Following Iran’s attack on Israel with drones and missiles on 13 April, we’ve analysed some of the footage we've seen circulating online which has been claiming to show what happened.

Big win here for Full Fact👇, with the introduction of improvements to the parliamentary corrections system to enable MPs to correct the official record.

Now looking forward to seeing MPs use it…

Contrary to what BBC Breakfast reported last week, there weren’t 620,000 more people waiting for NHS care in January compared to when Rishi Sunak became PM.

Ten years to the week since I was a medical journalist, but great to be part of the Medical Journalists' Association’s #mjasymposium today, to talk about Full Fact’s health work (and catch up with a few old colleagues)

Very late to mention this but delighted to have Sian on board as the newest member of the Full Fact team...

You may have seen reports of a fall in the NHS England waiting list today.

While that’s technically true, the total was actually broadly flat when you account for a slight change in the system this month. We explain 👇

Contrary to claims on social media, Transport for London is not legally prevented from removing bat boxes installed on cameras which enforce London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone.

“It’s a passable Eurovision song about Doctor Who persuading the Daleks to reform their electoral system to use Proportional Representation”

Fascinating piece here on what generative AI means for music…

We’ve looked at a Conservative claim that London mayor Sadiq Khan is “planning to introduce a pay-per-mile scheme”.

An image being shared supposedly shows Benjamin Netanyahu on a ventilator in a hospital bed.

But the picture seems to be AI-generated.

Interesting speculative counterpoint here to the many speculative pieces on AI’s potential…

One of the 21 is Full Fact - we're building a generative AI tool to analyze and summarize large volumes of health misinformation across various media, reducing fact checkers’ workload.

Lots of claims on social media about footage showing an “alternate angle” of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore.

The video in question actually shows an explosion on Kerch bridge between Crimea and Russia in 2022...

At last week’s #PMQs , Rishi Sunak claimed the government had “deported 24,000 illegal migrants”.

Yesterday, health minister Andrea Leadsom told Sky News that junior doctors have had a “more than a 10% pay rise”.

That's not true of most junior doctors in England last year, however, and the DHSC now says Ms Leadsom misspoke.

That’s not quite right. The latest NHS England data shows about 6.3 million people are waiting for 7.6 million courses of treatment. buff.ly/3IJjgOa [1/2]
