ve asked the Conservatives for more information.
Coronavirus isn’t dangerous as it can be killed by Dettol products.
Coronavirus is a category of viruses that includes the common cold.
How dangerous the novel coronavirus is doesn’t relate to whether disinfectants work against it. Coronavirus is a large category of viruses that includes the common cold. Dettol has said its products haven’t been tested against the new virus yet.
There’s no evidence that the temperature of liquids consumed can protect you from viruses.
Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust have had five deaths related to Covid-19 and all patients that passed away had pre-existing conditions.
This is the second time we’ve seen FOI requests on Covid-19 deaths sent to trusts who are unlikely to deal with seriously ill coronavirus patients.
This is true, but Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health, addiction, learning disability and community health services, so is not expected to treat those seriously ill with Covid-19.
The UK spends less as a percentage of GDP on the NHS than France or Germany.
Vaccinated people are “transmitting artificial intelligence synthetic ‘affliction’ to the unvaccinated” with multiple effects including menstruation/fertility issues.
Another conspiracy theory from David Icke is being shared on social media.
This is completely wrong. Covid-19 vaccines do not contain artificial intelligence, affect fertility or transmit anything to unvaccinated people.
The current withdrawal agreement effectively keeps us in the single market and customs union.
The withdrawal agreement only sets the immediate terms of the UK’s exit from the EU. The future trading relationship would need to be negotiated once the UK has left.
The withdrawal agreement doesn’t set out the terms of the UK’s future trading relationship with the EU. That would have to be negotiated after Brexit. If the withdrawal agreement passed but no trade deal was then negotiated, the Irish backstop would kick in—keeping Northern Ireland aligned to some of the rules of the single market, but not the rest of the UK. The UK would be in a customs union.
Ventilators and intensive care units were never used in Russia.
This is untrue. For example, one study in Russia looked at more than 1,500 Covid-19 patients in ICU, many of whom were given respiratory support via ventilation.
Just short of 100% of all the electricity Scotland uses is from renewable sources.
Scotland produces renewable electricity equivalent to its annual consumption, but some of this is exported. In 2020, 56% of the electricity consumed in Scotland came from renewable sources.
Scotland produces renewable electricity equivalent to its annual consumption, but some of this is exported, meaning it uses significant amounts of non-renewable electricity as well. In 2020, 56% of the electricity consumed in Scotland came from renewable sources.
Finland is going to have a four-day working week and six-hour days.
The claim came from an informal proposal made by the Prime Minister when she was Minister of Transport.
This is not Finnish government policy. The Finnish Prime Minister did suggest the idea on a panel in 2019 while she was Minister for Transport.
If you challenge someone not wearing a face mask you can be held personally liable for a summary offence under equality laws and could be subject to a fine of up to £9,000.
A post on Instagram misquotes sections of the Equality Act.
While the government advises that members of the public should not challenge someone who is not wearing a face covering, doing so does not constitute a criminal offence.
EU laws prevent the UK from dredging rivers.
There is no specific EU law on banning dredging, but while some governance does affect it, it does not prevent it.
This is not true. Dredging happens in the UK. Some elements of it are affecting by EU directives, but not prevented.
MPs in the UK have awarded themselves a £10,000 bonus to cover ‘expenses’ during the Covid-19 crisis.
Incorrect. MPs’ pay is regulated by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, which has increased the amount MPs can claim in expenses for office and staff costs by £10,000 to cover additional costs needed to set up remote working. MPs did not get to decide on this increase and do not have to claim it.
About 46% of prisoners and 60% of those on short sentences re-offend within a year of release.
Close to half of all prisoners in England and Wales will commit another criminal offence within a year of being released.
This is correct for England and Wales as of March 2014. The overall rate of proven re-offending has remained stable for the past decade.
The weekly UK state pension is £141 compared to £304 in France, £513 in Spain and £507 in Germany.
Pension systems differ a lot internationally, so it’s difficult to compare them fairly.
The figures for the UK, Spain and France are in the right ballpark in terms of the maximum available in each country, but differences between their pension systems means it’s not a fair comparison.
A majority of people want a new Covid-19 lockdown.
There is no indication that the poll, carried out amongst Independent readers, included a representative sample of respondents.
This is unsupported by the poll it was based on. 39% of respondents to the Independent poll were in favour of new lockdown measures. We don’t know how representative of Independent readers or the wider public those polled are.
One in six people in the US get food poisoning each year and one in 66 people in the UK get food poisoning each year.
These estimates are both correct based on government figures, but they’re not comparable due to differences in methodology and how the data was collected.
The enacting of Section 1 of the European Union Withdrawal Act underlines that we are leaving the EU on October 31.
Exit day is currently set for 31 October but it could still be amended, under other sections of the Act, as has happened twice already. Enacting section 1 of the Act does not change this.
The UK is the largest investor in the US economy.
Correct. UK-based companies invested around $541 billion in the USA in 2017, based on official US figures. That made it the top investor in the country.
Newly qualified NHS nurses, paramedics, midwives, radiographers, care assistants, physiotherapists and occupational therapists are considered unskilled workers under a new set of immigration rules.
Incorrect. All of the listed jobs apart from care assistants meet the skills threshold under new immigration rules.
Participants in a remote video meeting are being required to wear masks.
This comes from a satirical account in the US. It isn’t true.
This isn’t true. It comes from a joke video on TikTok.
Asymptomatic carriers of Covid do not spread disease.
This isn’t true. As the pandemic has gone on, it has become clear that asymptomatic transmission can occur.
Wages are lower today than they were ten years ago.
Adjusted for inflation, the official headline measure of median wages has.
Yes, the official headline measure of median weekly wages for full time workers is lower than ten years ago.
In the last eight years, spending cuts led to the closure of children’s centres.
Explaining the Coalition and Conservative governments’ record on tuition fees, Education Maintenance Allowance, Sure Start, and school building.
The number of children’s centres in England has fallen by around 500 from 2010 to 2017, and the number of Sure Start centres has fallen by around 1,200. Funding for Sure Start in England fell by 50% in real terms from 2010/11 to 2016/17.
From 23 March until the foreseeable future, Microsoft and Sony will shut down their gaming servers during UK school hours.
This is not true. Microsoft and Sony haven’t announced these measures.
The schools budget has been increased over the past few years.
The cash amount has risen, but that doesn’t take into account inflation or rising pupil numbers.
Understaffing in hospitals at weekends is responsible for 11,000 deaths according to research.
The Health Secretary has claimed that 11,000 weekend deaths are caused by understaffed hospitals, but the research he cites doesn't show this.
The research doesn't say this. It did find 11,000 excess deaths but says to assume these are avoidable "would be rash and misleading".
In Wales you cannot drive to your place of exercise.
5G WiFi networks could be responsible for the rapid spread of the new coronavirus.
There is no evidence to suggest that 5G is increasing the spread of the new coronavirus.
This is not true. There is no evidence that 5G WiFi networks are linked to the new coronavirus.
The starting salary for police officers has not increased from its level in 2010, when it was £23,000.
This figure is wrong. In 2010, a newly qualified constable’s starting salary was £23,000; it is now £24,200. However, if you factor in inflation this amounts to a 14% fall in pay.
Thousands of women are leaving the island of Ireland to have an abortion in Britain.
Correct. Around 4,000 women living in Ireland and Northern Ireland came to England and Wales for an abortion in 2016. Seven women not resident in Scotland received an abortion in 2016, but we don’t know where they were from.
EU airports are punishing Britain for Brexit with long queues caused by tougher security checks.
The controls affect all passengers entering and leaving the European border-free Schengen area, not just UK citizens.
The stricter EU border controls were proposed six months before the EU referendum in December 2015 and came into force in April 2017. The controls affect all passengers entering and leaving the European border-free Schengen area, not just UK citizens.
The increase in net migration under the Conservative government is the highest it has ever been.
The greatest annual increase in estimated net migration in the last 20 years was under the Labour government in 1998. Levels of net migration under this government are thought to be the highest ever recorded.
We’re seeing the largest sustained drop in NHS funding as a percentage of GDP since the founding of the NHS.
Correct. The King’s Fund has found that between 2010 and 2020 UK NHS spending will see the largest ever sustained reduction as a percentage of GDP.
50% of mental health problems develop by the age of 14 and 75% by the age of 18.
This was the finding of a study of New Zealanders born in the early 1970s that followed them throughout their lives. The study’s authors caution that it might not apply to all countries, particularly as around 90% of those who took part in the study were white.
Before the EU referendum George Osborne claimed up to 820,000 jobs could be lost within two years if Britain chose to leave.
Correct. Mr Osborne did claim this. He was referring to Treasury analysis which said the worst case scenario following a leave vote could increase the number of unemployed people by 820,000.
Wages are rising at the fastest pace in three years.
This claim doesn’t factor in inflation, nor peoples’ total pay. Total pay in Great Britain is growing in real-terms by 0.2% in the three months to July 2018.
This refers to regular pay, and doesn’t factor in inflation or peoples’ total pay. Total pay in Great Britain is growing in real-terms by 0.2% in the three months to July 2018, the joint fastest pace in 18 months.
There were nearly 1,000 drug-related deaths in Scotland last year.
Correct, there were 934 registered in 2017.
An independent review of the vaccines advises that all vaccination should be halted.
The “independent review” claims all reports of side effects after vaccination were caused by vaccination which is unproven.
The SNP has delivered 9,799 council homes.
Correct. This doesn’t include homes completed by councils without any government funding.
Football players will display Black Lives Matter on their shirts but weren’t allowed to display the poppy symbol.
The poppy has always been allowed in the Premier League. It was banned in international fixtures but this ban has been lifted.
Footballers in the Premier League have displayed the words Black Lives Matter on their shirts recently, and have always been allowed to wear the poppy. Home nations teams were fined in 2016 for wearing the poppy in an international fixture, but this rule has since been changed.
There are now 28 member states of the EU, the most recent being Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia.
Correct, there are now 28 member states of the EU.
Italy fielded a player in the Euro 2020 final who shouldn’t have been playing due to receiving a yellow card in the quarter-final.
Claims the Azzurri fielded a suspended player in the final are false.
False. No Italian player received two yellow cards to warrant suspension before the final, and yellow cards expired after the quarter-finals anyway.
The German government does not recommend the use of Covid-19 vaccines and has frozen licensing of vaccines.
A social media post falsely claims Germany’s government no longer recommends Covid-19 vaccination.
This is not true. The government suspended the use of the AstraZeneca vaccines to under 60s in March but it has not prohibited Covid-19 vaccinations or licensing.
100,000 illegal migrants have been stopped from making the crossing to the UK in the past year.
The claim that 100,000 illegal migrants have been stopped at the border is an unofficial projection and is uncertain.
The data doesn't allow us to say this. This is an unofficial projection based on Home Office data and depends upon the assumption that foiled attempts to cross the border have continued at the same rate as in April to July this year for the rest of the year.
Since we started vaccinating people in the UK, about eight people a day or 1,102 overall have died a short while after getting the vaccine. These are not “vaccine deaths” and the number is in line with how many we would expect from other causes in that time period.
In the United States there are acceptable levels of rat hair in paprika and maggots in orange juice.
The US sets levels of natural contaminants in food above which it takes immediate enforcement action. The EU doesn’t set such levels.
The US Food and Drug Administration sets levels of natural contaminants in food (like maggots in orange juice) above which it takes automatic enforcement action.
Instagram is changing its rules so that any posts or messages on the platform will be public, can be used in court cases against you, and Instagram is now a public entity. If you share a certain image, Instagram will not be able to share your images or messages.
Several celebrities have reposted the incorrect image, which has no truth to it.
Licensed gambling has grown 57% over the last decade.
Licensed gambling has grown 40% over the last decade. However, this is largely because before 2014 non-UK online gambling firms weren’t counted.
Gambling yield has grown 57% over the last decade if you exclude the National Lottery. Including the National Lottery it has grown 40%. However, this growth is largely due to the changes in how online gambling is classified. This growth doesn’t necessarily mean people are gambling more.
800 Sure Start children’s centres have been closed in England since 2010.
While many Sure Start children's centres have closed since 2010, just how many depends on what exactly you count.
This is only part of the story. There are over 1,000 fewer Sure Start centres, but only 300 fewer children’s centres overall. Around 700 sites still operate but no longer meet the official definition of a Sure Start centre.
Cannabis use causes a quarter of psychosis cases.
It's been reported that a quarter of psychosis cases are the result of cannabis use, according to new research. But the research only covered one region.
That's not what the research shows. High-potency cannabis (or skunk) is linked to 24% of cases in South London, but that's not representative of the rest of the country.
Correct. The proportion of individuals in poverty where at least one member of their family is in work is the highest recorded.
You are not exempt from wearing a face covering unless you have a supporting letter from a doctor, and wearing the invisible disability exemption badge is illegal.
Wearing face coverings in certain settings is now a legal requirement but you do not need a doctor’s letter to prove that you are exempt.
You do not need a doctor’s letter to prove exemption and you may choose, although are generally not required, to carry an exemption card. Wearing an exemption badge or carrying a card is not illegal.
A video shows a police officer being egged by children in Kent.
Viral videos on social media seemingly showing a police officer lying on the ground while children pelt him with eggs are not what they seem.
This is not an assault of a real police officer. Kent police have no record of an assault. The video was shared by a prank account.
It is illegal to drive in pyjamas in the UK.
The article presented as evidence of the new law in this claim is an April Fool’s joke.
It is not. The article this claim is based on is an April Fool’s joke.
There were 70 deaths from alcohol in Ireland in August.
We could find no source for this figure. A 2013 average of 88 alcohol-related deaths a month in Ireland includes a number of different factors, such as the coroner mentioning alcohol dependency, certain alcohol-related diseases, and if they were an alcoholic.
False. Neither the Pfizer, AstraZeneca, nor the Moderna vaccines contain any animal products.
Broadly correct. There are 164 full members of the WTO.
‘How to hit a woman so no one knows’ was Googled 163 million times during 2020.
The researcher behind the claim has publicly stated that her research methods were flawed.
This is false. This is the number of search results, rather than the number of times that the term was searched for—a methodological error acknowledged by the researcher behind the claim.
ONS figures show that since March 2020, over 128,000 people in England and Wales have died with Covid-19 listed as the underlying cause of death on the death certificate.
Magnets can stick to your arm after a Covid-19 jab because they contain a microchip or other metals.
Baseless claims that the Covid-19 vaccines contain a microchip have persisted throughout the pandemic.
This is false. The vaccines do not contain a microchip and there is nothing in a vaccine that could cause a magnet to stick to your skin after getting it.
Asylum seekers have to live on just £37.75 per week.
People seeking asylum who are homeless or can’t afford food typically receive £37.75 per week. The level is slightly higher for young children and pregnant women or new mothers. This is in addition to furnished housing and utilities which are provided for no cost.
Labour are proposing stopping the 25% discount on council tax for single householders.
This seems to come from a report that made recommendations to Labour about council tax, but is not party policy.
US food standards allow for rat droppings in ginger.
US food standards set limits above zero for rat droppings in ginger, beyond which enforcement action is mandatory.
The Taliban survived the last 18 months with no vaccines, social distancing, PCR testing, masks or business closures to then recapture an entire country with no mass deaths amongst their population during the pandemic.
A Facebook post claims the Taliban took over Afghanistan with no vaccines, masks or mass deaths amongst their population. This seems unlikely from what we know about the country at large.
It’s not clear if any Taliban members have been vaccinated, though it’s reported they were allowing vaccinations to take place before the August takeover in areas they controlled. Pictures exist of Taliban fighters wearing masks. There have been confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Afghanistan.
Various spellings of the name Muhammad combined rank number one for most popular boys name in England and Wales in 2018.
Grouping together various spellings of the name Muhammad can push it up the rankings, but so can counting Harrys and Henrys as one group.
This all depends on how you count the various spellings of Muhammad and other boys’ names and abbreviations of names. If you count Henry and Harry variations together, they come higher.
14 million people are in poverty, which is a record high.
This is incorrect. In 2017/18, 14 million people were in poverty according to one definition. This was a fall on the previous year in terms of the number of people and percentage of the population.
Primary school children are being used to carry drugs.
Reports from police in England and Wales to the National Crime Agency suggest in 42% of forces children as young as 12 are being used to carry drugs from urban to rural areas.
Reports from police in England and Wales to the National Crime Agency suggest in 42% of forces children as young as 12 are being used, but we can’t confirm yet if there are younger children involved as well.
The cost of mental ill health to the economy, the NHS and society as a whole is £105 billion a year.
The estimate that mental ill health costs around £105 billion comes from research by health charity Centre for Mental Health back in 2010.
£105 billion is an estimate of the annual economic and social costs of mental ill health from health charity Centre for Mental Health. It doesn’t just count public costs though: about half of it is made up of an estimate of the cost to individuals from the lower quality of life due to having mental health difficulties. It’s an uncertain estimate.
Half of maternity units don’t have consultants at the weekends.
Around three quarters of maternity units reported not having any consultants present overnight on weekdays, according to a survey by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
43% of maternity units don’t have a consultant present during the day at weekends, according to a survey by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
In the last eight years, university tuition fees have trebled.
Correct, they went from a maximum of £3,000 to £9,000 for students beginning higher education in England in 2011/12. They’re now at £9,250.
According to the Lisbon Treaty, in 2022 we would have to give up our sovereignty.
EU law does has supremacy over domestic law in some areas. The UK has some veto power and several opt-outs. If no EU law is applicable, UK parliament and courts are supreme. The Lisbon Treaty, which came into force in 2009, doesn’t mention anything about this changing in 2022.
The Chinese have built a railway station in nine hours.
A viral video shows a new section of track being laid on China’s railways, not a whole new station.
This isn’t quite right. The nine-hour construction project in Longyan was to upgrade an existing station by adding a new section of track connecting existing lines, not to build an entire new station.
Nine in 10 school-age girls are being sent explicit images.
Maria Miller is the latest person to misinterpret Ofsted’s survey on abuse in schools
The evidence, which comes from an Ofsted survey, does not support this claim. It found that 88% of girls said this happens among young people—not that it had happened to them.
Covid-19 vaccines have caused 172 miscarriages since January 2021.
Daily Expose has claimed that the Covid-19 vaccine is to blame for dozens of miscarriages. There is no evidence for this.
Miscarriages have been reported following vaccination, but there’s no evidence to show vaccines were the cause. The number of miscarriages reported after vaccination does not appear to exceed the number you would ordinarily expect.
The head of Ofsted wants schools to discriminate on the basis of race when hiring teachers.
Several newspapers, as well as the BBC, have reported on comments made by the Chief Inspector of Schools in England, suggesting that he supports "positive discrimination" in recruiting teachers.
Sir Michael Wilshaw said that in some cases, he would hire an equally qualified person from an ethnic minority over another. But in law, this isn't 'discrimination'.
Pre-eclampsia occurs between 26 and 32 weeks into pregnancy.
This timing refers to the recruitment criteria for a particular study looking at pre-eclampsia.
This was actually the timing for recruitment for the study the Mirror was reporting on. The NHS says that pre-eclampsia can occur from 20 weeks into pregnancy until a few weeks after delivery.
The NHS is getting an extra £34 billion, that’s the biggest increase in modern memory.
NHS England spending is set to increase by £20.5 billion between 2018/19 and 2023/24. The last time spending increased by at least that amount was between 2004/05 and 2009/10.
The £34 billion is a spending increase in real terms of £20.5 billion between 2018/19 and 2023/24. The last time spending increased by at least that amount was between 2004/05 and 2009/10.
The government spent £356 million on Buckingham Palace.
Almost—the refurbishments will cost £369 million. This will be funded by an increase in the Sovereign Grant (that’s money from the Treasury that comes from the profits of the Crown Estate).
A million people accessed a food bank last year and only 40,000 did so in 2010.
More people have access to a food bank now than in 2010, so figures for food bank use alone can’t tell us about demand.
A million food packs were given out by the Trussell Trust last year, and 40,000 in 2010. One million people using all food banks in the country is plausible, but we don’t have complete figures.
The new Covid-19 vaccine will be the first of its kind ever. It will be an mRNA vaccine which will literally alter your DNA. It will wrap itself into your system. You will become a genetically modified human being.
mRNA works by instructing cells, not altering DNA.
mRNA vaccines are some of the many vaccines being developed to combat the Covid-19 virus. However, they do not alter a person’s DNA.
Photos of a swimming pool with visitors placed between social distancing screens in the water are not real.
Photos shared on Facebook show a swimming pool where users have to stand between social distancing screens in the water.
This is genuine footage taken at the reopening of a spa in France.
The UK could not bring in safer lorry designs until the EU legislated on the matter.
Lorry design specifications are set by the EU, but the UK initially opposed its plans to allow safer lorries on the road.
The EU sets rules on permitted lorry dimensions, which we have to follow. But the EU voted to allow safer lorry designs in 2014, a plan which the UK government initially opposed.
Under Boris Johnson’s planned withdrawal agreement GDP per capita would fall by up to 7% in 10 years.
The Mirror incorrectly wrote that experts say UK GDP is expected to fall under the new Brexit deal.
Incorrect. This misreports an estimate by think tank UK in a Changing Europe. It estimated that, in one scenario, GDP per capita would be 7% lower after 10 years, compared to if the UK remained in the EU—not 7% lower than it is now.
TV presenter Richard Madeley was rushed to hospital at 4am after receiving his booster vaccine.
The presenter said he is now fine but was taken to hospital as a precaution.
It’s true that he was taken to hospital on 25 November, but he had his booster jab in early October and there’s no evidence his hospital visit was in any way linked.
The Conservatives have found homes for the 8.8 million immigrants, illegal immigrants, and asylum seekers living here.
The UN estimates that there were 8.8 million people in the UK in 2017 who were not born here, but that doesn’t mean the government has found homes for them.
Currently those without symptoms who test positive on a lateral flow are asked to order a PCR test and can only begin their isolation period when they receive the second result.
For people without symptoms, self-isolation begins from the date of the first test which returned a positive result, whether that was a lateral flow or PCR test.
False. The self-isolation period starts when someone becomes symptomatic or, if they don’t become symptomatic, from when they took their first positive test, whether that was a lateral flow or PCR test.
The Grenadier Guards’ band played the ‘Imperial March’ during Donald Trump’s state visit.
The ‘Imperial March’ was not played for Donald Trump during his UK state visit.
They did not play the song. It was edited over actual footage of the band playing a selection of US military anthems.
Sir Anthony Hopkins is the author of a short essay on personal relationships.
Similar words attributed to a different author predate attribution to Sir Anthony.
There is no evidence for this. Similar words predating the first instance of the essay being attributed to Sir Anthony have been attributed to another author.
Energy bills will rise by £500 million a year if the UK leaves the EU.
Would leaving the EU raise energy bills by £500 million a year, as claimed?
Not correct. This is one estimate of the cost of leaving the EU’s ‘internal energy market’—but leaving the EU won’t necessarily mean leaving the market. And the estimate doesn’t make any attempt to count effects of Brexit on bills.
Crime is at a record low level, according to the Crime Survey for England and Wales. The police are recording more violent and sexual offences, but these rises may not be genuine.
Crime is falling in England and Wales according to the Crime Survey. Police are recording more violent and sexual offences but these may not reflect genuine rises in the crimes.
Covid-19 vaccines cause vaccine enhancement syndrome which makes you even more vulnerable to the disease.
A Facebook post that claims people who are vaccinated may become particularly ill from ‘vaccine enhancement syndrome’ is completely wrong.
This is not true. It is based on a misreading of a MailOnline article about Covid-19 variants. There is no such thing as vaccine enhancement syndrome. The Covid vaccines do not cause antibody dependent enhancement, which may be what the post had in mind.
Unvaccinated people are not dying from Covid-19.
Large numbers of people (including vulnerable populations) have been vaccinated, and therefore PHE statistics show that there are still deaths amongst vaccinated people.
This is untrue, unvaccinated people are dying from Covid-19.
The Conservatives have scrapped the nursing bursary.
Fact checkers are funded by pharmaceutical companies.
Full Fact has never received funding from a pharmaceutical company, and a full list of major donors who gave over £5,000 is available online.
An estimated 0.5% of people arriving into the UK have Covid-19.
These were remarks by the Home Office’s Chief Scientific Advisor, which were later clarified to be wrong. 0.5% is an estimate for the proportion of reported Covid-19 cases in the UK believed to have been “imported” from abroad as of 23 March.
Men in Teesside have the same life expectancy as those in Ethiopia.
Men in one very deprived ward of Stockton have the same life expectancy as men in Ethiopia, according to figures from the World Bank in 2017. This isn’t the case for Teesside as a whole.
In World War Two, when Londoners were asked to black out their homes at night, none complained or objected.
There are multiple examples of people failing to follow Blitz guidance.
This is incorrect. There are recorded instances of numerous objections to blackout and Blitz safety measures.
More jobs — over 3 million jobs are linked to our trade with the EU, that's one in ten jobs (Source: HMT)
Estimates show around three million jobs are linked to our trade with other EU countries, but don’t tell us anything about the number of jobs linked to British membership of the EU. Nobody is forecasting that these three million jobs would be lost if we left the EU.
The Treasury has said that leaving the EU could lead to a drop in tax revenue of £66 billion.
Recent "leaks" about the £38 to £66 billion potential costs of a "Hard Brexit" are based on Treasury analysis that was published in April.
These figures aren’t new. £66 billion is the top end of an estimate the Treasury published in April.
The Covid-19 pandemic is caused by radiation
This is not true. It is caused by a virus.
Free schools are being opened in areas that do not need them.
To set up a free school in England you need to show that there’s parental demand, and either a basic shortage of places or a lack of good school places in the area.
It depends what you mean by ‘need’. 83% of free schools since 2013 have been opened in areas that need extra school places, but free schools can also be opened with the intention of driving up standards. Across this parliament, the Department for Education expects about half of new places in mainstream free schools to create spare capacity in their local area.
53 people have died in Gibraltar in 10 days after vaccinations with the Pfizer Covid-19 started.
The territory has had 70 Covid-19 deaths overall and 6 have died since getting the vaccine.
As of 27 January, out of more than 11,000 vaccinated, six have died after receiving the vaccine, but there’s no evidence these deaths were related to the vaccine. 54 have died with or of Covid-19 in Gibraltar since vaccinations started on 10 January.
Measles is at the top of the list of the MMR vaccine’s adverse reactions.
Atypical measles is listed as one of the “adverse reactions” of the MMR vaccine used in the US and one of the UK brands (it is not “top” of these lists). That’s because people vaccinated with a certain brand of measles jab in the 60s and 70s were still able to get “atypical measles” if they were exposed to a certain measles strain. The other UK brand lists “atypical measles” as a “possible side effect” as some people who were given that MMR vaccine got atypical measles if they also got the old measles jab.
Covid-19 death statistics have been manipulated.
It is true that deaths shortly after a positive test may include some people who died for other reasons. However, it also does not include people who did die of Covid later on. Information from death certificates reliably shows that, so far, there have been 152,397 fatalities where Covid-19 was mentioned as a cause of death on the death certificate.
The attainment gap between rich and poor pupils in grammar schools is virtually zero.
Is the attainment gap in grammar schools "virtually zero"?
The gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers at GCSE level is around three percentage points on average in grammar schools, compared to around 23 in other mainstream state schools. This might reflect more about the types of children that go to grammar schools rather than the effectiveness of the schools themselves.
Type 1 diabetes is listed as a side effect on the MMR vaccine package insert.
A brand of MMR vaccine used in the USA (not in the UK) lists diabetes as an ‘adverse reaction’. But that’s not the same as a side effect caused by the vaccine.
Diabetes is listed as an adverse reaction on the MMR II vaccine used in the USA. This isn’t the same as a side effect – it can refer to conditions developed by chance after someone has been vaccinated but which aren’t caused by the vaccine. Neither of the two MMR vaccines used in the UK list diabetes in their information and evidence shows there is no link between the MMR vaccine and Type 1 diabetes.
Plasma from newly recovered patients from Covid -19 can treat others infected by Covid-19.
This is being used as a treatment in some countries, but clinical trials have not yet proved that this is effective.
This is the first time the UK has finished above China in the medals table.
Correct. It's the first time since the Winter Olympics of 1980, China's first games, when the UK has finished above them in the table.
Martin Lewis, the founder of Money Saving Expert, recommends ignoring parking charge notices.
Martin Lewis has said he does not recommend this.
A photo shows an aerial drone display in Mexico City depicting a skull wearing a sombrero as part of celebrations for Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead.
A photo of what looks like a colourful drone display depicting a skull wearing a sombrero for the Mexican Day of the Dead isn’t real.
This didn’t happen. There’s no other evidence the event took place. The drone display is almost certainly a digital effect. The city in the photo isn’t Mexico City either—it was taken near Mount Fuji, Japan.
98% of junior doctors voted in favour of strikes.
It's correct that 98% of junior doctors who voted on the issue backed a strike, but not that 98% of all junior doctors voted to strike.
98% of junior doctors who are members of the British Medical Association (BMA) and who voted in the ballot said they would be prepared to strike. Not all junior doctors are members of the BMA, and not all members voted. Taken as a proportion of all junior doctors (including some not affected by the changes), roughly 46-52% voted to strike.
More than 60 frontline UK healthcare workers took their own life at the beginning of the pandemic.
Most of the suicides registered in the first half of 2020 occurred in previous years.
This data was on deaths by suicide registered in England and Wales in the first half of 2020, we don’t know how many happened in that year.. The majority of all deaths by suicides registered in the first half of 2020 actually happened before the year began.
The World Health Organisation as of June 25th has said no asymptomatic testing.
False. The WHO said it only recommended asymptomatic testing for at-risk groups.
72% of the goods that leave Belfast port come to Great Britain.
In 2016, the majority of Northern Irish goods trade sent outside its borders went to Great Britain.
This claim hasn’t been substantiated and we’ve not seen wider evidence for this. In 2016, 85% of goods which left Belfast port went to the UK, measured by their weight. 56% of all Northern Irish goods sold beyond its borders went to Great Britain, based on the value of those goods.
Covid-19 vaccines don’t prevent infection or transmission of the disease.
Evidence shows vaccines have a significant effect on the infection rate of Covid and reduce transmission.
65,000 deaths tested positive for coronavirus within 30 days of their death, so they could have died of a heart attack or a stroke or cancer, but it will go down as a Covid death.
Some deaths unrelated to Covid-19 may happen within 28 days of a positive test but this makes very little difference to the figures. Up to the week ending 15 January, 85,321 deaths were registered in England and Wales with Covid-19 recorded as the underlying cause of death by a medical professional.
Over half of Britons would ignore Christmas Covid rules.
This came from an online survey on the Express website, which means it does not represent the country as a whole.
There is no good evidence for this. It comes from a poll on the Express website, which does not represent the views of British people as a whole.
51% of coronavirus deaths in Belgium are in care facilities.
Covid-19 vaccines have killed 18,928 people in the EU, more than 11,405 people in the US, 1,470 people in the UK and 5,522 people in Scotland.
Half of these figures are incorrect and none of the reports they come from link the total number of reported deaths to vaccines.
Fibres from face masks and test swabs can cause Morgellons disease.
False. There is nothing sinister about these fibres and there is some debate as to whether Morgellons is a real disease.
The government will build 40 new hospitals.
Six hospitals in England are getting the money to upgrade their buildings within the next five years. Up to 38 hospitals are getting money to develop plans for their hospitals between 2025 and 2030, but not to actually begin any building work.
Life expectancy isn’t falling overall, but its rate of increase has slowed down in recent years. In some local areas life expectancy has decreased in the last few years, although we can’t be sure all these local estimates are showing genuine changes.
Because of this, the healthcare workers administering vaccines will be tried as war criminals because they are breaking the Nuremberg code when it comes to consenting to being part of an experiment.
Those getting the vaccine in the national roll-out are not being experimented on. They must give consent to get the vaccine which includes being given information on potential risks of both getting it and not getting it.
The daily number of Covid-19 cases seriously understates the real total because it does not count reinfections.
It is true that people testing positive for Covid-19 more than once are not counted in the daily case figures—but it would only make a small difference to the total if they were.
It’s true that reinfections are not currently counted as cases in the data, but the evidence suggests that it would only add about 1% to the total if they were.
The Covid-19 vaccine was only tested on completely healthy people.
Incorrect. The trials of the Covid-19 vaccines did include groups of people with certain medical conditions. We are also finding out more about this through post authorisation monitoring.
Cyclists on either side of a vehicle have priority when cars are turning.
Data from a new app which tracks symptoms of Covid-19 claims that up to 6.6 million people in the UK have the disease.
10% of the 650,000 people who have signed up to track their Covid-19 symptoms on a new app have symptoms. That doesn’t mean 10% of the UK has Covid-19.
This data cannot be extrapolated to the UK population. The number of people with Covid-19 may be higher, lower, or the same as claimed.
Keir Starmer has voted 48 times to take the UK back into the European Union.
The figure repeatedly quoted by Boris Johnson appears to include some votes which were not about whether or not the UK should be part of the EU.
This is not correct. The figure appears to be based on how Mr Starmer voted in 48 votes related to Brexit. But some of these votes were not about whether Britain should be part of the EU, and all but three took place before Britain left the EU. Mr Starmer has often opposed the Government in Brexit votes, but has also voted a number of times in support of Brexit.
The government have announced the end of hospital parking charges for patients.
In December it was announced that hospitals in England will have to provide free car parking to frequent hospital visitors, blue badge holders and at certain times to staff and parents of child patients.
Pfizer CEO Dr Albert Bourla was arrested on 5 November and held in custody for deceiving customers on the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine.
There’s no evidence this happened—Pfizer says the claim is false and he was not arrested.
There is no evidence to support this. Dr Bourla has been seen on television multiple times since, and a Pfizer spokesperson told Full Fact he has not been arrested.
91 people died in the attack on the King David Hotel in 1946, including 28 British people.
The flu shot contains hydrocortisone, which may cause bone weakness, adrenal fatigue, weight gain and diabetes.
Two UK flu vaccines are made using hydrocortisone, so there may be traces of it in the final product. The problems listed here are potentially side effects of taking actual hydrocortisone tablets over the long term.
Labour’s poll support is at a record low.
The Labour Party polled 18% this week. It has only polled this low once before, in May 2009.
Labour polled 18% in a YouGov poll asking people how they’d vote in a UK-wide election. This is a record low, based on data going back to 1970.
New analysis shows that the UK will be £135 billion richer with no deal.
A claim that a new analysis shows the UK will be £135 billion richer after Brexit is based on an old report from Economists for Free Trade. Most other economists think the UK will be worse off.
The analysis in question is two years old, and claims that GDP would grow by £135 billion if the UK unilaterally removed all barriers to international trade after Brexit. The analysis has been criticised by other economists, especially for its argument that the UK would not face new non-tariff barriers to trade with the EU in this scenario.
Household savings are the lowest in 50 years.
The household saving ratio has hit an all-time low, but the figures don’t quite tell the full story
This is correct, looking at total household savings as a percentage of total household incomes, although these figures don’t give the fullest picture.
A letter to The Times newspaper was signed by a Mr Martin Spiro. Records from the General Medical Council show that the only Martin Spiro registered died five years ago.
A social media post incorrectly claims that a letter written to The Times was from a doctor who died in 2016.
There are two Martin Spiros, as confirmed by the General Medical Council. One of them voluntarily removed themselves from the Council’s register in 1993. Their record was subsequently not uploaded when the register was digitised in 2005.
London's most miserable boroughs revealed to be Greenwich and Lambeth. Redbridge was ranked happiest.
How happy did you feel yesterday? There's less to this data than meets the headline.
Don't send flowers yet. The order is right but the difference between the happiness levels in these boroughs, and Redbridge at the top of the scale, is minimal. On average people across all London boroughs rate their happiness at around seven or eight out of 10.
The number of UK part-time workers unable to find full-time work increased from an average of 680,000 under the last Labour government to 1.3m under Conservative-led governments.
The number of UK part-time workers unable to find full-time work is relatively high, but the number of people overall who want more work is low.
That’s broadly correct, but the number of people overall who want more work is close to the lowest it has been in the last 25 years.
The employment rate has never been higher.
Correct according to figures available since the 1970s.
Closing the Renewables Obligation to onshore wind early will save households 30p a year.
The government's best estimate is that the early closure will cut the average household's electricity bill by 30p, but there's some uncertainty about this.
The government's best estimate is that the early closure will cut the average household's electricity bill by 30p, but there's some uncertainty to this estimate.
A study has concluded that there have been no cases of children transmitting the new coronavirus.
Newspapers have incorrectly reported the results of a review of evidence relating to Covid-19 in children.
This claim is taken out of context. It is the finding of one study among a review that found contradictory evidence about transmission of the new coronavirus in children. The review concluded that “the role of children in passing the disease to others is unknown”.
The way to cure this is antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and anticoagulants.
Antibiotics do not directly treat Covid-19, which is caused by a virus. The anti-inflammatory ibuprofen is being trialled for use against Covid-19 and an anticoagulant has been used in some Covid-19 cases. Aspirin is not a specific cure.
Tri(n) butylphosphate is in vaccines and is potentially damaging to the kidneys and the nervous system.
We can find no evidence of this being used in vaccines in the UK.
The Express has misquoted figures on the UK goods trade with the EU.
Incorrect. 46% of UK goods exports go to the EU, according to the latest data for 2019. Those exports amount to 7.7% of GDP.
Raw data from a recent Vaccine Surveillance report from the UKHSA shows a sharp drop in vaccine effectiveness against infection in most age groups
A common form of misinformation in recent months, comparing case rates does not give a reliable estimate of vaccine effectiveness.
This is based on comparing Covid-19 case rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals which is inappropriate.
Sadiq Khan worked for the Nation of Islam.
He represented the group back when he was a human rights lawyer.
Correct. He was a solicitor for the group back when he was a human rights lawyer.
The NHS has had its lowest financial settlement than any time going back to 1948.
The NHS is getting more money every year, but the rate of increase in the 2010s is smaller than in any previous decade, experts warn.
The decade from 2010 to 2020 will see the smallest annual increases in UK healthcare spending than any previous period, according to experts at The King’s Fund and Health Foundation.
The CDC has withdrawn its request for emergency use authorisation for one particular type of PCR test. This is because more efficient PCR tests are now available.
£4,300 cost to UK families if Britain leaves the EU.
The Government has released economic analysis which says British households would each be £4,300 worse off if we left the EU.
At best that’s a red herring. Most economists seem to agree that leaving the EU would cost the UK economically but this amount is an unhelpful summary of the underlying research.
The vaccine manufacturers do not have liability.
Covid-19 vaccine manufacturers are immune to some, but not all, civil liability.
Since 1987 more than 200,000 UK students have studied or worked in Europe on the Erasmus exchange programme, 15,000 in 2012 alone.
Campaigners to stay in the EU have invoked the number of UK students going abroad on the Erasmus programme. Their figures are broadly correct.
A third of teachers leave state education within five years of qualifying according to new figures.
New figures have been reported showing almost a third of teachers leave state funded schools within five years of qualifying. The figures are correct, but they follow the historical trend.
That is correct, but the figures haven’t changed a great deal for the last 15 years.
A new Covid-19 vaccine was tested on fit young military men. Of the 15 tested, 8 went to intensive care, 3 on ventilators and 5 people, four of them servicemen, are dead.
Six members of the Ukrainian military have died of Covid-19 so far, but that wasn’t anything to do with a vaccine.
In 2017/18 HMRC estimated the ‘tax gap’ (money that should have been collected in taxes but wasn’t) at around £35 billion per year. Not all of this is due to fraud.
It costs £8 per day to watch TV in hospital if you’re 82.
Costs vary by hospital. In some hospitals in England some TV channels are free for a limited number of hours, or free in children’s wards during the day. In others it can cost £8 per day for the cheapest TV package outside of these set hours, and in some hospitals it is free at all times. We’ve not seen any differences in the cost for adults based on their age.
Teachers at a school which Boris Johnson visited spelled out the words “Fuck Boris” on a wall which the Prime Minister was interviewed in front of.
They did not. These words have been added digitally.
In Wales, Track and Trace costs £32 per head.
The Welsh government has put £102 million into Test, Trace and Protect, which works out at £32 per person in Wales. It is unclear whether this funding is the total amount spent on contact tracing in Wales.
The Social Mobility Commission has said that social mobility is getting worse in Great Britain.
Thérèse Coffey said “It is not my job to worry about people starving to death in the UK”.
The fabricated quote appears to refer to an interview she gave to Sky News where she was asked about Mercy Baguma.
The mRNA Covid-19 vaccines are experimental.
The mRNA vaccines have been tested for safety and effectiveness like any other vaccine. While this is the first time mRNA vaccines have become available to the public, they have been researched for many years.
Theresa May refuses to allow the very best international doctors to come here to care for our sick.
The government limits the number of Tier 2 visas it grants each month. These are what non-EEA medical staff need to work in the UK. Nurses get priority access to these visas, but there are reports of some doctors being refused them due to government caps.
The animals in the Covid-19 vaccine trials had a 100% death rate.
Experts told Full Fact that animals in this type of trial are normally euthanised and that if animals had died due to the vaccine, human trials would have been halted.
If you do challenge someone, you could be fined under the Equality Act 2010.
This is not correct. Asking someone to wear a face covering is unlikely to be discrimination, as long as you follow government guidance.
There is reason to suspect that people who died in care homes were probably euthanized using midazolam.
People have died in care homes during the Covid-19 pandemic. While midazolam is often used in end of life care, there is no evidence to suggest that this has been used with the intention of killing people, or as part of a euthanasia policy. Euthansia remains illegal in the UK.
A photo shows Jeremy Corbyn at an IRA funeral.
The photo has been edited to include Mr Corbyn.
If you have been recently vaccinated you need to stay away from babies, young children, pregnant women, immunocompromised people, the elderly, and terminally ill people for at least two weeks minimum.
This post advising people on live vaccine exposure greatly exaggerates the risks of infection.
If you’ve recently had a live vaccine, Public Health England doesn’t generally caution against close contact with any of these groups. Experts say that the risk of transmitting a virus like this is tiny and that in general people in close contact with these groups getting vaccinated is a major benefit to them.
Leaving Euratom will not affect the UK’s ability to import medical radioisotopes - which are used to diagnose and treat certain kinds of cancer.
We don't fully know how leaving Euratom - the European common market in nuclear materials - will affect our access to them.
This isn’t certain, and will depend on what future arrangements are negotiated. The UK may find it harder to guarantee a supply after leaving.
An image shows a young Palestinian girl who grew up to be a lecturer in Canada.
Incorrect. The woman pictured is Iraqi, not Palestinian, and the ages of the girl and woman don’t match.
Jo Swinson called for a referendum on leaving or remaining in the EU in 2008.
Correct, in 2008 she said this was the policy of the Liberal Democrats.
Getting rid of EU customs union tariffs when we leave will help the worst off.
If we set lower tariffs this may bring down costs for lowest-earning households, but tariffs are just one part of a bigger economic picture.
Child poverty rose by half a million under the Coalition government.
Jeremy Corbyn claims child poverty went up by half a million under the last government. It's up by one measure, but down by another.
That's true of one measure—absolute poverty is up from 2009/10. But relative poverty is down.
Arrest rates at Notting Hill Carnival are almost identical to Glastonbury.
Figures which suggest that Notting Hill Carnival has a similar crime rate to Glastonbury are unreliable.
The figures are not reliable enough to estimate the crime rate at either event.
Spending on social care is down 8% since 2010.
Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies last year said that between 2009/10 and 2016/17, councils’ spending on adult social care in England fell 8% in real terms. Newer analysis says that it fell by 6% over the same period. We’ve asked it for more information.
After nine years of a Conservative government, police numbers are down 20%.
The total police workforce in England and Wales fell by 17% between March 2010 and March 2019, under coalition and Conservative governments. Police officer numbers fell by 14% in the same period.
The symptoms of Covid-19 are a sore throat lasting 3 or 4 days. The virus then blends into nasal fluid, enters the trachea and then the lungs causing pneumonia. With pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty breathing. The nasal congestion feels like you're drowning
This is a roughly accurate description of the most common symptoms, although not everyone with Covid-19 gets pneumonia, and the symptoms may not come in this exact order or at these times. The NHS does not mention nasal congestion that ‘feels like drowning’ as a specific symptom for Covid-19.
A photo shows that hand sanitiser is poison because it degrades metal.
The stand probably rusted from exposure to water in the gel.
The photo shows a metal hand sanitiser stand that has probably rusted due to the water contained in hand sanitiser dripping on it over time. Water isn’t harmful to human skin in the same way, and neither is alcohol.
The EU is the only place where free ports don’t really exist.
Free ports do exist within the EU, although in a more limited form than elsewhere in the world.
An image shows a woman wearing a protest sign that says “my legs are open for refugees”.
The original picture was taken in Canada in 2015, but the edited version was shared by Nigel Farage last year.
The image has been digitally altered. It is a pre-made Amnesty International sign saying “my door is open for refugees”.
Torbay and North Yorkshire councils approve the highest percentage of term-time holidays in England.
A legal case may mean that councils have to stop fining parents who take their children out of school during term time.
These two councils had the highest percentage of authorised term-time holidays in England for 2014/15. There are big differences between councils.
There are 18 million GP appointments a year for self-treatable conditions.
This is a very rough figure based on uncertain and out of date data. It uses self-reported data from about 60 GPs on 5,000 appointments in 2015, and applies this to the total number of GP appointments in 2008.
An Israeli study showed that vaccinated people were 27 times more likely to catch Covid-19 than unvaccinated people.
This is very misleading. The study compared vaccinated people with unvaccinated people who had been previously infected. It did not show that vaccinated people were more likely to catch Covid-19 than unvaccinated people in general.
49% think Theresa May should stand down.
Leicester is going back into lockdown soon after 5G was rolled out there.
Leicester is one of many cities which has 5G coverage.
5G coverage was available in Leicester by November 2019, months before Covid-19 was detected in the UK. 5G is not linked to cases of Covid-19. Leicester had some lockdown restrictions re-imposed because the number of cases there was increasing.
Three quarters of maternity units don’t have consultants present overnight during the week.
This is correct, according to a survey by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
A video shows overcrowding in St Mary’s Hospital, London and Covid-19 patients lying on the floor in corridors.
A video sent by a reader was claimed to show Covid-19 patients lying on the floor of St Mary’s Hospital, London. The video was actually filmed in two different Madrid hospitals in mid-March.
Incorrect, the clip is actually two videos filmed in hospitals in Madrid in mid-March.
The Wuhan coronavirus is a more virulent version of the normal cold.
The new coronavirus observed in Wuhan is a virus in the same family of viruses as the common cold, but is a different illness.
We pay about £350 million a week to the EU budget.
The UK pays around £250 million a week to the EU, not £350 million.
Government figures say that a hard Brexit will mean £100 billion is added to the UK’s public sector debt.
The most recent figures can’t tell us how much of an impact Brexit has had on the Office for Budget Responsibility's forecast for public sector debt.
The most recent forecast put public sector net debt at over £160 billion higher in 2020/21 compared with the previous year’s forecast. But the forecasters, from the Office for Budget Responsibility, told us that there are a lot of factors behind this change. In November 2016 it said that voting to leave the EU would add £15.2 billion to the debt by 2020/21.
Frank Lampard said FIFA is “corrupted” and that it hates Cristiano Ronaldo.
A Facebook post claims Frank Lampard made a number of inflammatory comments about footballing body FIFA.
There is no legitimate source for this quote.
Italy’s national debt is worth €2.4 trillion.
Dr Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for showing that cancer cannot survive in an alkaline, oxygen-rich environment, but thrives in an acidic, low oxygen environment.
This is incorrect, he won for his discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
The UK Vaccine Damage Payment has paid out over £74 million since 1978.
The UK Vaccine Damage Payment provides payments to people who are severely disabled by vaccines.
This is correct, between 1978 and April 2017. Just over 900 payments were made in total.
London has the best schools in the country as a result of government spending.
London pupils outperform those in every other English region for getting good GCSEs, and experts say that a government-funded programme made a big contribution to this.
66% of coronavirus deaths in France are from care facilities.
Incorrect. The ECDC report says 66% of cases reported by long term care facilities were in nursing homes for the elderly. Around 50% of all deaths were in long term care facilities for all age groups.
Public Health England says it has not found evidence that 5G is a risk to human health.
Jose Mourinho was sacked as manager of Tottenham Hotspur after refusing to take training due to the European Super League announcement.
Some social media users have fabricated quotes about the super league attributed to Klopp and Ferguson. We spoke to one of them.
There is no evidence he was sacked for this reason. This was claimed by a Twitter user who’s made false claims in the past.
More people are waiting more than four hours to be seen in A&E since the Conservatives took power.
The number of people waiting four hours in all types of A&E in England in 2015/16 is higher than in 2010/11. More people are going to A&E but the percentage of people seen within four hours has also f
The number of people waiting four hours in all types of A&E in England in 2015/16 is higher than in 2010/11. More people are going to A&E but the percentage of people seen within four hours has also fallen.
Hundreds of GPs are asking patients to prove they need face-to-face appointments in a three-minute telephone call, before they see them.
About 180 GP surgeries are using initial telephone consultations (telephone triage) systematically to manage high demand for their services (out of about 7,700 practices in England).
We haven’t seen evidence that GPs are asking patients to prove they need to see them over the telephone. Some people do have concerns about whether taking initial consultations over the phone provides the best quality of care, saves GPs time overall, or saves the NHS money.
Dr Anthony Fauci has said that Covid-19 vaccines don’t protect against Covid or death.
He said evidence shows immunity from vaccines decreases over time.
He didn’t. He actually said that evidence from Israel had shown that immunity against Covid-19, hospitalisation from it, and to a certain extent deaths from it, appeared to decrease over time.
This is not true. About 0.23% of the entire UK population has already died with Covid-19.
If the rate of infection in late June continues for nine months, the UK will experience 27,000 more deaths from Covid-19.
This is too high. This estimate was calculated using data on when deaths were reported, not when they happened. It also suggests an unrealistically high death rate, given the number of infections at the time.
The World Health Organisation changed the definition of what a pandemic is and removed conditions such as cases of serious illness or death.
There has been ongoing debate about a change in the text used on a WHO website regarding pandemic influenza in 2009. Covid-19 was declared the world’s first coronavirus pandemic in 2020, based on factors such as “alarming levels of spread and severity”.
Funding for some early help services in England has fallen by £1.8 billion from 2010 to 2015
The government says it's increased funding for early help for vulnerable children, but charities say funding is down. It depends on what services you count.
Research by charities backs this up but only counts funding allocated directly to local authorities. Counting other funding can show a smaller fall.
More than 450 mosques have opened in London.
That’s correct. There are probably around 477 mosques, Islamic centres, prayer rooms and halls for hire in London.
Wind generates about 10% of the UK's power
That's right—it generated 10% of the UK's electricity in 2014/15, although the amount varied within the year.
The majority of free schools have been opened in areas where there is a need for school places and in areas of disadvantage.
83% of free schools opened since 2013 were in areas where there was a need for places. We’ve asked the Department for Education for more information about the claim that the majority of free schools were opened in areas of disadvantage.
The Conservatives have had only three female MPs represent their party at Prime Minister’s Questions since 1997.
Both the Conservatives and Labour have had three women in total representing their respective parties at Prime Minister’s Questions since 1997 (either as leaders, or as representatives of the leader).
If you get stabbed, open a tampon and whack it in the wound. The tampon will swell, which creates pressure and stops the bleeding.
The most important thing is to apply pressure to the wound and dial 999.
Several first aid experts told us not to do this, as it may not work and could risk further harm. You should put pressure on the wound with something like a bandage, towel, or even a piece of clothing, and call 999.
The government orchestrated the fuel panic to sell off soon-to-expire fuel stocks built up during the pandemic.
There is no evidence of this. There wasn’t a build up of fuel stocks during the pandemic. Supply fell to meet reduced demand.
Last year almost half of maternity units in England were forced to close their doors.
Half of the NHS trusts in England that responded to an FOI were forced to close at least one of their maternity units temporarily in 2017.
41 of the 89 NHS trusts in England that responded to an FOI request were forced to close at least one of their units temporarily in 2017. 46 trusts didn’t provide any information and we don’t know how many individual maternity units had to close.
90% of all trade through the Port of Southampton is to and from non-EU countries.
In 2016 it was estimated that 90% of exports (by value) from the Port of Southampton went to non-EU countries.
To minimise the risk of catching the new coronavirus, you should use public transport only when necessary, avoid kissing and shaking hands, and make visitors wash their hands as soon as they enter your house.
Official Public Health England advice does not recommend any of these things.
Incorrect. Covid-19 has killed more people than flu in a given season and is caused by a different organism.
Black Caribbean students are three times more likely to be permanently excluded than other children.
Black Caribbean students are three times more likely to be permanently excluded from school than all children. They are also twice as likely to be excluded as all black students.
This is correct, although gypsy/Roma students and travellers of Irish heritage were most likely to be excluded.
Record numbers of young people are going to university, including more people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The number and proportion of young people, including disadvantaged students, attending university is now increasing.
Mostly correct at the time, and now correct on all measures. Some figures produced by government statisticians showed a slight dip in the proportion of disadvantaged students attending university when the claim was made. Newer data now suggests that this was temporary and that the longer term picture is one of generally increasing numbers.
Under a more proportional voting system, UKIP would have around 100 seats.
UKIP got 12.4% of the vote in 2015 but had just one MP elected.
80 seats is plausible, based on UKIP’s vote in 2015, although it depends on the voting system.
Test and Trace cost 10 times more than the mission to Mars.
We don’t yet have figures for the entire amount spent on Test and Trace, but it is already more than NASA has spent on its latest Mars mission.
This needs context. Test and Trace has a budget of £22 billion but the last figures, to October, show just £4 billion had been spent. NASA expects to spend £1.9 billion on the Perseverance rover.
The government’s own research says that Boris Johnson’s Brexit proposals would lead to a 6.7% drop in GDP.
The government estimated a free trade agreement Brexit could lead to GDP being 6.7% lower after 15 years than if the UK remained in the EU. That’s not the same as saying this form of Brexit will lead to a drop in GDP compared to now.
32 million people were estimated to be in work in 2019.
Flu and heart attacks went away this year.
A drop in flu cases in both the US and UK was likely down to measures brought in to stop Covid-19. Heart attacks have not gone away.
One in seven workers are self-employed, and the number is growing.
Jeremy Corbyn has claimed at Labour's annual conference that self-employed people make up one in seven of the labour force. We investigate.
One in seven is right, and the number and proportion of workers that are self-employed has been rising since the early 2000s, although it has fluctuated.
The Conservatives’ ambition is a state pension age of 75.
The recommendation to raise the pension age to 75 comes from the Centre for Social Justice think tank. There’s no evidence that it’s Conservative Party policy.
This was recommended in a report by the Centre for Social Justice think tank. There’s no indication that it’s Conservative party policy.
97% of positive PCR tests for the Covid-19 virus are false.
A clip of a woman calling a Bristol hospital claiming most of its “positive” cases are false has been shared on social media.
Theoretically, this could happen at a time of extremely low prevalence, but is not true overall.
Myocarditis has been listed on Covid-19 vaccine labels in Japan as a potential side effect.
This is true. However, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare says the chances of contracting it are “extremely rare”.
We import flowers from Kenya under WTO rules.
Trade between the EU and Kenya is governed by a trade agreement. That’s different to trading under WTO terms.
Incorrect. Kenya-EU trade is governed by a trade agreement that supersedes WTO rules and removes tariffs on the import of Kenyan flowers to the EU.
An independent Scotland wouldn’t be forced to join the euro once it applied to rejoin the EU.
The EU requires most member states to commit to adopting the euro at some point, but in practice it’s unclear whether member states would or could be forced to do so.
New member states are officially required to adopt the euro at some point unless they have negotiated specific opt-outs, but in practice it's unclear whether members would or could be forced to.
Per head, Norway pays almost the same amount into the EU budget as the UK.
The cost of EU membership was a major issue during the referendum. Now that we've voted to leave, joining Norway in the EEA is one option. That costs, too.
Norway’s payments linked to its relationship with the EU are around two thirds of what the UK pays per head of population, before money comes back. Comparing payments after money comes back is difficult, but seems to narrow the gap still further.
Masks decrease oxygen intake, increase carbon dioxide intake, increase toxin intake, increase stress levels which directly impacts the immune system in a negative way making us more susceptible to illness.
Fabric and medical face masks should not affect breathing and the NHS says they are safe for anyone over the age of three who can manage them correctly. Certain types of masks called respirators can affect gas exchange, but can still be safely worn for several hours in a row in healthcare environments. There’s no evidence masks harm the immune system.
The delays in cancer care waiting times are the longest since targets were first introduced.
An NHS target for the proportion of cancer patients being treated within 62 days of referral is being missed. In January the proportion meeting the target was the lowest since 2009.
There are a number of cancer care waiting times. Targets for the proportion of patients being treated within 62 days of being urgently referred by a GP are being missed. In January 2017 the proportion meeting the target was the lowest since targets were set in 2009. The rest of the targets were all hit.
The claim has been going round since a Spanish professor got a vial of what claimed to be Pfizer vaccine in the post, and said it looked like graphene oxide through a microscope.
False. The Covid-19 vaccines do not contain graphene oxide.
If we leave the EU, fuel bills will be lower.
Leaving aside the wider economic impacts of leaving the EU, if we vote to leave the government could choose to remove the 5% VAT rate on fuel as Vote Leave has suggested. Having the power to do this doesn’t necessarily mean energy bills will be lower if we leave.
The rise in “platform work” shows that UK workers are increasingly likely to patch together a living from multiple different sources.
There isn’t enough evidence to say this.
The mRNA Covid-19 vaccines have not been tested on animals.
False. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been tested on animals.
Mr Choudhury’s fine was paid out of his benefits.
It was reported at the time that Mr Choudhury received benefits and had a part-time job. We don’t know who paid the fine.
Membership of the single market has led to wage suppression over the last 12 years.
Whatever the answer is, it won’t be simple.
We haven’t seen evidence to prove that membership of the single market suppressed wages in the last 12 years.
Dominic Raab said that Covid-19 tests have a 93% false positive rate.
Mr Raab was referring to a PHE report on testing at airports and seems to have misspoken when he mentioned false positives.
Mr Raab appears to have mis-spoken. He was talking about the success rate of detecting Covid-19 when people arrive at airports. Evidence suggests that false positives are rare in the most common Covid-19 tests.
The Spanish Flu wasn’t a flu virus, it was a bacteria that caused severe and lethal pneumonia.
Experts say that there is ‘no way’ that a meningitis vaccine could contribute to starting a flu epidemic.
The 1918 flu pandemic, also known as Spanish Flu, was caused by the influenza A H1N1 virus. There is evidence that many of the people who died in the pandemic may have had an additional bacterial pneumonia.
Incorrect. This is the total number of homes added to the overall housing stock since 2010/11, or the number of new homes built since 2009/10.
Lateral flow tests show a positive result with things like cola and orange juice.
This is inaccurate. While testing food stuffs can return what appears to be a positive result, this is a misuse of the test and returns an invalid result.
Britons have spent £4bn stockpiling goods in case of no-deal Brexit.
A survey claiming that Britons have spent £4 billion on Brexit stockpiling likely over-counted the amount being stockpiled.
This is almost certainly an exaggeration. The survey it’s based on likely overestimates the amount that has been stockpiled, and consumer spending data shows no evidence of people stockpiling to this degree.
The Conservative government is investing an extra £10 billion in the NHS, more than its leaders asked for.
The claim that the government is investing an extra £10 billion in the NHS, more than its leaders asked for, shouldn’t be taken at face value.
Warburtons has decided to stop sourcing the majority of its flour from British farmers and will now source its flour through a Canadian and American deal with Frontier.
The company changed suppliers but it will continue to get some of its wheat from the UK and some from Canada.
Warburtons have changed their grain trader contract but they will still get their wheat from Canada and the UK, as they did previously. They don’t buy any wheat from the USA.
Drinking a glass of water before taking a bath helps lower blood pressure.
The UK is the second largest economy in the EU.
The UK is the EU’s second largest economy after Germany, or third after Germany and France, depending on the measure of GDP you look at.
The UK is either the second or third largest economy in the EU, depending on the measure used.
Not quite, the exact fall depends which currency you compare it to. It’s fallen by 12% against the Euro and 5% against the US Dollar since May 2016.
If people stopped getting tested, the government wouldn’t see the number of cases, and we wouldn’t have more lockdowns.
Covid-19’s prevalence in the community is measured by more than the number of positive tests.
The number of positive cases isn’t the only measure used to understand the spread of the virus. The number of tests and things like test positivity are also used. A lack of testing might lead to an extended pandemic.
Genetically modified yeast, animal, bacterial and viral DNA in vaccines can be incorporated into the recipient’s DNA causing unknown genetic mutations.
Modified DNA can be used in the production of some vaccines, but is very unlikely to end up in the final product. Even if it did, there’s no evidence it can cause mutations.
The Covid vaccination programme is a medical experiment.
The approved vaccines have been through clinical trials, and patients already give informed consent.
No it isn’t. The vaccines have been approved for use after clinical trials.
Benefit fraud and error costs the UK taxpayer £3 billion per year.
It’s estimated that £3.9 billion is overpaid to claimants due to fraud or claimant error, and £1.3 billion is underpaid to claimants due to claimant error. That gives a balance of £2.6 billion.
The Astrazeneca vaccine in the UK causes blood clots.
A Facebook post made unevidenced claims about blood clots and the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine is not associated with an increased overall risk of blood clotting disorders. There have been a small number of cases of a rare type of blood clot following vaccination. It is not clear whether this is linked to the vaccine or not, and this is being closely monitored by regulatory bodies.
The most recent data shows that 15% of households that use Trussell Trust foodbanks include at least one person with some work or employment income.
Correct. Around 15% of households surveyed when using Trussell Trust foodbanks between October and December 2016 included at least one person with some work or income from employment, according to a recent academic study. We don’t know about the people using food banks not run by the Trussell Trust.
Delaying a decision about which runway to build costs the UK economy £6 million every day.
There's three shortlisted projects for airport expansion. MPs suggested that delaying the decision costs the UK between £2 million and £7 million a day.
Whether or not you agree that a delay in the decision is imposing unnecessary costs on the UK economy, this probably isn’t the best estimate of what those costs are. Any precise figure will be uncertain.
The UK currently trades with Japan under an EU trade agreement. The economic benefits of the new UK-Japan deal are relative to having no agreement, not to trading under the existing agreement.
These estimated benefits are relative to 2018 when the UK (as part of the EU) had no FTA with Japan. It’s not relative to the existing EU-Japan trade deal which currently governs trade between the UK and Japan.
Sir Keir Starmer has never said that he wanted the UK to remain in the European Medicines Agency after Brexit.
He expressed this opinion on at least two occasions, in 2017.
This is not true. He said at least twice that the UK should seek to remain in the European Medicines Agency.
Under the last government, social welfare cases receiving legal aid fell from 470,000 to 53,000.
Figures given to the Labour conference are right: in 2009/10, the legal aid scheme funded advice in 460,000 social welfare cases. In 2013/14 it was 53,000.
Lord Falconer, Shadow Secretary of State for Justice
These figures are correct. Cases about community care, debt, employment, housing and welfare benefits that got publicly funded legal advice and assistance fell 89% from 2009/10 to 2013/14.
19 Liberal Democrat MPs refused to support a motion to stop privatisation of the NHS.
Lib Dems abstained from a motion regretting that the government hasn’t pledged to repeal the 2012 Health and Social Care Act, which extended health privatisation.
The motion in question would not have stopped privatisation in the NHS, nor would it have necessarily repealed the Health and Social Care Act.
Bill Gates and the UK government are contributing £400 million each to a new fund designed to boost green investment.
The entrepreneur said both his organisation and the UK government were contributing £400 million each to a new fund.
This is not correct. The new fund is worth £400 million in total, with each party contributing £200 million.
In the last eight years, Education Maintenance Allowance has been taken away.
It was removed in England at the end of the 2010/11 school year, and replaced by a new bursary scheme. Government research suggests the new scheme has lowered participation in further education among students previously eligible for EMA.
Scientists find sniffing rosemary can increase memory by 75%.
A Facebook post based on a small research study falsely claims rosemary massively boosts memory.
There is no record of a 75% boost beyond a quote in the Daily Mail. One of the study’s authors has since said it was actually 7.5%.
Elephant tusks and rhino horns are being dyed pink to stop poachers killing these animals.
There is a scheme to dye the inside of rhino horns pink, but this did not affect their outside appearance.
This claims refers to a real scheme to deter poachers, but dyeing rhino horns does not lead to the bright exterior as the picture suggests—the pictures have been doctored. This scheme has only been used on rhinos, not elephants.
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said: “The danger is that pupils will be overpromoted into jobs that are beyond their competence.”
Comments about A-level results incorrectly attributed to the Education Secretary have been widely shared.
This is not true and does not accurately reflect comments Mr Williamson made in The Daily Telegraph. This incorrect paraphrasing seems to have begun as a joke.
The Treasury has backtracked on its stated original aim about Help to Buy ISAs
This isn’t correct. The scheme was always intended to support the part of a house purchase that’s funded by the buyer, commonly known as a ‘deposit’ or ‘mortgage deposit’. The Treasury never said that it was meant to help with the initial exchange deposit that’s put down when contracts are exchanged.
We make one of the biggest contributions to the EU budget.
Correct. The UK contributes roughly the third largest sum of money into the EU budget behind Germany and France, and a similar amount to Italy.
The vaccines won’t stop me getting Covid-19.
They most likely will. All the vaccines available are highly effective at preventing Covid-19 development.
NHS 111 has directed triple the number of people to GPs and A&E in 2014 compared to 2013.
Referrals have doubled in that time, but so have calls. That's partly due to the service being rolled out fully in 2013.
On existing trends, it will take 50 years for 50% of Queen’s Counsel to be female.
This is based on the change over the last year, but that doesn’t tell us much about what exactly will happen over 50. That said, the essence of the point is correct: gender parity is a long way off.
For every gram of cocaine consumed, four square kilometres of rainforest are destroyed
Incorrect. This is a typo from a claim made in 2008 which said 4 square metres not kilometres of rainforest are destroyed for every gram of cocaine. This estimate doesn’t appear to be true in 2016.
Covid-19 deaths in care homes are rising.
Keir Starmer was right, in one way, to say that deaths in care homes were rising. In another way, Boris Johnson was right to disagree.
This was true at the time, by one measure. By another measure it was probably not true. Now it seems clearer that deaths in care homes from suspected Covid-19 are falling.
Supermarket prices for bacon have gone up, partly because of the UK’s vote to leave the EU.
Contrary to one report, the vote to leave the EU hasn't pushed up retail prices for bacon.
This is incorrect. Wholesale prices for bacon products have risen in the past few months, partly due to a fall in the exchange rate after the UK voted to leave the EU. But the price paid in shops has fallen this year.
A video shows recent Russian attacks on Ukraine.
The video appeared online almost a month before the Russian invasion.
The video appeared online in January 2022, so is not from the invasion of Ukraine which started on 24 February.
Hate preacher Abu Qatada called for the death of soldiers and faced no action for his crimes.
We could find no specific evidence Qatada called for the death of soldiers, though he has advocated terrorism. Qatada was extradited to Jordan for terrorism charges in 2013 after spells in and out of UK prisons. He was cleared of terrorism offences in Jordan.
There was no extra money announced for social care this week.
Correct. The Prime Minister announced more money would be given to the NHS in England and has said that the budget for social care will be announced at a detailed review of public spending planned in 2019.
We were promised a ‘punishment budget’ before the referendum.
Sort of. Remain campaigners published a 7-page ‘Brexit Budget’ which gave rough, hypothetical figures for the kind of cuts that would be needed if the UK voted to leave the EU, the pre-referendum economic forecasts were correct and the government still wanted to run a balanced budget in 2020/21. It was presented by George Osborne, then Chancellor of the Exchequer.
1 million people bid for 85,000 apprenticeship places last year.
The figures are incomplete and only cover part of the year. They also only show applications not applicants.
FFP3 respirators provide 99% protection against Covid-19.
FFP3 respirators will filter out 99% of particles and are recommended as personal protective equipment for people working with Covid-19 patients.
Shamima Begum has been flown back or is due to be flown back to the UK.
There is no evidence for this and it’s circling online with known false claims.
The vaccines have caused deaths and injuries.
The MHRA has determined a possible link between the AstraZeneca vaccine and a rare blood clot which has caused 72 deaths in the UK to 18 August 2021.
This image shows a naked child trying to “escape” Buckingham Palace.
This is not true. It is an image from a viral hoax created to promote a TV drama.
Income tax and tax on whisky go to England to be spent on English priorities.
Most income tax is kept by the Scottish government. Tax on whisky and other taxes go to the UK Treasury but when money is spent on England-only policy areas, the Scottish government receives money back.
Up until 26 May 2021 there have been 888,196 adverse reactions to Covid-19 vaccines and 1,253 deaths where doctors have acknowledged that it is caused by the jab.
These are the numbers of potential adverse reactions and deaths that happened around the time of vaccination, as reported by clinicians and members of the public to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme. This does not necessarily mean the vaccine caused that reaction or event.
Deaths after Covid-19 vaccines have overtaken the number of Covid-19 deaths in “healthy” people that occurred in 2020.
This claim is based on mismatched sets of data, which are misleadingly presented to draw false conclusions. The two figures used do not cover the same time period or same UK nations.
A study on the effects of Covid vaccines during pregnancy shows 82% of respondents miscarried, contrary to what its authors claimed.
Study did not show 82% of pregnancies end in miscarriage after Covid vaccination.
This claim is misleading and based on an incorrect calculation. The study it is based on found the rates of miscarriage were no different to those before Covid-19, although it concedes that further research is needed.
The coordinates of the Great Pyramid of Giza is 29.9792458°N
This is only one coordinate, giving its latitude but not its longitude. It is also only one of many lines of latitude that pass through the pyramid.
19 million people in the UK have already been infected with the new coronavirus.
New findings that 19 million people in the UK have already had the new coronavirus are very uncertain.
This is according to a new piece of statistical research, but this research has been challenged by other scientists and is highly uncertain. Other early estimates have estimated the prevalence to be lower, but it’s impossible to tell how accurate these will turn out to be.
In Scotland, the fully vaccinated account for nine in every 10 Covid-19 deaths over the past four months.
Broadly correct. It’s more like eight in 10. People who have been vaccinated at least once account for around nine in 10 Covid-19 deaths.
The Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine contains human foetal cells.
There is a process involved in producing the vaccine which uses clones of cells which were originally derived from an aborted human foetus. But as the cells are clones, they are not actually from a foetus themselves.
The risk of a child dying of Covid-19 is around one in 3.5 million.
While children have a very low risk of dying from Covid, the reported death rate of 1 in 3.5 million is not quite right.
The risk of a child dying of Covid is very low, but this figure refers to the England and Wales death rate as of May last year, when more people had it so chances of getting ill were higher. Estimates suggest perhaps 1 in 100,000 children who catch Covid die of it, but, in the UK at least, there are very few infections so the risk will be lower.
There has not been a recession, or 500,000 to 800,000 job losses since the EU referendum.
Relative child poverty has increased for three consecutive years and now stands at 4.1 million, or 30% of children.
Over the long term, UK absolute child poverty is down while relative child poverty is stable. Each measure has its own strengths and weaknesses.
Correct, looking at relative poverty after housing costs. Over the long term, absolute child poverty in the UK is down while relative child poverty is stable, after housing costs.
Having 10 or more sexual partners increases cancer risk by 90% for women and 69% for men.
There is no evidence that having 10 or more sexual partners directly increases the risk of cancer for either gender.
There is no evidence that having 10 or more sexual partners causes cancer in men or women.
The BBC is increasing the licence fee by £3.
The Sun was wrong to suggest the BBC had increased the licence fee. The government sets the licence fee.
The licence fee is increasing by £3 a year but it is the government and not the BBC which sets the fee.
Rishi Sunak said someone on an income of £24,000 pays income tax of £180.
The tweet misunderstood what the Chancellor said.
Rishi Sunak was referring to the increase in national insurance someone on £24,000 would have to pay when he mentioned £180, not their total income tax bill.
The wife of the CEO of Pfizer has died of complications from the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
This story is a fabrication. Myriam Bourla is alive and well.
This is not true. She is alive and well.
Human rights laws and court judgments cost the UK billions, or alternatively, millions.
Be wary of any attempt to tell you what human rights laws and court rulings 'cost' the government or the economy in the UK. The question has no easy answer.
The direct cost to the state of European Court of Human Rights judgments has been several million pounds in the past 15 years. Claims in the billions rely on doing effective calculations for the wider cost to the UK, which is impossible.
There have been about 1,500 deaths in police custody since 1990, and about one third of those who died were from black and minority ethnic backgrounds.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission published new statistics on deaths in police custody today.
About a tenth of identified deaths in police custody were people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. This is based on figures from the charity INQUEST, which has identified 1563 deaths in total during or following police contact in England and Wales since 1990
A photo of William Shatner in uniform for the Blue Origin space mission was clearly photoshopped using an image of Jeff Bezos in the same uniform. This is proof the mission didn’t happen.
A photo of William Shatner circulating on Facebook is digitally manipulated - but it isn’t proof the Blue Origin space launch was faked.
This one photo does not prove anything. The image is faked, but that doesn’t mean the space mission was. There is extensive footage of Shatner before the launch, in space and after landing.
Certain fizzy drinks are full of colouring and chemicals.
Correct, and artificial colours have been linked to hyperactivity among children.
The number of GP training places is rising.
This is correct in England, although not all the places are being filled.
62,000 people a day are tested for Covid-19 in the UK.
We don’t know how many people are being tested, but it is more than 62,000, which only includes people newly tested in England.
Japan has banned Black Lives Matter apparel and demonstrations such as taking the knee or raising a fist.
Rules prohibiting demonstrations or protests at Olympic venues have been in place for decades.
It is true that political, religious and racial protests are banned at Olympic sites and venues, but this applies to all such demonstrations, not just BLM. Japan did not make this decision—the rule has been in place for decades and is implemented by the International Olympic Committee.
The cladding used on Grenfell Tower has previously been banned in the USA.
Correct. The cladding used on Grenfell Tower is been banned on tall building in some parts of the USA.
Vaccines do not interact with your DNA in any way.
The reported numbers of cases of Covid-19 are misleading because asymptomatic people with a positive test would not normally be counted as a “case”.
It is a common practice to count a “case” without symptoms for many infectious diseases.
The prison population has doubled in 25 years.
The prison population was about 45,000 in England and Wales in 1990 and 1991 and is now about 86,000.
It almost has, from 45,000 at the start of the 1990s to around 86,000 today in England and Wales. Prisons have been overcrowded almost constantly for the last two decades.
An earlier version of the Dubs Amendment specified that the government should accept 3,000 child refugees from Europe.
Theresa May changed the law to remove protection from Commonwealth citizens and Diane Abbott voted against the change.
Theresa May, Diane Abbott and the Immigration Act 2014
Diane Abbott did vote against the law that changed the rules for Commonwealth citizens. The government disputes that this removes protection.
Ofcom has rules that the Green Party can't take part in the televised leaders' debates.
It's not the regulator's call, but keeping the Greens off the list of 'major parties' means broadcasters are legally entitled to leave them out of the debates.
The number of hospital beds for people with acute mental health conditions has fallen by 30%.
These years aren’t comparable due to a change in collection method from 2010. Between 2010 and 2017 there was a 22% drop.
Only 17,500 people have died of Covid in England and Wales.
More than 140,000 people have died of Covid-19 in England and Wales so far.
Incorrect. The true number is more than 140,000. 17,500 is roughly how many of these people did not have other pre-existing conditions.
The UK government has licensed £4.7bn of arms to Saudi Arabia since the Yemen war started.
The UK has licensed at least £5.5bn of arms to Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners during the Yemen War. But not all licences are ultimately exported.
The UK has licensed at least £4.7bn of arms exports to Saudi Arabia and £860m to its coalition partners. These don’t include all licences but also not all licences result in goods ultimately being exported.
20,000 people a day who are sick with Covid-19 are not isolating.
Jonathan Ashworth’s claim is a misunderstanding of figures used by Test and Trace boss Dido Harding.
This is a misunderstanding of figures which roughly estimated that 20,000 people a day who are asked to isolate by NHS Test and Trace (having either tested positive or come into contact with someone who has) do not do so fully.
The Covid-19 vaccine might kill children who receive it.
This is not impossible, but the risk appears to be extremely small. We can find no evidence of a child dying as a result of a Covid-19 vaccine in the UK.
The UK takes part in free trade agreements with 50 countries because of our EU membership.
The EU has concluded trade agreements with around 50 countries outside the Union—some "classic" free trade agreements, and others more wide-ranging.
The EU lists 50 countries with which it currently has a trade agreement of one kind or another.
Social care has been slashed by £7.7 billion since 2010.
Just under 97,000 nurses voluntarily resigned from the NHS in England between 2010 and 2018. Overall the number of nurses working in the NHS is higher than in 2010.
This figure refers to the savings councils in England report having had to make since 2010 on adult social care spending—through things like efficiency measures, renegotiating contracts, innovation, reducing and stopping services. It’s not the amount their budgets were reduced by, which have fallen by much less.
Diagnostic tests were relabelled as Covid-19 diagnostic tests in some trade data, which then appeared to show Covid tests being exported in 2018.
Incorrect. Confusion arose due to the fact that a trade export website changed the name of a number of medical diagnostic test exports to “COVID-19 Diagnostic Test”.
Since 2010 the number of fire safety audits and inspections carried out has gone down by a quarter.
Correct, since 2010/11 they’ve gone down by about 25%.
Germany’s second biggest export market is China.
Incorrect. In 2017 France was Germany’s second largest export market, and China was third.
Incorrect. Several reliable sources indicate that overall violent crime in England and Wales is far lower now than it was in the 1990s. Police figures show violent crimes at their highest recorded level, but these are unreliable.
A Facebook post claims 4,300 Tesco workers are getting sacked and this is why you shouldn’t use self checkout machines.
There is no evidence Tesco is sacking 4,300 staff. Tesco has confirmed this is not true.
The government spent £2 million on a royal wedding.
We don’t know exactly, but £2 million is probably in the right ballpark in terms of the policing costs for Princess Eugenie’s upcoming wedding.
The Conservatives haven’t put a figure on their proposed cap on adult social care costs.
The Prime Minister has said the party intends to consult on a cap on adult social care costs in England. There are no details yet on what the cap might look like.
The government hasn’t said what the proposed cap on adult social care costs in England might look like. It will be included in a consultation after the election.
Taxpayers will pick up a £2 million security bill for Eugenie’s wedding.
Local police will provide security for Princess Eugenie’s wedding. The cost is unconfirmed but reported estimates of £2 million seem in the right ballpark.
This hasn’t been confirmed, but seems in the right ballpark based on reported costs for previous weddings.
Water bills are up 40% since privatisation.
Water bills rose sharply after privatisation in 1989 but have been falling slightly in recent years, due to regulatory oversight.
Correct in real terms in England and Wales between 1989 and 2014/15. Most of that rise happened between 1989 and 1995. Bills have fallen slightly in real terms since 2009/10.
Tetanus is an anaerobic bacteria meaning it can't survive in oxygenated environments and because blood has oxygen in it, if the wound bled, there is no risk of tetanus.
Although the bacteria requires anaerobic conditions, the spores can survive in many different environments for a long time and therefore it is incorrect to say that a wound that bleeds eliminates any risk of tetanus.
The Covid-19 vaccine is a “device” and does not fulfil the legal definition of a vaccine.
None of the Covid-19 vaccines available in the UK are “devices” and all have been authorised for use as vaccines by the MHRA.
If you arrive from the beaches of Northern France today you get a TV licence for free, along with a house to watch it in.
This refers to migrants arriving in the UK across the English Channel, and is not correct. Migrants are expected to pay for their own TV licence, and their accommodation can include hostels and bed and breakfasts.
An image from Parliament shows that no Labour MPs turned up to a debate about the NHS.
The House of Commons was nearly empty at the end of January 15 because this was an adjournment debate.
The image appears to be real, but it comes from an adjournment debate. It is common for MPs (of all parties) to not attend adjournment debates, because they do not involve voting on decisions.
British pupils are suffering because teachers are struggling to cope with an influx of foreign students speaking different languages.
It's been claimed that increasing numbers of pupils with English as an additional language is affecting the performance of their peers.
The proportion of pupils with English as an additional language has been rising. But research suggests the performance of pupils with English as their first language isn't affected by this.
Filling up your car in hot weather could cause the fuel tank to explode.
The auto-combustion point of fuel is much, much higher than a car’s fuel tank could feasibly reach.
Fuel systems in cars are designed to cope with summer heat. The auto-combustion point of fuel is much, much higher than a car’s fuel tank could feasibly reach.
A “scary” picture of a child with Mickey and Minnie Mouse was taken at Disney World in the 1940s.
Walt Disney didn’t open his first theme park until 1955.
The picture does appear to be a genuine vintage image of a child with Mickey and Minnie Mouse characters. But it was not taken at a Disney theme park in the 1940s, as the first—Disneyland—didn’t open until 1955.
Images online show the rubbish left behind after the 2019 Glastonbury festival.
Glastonbury festival, like many major events, has a robust cleanup strategy and rubbish policy.
The images are of Glastonbury Festival; some of the images are of this year’s festival, although others are older.
The percentage of judges that are from ethnic minorities has fallen in the past year.
This is what the official statistics appear to show, but in fact there has been a slight rise in the proportion of ethnic minority judges compared to 2015. It's now 6.5% of those whose ethnicity is recorded, up from 5.9%. The apparent fall is due to a change in methodology.
Lateral flow tests show a positive result with drinks including lemonade, Coca Cola and Fanta.
Testing lateral flows with random things produces an invalid result.
This is inaccurate. Testing soft drinks can return what appears to be a positive result, but this is a misuse of the test and returns an invalid result.
A safe, and easy way to remove ticks is to apply a small amount of liquid soap on a cotton ball and blot it onto the tick.
Although this may sometimes work, there are better methods which could help to reduce the risk of contracting a disease from a tick.
Although this technique may sometimes work, the NHS recommends an alternative method which could help to reduce the risk of contracting a disease from a tick.
Addicts and alcoholics cost the public £10 billion a year.
£10 billion is an uncertain estimate of the public cost of people who are homeless, offenders or drug misusers or any combination of the three.
Research estimated that public expenditure on people who are homeless, offenders, and/or drug misusers is roughly £10 billion a year in England. So it's not just an estimate of the cost of alcohol and drug addiction. The research describes that estimate as "indicative and not definitive", and says it's likely to be a conservative estimate.
The UK government/NHS have put posters on buses saying “Kids have strokes too, know the warning signs”.
The picture is from a campaign by a Canadian charity raising awareness about strokes in children.
The photo was taken in Canada, not the UK. It is part of an awareness campaign by a Canadian charity about strokes in children.
Mr Starmer explains in a clip why child grooming gangs weren’t prosecuted.
The interview was about changes to how child sexual abuse is prosecuted
This is incorrect. The clip is from an interview with Mr Starmer on changes to how police and prosecutors deal with victims of child sexual abuse, rather than a discussion of why specific gangs weren’t prosecuted.
There is a £20bn ‘black hole’ in the EU’s finances, which will cost the UK an extra £2.4bn after the referendum.
It's been claimed that there's a £20bn 'black hole' in EU finances.
By December 2014, the EU owed £19.4bn in payments agreed in the past to support poorer regions. The UK won’t be forced to make additional payments outside of its regular contributions.
Japanese-owned companies employ 140,000 people in the UK.
This is true, according to estimates from the Japanese government, although we haven’t yet been able to look into these in detail as they aren’t published in English.
Mental health is an exemption of Tier 4 and Tier 5 -- you can go out and see a friend, you can leave your house.
You can leave your house during lockdown for specific reasons, regardless of mental health, for example, to meet one local friend for exercise.
The government hasn’t protected the police budget.
The England and Wales police budget has been protected since 2015 with increased local taxation making up for reductions in central government funding. If local taxation for the police is maximised in future, police funding overall will be protected. From 2010 to 2015 the police budget wasn’t protected and fell.
190,000 Muslim women, or 22%, speak little or no English.
A government claim about the number of Muslim women with little or no English is backed up by Office for National Statistics analysis of the 2011 census.
This is based on census data from 2011. 22% of Muslim women said they speak English "not well" or "not at all". For Muslim men the equivalent figure was 10%.
There were 46,850 self-harm incidents in prisons in the year to March 2018, up 16%, and an average of 128 recorded a day.
The UK has £9 billion invested in the European Investment Bank.
The UK has 16% shares in the European Investment Bank, that was around £9 billion in 2016.
Correct. This is the value of the UK’s shares in the EIB, based on its finances in 2016.
Jeremy Corbyn has voted against the installation of sprinkler systems in tower blocks and high-rise buildings.
Incorrect. There is no such vote that we are aware of.
Most secondary schools use teachers not trained in their subject
The Association of School and College Leaders has warned today that teacher shortages are having a detrimental impact on pupils' education.
Two-thirds of people responding to a survey by a school and college leaders’ union said recruitment problems have led them to have subjects taught by non-specialists. We don’t know how representative that figure is of the experience of schools nationally. Official figures show that about one in six lessons in the key academic subjects in English secondary schools were being taught by teachers without a relevant post A level qualification in 2014. Around 24% of maths teachers and 21% of English teachers didn’t have a relevant post A level qualification in that year.
A 5G tower powered by a “Delta” power system, suggests a link between 5G and Covid-19.
Photos of a 5G tower supported by ‘Delta’ power system has nothing to do with Covid-19.
The power system is supplied by Delta Group, an infrastructure business founded in 1971. The name is coincidental, and has no link to Covid-19.
A study from India showed people eating cucumber every day had a 71% less risk for lung cancer.
A Facebook post misreported some scientific papers on mice, lung cancer and a chemical in cucumbers.
No studies show this. One study showed people who ate green vegetables were less likely to get lung cancer but the paper’s authors said this couldn’t be narrowed down to one vegetable’s effect.
Ticketmaster is planning a mandatory Covid-19 vaccine verification policy for concert attendance.
The company said decisions about entry requirements for events will be up to individual organisers
Ticketmaster said it is exploring a number of safety features that events organisers may want to use, including checks on test and vaccine status, but entry requirements will be up to organisers.
Drinking lots of water will eliminate the new coronavirus from your throat.
There is no evidence for this. It is a common myth.
Washing glasses with soap will prevent lenses from fogging whilst wearing a mask.
The soap disrupts the surface tension which causes the fogging.
This is true. The soap disrupts the surface tension which causes the condensation or “fog”.
A D-notice is currently blocking the UK media from reporting on Yellow Vest protests in France.
DSMA notice, or d-notices, are not legally binding and cover a range of general topics related to national security rather than specific events.
There is no D-notice for the protests. D-notices (also known as DSMA-notices) are non-mandatory advice and guidance for the media regarding reporting on defence and security information. They do not cover specific incidents.
Reported crime is rising under the Conservatives.
Not according to the best figures we have, although there are other indications that there might have been a recent uptick.
Crimes recorded by the police have been rising since 2014, but that's partly down to changes in recording practices. Crime in England and Wales is falling over the long term according to the more reliable Crime Survey.
Pensioner poverty has fallen considerably since the 1970s and 80s.
Latest figures suggest two million pensioners are in relative poverty, but the rate is much lower than it was decades ago.
Correct. On the relative measure, pensioner poverty has fallen from peaks of 40% in those decades to about 16% now. Absolute poverty has also fallen long term.
Leaving the EU means there would have to be border controls between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Nobody can say for sure what will happen to the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland when Brexit happens.
That’s a matter of speculation at the moment. Some sort of customs checks on goods crossing the border would be needed, but not necessarily passport checks or stopping everyone.
The vaccines contain polysorbate 80 and that is known to cause fertility issues.
The AstraZeneca vaccine does contain small amounts of this additive, which is also used in food. There is no evidence that it causes fertility issues in humans at the levels used in food and vaccines.
Irish GDP per head was lower than the UK before they cut corporation tax, and it’s now 50% higher.
Incorrect. We’ve seen no measures of GDP per head which placed Ireland below the UK before they cut corporation tax in 2015, and some measures show the difference is now is more than 50%.
A text message claiming to come from a GP practice warning about high local Covid-19 levels is false and a scam.
Facebook users were concerned that a public health message sent by text from a GP surgery was not genuine. The GP practice has said it’s real.
The GP practice has confirmed that it did send the text message and it is not a hoax.
The Conservatives’ poll lead has fallen following recent policy announcements on tax and spending.
Claims that the Conservatives' poll lead has plummeted are based on patchy evidence.
There’s little evidence for this: this is comparing polls from two different companies which use different polling methods. Recent polls have generally shown Conservative leads approaching or exceeding 20 percentage points.
Vaccinated people are dying from Covid-19.
The Covid-19 vaccines are very effective. But no vaccine is 100% effective and therefore there will be breakthrough cases.
David Davis said last month that people overstaying their visa is the biggest problem the UK has.
We can't find a record of the Brexit Secretary saying this, as has been claimed - but whether he made this claim or not, it's true.
We don’t know which comments by Mr Davis are being referred to. But this generally reflects the views of researchers that most people who live illegally in the UK have expired visas rather than because they snuck in illegally in the first place.
Judges are going to decide on whether the UK will leave the EU.
Judges are being asked to decide whether the government can trigger Article 50 without seeking the consent of Parliament.
The courts will decide whether Parliament has to have a say or not, rather than the government going ahead with Brexit by itself. It’s not directly a question about whether the vote should be upheld, which isn’t a legal matter.
The number of British-born workers has fallen.
The estimates suggest this happened, but it’s uncertain. The changes in the ONS’ best estimates weren’t big enough for us to be sure there was any real change.
The amount of times drugs were found in prisons across England and Wales rose by 23% in one year. 20.4% of drug tests came back as positive.
Correct, including tests for psychoactive substances like spice.
Nearly two-thirds of ‘child’ refugees who officials questioned about their real age were found to be adults.
Linking general statistics on age disputes to the situation of young people arriving from Calais isn't necessarily fair.
The Home Office has decided in two thirds of ‘age disputes’ that the asylum seeker involved was over 18. But there’s no definitive test for age, and this fact isn’t necessarily relevant to young people who have already been screened for age in Calais.
Police will now require written evidence of a medical exemption if people are to avoid a fine for not wearing a mask.
The government says you don’t need to carry proof by law but the police union says you might need to show it to avoid a fine.
The rules have not changed, people with medical exemptions from wearing a mask are not legally required to carry an exemption card or badge. But the police union says officers may ask people for proof to enforce mask wearing laws.
Five more countries are in the process of joining, including Turkey.
Correct. The UK has a veto, but officially supports Turkey joining.
MPs earn a starting salary of £81,932, higher than the starting salaries for nurses, midwives, paramedics and radiographers (£25,655) and junior doctors (£28,808).
The starting salaries quoted are correct for 2021.
Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland and Canada have slashed tariffs—their citizens are better off as a result, and their economies have thrived.
Uncertain. This is a very broad claim, and it is hard to attribute the performance of any economy to one factor such as reducing tariffs.
Greece’s national debt is worth €337 billion.
The number of children in poverty has risen since 2010, and now stands at 4 million.
Broadly correct, if you look at the number of children living in relative poverty and don’t include housing costs. This hasn’t been a statistically significant rise, and there’s more than one measure of poverty.
A petition on change.org called for the White Cliffs of Dover to be renamed the Black Lives Matter Cliffs of Dover.
The petition on change.org called for “The Black Lives Matter Cliffs of Dover” but it doesn’t seem to be connected to the BLM UK group.
This was a real petition, which has been taken down from the site for breaching its community standards. It doesn’t seem to be connected to the official Black Lives Matter group in the UK.
Austerity has caused the death of 130,000 people in Britain.
The think-tank behind the figure says wider policy issues are also important.
The report that the 130,000 figure comes from does not explicitly link this number to austerity, and there’s no way to know how much this was a factor.
Asylum seekers in the UK get somewhere to live, a cash allowance or both.
Correct, but only if they are “homeless or don’t have money to buy food”.
Hate preacher Anjem Choudary received benefits and faced no action for his crimes.
Choudary received benefits and was imprisoned under the terrorism act.
Nearly two-thirds of British businesses do not make a profit of over £10,000 but are subjected to corporation tax.
Two-thirds of limited companies have corporation tax liabilities of up to £10,000, but fewer than half of businesses make a profit of less than £10,000.
This is incorrect. Two-thirds of limited companies have corporation tax liabilities of up to £10,000, but fewer than half of British businesses make a profit of less than £10,000.
Since the mid-1990s the incomes of people in their twenties have gone up by 20%.
Median weekly earnings for all employees aged 22-29 increased by 14% from 1997 to 2018 in real terms. If you don’t adjust for inflation—which is more appropriate when comparing to changes in house prices over the same period—the increase is 72%.
The number of people who came to live in this country last year was the same as the population of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Not far off, assuming the claim is referring to net migration. The best estimate is that about 335,000 more people came to live in UK than left in the year leading up to June 2016. Only 293,000 people live in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
South Africa has not vaccinated its elderly due to a lack of data.
There is no evidence to suggest this is the case, at least with regard to data about the vaccines. South Africa is due to start vaccinating the elderly this month.
University applications have fallen by 4%.
The number of applicants through UCAS to UK higher education institutions has gone down by 4% compared to last year.
The main cause of breast cancer is the use of antiperspirant.
Cancer Research UK says there’s no convincing evidence behind this.
Cancer Research UK says that at present there’s no convincing evidence that using deodorants or antiperspirants affects breast cancer risk.
Covid-19 has been found to cause blood clotting.
It is true that abnormal blood clotting has been observed in some Covid-19 patients, but this is not the only potential serious outcome of the disease.
Corporation tax rates have gone down since 2010 but the amount raised by this tax has increased to £56 billion, the highest ever recorded.
It’s correct that the rate has fallen, but the actual amount raised in 2016/17 was £50 billion. The tricky question is how these two things are related. The government’s own estimates suggest it might have collected more without having made changes to corporation tax, even though these estimates are quite uncertain.
A viral Facebook post claims that the flu killed 64,000 people in 2018. This is incorrect. 64,000 people died in January 2018 in England and Wales of all causes.
Incorrect. 64,000 people died in January 2018 in England and Wales of all causes. Public Health England estimates that across the 2017/18 flu season there were around 22,000 deaths associated with flu in England.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has told nurses not to use the term “ladies” or “lady.”
The Royal College of Nursing’s style guide recommended using the word “women” instead of “ladies”. This is for official RCN documentation and not advice to nurses.
The RCN internal style guide recommended using “women” or “woman” instead of “ladies” or “lady” in written documentation. This was not guidance to nurses on how to speak to patients.
The leaked UK-US trade documents contain the quote: “The USA reserves the right to withdraw all trade, aid and communication upon the non-compliance of the UK to allow open discussions about the sale of all assets within and partnered with the National Health Service”.
A quote about the US having a “right to withdraw all trade, aid and communication” in negotiations about the NHS does not appear in a leaked government document.
This quote is false. The documents do not contain this.
The UK has introduced a special scheme for taking in vulnerable Syrian refugees, and 10,000 Syrian refugees have come to the UK since the conflict began.
We’ve looked into Jeremy Corbyn’s and Theresa May’s claims on the government response to the recent US order on refugees, and to the wider Syrian crisis.
It’s correct that over 10,000 Syrian refugees are now in the UK, although not all were brought over under this scheme. More than half made their own way to the UK.
5G millimeter waves could be absorbed by dermatologic cells acting like antennas, transferred to other cells and play the main role in producing Coronaviruses in biological cells.
The paper made claims about how 5G waves could be absorbed by skin cells and produce coronavirus but provided no credible evidence.
There is no evidence that this is the case, and lots of evidence that it isn’t. The journal that published the paper that claims this has now removed it from their website.
The salary of a newly qualified nurse was £22,000 in 2010 and the same in 2018.
This doesn’t take into account inflation. In 2018 prices, a fully qualified nurse’s starting salary was £24,900 in 2010 and £23,000 in 2018.
Research reported in the Express does not establish any link between the medication and losing your hair.
Hair loss is listed as an uncommon side effect by NICE, but the evidence is uncertain, and the research in this article does not compare the risk of hair loss in people who take antidepressants with the risk in people who don’t.
While the Prime Minister claimed income inequality was falling, the latest analysis suggests it may be rising again after income support schemes were removed.
The latest (pre-pandemic) official figures show it was rising or broadly stable. Recent analysis suggests it fell during the pandemic but is rising again following the removal of income support.
£1 billion was given to 13 companies for PPE but no PPE has been supplied.
PPE procurement is under scrutiny but claims that all these contracts were unfulfilled is not evidenced.
These contracts appear to be real contracts for PPE, but there is no evidence that the contracts were all unfulfilled.
A quarter of Oxford colleges did not admit a single black student in a whole year group at least once between 2015 and 2017.
British citizens can make more than £7,000 a day by investing in oil through a specific scheme.
An article designed to look like The Mirror claims British citizens can make £7,000 a day from home by investing in oil
This is highly suspicious. The company mentioned in the article is not a registered business in the UK, the article is not a genuine Mirror article and the methods used in the post are similar to those used in scams in the past.
That’s true overall. We have a trade surplus in services, and a much larger trade deficit in goods.
This photo shows women working for the Red Cross arriving at Normandy beach in 1944 to assist injured troops.
The viral photo is actually of women working for the Red Cross arriving in Southern France in 1945.
It is a photo of women working for the Red Cross arriving in Southern France in 1945 to “keep high the spirits” of American soldiers.
Klaus Schwab has been arrested in Switzerland for crimes related to the pandemic.
Several online articles have claimed that the founder of the World Economic Forum was arrested by Swiss Police.
This is not true, and has been denied as “fake news” by spokespeople for the police.
Pensioners who have paid half a century’s worth of tax and national insurance are given £8,840 to live comfortably.
This is the average amount per year that the bottom fifth of single pensioners by income were getting between 2015 and 2018, according to research by retirement finance company Just Group. The exact state pension depends on the individual.
The Vote Leave campaign includes three completely untrue claims on its EU referendum leaflet: Turkey becoming a member, an EU army and the £350 million a week cost of membership.
Accusations of "completely untrue" claims on the membership fee, Turkey joining the EU, and an EU army aren't completely true.
The claim about the cost of membership is not true, because we don’t pay that much. The claims about the other two things have been overstated, but they can’t be ruled out as completely untrue.
23% of parents of secondary pupils will insist their children wear masks when they return to school.
A Mail Online article incorrectly claims ‘23% of parents of secondary pupils will insist their children wear masks’.
The survey question this claim is based on did not ask whether or not parents would “insist” children wore masks—only whether or not children would wear them.
Leaving the EU would cause billions of pounds worth of damage to the NHS budget each year.
The Trades Union Congress, Alistair Darling and George Osborne have all made claims about the cost to the NHS if we vote to leave the EU.
Most economists predict that leaving the EU would harm economic growth and be an overall cost to the government’s budget. Whether this affects spending on the NHS would be depend on future political decisions.
The Conservative election manifesto gave no indication that the party would stop new onshore wind generators from accessing an existing subsidy.
The Conservative election manifesto was ambiguous on what it meant by ending "any new public subsidy" for onshore wind farms.
The reference to ending "new public subsidy" for onshore wind is ambiguous. It doesn't, on the face of it, reference existing schemes, but has to be seen in the context of the clear aim to stop the construction of new wind farms.
128,000 children will not be in their own home at Christmas.
This many children were estimated to be in temporary accommodation across Great Britain earlier this year.
More foreigners have jobs than before the EU referendum.
Correct, the number of people born outside the UK in employment has increased over the past two years.
Israel, Singapore, India, Hong Kong and the U.S. trade with the EU under WTO terms.
Incorrect. Israel has a trade agreement with the EU. Also, while Singapore currently trades with the EU under WTO terms, it has reached a trade agreement with the EU that now needs approval by the European Parliament and Council.
£1 billion has been taken out of youth services.
The English budget for children and young people is down 13% in real terms, while spending on youth services specifically has fallen by 73%.
Correct in England. This is a 73% reduction in local authorities’ spending on youth services in England between 2010/11 and 2019/20. The wider budget for children and young people has fallen by about £1.4 billion or by 13%.
Roughly correct looking at public spending on adult social care across the UK in 2016/17. Around £10 billion was spent on children’s social care.
UK growth is currently the slowest among the 10 largest EU economies.
UK growth is the slowest among all EU economies over the last quarter. Over the last year, of the ten largest EU economies the UK has grown the 8th fastest.
21 million people in Britain are retired.
We don’t know for certain but a maximum of around 11.8 million people in the UK are retired.
A video showing body bags lying on the floor of various rooms inside a hospital was filmed in St Mary’s Hospital, London.
The hospital trust confirmed to us that it wasn’t filmed at St Mary’s and fact checkers have found it was filmed in Ecuador.
Incorrect, the hospital trust confirmed it wasn’t filmed there. It was filmed in Ecuador.
A British navy captain tried to order an Irish lighthouse to move out of the way.
It’s a famous myth that is now decades old.
This is not true. It is a version of a famous old myth.
The use of physical forms of punishment against children is falling in almost every Western country, in Scotland and in the rest of the UK.
Research suggests fewer parents are smacking their children in the UK and many other countries.
The research we’ve seen only covers a limited number of rich countries, but the claim is correct as far as this shows.
In the third quarter of 2015/16 around 95% of acute NHS trusts were in deficit. But by the end of 2015/16 it was 65% of all NHS trusts, of which 75% were acute trusts.
This was roughly correct for acute trusts in the third quarter of 2015/16. But by the end of 2015/16 it was 65% of all NHS trusts, of which 75% were acute trusts (hospitals).
This doesn’t factor in inflation. In 2018 prices, MPs' pay remained stable between 2010 and 2018 at around £77,400.
Modern medicine cannot cure any condition without surgery.
This is not true. Modern medicine can treat and cure many conditions in many ways.
Death certificates with codes from the first chapter of ICD 10 show deaths that were caused by infectious disease.
The ICD 10 groups “infectious diseases” in a surprising way that includes sepsis, but not flu.
The first chapter of ICD 10 does not include all infectious diseases. It also includes some diseases, such as sepsis, that are not contagious.
Research says that nearly half of people who catch Covid develop depression afterwards.
The Telegraph misreported a scientific study which found that many former Covid-19 sufferers had depression, but did not say whether the virus was to blame.
This is not what the research says. It measured rates of depression among Covid survivors—but not whether they developed depression after catching the disease.
Turkey has bought British steel saving 4,500 jobs.
The Turkish army’s pension fund is the preferred bidder for British Steel but hasn’t bought it yet. British Steel has around 4,000 employees.
Aluminium in vaccines can cause Alzheimer’s disease.
Small amounts of aluminium have been used in vaccines for almost 100 years.
No link between Alzheimer’s disease and the small amount of aluminium found in some vaccines has been established.
1.9 million more children are now in good and outstanding schools, compared with 2010.
The government’s claim about more children in good or outstanding schools doesn’t acknowledge the impact of rising pupil numbers, and that many schools haven’t been inspected since 2010.
There’s no evidence that eating cucumbers has any effect on treating lung cancer.
According to the Lisbon Treaty, in 2022, all gas, oil and minerals will become owned by the EU.
This is not true. Individual governments decide who can mine and produce these products, and where. The licensing rules for oil and gas are decided by the EU, but the UK is keeping these in place in the case of a no deal Brexit.
Total travel and accommodation costs for Scottish Conservative MPs were £250,427 in the last 12 months.
This most likely refers to 2017/18 when Scottish Conservative MPs’ travel and accommodation expenses totalled £389,000, or £30,000 on average per MP.
One picture of a teenage boy has been used to cover the deaths of three teenagers in three different countries
Posts on Facebook suggest a media conspiracy because a picture of a deceased Irish teenager has been used to illustrate the deaths of two other boys.
The screenshots of news stories are real, but some were errors that have been taken out of context. The images were not widely used in the media. The photograph is of deceased Irish teenager Conor Wilmot who died in 2017.
The Metropolitan Police is investigating the Covid-19 vaccine programme.
Posts on Facebook falsely claim that the Metropolitan Police is investigating the Covid-19 vaccine programme.
The force confirmed to Full Fact there is no criminal investigation and no indication any crime has been committed.
The new benefit cap will affect 40,000 single mothers.
The new benefit cap is introduced on 7 November 2016. We look whether it affects single mothers, large families and those with higher rents more than others.
The Department for Work and Pensions has estimated that up to 54,000 families with single mothers could be affected by the benefit cap in 2016/17. Of those, it’s likely that around 40,000 were newly affected as a result of the recent lowering of the cap.
According to NHS England figures, the number of people whose death certificates show death from only coronavirus, i.e. no pre-existing condition, is 1,265.
ONS data suggests Covid-19 is the underlying cause of death for 94% of people who die with it.
This was the correct number of Covid-19 deaths (but only among hospital patients) where no pre-existing condition was reported, up to 26 May. But this data isn’t the deaths “only” from coronavirus and doesn’t tell us what the underlying cause of death was. Covid-19 death was determined by a positive test result or where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate.
Poorer children are less likely to get into grammar schools.
Poorer children are less likely to go to grammar schools even if they are high achievers.
Poorer children are less likely to go to grammar schools even if they are high achievers. It’s not certain if this is because poorer children are less likely to apply, or less likely to get in, or a bit of both.
Jürgen Klopp said the European Super League is about “greed” and that he had demanded a meeting with the Liverpool owner.
This quote is made up, although Jürgen Klopp has expressed opposition to the idea of a Super League.
A picture shows private jets in a Scottish airport for COP26.
Some are claiming a 2013 picture likely taken during the Super Bowl in New Orleans, was taken in Glasgow during the climate change conference.
The picture first appeared online in 2013 and seems to have been taken of jets parked in a New Orleans airport when the Super Bowl was held there.
GPs will be given £12.58 per Covid vaccine dose.
GP practices are private companies that receive funding from a range of places.
This is correct. This is an “item of service fee”, that covers the cost of providing this treatment.
All EU members have to adopt the Euro after 2020.
The UK and Denmark both have opt-outs to joining the Euro and seven other countries only have to join once they’ve fulfilled certain requirements.
Incorrect. The UK and Denmark have opt-outs so don’t have to join the Euro. The seven countries without an opt-out and not already in the Euro are supposed to join it, but only once they meet certain conditions. There is currently no time limit on this process.
Only 6,000 asylum seekers have been relocated from Italy and Greece to other EU countries under a scheme meant to relocate 160,000 people.
The EU programme for relocating asylum seekers within Europe has seen 6,000 people move country in the past year.
Correct. The target is now for up to 100,000 people to be relocated from Italy and Greece by September 2017, although fewer than that may qualify.
Wages are rising at the fastest rate in a decade.
Average wages for GB employees grew around 2% in the last year in real terms, which isn’t the fastest in a decade.
This ignores inflation which means it’s a bad measure to use. Average wages for employees in Great Britain grew around 2% over the last year in real terms, which isn’t the fastest in a decade.
All the rest of the world trades with the EU under World Trade Organisation rules.
The EU has 48 trade agreements with other countries, which go beyond World Trade Organisation rules.
This is wrong. The EU has finalised 48 trade agreements with other countries of various kinds, beyond World Trade Organisation rules.
The vote on whether to accept the Committee on Standards’ report into Owen Paterson and its recommendation to suspend him from Parliament was a free vote.
BBC Breakfast presenter Charlie Stayt claimed a vote on whether to suspend Owen Paterson for breaches of the MPs Code of Conduct was a ‘free vote’. It wasn’t. It was subject to a three-line whip.
Boris Johnson has the support of more than half of the public to deliver Brexit by any means, including suspending Parliament, according to a poll.
The Telegraph claimed a majority of people support the suspension of parliament. The figure was in fact 44%. There are other problems with this poll.
Incorrect. The poll showed that 44%, not a majority, agreed with the statement. There are also other problems with the poll.
There was an £8 billion increase in revenues from additional rate taxpayers after the top rate of tax was reduced from 50p to 45p.
Figures released this week on tax receipts aren't as simple as they might seem.
Revenues did increase by that much, but tax receipts were artificially low in 2012/13 and artificially high in 2013/14 due to people ‘deferring’ income from one tax year to another in order to benefit from the lower tax rate. So this can’t be described as the amount of money raised by the reduction in the rate.
0070031450 A1 is a US patent for BSE (mad cow disease).
There is a patent application number one digit away from this that mentions BSE, but is not a patent for BSE itself.
No one who sat in a restaurant without a mask to eat their meal died.
There is no evidence to say that no one who took part in Eat Out to Help Out did not contract Covid-19 and later die.
You can’t leave your house unless to buy food, medicine or in an emergency.
This is not right. You can also leave to exercise, travel to work, take children to school or care for a vulnerable person.
Around 40% of students at universities such as Oxford went to private school. 7% of the population go to private school.
Correct, around 44% of young, full-time Oxford undergraduate students in 2015/16 had gone to an independent school. Around 7% of all English school pupils went to an independent school in 2017.
Two thirds of manufacturing jobs, and 50,000 manufacturing apprenticeships, are reliant on Britain’s membership of the EU.
It's been claimed that two-thirds of manufacturing jobs are reliant on Britain's membership of the EU. That's wrong.
This is wrong. Roughly 15% of manufacturing jobs can be said to be directly linked to demand from other EU countries. That doesn’t mean these jobs are dependent on the UK being an EU member. Both claims are based on older inaccurate figures, and use flawed comparisons.
Roaming charges in Europe are lower because of the EU.
Remain campaigners often cite the reduced cost of using a mobile phone in other European countries as an EU success story. That seems fair.
The EU has put a cap on the amount you can be charged for using your phone abroad, and prices have fallen. Networks won't generally be able to charge roaming fees at all from 2017.
Spending on NHS Scotland has gone up by £4 billion to £13 billion.
NHS Scotland spending is planned to increase by £2 billion, accounting for projected inflation, between 2006/07 and 2018/19.
This is the planned increase in day-to-day spending on health in Scotland between 2006/07 and 2018/19. It doesn’t account for inflation though, once that is added the increase is £2 billion.
How many who have no other morbidities under the age of 60 have died from this Covid-19? 350
The latest NHS figures for England show that 253 people under the age of 60 with no underlying health conditions have died from Covid-19 in hospitals.
In the EU at least 83m people (27%) suffer from mental health problems.
It's claimed 27% of Europeans suffer from a mental health problem. The research backs this up.
Research agrees that 27% of Europeans experience at least one mental disorder in a year. Population growth means it's probably over 120m people by now.
Chief executives at particular Welsh councils get paid about three times as much as MPs.
How does council chief executive pay compare to that of MPs—and is it a fair comparison to begin with?
They get paid more, but not three times as much. The Chief Executive of Isle of Anglesey County Council gets paid £113,000 a year, compared to £76,000 for an MP. At Gwynedd it’s between £103,000 and £110,000.
The Scottish onshore economy is as strong as the UK’s generally.
Is the Scottish economy as strong as the UK’s generally? Not according to the most recent growth figures.
There’s more than one way to look at this. The UK’s economy has been growing faster than Scotland’s recently, according to official estimates.
A screenshot shows a tweet from radical preacher Anjem Choudary.
Other tweets from that profile indicate it doesn’t belong to the radical preacher.
This tweet actually comes from a parody account.
Home ownership is at its lowest level in a generation.
Labour claims that home ownership is at its lowest level in a generation. The proportion of English households owning their home is the lowest since 1984.
John Healey MP, Shadow Minister for Housing and Planning
This is correct, taking a "generation" as around 30 years. The proportion of households owning their own home is at its lowest since 1984.
The eight week interval between vaccine doses is designed to coincide with the immune system’s “reproductive system”, so that the second dose can hit the immune system while it’s down.
False. There is a gap between vaccine doses because this has been shown to be more effective at protecting against Covid-19. White blood cells have a range of different life spans.
Landmark Danish study shows face masks have no significant effect.
A Spectator article suggests a new study which found mask-wearing didn’t lower Covid-19 infection rates is proof masks don’t work. But the study didn’t look at whether masks help others.
A Danish study found the Covid-19 infection rate was lower among mask-wearers than non-mask wearers but not significantly so. However this is not proof that masks don’t have a significant effect, as the study didn’t look at whether mask-wearing protects others by stopping wearers from exhaling the virus.
The number of deaths in police custody is at the highest level in five years.
Home Secretary Theresa May has announced an independent review of deaths in police custody. We take a look at the latest figures.
There were 17 deaths in 2014/15, according to official figures; the highest in four years, rather than five.
Bald men are twice as likely to suffer from severe Covid-19.
Several newspapers have reported that being bald doubles your risk of severe Covid, but this is far from certain.
Being older raises the risk of severe Covid-19, but based on the research we have so far, it is not yet clear whether baldness itself has any effect.
MPs do not receive publicly funded holidays, but can receive hospitality from other organisations and foreign governments.
The USA and India are keen to do trade deals with the UK.
MPs can claim for phone calls in their constituency offices. MPs eligible for housing expenses can claim for work-related telephone calls at that home.
Only self-employed people with incomes over £16,000 will lose out from the changes to NICs.
That’s about right. It’s roughly in the middle of two estimates we’ve seen, both of which were done in a reasonable way.
Since 2010 there has been a considerable increase in homebuilding.
Correct, the number of new homes is up since 2010.
Money raised by Captain Tom Moore is only going to the NHS in England.
The money will be spent on charities in each of the four UK nations.
Incorrect. Money raised by Captain Tom is going towards the Covid-19 appeal run by NHS Charities Together, which distributes money to charities across all four UK nations.
An image shows a woman making an offensive gesture to Jeremy Corbyn.
The image of Jeremy Corbyn and a woman has been digitally edited.
The image has been edited, the original shows the woman not being hostile.
94% of people in Wales don’t want independence.
Polls conducted over the last five years clearly show that supporters of Welsh independence are in a minority, but the exact proportion varies depending on how the question is phrased.
On average 6% of people in Wales said they wanted independence when presented with a range of options on how Wales should be governed. This is comparing polls which ask a consistent question over the last five years. Other polls have asked slightly different questions and found a higher proportion in favour of independence, but it’s always in the minority.
The Express used a photo from before coronavirus lockdown to suggest people in Brighton were breaking social distancing rules.
Metadata from the photo showed it was taken when social distancing rules were in place.
This is incorrect. Metadata from the photo shows it was taken during lockdown.
The Tories just refused to support 6500 jobs and £1 billion for our economy by not guaranteeing that 3 new Royal Navy ships will be built in Britain.
Estimates for the economic and jobs impact of keeping a shipbuilding contract in the UK make assumptions that are unevidenced.
These numbers assume that if a British shipbuilder won the contract, they would exclusively use British labour and goods. That’s uncertain. The £1 billion estimate is unconfirmed.
A global survey from around 2014 found that 24% of people thought the USA was the country that posed the greatest danger to world peace.
A 2013 poll by the WIN/Gallup International network found 24% of respondents from around the world chose the USA as the country they thought posed the greatest threat to world peace.
The UKIP leader Paul Nuttall has said that he wants to privatise the NHS.
In the past, UKIP’s leader has been critical of the NHS model of healthcare.
Mr Nuttall has been critical of the NHS model of a publicly-owned healthcare provider in the past. He has since said that he thinks there could be more private sector involvement in the NHS. UKIP’s policy is still for an NHS that’s free at the point of use.
The government’s Social Mobility Commission said the number of children in poverty is expected to increase to 5.2 million by 2022.
This is based on an estimate made in 2017 which estimated child poverty would be considerably higher by this point than it is. For that reason it shouldn’t be considered relevant today.
In 2014 Chuka Umunna tweeted to promise he wouldn’t join the Liberal Democrats.
A tweet supposedly from the MP saying he wouldn’t be caught dead in a yellow rosette seems to have been faked.
The tweet in question seems to be fake, it isn’t formatted in the same way as Twitter was five years ago and we’ve found no evidence Mr Umunna ever tweeted this.
The net migration target could only have been met if immigration of non-EU citizens was cut.
Correct. Significant reductions to non-EU immigration will have been needed given the government can’t control the volume of EU immigration. But non-EU levels are now roughly what they were back in 2010, so the target is far from being met.
Asylum seekers in the UK can choose whether they want a flat, house, hostel or bed and breakfast.
Incorrect. The government specifies that those eligible for support can’t choose where they live and may be placed in any of these types of housing. They are only eligible if they are homeless or don’t have money to buy food.
Nearly 90% of those convicted of wider child abuse offences and on the sex offenders register are white men.
There isn’t much publicly available information on this. The data we do have shows a large majority of those convicted of sexual offences (no matter the age of the victim) are white.
For every donation the charity organisers take 1.98% off the fee plus 20p per each donation.
JustGiving charges payment processing fees for card and Paypal payments, charged at 1.9% of the donation plus 20p. The charge is 2.9% plus 20p for donations in other currencies.
Iain Duncan Smith MP gets free transport.
MPs can claim for certain types of travel, including within their constituency and between Westminster and their constituency.
The NHS has warned people should not shake hands to prevent the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus
No advice on handshaking has been issued by NHS England or Public Health England in response to Wuhan coronavirus.
This is incorrect. Although some doctors have suggested this may be a good idea, no advice around shaking hands has been issued by the government
The Covid-19 vaccine trials have not yet been completed and therefore the results cannot be peer-reviewed.
The Covid-19 vaccine trials have been published in peer reviewed journals. The data collection and analysis are ongoing, in order to allow up to two years of follow up on participants.
England has been named second worst nation for child happiness.
Compared to 14 other countries in a survey, England's children were some of the least happy on specific aspects such as their relationship with teachers and self-confidence.
The research only shows England's performance compared to 14 other countries, not worldwide. Other surveys tell a different story.
If an asylum seeker is refused asylum, they get somewhere to live and £35.39 per person on a payment card.
Correct, if they are homeless, unable to buy food and there’s a reason they can’t leave the UK yet. They can only get the payment card if they take the offer of somewhere to live.
Deprived areas are facing the most significant cuts to adult social care budgets.
Council spending on adult social care hasn’t reduced on average as steeply as for some other services, but the reductions have been highest in areas with the greatest need, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
Giving dogs ice in hot weather causes them to overheat.
In most situations, it is fine to give your dogs ice or frozen treats.
It is generally fine to give your dog ice. If they appear to have heat stroke, cool them slowly without using ice and call the vet.
Sixth forms and further education colleges are better funded.
A picture shows women in burkas voting, saying that’s how Sadiq Khan became London mayor.
The picture isn’t from the 2016 Mayor of London election.
The picture was taken in Pakistan in 2013.
If you are registered to vote in two places you are only allowed to vote in one location in national elections but can choose which at the last minute.
Free schools improve neighbouring schools.
Near new free schools, bad schools tend to get better and good schools tend to get worse but the evidence doesn't prove that free schools are the cause.
The EU proposes to abolish freedom to publish pictures of public buildings.
Restrictions on 'freedom of panorama' - reproducing images of public buildings and art - have been proposed in an EU committee, but are a long way from law.
The suggestion is to apply copyright protection to images of public buildings for commercial use. It's at an early stage, and may not be taken up by EU legislators.
Text on NHSX website is proof that vaccine passports will definitely be introduced in December 2021.
The government confirmed that proving vaccination status continues to be an option, rather than a definite plan for December.
The text refers to the way exemptions will be viewed on the NHS COVID app. The Department of Health and Social Care have confirmed that vaccine passports are an “option” but there are no firm plans.
Transport for the North’s budget has been reduced by 40%.
Boris Johnson denied 40% reductions to the transport body’s budget during PMQs.
This much is being removed from Transport for the North’s core funding, though not from its total funding. It will be able to access some extra funding from other programmes to supplement its core funding.
550,000 more pensioners were in debt in Great Britain in 2020, compared with 2010.
An article in the Express used accurate figures from Labour showing more pensioners are in debt, but that doesn’t mean that more pensioners have a debt problem.
It’s true that about 550,000 more people aged 65 or over had some kind of non-mortgage debt by the end of the 2010s, but the number who found that debt to be a problem actually fell over the same period.
HMRC employs just 522 staff to tackle tens of billions of tax evasion by the super-rich.
It employed around 500 staff in March 2017 to work with taxpayers with assets over £10m, and another 500 staff to investigate the tax affairs of taxpayers with assets over £1 million, or an income over £150,000 a year. In 2016, they were estimated to account for around £2bn in lost tax revenue.
The vaccines won’t stop me spreading Covid-19.
Research shows Covid-19 vaccination does lead to lower levels of transmission.
The fact a BBC journalist reported the collapse of World Trade Center 7 before it actually happened means 9/11 was a “scripted, actor based reality”.
Conspiracy theories about World Trade Center 7 have flourished since the attack.
It’s true that a BBC journalist reported the collapse of World Trade Center 7 almost half an hour before it fell, as did a number of other news services. There is no evidence this was due to insider information or a “scripted” version of the terror attack.
108 people died from Covid-19 in China on February 10th, one of the worst days so far.
It is true that 108 people died in China from Covid-19 on 10 February, however, this death toll has since been surpassed.
In the last eight years, the “Building schools for the future” project has been stopped.
It was stopped in 2010 and replaced with a new scheme in 2011. The old scheme aimed to rebuild and refurbish all secondary schools in England. The new scheme is targeted at “school buildings in the worst condition across the country”.
Computers are getting better than humans at reading.
Computers aren't getting better than humans at reading. “Even elementary school reading comprehensions are harder” than the test computers passed, says the test’s creator.
They’re not. “Even elementary school reading comprehensions are harder” than the test computers passed, says the test’s creator. It’s an academic milestone not a practical one.
People who die of Covid would probably have died within a year.
This is not supported by the evidence. Research suggests people who die of Covid lose about a decade of life, on average.
City of London police are warning people about a mobile network provider scam.
Two thirds of knife offenders under 25 were black or minority ethnic.
Across England and Wales in 2017, 38% of knife possession convictions among under 25s were convictions of non-white youths.
In England and Wales 38% of knife possession offenders under 25s were non-white in 2017. It was two thirds in London.
A photo of Remain supporters holding a burning Union Flag has been edited.
It is correct that the image has been edited.
70% of Conservative constituencies and 60% of Labour constituencies voted to Leave in the EU referendum.
Official counts for how each parliamentary constituency voted in the EU referendum don’t exist, but the best estimates suggest that a majority of both Conservative and Labour constituencies did vote t
These figures are roughly correct, although we don’t know for sure how many parliamentary seats voted – all we have are estimates.
The UK minimum wage is £8.21, and is soon to be £10.50. The EU hasn’t set a minimum wage.
That’s the minimum wage for people over 25 in the UK. The Conservatives have pledged to raise the minimum for every over 21 to £10.50 by 2024 but it’s not yet law. It’s correct that the EU doesn’t set a minimum wage.
Although France is generally considered a “safe” potential country for asylum seekers, there is legal precedent to suggest France could potentially be considered a risk to an asylum seeker if the authorities fail to offer them the treatment they are entitled to.
More people are eligible for support under PIP than DLA.
It’s unlikely. PIP was designed so that fewer people would be eligible than would be the case under DLA. A quarter of people claiming DLA for mental health conditions did not qualify for PIP when reassessed.
Cuts to income tax will save the typical basic rate taxpayer £1,205 a year.
A basic rate taxpayer will pay around £940 less in 2019/20 compared to 2010/11, once you factor in how prices have changed over that time.
This is based on the increase in the tax-free personal allowance, from 2010/11 to 2019/20. But it doesn’t account for inflation. The figure drops to £940 once that’s factored in.
There’s £460m extra funding for the police this year, including the local precept.
Correct, there’s an extra £460m in cash terms for police in England and Wales. The majority of that rise comes from about £280 million raised in council tax, rather than central government.
The UK is 15th in the international educational league tables, behind Vietnam.
It’s important not to read too much into the UK’s rank alone, or draw conclusions from changes in our rankings about whether our education system is getting better or worse.
In 2015, the UK ranked 15th in the world for the performance of 15 year olds in science, behind Vietnam in 8th place. But we’re not necessarily as far behind Vietnam as this might suggest.
Covid-19 does not exist as a virus, but rather a bacterium that has been exposed to 5G radiation.
This is false. Covid-19 is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. 5G has nothing to do with Covid-19.
Captain Tom and his charity walk has raised 15.5 million with over 750,000 people donating.
The fundraiser was at around £15 million on 16 April. It is now at over £31 million. This doesn’t include Gift Aid.
National Insurance contributions will increase by 1.25% from 6 April 2022.
Multiple government web pages make the technically inaccurate claim that planned National Insurance contributions are going to rise by 1.25%, when it’s actually a percentage point increase.
It is not a percentage increase on existing National Insurance rates, it is a 1.25 percentage point increase applied to existing National Insurance rates. For many, this will mean a tax rise of more than 10%
The new UK-Japan trade deal will mean soy sauce imports from Japan will get cheaper.
The UK already imports soy sauce from Japan tariff-free under the EU-Japan deal.
Incorrect. Tariffs on Japanese soy sauce will stay at 0%. Tariffs on soy sauce imports from some other countries may increase, but from others may decrease.
97% of the PPE secured was ready, fit-for-purpose and there on the front line
Michael Gove claimed 97% of PPE procured was fit-for-purpose and on the front line. In actual fact, while it may have been usable by someone, not all of it was on the front line.
While this PPE may have been usable, it was not all fit for use in the health and care sector, nor on the front line.
Polling figures show that Theresa May’s Brexit approach is ‘pissing off most of the nation’.
The numbers in the graphic refer to opinion among Leave voters only, not the public as a whole. Opinion of the progress of Brexit varies depending on what question is asked.
It took 51 days for the UK to go from announcing its first Covid-19 death to 20,319.
Correct. The first patient who died having tested positive for Covid-19 was announced on 5 March. The total deaths was 20,319 on 24 April.
In August, Serco were given £108 million to run the test and trace system.
Serco was awarded this contract for running some contact tracing call centres.
Islamic State has hacked a major computer network used by universities.
A headline in the Express claimed that an Islamic State hack disrupted university internet services, but the evidence it gave for this is not convincing.
The network has been attacked, but the idea that it was Islamic State appears to be based on speculation from a single, unnamed student.
According to NHS data, as of 21st January there have been 4,717 Covid-19 deaths of people between the ages of 0-59 in the UK.
This is not true. The NHS data used in this video is just for England, not the whole UK, and only includes hospital deaths after a positive test.
British companies sold £12.9 billion worth of goods to the EU, ten per cent up on pre-Brexit figures.
£12.9 billion is correct, but the 10% rise claim is against summer 2020 and doesn’t reflect the wider trend. Exports to the EU are down compared to the period before Brexit.
The woman arrested at the Clapham vigil for Sarah Everard is the same woman who was injured in the 2017 Parsons Green Tube attack.
Social media posts falsely claim that a woman arrested during the Clapham vigil is the same woman who was injured in the Parsons Green Tube attack.
This is false. They are different women.
A medical alert says to stop the use of anti-inflammatories for pain or high temperatures.
This message is fake. Current advice from health authorities in the UK and Ireland say to continue taking previously prescribed medication, including anti-inflammatories unless told otherwise by a healthcare professional. The NHS says there is no strong evidence that taking ibuprofen can make Covid-19 worse, but advises people with symptoms to take paracetamol if they can.
Videos show a four legged monster climbing over buildings in Russia.
A graphic designer has said that he created one of the videos of the monster, and it unexpectedly went viral.
One of the videos has previously been reported as a hoax, and was created by a graphic designer. Nobody has publicly admitted to creating the other video from 2013.
Theresa May paid around £2,400 to “MP Services” on a regular basis.
Expenses of between £500 and £3,000 were claimed by Mrs May for payments to a company called MP Services between 2005 and 2007. The payments are usually for the printing of annual reports, newsletters, and outdoor banners.
Research from Israel suggests that the Pfizer vaccine is much less protective against Covid-19 than natural immunity from catching the disease.
Getting vaccinated is still effective, and far safer, whether you’ve had the disease or not.
The research does say this. However, it also says that infected people are even better protected if they get vaccinated as well.
Between 27 November to now there have been 239 deaths by suicide and the average age of those who died was between 25 and 44.
We don’t know exactly how many people died by suicide in the month long period since 27 November.
The UK government promised the Barnett Formula would remain but billions have been pledged to other parts of the UK, bypassing the formula, as part of political pacts with the DUP.
The Barnett Formula didn’t apply when the DUP negotiated £1 billion for Northern Ireland because public spending in England didn’t change.
In the case of the £1 billion for Northern Ireland the Barnett Formula didn’t apply because public spending in England didn’t change.
The official UK death toll from the coronavirus pandemic now equals the death toll from the Blitz.
An image being shared online is a fair reflection of what we know about the death tolls from Covid-19 and the Blitz.
At the time this claim was made, the government’s “official” published count of Covid-19 deaths was slightly under the number of deaths during the Blitz, although the numbers are very similar. The true number of deaths related to Covid-19 is likely to be higher than the toll during the Blitz.
We can only sell lamb to Japan because of the EU-Japan trade deal.
It’s incorrect to say we can only export lamb to Japan because of the EU-Japan trade deal. It’s because Japan lifted a ban on lamb imports from the UK.
We sell lamb to Japan as a result of Japan agreeing to drop an import ban. Japan charges no tariffs on lamb, so farmers will continue to export lamb to Japan tariff free post-Brexit.
Members of the House of Lords get £300 a day.
A few members of the House of Lords are paid a salary, but most are not. Instead they can choose to claim an allowance of up to £300 for attending sittings of the House or its committees.
Generally, members of the Lords can claim £300 a day for attendance or choose to claim a lower rate, or not at all. They can also claim for some expenses.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s home renovations cost £2.4 million in taxpayer funds.
Renovations to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s home were paid for out of public money.
The renovations did cost this much, and the money came directly out of public funds. But taxpayers aren’t financially worse off because these renovations happened.
Government investment in flood defences will be £2.3 billion in the next six years, higher than in previous parliaments.
Capital spending is set to be £1.9 billion this parliament, up from previous parliaments. But capital spending isn't the whole story.
Over the next five years capital spending on flood defences will be £1.9 billion, which is a fairer way to compare spending with previous parliaments. Either way, it's an above-inflation increase compared to the previous two parliaments.
MPs can claim £50 for the cost of a breakfast.
This familiar claim has returned on Facebook. MPs’ food and drink allowance, when they are away on business, is £25 per day.
No, they can’t. The maximum daily food and drink allowance for MPs is £25.
This is not true. All of the Covid-19 vaccines have been approved for safety and effectiveness through clinical trials.
If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold.
Government data shows the fully vaccinated will develop AIDS by the end of February.
There is no evidence that vaccines cause a type of AIDS, that declining efficacy from a Covid-19 vaccine would cause AIDS or that being vaccinated reduces your protection against Covid-19.
Tariffs on exporting lamb and sheep to the EU will be 40% in a no deal Brexit scenario.
The tariff level varies depending on which lamb or sheep product is being exported. But 40% is within that range.
A new trial drug being tested by Pfizer is actually ivermectin being rebranded.
Incorrect. There may be similarities in how they work, but the two drugs are structurally very different.
Every person who shares or comments on a Facebook post will receive a free Morrisons food box and voucher, collectively worth £50.
A post on Facebook claims that people can receive a free food box in exchange for comments and shares.
This is not true. Morrisons have confirmed the post is a scam, and have warned people not to interact with the post.
There is a 0.42% chance of an asteroid hitting Earth on 2 November.
NASA says there is a 0.41% chance of an asteroid entering Earth’s atmosphere but, if so, it is so small it would burn up in the atmosphere before “hitting Earth.”
A report two years ago claimed that 6,000 veterans were homeless, but homelessness includes those in temporary accommodation. The number sleeping rough is probably much lower.
A Facebook post has claimed Chris Whitty received £40 million in funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The money was given to the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, where Chris Whitty worked.
This is not true. Professor Whitty was working at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine when they received a large grant, $40 million of which went to a group of malaria research bodies of which he was Director and Principal Investigator.
Low-paid workers are trapped in poverty.
Definitions are important. While the workers in a report from the Resolution Foundation may be "stuck" in a low-paying job, this doesn't mean that they are in poverty.
This muddles definitions. The report in question didn't discuss poverty. Although the issues are related, not all low-paid workers are in poverty.
There are fewer good schools in the Midlands and North of England compared to the South.
There are fewer secondary schools rated good or outstanding in the North of England and the Midlands compared to the South.
That’s correct according to Ofsted ratings. There’s a small North-South divide in the percentage of primary schools rated “good” or “outstanding”, and a significant one when it comes to secondary schools.
The UK’s police commissioner said that police have no power to enforce rules on people wearing masks in shops.
Some police officers and groups have suggested the new mask rules may be tricky to enforce.
There is no “UK police commissioner”. One police group has said the new rules will be difficult to enforce in practice, but not that they have no legal power to enforce them. Police do have these powers.
£1 in every £10 that goes to the NHS is to pay off debts from Private Finance Initiatives (PFIs).
The Department of Health paid £2 billion last year in charges for PFIs on the NHS.
This isn’t correct according to the latest cost estimates. These suggest ongoing annual costs are about 2% of the NHS budget, or £1 in every £55.
A video shows protests at the Rothschild Castle, Switzerland.
It shows a demonstration against pandemic rules outside the parliament building in Bern, Switzerland.
Incorrect. It shows protests outside the federal parliament building in Bern.
The government’s pledge to halve the disability employment gap won’t be met for 50 years.
We looked at whether the government’s pledge to halve the disability employment gap won’t be met for 50 years.
The gap isn’t currently falling fast enough to meet the government’s pledge, but the idea it’s 50 years away is more rhetorical than factual.
A record number of people killed themselves in English and Welsh prisons in 2016.
It's correct that the latest figures show a record level of self-inflicted deaths in English and Welsh prisons in 2016.
That’s correct, going back to 1978. The rate of self-inflicted deaths per 1,000 prisoners is also close to a record high.
2.6 million WASPI women are affected by the changes to the state pension age.
Correct. 2.6 million women (and 2.3 million men) are affected by the changes made in 2011. Other women are affected by earlier changes.
A photo of a rat makes it look deceptively big. It almost certainly weighed less than 3kg, rather than 12kg as claimed.
Incorrect. The photo makes the rat look deceptively big. It almost certainly weighed less than 3kg.
German TV said there were 2.2 million people at the People’s Vote march on Saturday 19 October.
We’ve seen no evidence any German TV station said this. All the reporting we’ve seen from German TV and other news media outlets put the number in the tens or hundreds of thousands.
The court found there was no actual bias in the awarding of a contract to Public First.
The Cabinet Minister claimed on Sky News that there was no actual bias and no breach of the ministerial code in the decision to award a contract to Public First.
The question the court was asked to determine was whether the award of the contract was unlawful because of “apparent bias”. The judgment explicitly states that there was no suggestion of actual bias (it was not an issue that the court was asked to address). The court ruled there was apparent bias and therefore the award of the contract was unlawful.
If we Vote Leave… We will trade with Europe without handing over permanent control to people we cannot vote out […] If we Vote Leave… We will control our own economy and trade
We’ll still trade with Europe if we leave the EU. That trade will be controlled by, and may be affected by, any agreement we reach with the EU.
A million people attended the anti-lockdown march in London on 24 April 2021.
The march passed under Waterloo Bridge in 50 minutes. It’s unfeasible that one million people could pass through that space in 50 minutes.
This is implausible based on video footage of the march.
EU immigrants pay £1.34 in taxes for every £1 they receive in state assistance
Research has previously found this for recently-arrived immigrants from the rest of the EU.
Research has found this for recent immigrants from other EU countries, but counting those who came before 2000 reduces this figure. This is a difficult thing to measure, and other research has different findings.
The number of NHS overnight beds has fallen by a fifth over the last decade.
The number has fallen, but we don’t know by how far. The bed count included more things a decade ago, so this claim isn’t based on a fair comparison.
24,300 people died from preventable causes over winter last year.
There were 24,300 excess winter deaths in 2015/16. These deaths were largely attributed to respiratory or circulatory conditions or dementia.
24,300 more people died during the winter in 2015/16 than the average over the months before and after. These deaths are known as excess winter deaths and are largely attributed to respiratory diseases, circulatory conditions or dementia.
Deliveroo will have to recognise a union if over half the drivers in an area sign up to it.
On 7 November, the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) asked Deliveroo, an online food delivery company, to voluntarily recognise it as the trade union for Deliveroo drivers and riders
That’s likely, but not completely guaranteed since the Central Arbitration Committee may decide that the drivers should hold a ballot on union representation anyway. The appointed panel would also have to decide that Deliveroo drivers are ‘workers’, not self-employed contractors.
Ukraine’s road signs authority changed a sign to tell Russian troops to “go f*** yourselves”.
The picture, which went viral online, was designed by the Ukrainian authorities to encourage people to tear down road signs.
The Ukrainian road signs authority did post a picture of this sign, but it is not genuine. Rather, it was Photoshopped as part of a post encouraging Ukrainians to dismantle road signs.
A recent poll by parent voice charity Parentkind found that nearly two thirds of parents of secondary school children are not in favour of masks in the classroom.
A recent poll found two thirds of parents of secondary school pupils were against mask wearing in classrooms, but the results may not be representative of parents generally.
The survey was not necessarily representative of parents in general. However, other data supports the finding that most parents are opposed to face masks in classrooms.
Tesco is giving away free TVs to people who share a Facebook post, or visit a link.
Tesco has told us that it does not come from its Facebook account, and it does not offer rewards for liking, sharing or commenting on posts.
This is not true. The post does not come from Tesco’s Facebook account. Tesco has told us that it does not offer rewards for liking, sharing or commenting on posts.
Menachem Begin killed World War Two veterans and then booby trapped their bodies to kill those who found them.
Begin ordered the killing of the two British soldiers and their bodies were booby trapped.
In September 2021 there was a three-week period when renewables produced between 2% and 3% of the country’s electricity.
Nigel Farage claimed renewables produced just 2-3% of the country’s electricity for three weeks in September. But it was 10%-19% each day and has since increased.
False. During the first three weeks of September, wind, solar and hydroelectricity accounted for their lowest share of total electricity generation during the month, but it was still between 10% and 19% on average, each day.
Fighting cross-border crime — the EAW allows us to deport criminals from the UK and catch those fleeing justice across Europe
The European Arrest Warrant does allow the government to remove criminals from the UK to other EU countries, but a similar arrangement might be negotiated if we voted to leave.
Pupils on free school meals do far worse in GCSEs in selective Kent compared to non-selective London.
How many grammar school pupils are on free school meals?
Correct, although London is well ahead of the rest of England as well.
Every time the Labour party has been in government, it has left unemployment higher than when it came in.
Labour has led the UK government on six occasions. Unemployment rose during five of those.
Only two of Labour’s periods in government are covered by the most recent comparable data, but this is not quite correct looking at the data we have over all times Labour was in government. Unemployment fell during Ramsay MacDonald’s first term in 1924. Labour was also part of a war time coalition during which unemployment fell.
Hundreds of thousands of children are in overcrowded classrooms.
Hundreds of thousands of children were in classes of more than 30 last year. That’s been true for at least the last decade, although it’s become more common to have large primary school classes recently.
US military data shows a huge increase in rates of cancer, as well as other medical conditions, following the Covid-19 vaccine rollout.
The blog post making these claims is based on false US military data.
There are four million 17 year-olds that turn 18 before the November election.
The image is about the US. There are only around 725,000 17 year-olds in the UK.
Incorrect—there are only around 725,000 17 year-olds in the UK. The general election is set to be on 12 December.
The BBC used old footage of Boris Johnson laying a Remembrance wreath.
Excerpt The footage is from the 2016 Remembrance Sunday service. The BBC says it was a production error.
Correct, in 2019 it twice used footage from the 2016 Remembrance Sunday service.
You can’t be a member of the European single market without being a member of the EU.
It’s technically possible for a non-EU member to be in the single market. But this arrangement means accepting rules set by the EU.
It’s technically possible for a non-EU member to be in the single market but it requires accepting a lot of rules set by the EU.
Asylum seekers are often here illegally.
It is legal to apply for asylum in the UK. You can’t be penalised if applying for asylum if you entered or are in the country illegally.
Hydroxychloroquine and zinc have been used all over the world to cure Covid-19.
They haven’t. Studies looking at hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with zinc show no effect either as a treatment or as a preventative measure.
Record levels of working class students are leaving university before completing their degree.
The proportion of first time UK students from disadvantaged areas leaving higher education during or after the first year of their degree in England is at its highest level for five years.
The proportion of young UK students from disadvantaged areas dropping out of higher education in England by their second year is at its highest level for five years, but it’s not a record high. That’s looking at full-time students on their first degree, and is based on educational disadvantage. Disadvantaged students, including working class students, are generally more likely to drop out than advantaged.
1 in 100 children in this country are homeless.
Roughly this many children are in temporary accommodation in Great Britain.
The UK government now admits that vaccines have damaged the natural immune system of those who have been double-vaccinated.
This seems to be based on misinterpretations of government reports.
The government hasn’t said this and there’s no evidence it’s true.
Pictures show Condoleezza Rice, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama pictured with Osama Bin Laden.
Pictures of the terrorist with Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Condoleeza Rice are not real.
After nine years of a Conservative government, child poverty is up 50%.
Incorrect. There’s no single measure of child poverty, but depending on which you use it has risen by up to 5% or fallen by up to 3% between 2009/10 and 2017/18, under coalition and Conservative governments.
100,000 retail jobs have been lost in three years.
The number of retail jobs changes with the season, but the annual average has dropped slightly in the last three years.
There were 98,000 fewer jobs in retail in Great Britain in June 2018 than in June 2015, a drop of around 4%. These figures don’t count self-employed jobs or those in online retail.
Despite pledging to meet net zero emissions by 2050, on current track the government will only meet their target by 2099.
Labour’s claim that net zero emissions won’t be reached until 2099 cannot be proved.
Labour’s analysis is based on unfounded assumptions and the claim can’t be proved. That said, there is evidence the government is not on track to hit net zero by 2050.
The government’s Social Mobility Commission concluded there are 600,000 more children living in relative poverty than in 2012.
Correct - this refers to the number of children living in low income households as defined by the government.
NASA just hired 24 theologians to assess how the world would react if we discovered alien life.
The space agency funded a study programme for 24 theologians which ended in 2017.
NASA did fund a programme undertaken by 24 theologians to study how major religions would react to the discovery of alien life, but did not directly hire the academics. The NASA funding for the programme ended in 2017.
That’s correct. Sadiq Khan is a practising Muslim.
There is no test that can identify the Delta variant.
The Delta variant can be identified through analysis of viral genetic material from positive PCR tests. The Delta variant is the main strain of Covid-19 in the UK currently.
650 of these are elected, 808 are unelected, and 36 were just appointed and include the Prime Minister’s brother and friends.
The 650 members of The House of Commons were elected to their positions by members of the public. Members of the House of Lords are elected by the Prime Minister, the Lords Appointment Commission, or other peers. A recent announcement of new peers did include Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s brother.
The police budget has been protected since 2015.
The England and Wales police budget has been protected since 2015 with increased local taxation making up for reductions in central government funding. If local taxation for the police is maximised in future, police funding overall will be protected.
Tens of thousands of doctors and nurses in the NHS are from other EU countries.
That is correct. The number of reported other EU nationals working for the NHS in March 2019 was 65,000, of whom around 31,000 were doctors and nurses.
Flu caused more deaths in the UK than Covid-19 did between 19 June and 31 July.
Flu is not the underlying cause of deaths in more people than Covid-19.
This compares how many death certificates mentioned flu and/or pneumonia, compared to those which mentioned Covid-19. This doesn’t mean they were mentioned as the underlying cause of death. There are almost certainly fewer deaths where flu is the underlying cause compared to Covid-19.
An image of Neil Armstrong’s space boots do not match an image of his footprints on the moon.
This picture of Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit doesn’t include the ‘lunar overshoes’ he actually wore on the moon.
Neil Armstrong wore moon boots over the spacesuit in the picture when he walked on the moon. These moon boots do match pictures of his and Buzz Aldrin’s footprints.

The vaccines hadn’t been rolled out at this point, and there were 658 new infections on this date in 2020.
The population is projected to grow to 74 million, another 10 million by 2039.
Not quite, the population is projected to rise to 72.5 million by 2039, an increase of 7 million compared to 2016.
Each side of protective surgical masks has different functions, indicated by colour, and you should choose the way you wear by whether you are ill or not.
Wearing a protective mask the wrong way around can reduce its effectiveness.
This is incorrect. Generally, if they have a coloured side, you should wear your mask with this pointing outward—but always read the manufacturer’s instructions to be sure.
The junior doctors' strike will put 200 lives at risk.
It's been suggested that junior doctors' strike action could put 200 lives at risk, but that number isn't backed up by any published evidence.
This number is unsubstantiated, and we have questions about the assumption it appears to be based on.
8% of stop and searches are knife crime related
9% of successful stop and searches in London relate to possession of an offensive weapon, which includes knives, as well as other sharp weapons and acid.
We can’t say for certain. The claim refers to London, where in the first three months of 2018, 9% of stop and searches that led to a “positive outcome”, were for “weapons, points and blades”. This category includes things like acid and screwdrivers as well as knives. We don’t have the same figure for England and Wales.
A video shows a fire started by a Russian airstrike.
A video recorded by an American man of a warehouse exploding has been wrongly claimed to show Russian airstrikes in Ukraine.
The video shows an explosion at a warehouse in China in 2015.
The government has changed the definition of child poverty, meaning that figures showing no significant change since 2010 can’t be trusted.
The Conservative government hasn’t redefined child poverty, in terms of changing what’s counted or how it’s counted. But it did change the target.
They haven’t changed what’s counted or how it’s counted. They did change the target. We can still use the original measures of child poverty to see whether the numbers are going up or down.
Rail companies have held average fare increases below inflation.
Rail fare increases have been called both above and below inflation. They’re probably getting more expensive than most other things.
Rail companies have held price increases slightly below the RPI measure of inflation, but this isn’t considered reliable. Better measures of inflation suggest the fare increases are higher than inflation.

The number of people using food banks since 2010 has gone from the tens of thousands to the millions.
We don’t know how many people use food banks in total. The Trussell Trust, which is estimated to run around half of all food banks in the UK, says it had around 560,000 people using its services.
The number of uses of Trussell Trust food banks has increased over this period from 41,000 to 1.2 million, but we don’t know how many individual people use food banks in total. The Trust estimates it had 560,000 users in 2016/17, but this won’t reflect the total number of people using food banks in the UK.
The government’s no deal Brexit preparations are costing £171,000 per hour.

False. It shows protestors at an anti-Brexit march in October 2018.
If we leave the EU with no deal, the divorce bill is no longer strictly speaking owed.
It’s highly uncertain whether or not the UK would have to pay the divorce bill, if it left the EU with no deal.
It’s not clearly set out that the UK would be obliged to pay anything if we left with no deal, but the EU could take the case to the International Court of Justice on the grounds of the UK’s repeated commitments to pay.
Only 1.6% of Irish exports go to Northern Ireland.
The spike protein in some Covid-19 vaccines is toxic to humans.

The masks they give to hospital staff and in schools say they do not protect against Covid-19.
Masks may offer some limited protection to the wearer and are likely to protect others if the wearer is infectious.
The masks pictured may offer some limited protection to the wearer, and can stop them spreading it if they are infected. Hospital staff are required to wear these masks, but they may also wear respirators that do protect the wearer. Face coverings and masks are not recommended for use at schools in England except in some circumstances.
The Conservative government has cut benefits for more than two children in a family unless the mother can prove she was raped when that child was conceived.
The Conservatives have introduced a two-child cap on Child Tax Credit, which includes an exception for conception during non-consensual sex or sex in an abusive relationship.

Obesity costs the economy £27 billion a year.
We’ve looked into the claim that it costs £27 billion.
This is the best estimate we’ve got of the total cost of obesity and being overweight to the NHS and the economy. But it’s based on analysis that’s over a decade old and there’s a lot of uncertainty to the numbers.
The vaccine is being made by MIT which is a deep state cabal company.
None of the vaccines are being made by MIT, which is a highly-respected university.

A recent survey found 58% of UK adults aged 18-64 would be “very comfortable” with a female head of government, and a further 30% were “fairly comfortable”.
Hundreds of convicted killers could be released from prison after a recent change to the law on 'joint enterprise'.
Could killers walk free as a result of changes to the law? Not necessarily.
People convicted of a 'joint enterprise' killing can appeal but the Supreme Court stressed when changing the law that it wouldn't automatically overturn all such cases. It depends whether the change would be relevant to a particular case and on there being a "substantial injustice".
The French ambassador to Afghanistan has left the country’s capital.
The French embassy has left its building in Kabul’s diplomatic quarter and relocated to the airport.
False. The embassy has relocated to Kabul airport.
The Spanish Flu did not originate in Spain. It actually originated in Fort Riley, Kansas due to an experimental bacterial meningitis.
There continues to be a debate about where geographically the 1918 pandemic began, and there were some early cases documented in Fort Riley, Kansas. However, experts say there is “no way” that a meningitis vaccine could have contributed to starting a flu epidemic.
The NHS operates on the wrong part of someone’s body four times a day.
Jeremy Hunt said the NHS operates on the wrong part of someone’s body four times a day. It’s actually four times a week.

Oil is $110 a barrel and petrol can cost £1.70 per litre. In 2008 oil was $140 a barrel but petrol was only £1.04 a litre.
International oil prices recently reached similar levels to 2008, but pump prices haven’t dropped to what they were back then.
The oil prices are correct as of July 2008 and early March 2022. The current petrol price figure is broadly accurate, but the figure given for 2008 is around 15p lower than the price of petrol actually was when oil reached $140 a barrel.
The NHS was rated the most efficient health service in the world by the Commonwealth Fund.
There are 23,000 Syrian refugees coming to the UK.

Theresa May claimed the entirety of her monthly mortgage payments—between around £1,700 per month and £2,700 per month.
These aren’t monthly figures and Mrs May didn’t claim expenses for her entire mortgage. She claimed expenses on the interest payments for her mortgage on her second home, as MPs were allowed to do before 2010. She consistently claimed around £450-500 a month between June 2006 and January 2008.

Correct, but 66% think that antisemitism in the Labour Party is a genuine problem.
Locking down in the early stages of the virus is linked to a reduced excess death toll.
Analysis comparing countries’ excess deaths tallies based on when they locked down needs to be put into context.
This may be true, but showing a correlation between the number of excess deaths and the time of lockdown is not enough evidence to argue this point, as the FT did.
People were stabbed at protests in London over the weekend of 13 June.
The Met police have confirmed no stabbings happened at the protests.
This is incorrect. The Met Police have said that there were no reported stabbings at the protests over the weekend.

There is no reason to doubt the validity of this claim, although it has been reposted several times, and the original post was made on 28 March.
More FTSE 100 board directors are women than ever before.
Correct. The proportion seems to have fallen fractionally in the months leading up to March 2017, although that’s nothing compared to the large year-on-year increases that came previously. Slightly over a quarter of FTSE 100 board members are women, so we’re still some way off equal representation on company boards.
People who die within 28 days of a positive Covid-19 test have Covid put on their death certificate automatically.
False. Medical professionals filling out death certificates are not required to note a Covid-19 test result if they don’t think it was relevant to the cause of death.
Based on ONS data, immigration has put English house prices up by 20% over the last 25 years.
It’s impossible to say for definite how much immigration has pushed up house prices.
It’s impossible to say for definite. Government analysis suggests immigration has pushed English house prices up by 20% but says it’s not meant to be a complete answer, and should be used with caution. There is no consensus across other research.
23.5 million people in England haven’t had a single dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
Depending on which population figure you use, the number of people unvaccinated in England could be 12.3 million or 19.5 million.
False. This is based on flawed maths and is too high. There are two estimates for the true figure, depending on which population estimate you use, but both are considerably lower.

Immigration has repeatedly been highlighted as the top issue facing the UK in recent years.
Polls suggest that immigration is currently the biggest issue for people in the UK and that a majority of people think it should be reduced.

Incorrect. The trial referenced was for a different type of coronavirus—Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).
Dettol antiseptic spray says it kills coronavirus.
That is correct but that doesn’t refer to the new coronavirus (Covid-19) identified in Wuhan. Coronavirus is a large category of viruses that includes the common cold. Dettol has said its products haven’t been tested against the new virus yet.
Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are cures for the new coronavirus.
People have been claiming that the drug, and a similar one hydroxychloroquine cures the virus. We don’t know if that’s true yet.

Restricting in-work benefits to EU migrants would make a huge difference to EU migration.
Sir Stephen Nickell has said that restricting access to benefits wouldn't have much impact on EU immigration, Iain Duncan Smith says it would.

That’s right for carbon dioxide emissions. Looking at all greenhouse gases, the reduction was slightly higher in 2009.
The courts have said that the so-called 'bedroom tax' is illegal.
The Court of Appeal says that the so-called 'bedroom tax' discriminates against two particular groups of people. This doesn't spell the end of the policy.
The decision affects victims of domestic violence whose homes have 'panic spaces', and disabled children who need overnight carers. It doesn't spell the end of the policy in general and is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court.
Picture of a gazelle looking calm while being killed shows a mother sacrificing herself to allow her children to get away. Taking the photo led the photographer to fall into a depression.
The photographer says the impala was probably in shock and paralysed with fear.
This is an image of an impala. The photographer says this is “a completely ridiculous fake story” and the image actually shows cheetah young practicing their hunting.
250,000 pieces of extremist material have been taken down from the Internet since February 2010.
It’s the job of one particular police unit to “instigate” the removal of extremist material from the Internet where it breaches internet companies’ terms of service, or the law.
As of 21 December 2016, 249,091 pieces of extremist content have been taken down by the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit, according to official figures.
In Wales you cannot sit in the park on a bench.
When the Facebook post the claim is from was shared the Welsh government said you shouldn’t spend a prolonged period on a park bench.

A Facebook post includes a made up quote from Boris Johnson’s mum saying she hoped he never went into politics.
Mrs Johnson Wahl never said this. It is almost identical to another quote, attributed to Donald Trump’s mother, which was also debunked.

Correct for England, looking at a comparable measure of council funding which includes central government grants, council tax and business rates, called “core spending power”.
91p per person per day has been spent on Brexit since 2016.
Incorrect. This seems to be derived from an estimate that the Brexit vote reduced UK GDP growth by £66 billion in two and a half years. That is not the same as money spent on Brexit, and it is an estimate based on modelling, not a definitive sum.
Article 61 of Magna Carta allows for lawful dissent and rebellion. It also means that businesses don’t have to close under Covid-19 regulations.
Clause 61 of the original document set out rules for specific barons. The clause was removed after a year.
This is all incorrect. Clause 61 of the 1215 Magna Carta set out rules for 25 specific barons. It did not allow the general population to rebel, and it was also removed from subsequent versions of the document.
Covid-19 kills roughly the same number of people as flu.
False. The death toll from Covid-19 far exceeds that from seasonal flu.
A girl called Alice was kidnapped when out walking with her family and authorities need help identifying the suspect from a video.
A website claiming you need to verify your age via Facebook to see a video of a suspect in a kidnapping case is not legitimate.
This is a scam webpage to harvest Facebook login details, which the site asks for to view the video of the “suspect”. This is not a genuine missing person case.
A picture of tractors blocking a motorway in Holland was taken yesterday and is part of a global protest movement.
The photo was taken in 2019, and has nothing to do with current protests against vaccine mandates in Canada.
This is not true. The picture is from 2019, and the protest shown was against climate change policies in the Netherlands.
Londoners are the “most likely” people in the country to search for teeth whitening treatments
Articles claimed Londoners made more searches than any other UK city for teeth whitening. The study failed to adjust for population.
This doesn’t appear to be true. All the results of this study show is that London had the highest volume of searches, but it does not tell us anything about likelihood to search for teeth whitening as the numbers aren’t adjusted for population.
Mandatory vaccines became law from Wednesday 6 January 2021.
Parliament did vote on new regulations on Wednesday, but these new rules didn’t make vaccines mandatory.
This is not true. Vaccines are not mandatory in the UK, and the changes to the law introducing a third lockdown in England on Wednesday don’t change that.
Lawyers have repeatedly said that there is no legal obligation for the UK to pay to leave the EU.
Some lawyers have said this, but there are differing legal views on the matter.
Labour are planning to raise corporation tax to a rate that’s lower than it was in 2010.
80% of selective schools are rated as outstanding compared to 20% of all state schools. 99% of selective schools are rated good or outstanding.
A greater proportion of grammar schools are rated “outstanding” or “good” by Ofsted than the proportion of all UK state schools rated in these top two categories.
This is correct. 82% of selective schools were rated outstanding as of August 2016, compared to just over 20% of all state schools. 99% of selective schools received the top two ratings compared to 88% of all schools.
Last year, 91% of school places created were in good or outstanding schools.
Correct. Between 2015/16 and 2016/17, 91% of new primary and secondary school places were created in schools that were last rated good or outstanding.

The WHO has explicitly said that surgical masks do not cause low oxygen levels.
The UK is the only G7 country to be reducing aid spending in 2021.
This may be true, but we don’t yet have enough evidence to be sure. The UK certainly plans to reduce aid spending significantly in 2021. Most other G7 countries plan to increase it. We don’t yet know whether they all will, on all measures.
Myocarditis acquired after a Covid-19 vaccination is more dangerous than that acquired after a Covid infection.
Evidence actually shows you’re at greater risk of myocarditis after Covid-19 infection and may experience worse clinical outcomes.
The Scottish government’s budget has been cut dramatically since 2010/11.
It fell on any measure between 2010-11 and 2013-14. Since then it’s either flatlined, risen slightly, or returned to roughly the same value—it depends on what you include.
Men are less likely to develop breast cancer because antiperspirant deodorant is applied to the hair rather than directly on to the skin.
Men are less likely to develop breast cancer due to differences in the amount and type of breast tissue in men. There are also important hormonal differences between men and women which relate to this.
The VAERS website shows a list of damage and death caused by vaccines.
No it doesn’t. It shows a list of events reported after vaccination, not necessarily caused by it. Reports in the UK so far show no deaths caused by Covid vaccines.
While Boris Johnson was mayor of London, crime fell by 20%.
This is a fair estimate using the best available data. The crime rate fell by 23% between 2007/08 and 2015/16, though this only looks at crime recorded by the police and there are other caveats to this data.
87 people are dying a day waiting for care.
The data behind this figure has limitations and there are some reasons to suspect the true figure may be lower.
NHS data shows the equivalent of 88 requests a day for social care support from councils in England did not reach a conclusion as the requester died. There are a number of limitations to this data so we can’t be sure how true this figure is.
All posts on Facebook are about to be made public.
This an old rumour that has been spread many times before.
This is not true. It is an old rumour that has been spread many times before.
Irish people were forced into slavery in British Colonies for hundreds of years.
The myth is based on a misunderstanding of indentured servitude.
This is incorrect. Claiming the Irish experience of indentured servitude was chattel slavery is a misrepresentation of history.
Sajid Javid said that Covid-19 deaths in the UK had been overestimated.
This is misleading without context. Mr Javid said that one measure of Covid-19 deaths had begun to overestimate the total since the Omicron variant arrived in the UK. However, this does not affect the more accurate measure of the death toll during the pandemic, which is based on death certificates.
In the USA there have been 387,087 reports of adverse events after the Covid-19 vaccination.
Reports of adverse events following vaccines could indicate a vaccine is the cause, but this isn’t proof in and of itself.
Adverse event reports after vaccination are not proof that the vaccine was the cause.
97% of Labour activists back a "Remain alliance" election pact.
The claim that 97% of Labour activists want a “Remain alliance” comes from a survey of a pro-remain campaign group. It is not representative of all Labour activists.
Incorrect. This is based on a survey of supporters of a pro-remain Labour campaign group. It is not representative of all Labour activists.
A referendum can be legally non-binding but, arguably, politically binding.
The referendum wasn’t legally binding, but there’s plenty of scope for argument about whether politicians should feel obliged to implement the result anyway.
Over 200,000 nurses have resigned since 2010.
Incorrect. This figure covers all nurses and health visitors who have left the NHS in England from 2010 to 2018, including those with an unknown reason for leaving as well as those who have retired or died in service. Overall the number of nurses working in the NHS is higher than in 2010.
Matt Hancock said the death toll rose by 111 in one day, the lowest since lockdown began, but it actually rose by 556.
The cumulative deaths total increased by 445 more than the daily increase in coronavirus deaths.
The death toll was 111 on 1 June, but an extra 445 deaths were added to the cumulative death toll between 31 May and 1 June because of previously unreported deaths in England from April and May.
There is no route at all for you to get rid of Ursula von der Leyen.
The President of the European Commission’s office ends after five years, when new EU elections take place. The President also has to be approved by elected MEPs, who can also vote them out of office with a censure motion.
1.1 million food parcels are given out — 1.1 million people who would starve otherwise.
Over a million food parcels were given last year by the Trussell Trust, but that isn't the same as a million people.
The Trussell Trust did give out 1.1 million parcels last year, but this isn’t the same as the number of people, as people can use food bank vouchers more than once. We don't know how many people nationwide received parcels, but this may be in the right ballpark.
7,000 prison officers have been lost from the prison service in recent years due to austerity measures.
Prison officer numbers have fallen in England and Wales since 2010.
There are 7,000 fewer prison officers now than there were in 2010 on one definition. This fall followed on from the 2010 spending review which reduced funding for the Ministry of Justice.
Just 13,844 people in England and Wales were infected with Covid-19 in 2020.
Doctors only report a small fraction of Covid infections through the NOIDs system.
This is close to the number of NOIDs notifications by doctors, but it is not the total number of infections. Almost 2.5 million people tested positive for Covid-19 in England and Wales last year.
No longer sending money to the EU means we will have money to spend on priorities like the NHS.
The UK is one of the three countries that puts the most money into the EU budget.
The UK has been the third or fourth largest contributing country to the EU budget in recent years, and of the 28 member states is one of 10 to contribute more than it gets back in receipts.
If you do catch Covid-19, you have a “one in a 100 percent” chance of dying.
Covid-19’s fatality rate is still being determined, but somewhere between 0.5% and 1% is a reasonable estimate. However, this varies depending on a person’s health and background.
Iain Duncan Smith MP has use of a House of Commons bar where purchases are subsidised by £7 to every £10 spent.
Although not directly subsidised, the catering services run at a loss, so public money is effectively spent subsidising the catering overall.
The Covid-19 virus cannot be detected with tests.
This is not true. PCR tests can detect it very accurately.
There are more people in work in the UK than for many years.
Correct. 32 million people are in employment, which is a near record level, as is the employment rate at 75%.
Ten thousand or more families have suffered “serious damage” as a result of getting a Covid-19 vaccine.
Again, there is no available data to substantiate this claim and no source was provided.
There’s no evidence that 5G can harm your health.
All UK Covid-19 vaccines have been shown to be effective and safe through clinical trials.
Kary Mullis said: “Anyone can test positive for practically anything with a PCR test, if you run it long enough with PCR if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody. It doesn’t tell you that you’re sick.”
Kary Mullis did not say these words exactly but statements to that effect at an event discussing HIV and AIDS in 1997. It’s not true that you can find ‘anything in anybody’ using PCR tests. Covid-19 PCR tests are very specific.
There has been a 0.5% year on year increase in the dropout rate of students since the introduction of £9,000 fees in 2012.
Incorrect, but not far off. This is the percentage point change over two years rather than yearly. It grew from a 5.7% dropout rate in 2012 to 6.2% in 2014. We don’t know how much this is linked with the increase in fees.
Diane Abbott said that Chairman Mao did more good than harm.
This was said during an interview on This Week in 2008.
Correct. During an episode of This Week in 2008 she said “I suppose that some people would judge that on balance Mao did more good than harm”.
Emmanuel Macron said the UK will only be allowed to stay in the EU if they fully adopt all EU rules and regulations including adopting the Euro within six months of stopping Brexit.
He hasn’t said this. If the UK remained in the EU we would have to continue following EU law, but not in areas where we have opt-outs. This means we wouldn’t have to join the Euro.
These images are all from Black Lives Matter protests in London last weekend.
The images include photos from a pro-Tommy Robinson protest, a far-right protest, and one against David Cameron.
This is not true. Three of the images are from last weekend’s protests, the others are from protests in the UK dating back to 2016.
Dandelion root is able to kill 98% of cancer cells within 48 hours.
It has been shown to have some effect in lab studies, and in mice, but evidence in humans is lacking.
Laboratory studies using cancer cells have shown that dandelion root extract has anti-cancer effects, but this has not been proven in humans.
Elderly people were ‘culled’ in care homes, hospices and other places using a drug called midazolam.
People have died in care homes during the Covid-19 pandemic. While midazolam is often used in end of life care, there is no evidence to suggest that this has been used with the intention of killing people, or as part of a euthanasia policy.
Italian news channel TGCOM24 used footage from the 1998 film Deep Impact in a segment about people fleeing Kyiv.
Italian fact checkers have found no evidence the shot was broadcast by TGCOM24.
There is no evidence this footage was ever broadcast by TGCOM24. There are several indicators that the post is not genuine.
The risks of myocarditis in children after vaccination are more serious and more prominent than post-Covid.
Evidence suggests the risk of myocarditis is higher following Covid-19 infection and the clinical outcomes may be worse.
Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla hasn’t been vaccinated against Covid-19 because he is “healthy” and doesn’t want to “cut the line”.
A video of Albert Bourla saying he hasn’t been vaccinated for Covid-19 yet is from December 2020.
Mr Bourla said this in December 2020. He has since publicly shared pictures of him being vaccinated against Covid-19.
The risk of dying after a Covid vaccination is 1 in 31,000.
False. It is unclear where this figure comes from, but it is far too high. In the UK, around 50 deaths have been possibly linked to one of the vaccines, an incidence of 1 in 470,000.
Domestic abuse rates increase by 38% when England loses football matches.
We take a look at a widely shared figure that there were 38% more reported incidents of domestic abuse when England lost World Cup games.
A 2014 study found the number of domestic abuse incidents reported to police in Lancashire increased by 38% when England lost a match compared to when they weren’t playing. It was 26% higher if England won or there was a draw.
The police don't normally look back and investigate things that have taken place a year ago.
Asked about an alleged party at Downing Street during lockdown, Dominic Raab claimed police ‘don’t normally’ investigate alleged offences which took place a year ago.
Police often investigate alleged offences which took place years before. This is less clear cut in the context of breaches of Covid-19 regulations, which police say they do not routinely investigate retrospectively.
Our Tory government gives itself a £3,300 pay rise.
It’s been proposed that the salary of all UK MPs will rise by around £3,300, but the government does not set pay.
Death rates are lower than previous years which proves Covid-19 hasn’t killed or is killing anyone.
A Facebook post falsely claims that lower death rates prove Covid-19 is not killing anyone.
While death rates in England have fallen to their lowest levels since 2001, Covid-19 caused one of the biggest spikes in death rates of the past 20 years. Although rates have dropped since last year, people are still dying from Covid-19.
An illustration shows that the Covid-19 test involves a swab going all the way to the back of the nose.
There are different ways to take samples to test someone for Covid-19.
This illustration is from a medical imaging company showing a nasopharyngeal swab Covid-19 test. Not all tests are done this way.
Government spending on mental health services is now £11.7 billion.
Perhaps £11.7 billion was spent on mental health in 2014/15, or perhaps not.
This is the right figure, but it’s only an estimate.
A letter sent by a Liverpool school claimed consent wasn’t needed to test children for Covid-19 during a city-wide testing scheme.
The letter was sent without input from the council. A new letter issued to parents asks for consent to test children.
While the letter was genuine, it was withdrawn days after being sent by the school and replaced by a new letter saying consent was required. The council says the first letter was drafted without input from its public health teams.
A quarter of primary school leavers are unable to read or write properly.
A quarter of year 6 students (10 to 11 year-olds) in England do not achieve the expected reading level in their SATs. This doesn’t mean they can’t read.
25% of 10 and 11 year-old students in England did not reach the expected level of reading in their SATs and 22% when tested on grammar, punctuation and spelling. There are other measures of literacy which show similar or slightly lower proportions failing to meet the standards.
Just 15% of people who begin low-paid work in the UK will rise out of low pay during their working lives. This is the worst rate in the developed world.
There are different ways to measure the number of people who exceed low-pay or low-skill work, but it is more than 15% during the course of a working life.
This claim is based on EU data from 2004-2011 showing the proportion of workers moving upwards from any skill level over four years, not in their lifetimes. The same data shows 35-40% of people rising out of low pay in the UK over a four-year period. The UK’s rate is low compared with other EU countries, but not the lowest.
A picture shows a woman holding a protest sign saying “stop killing volcanoes to make lava lamps”, from the People’s Vote march.
This protest sign isn’t from the People’s Vote march, it’s from 2011, and has been edited.
The picture has been edited. The sign originally said “I’m not very happy about this” and the picture was taken in 2011.
Dominic Cummings appears in a photograph of the Bullingdon Club alongside Boris Johnson and David Cameron.
A post shared on social media incorrectly claims Dominic Cummings is pictured as a member of the Bullingdon Club alongside David Cameron and Boris Johnson.
This is not true. The man identified as Mr Cummings in the photograph is called Harry Eastwood.
BBC Radio 2 DJ gets paid over £1.3 million a year but pensioners have to pay for the TV licence.
An extremely viral post contrasts TV licence changes for the over-75s with DJ Zoe Ball’s pay cheque.
This is how much Zoe Ball got paid to present her Radio 2 breakfast show in 2019/20. Pensioners under 75 have to pay the TV license. People over 75 do not have to pay for a TV licence if either they or a partner they live with receive Pension Credit, which could be as many as 1.5 million households.
The Mu variant of Covid-19 is “immune to vaccines”.
The Covid-19 strain is currently designated a variant of interest and has a number of potentially concerning mutations.
The Mu variant possesses a number of mutations, some of which may make it more likely to evade the immune system. However, it is incorrect to say that the evidence so far suggests the variant is entirely “immune” to vaccines, or that they won’t work at all.
Only 22 per cent of homes already granted planning permission in the Green Belt are affordable.
Correct according to analysis by the Campaign to Protect Rural England. Not all homes with planning permission get built, though some of these already have been. Last year in England 19% of all new homes (within and outside the Green Belt) were “affordable”.
This appears to be an overestimate. Mosquitoes are responsible for no more than around 700,000 deaths per year, or 1,900 a day.
Boris Johnson said his party has “wiped out the national debt”.
We can get a standstill in our current trade arrangements with the EU under Article 24 of GATT, while we negotiate a free trade agreement.
Boris Johnson’s claim during the Conservative leadership debate about Article 24 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade needs some context.
Article 24 does not remove the need to strike a deal with the EU, and experts have said an agreement using this is unlikely to happen.
The overwhelming majority of other EU countries have no steel industry to protect.
Incorrect. Seven EU countries produce more steel than the UK, including large economies like Germany, Italy, and France. The UK is responsible for 4% of the EU’s crude steel production.
The number of people dying today is the same as it would be in any other year.
This is not correct. Deaths in the week to 6 November were 14% higher than the average across the past five years, and higher than the maximum across the past five years.
More than 2,000 more fully qualified staff working in mental health trusts since 2013.
Working for a mental health trust doesn’t mean you work on mental health. This figure hides the detail: mental health nurse numbers in England are down, while staff in the scientific, therapeutic and technical group has gone up.
Asymptomatic transmission of Covid-19 is a hoax.
This is untrue. While studies have shown a wide range of results on how common asymptomatic transmission is, there is clear evidence that it has contributed significantly to the spread of the virus.
The woke culture war is the biggest dividing line among voters.
It came seventh when people were asked about it in a recent survey.
It is not, according to the survey being reported on in this article.
There was no breach of the Ministerial Code.
The Cabinet Office has said there will be no investigation into whether there was a breach as Michael Gove was not personally involved in the awarding of the contract.
Responding to new laws banning handguns in the wake of the Dunblane Massacre, Boris Johnson wrote “Nanny is confiscating their toys. It is like one of those vast Indian programmes of compulsory vasectomy.”
In 1997 he wrote ‘Nanny is confiscating their toys’ referring to gun owners following a handgun ban prompted by the Dunblane Massacre.
Charles Bronson has attacked Thomas Hughes and taken him hostage in his prison cell.
This is false. The two men are in different prisons.
Russia was the first country in the world to dissect Covid-19 corpses (going against WHO’s criminal orders of no autopsies.)
This is false. Scientists in Wuhan, China performed post-mortems as early as 16 February 2020, while the first Covid-19 death in Russia wasn’t announced until March 2020.
The vaccines contain genetically modified organisms.
True. Some of them, such as the AstraZeneca vaccine, do contain GMOs.
In the six years from 2010 rail fares have risen 25% on average.
Have rail fares gone up by a quarter since 2010, as the Labour Party claims?
Lilian Greenwood MP, Shadow Transport Secretary
That's right in cash terms - consumer prices have gone up by about 14% over the same period. The 25% increase is for 'regulated' fares, which make up about half of all fares.
Half of NHS staff will see an average pay increase of 4%.
Correct for 2016/17 according to the NHS Pay Review Body, although we haven’t seen the figures in full. Pay levels have been frozen at 1%, but individuals will be entitled to more money as they move up pay bands.
The survival rate from Covid-19 is 99.8%.
It’s almost certainly not as high as that in the UK.
The new daily allowance for peers in the House of Lords is £323.
£300 million could put 10,000 police officers on the streets.
Probably not. There aren’t published estimates for the cost of training and recruiting police officers and Labour hasn’t substantiated its claim publicly. £300 million would cover those officers’ salaries for one year, but it wouldn’t cover the costs of training, equipment, and overheads at the same time.
The ONS have estimated that the restrictions across 2020 will have resulted in 200,000 non-Covid excess deaths.
The ONS and other public bodies estimated there may be 12,500 non-Covid early deaths due to delays in treatment in the long term. The 200,000 figure was from an earlier estimate.
These images of text messages claiming to be from Royal Mail, asking for a payment to deliver a parcel, seem to be scams.
Images of text messages asking for a payment to deliver a parcel have been shared on social media.
The messages are almost certainly scams.
Conservative councils save families around £100 a year more than Labour and Liberal Democrat councils.
The Conservatives’ claim they charge less council tax than Labour is pretty meaningless. It’s based on a flawed method.
The method the Conservatives have used to make their comparison is flawed in several ways and therefore pretty meaningless.
Pets must be walked alone within 50m of your house.
This isn’t true. You can go further away from your house and walk them with members of your household as part of your daily exercise.
Recent flooding would have been prevented by dredging.
This is incorrect. Experts say dredging is part of flooding prevention, but only one part, and would not have prevented the recent floods.
The number of people being taken to police cells under mental health legislation has more than halved.
Police cells are being used less often as a ‘place of safety’ under the Mental Health Act.
Correct. This continues a falling trend over several years.
Mercury (aka thimerosal or thiomersal) is in vaccines and can damage brain, gut, liver, bone marrow, nervous system and kidneys, is linked to autoimmune disorder, autism.
Thiomersal isn’t in any UK vaccines any more. This is down to concern around a slightly different mercury-based chemical.
There is lots of evidence that proves this is wrong.
No vaccine has been tested to see if it causes cancer.
In the UK, all vaccines have to undergo a number of trials, usually over a period of years, to check if they cause any side effects.
Scotland doesn’t have the power to recognise countries.
Foreign affairs are a reserved matter so the Scottish government has no legal power to recognise Catalan independence.
Correct, foreign affairs are a reserved matter.
We have a trade deficit in the region of 65 to 70 billion annually with the EU.
The trade deficit with the EU was about £80 billion in the year to June 2017.
74 people a day were stopped from entering the UK illegally between 2010 and 2015.
75 attempts a day were prevented on average, but that doesn’t mean 75 individual people.
If the UK leaves the EU, France and Germany’s economies will collapse.
There is no evidence that this would be the case.
The draft law that will start the process of leaving the EU has 133 words. The law enabling women to become MPs only has 70.
What does the law on triggering Brexit have in common with the law enabling women to sit in parliament?
Close: the 1918 law on women MPs had 95 words. The general point that the length of a law has nothing to do with its importance is correct.
Boris Johnson has never said fears about inflation were “unfounded”.
The Prime Minister denied ever making the comment during the first PMQs of the year.
This is not true. Interview footage shows the Prime Minister saying this in October 2021.
Leaving the customs union and single market will cost every person in Scotland £1,600.
Incorrect. This comes from a dated estimate of how much less Scottish GDP will grow by 2030 in such a scenario, compared to remaining in the EU. It doesn’t represent a cash loss, but is how much smaller Scottish GDP would be per person compared to remaining in the EU.
In children between 12 and 17 that had the Pfizer vaccine, there were 9,246 adverse reactions within a period of a month.
That was how many reports were made up to July 2021, over more than six months, out of 8.9 million children who were vaccinated.
An orange has tested positive for Covid-19 using a lateral flow test.
A post on Facebook claims an orange tested positive for coronavirus using a lateral flow test.
This is not accurate. The fruit appears to have broken the test, making it appear like a positive result. Lateral flow tests rarely give false positives, and are more likely to give false negatives.
Unapproved vaccine trials don’t end until 2023.
The Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccine trials have an estimated completion date of April 2023, in order to take into account samples from participants collected up to two years after their final vaccine. This doesn’t mean they are unsafe for use now.
Anyone in Manchester with blood group O negative should go to the Royal Infirmary as they have run out of blood.
NHS Blood and Transplant have said that the post asking for donors in Manchester is fake.
Men may be taken to court and face serious sentences if they whistle at a woman and she calls the police, if proposals to count misogyny as a hate crime go ahead.
Wolf whistling is unlikely to result in a prison sentence, even if misogyny is upgraded to a hate crime.
Even if rules do change on categorising hate crimes, wolf whistling in isolation would likely be classified as a hate incident, rather than crime, as it is not illegal. So wolf whistling alone is unlikely to result in prosecution.
On 9/11 the World Trade Center Building 7 collapsed for no apparent reason.
A nearby building did collapse on 9/11 despite not being hit by a plane, due to a complex process of structural failures caused by fire.
Years of investigation have concluded that the building collapsed because of fires ignited by debris falling from the North Tower’s collapse.
MPs cannot claim expenses for alcohol but can drink in parliamentary bars and restaurants which are effectively subsidised with public money.
