We're grateful that last week MP Chris Bryant corrected a false claim he made on Twitter. Sadly, this is rare from a politician. Here is a list of MPs who have still not corrected false/misleading claims they’ve made. This is just from our fact checks in 2022 alone 👇

A recent Spectator article claimed a man was recently jailed after “continuously staring” at a woman on a train. But this account of the incident doesn’t tell the whole story. fullfact.org/crime/spectato…

£2500 is *not* the maximum any family will pay on their energy bills this year. We wrote to the PM about getting this wrong yesterday. This morning, she’s repeated the false claim again in local BBC interviews. The public deserves better. fullfact.org/economy/Truss-…

Why are we “obsessed” with what MPs say in the House of Commons? Because they run the country! They should be honest. Help us fix the broken corrections system 👇 ✍️ actions.fullfact.org/petitions/mps-…

Rishi Sunak claimed during his first #PMQs that a “record number” of new homes were built in the last year. But we’ve not found any figures to support this claim in the official statistics.

At his first PMQs Rishi Sunak claimed there were a "record number of new homes built in the last year". I spent days looking for evidence this was true, but couldn't find anything. Despite multiple requests, Downing Street couldn't back it up either. fullfact.org/economy/rishi-…

❌ “mRNA vaccines are not recommended for pregnant women or those who are breastfeeding” - Andrew Bridgen MP at #PMQs This is not true. The Covid vaccines Mr Bridgen is referring to *are* recommended during (and after) pregnancy. fullfact.org/health/pregnan…

loved speaking to Bryony for this - so nice to briefly step away from the chaos of day-to-day researching and writing and have time to think about fact checking as a whole
