A quote supposedly from an email sent by Hillary Clinton saying “we’re all going to hang from nooses” if Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election has been shared online. But there’s no evidence this is real and it has been widely debunked. fullfact.org/us/debunked-qu…
Viral posts have claimed that David Lammy said people are £6,000 better off since Labour was elected. But Full Fact could find no record of him ever saying this, whether in Parliament or to the media. fullfact.org/politics/unevi…
The government has scrapped the third reading of the so-called Hillsborough Law bill after campaigners and some Labour MPs criticised a government amendment to the legislation. As a result we’re no longer rating this pledge as “appears on track”. fullfact.org/government-tra…

Disputes about the size of the crowd at major demonstrations are common and highlight the challenges in assessing crowd sizes accurately. Physical limits on how many people can occupy a space mean vast crowds often involve fewer people than you might…
A video showing people tearing down a poster of Nicolás Maduro has been shared with captions suggesting the footage was filmed after the Venezuelan leader was seized by the US. But this video is actually from 2024, after the disputed presidential election.…
Posts claiming to show doctors from @GSTTnhs applying patches and losing weight aren’t real and have been made with AI. The trust said they are “completely fraudulent”. fullfact.org/health/fake-do…
Posts shared on Facebook incorrectly claim former Prime Minister Liz Truss is entitled to a £125,000 per year “ex PM pension for life”. Former prime ministers can claim up to £115,000 a year for certain expenses, but this isn’t a pension. fullfact.org/politics/liz-t…
A viral comparison of the government support received by pensioners compared to “illegal immigrants” and refugees is doing the rounds once again on social media. The figures in the post are still wrong. fullfact.org/immigration/pe…

The government has changed proposals for a new Digital ID scheme which was originally set to be mandatory for Right to Work checks in the UK, less than four months after the policy was announced. We’ve updated our Government Tracker accordingly 👇 fullfact.org/government-tra…
We’re grateful to @SkyNews for correcting an article repeating a claim that the government has said it’s halved the number of asylum hotels since it came to power. Read more here 👇 fullfact.org/immigration/sk…
It’s been widely reported the government has “U-turned” on its plans for mandatory digital ID for Right to Work checks—yet ministers insist there still will be mandatory digital checks. So what’s going on? Our explainer unpacks what’s changed 👇 fullfact.org/technology/dig…
Thanks to @Guardian, @BBCNews and @Telegraph for amending their reports saying research showed screen time damages toddlers’ language skills. (The study showed a correlation between screen time and smaller vocabulary, but not that one *caused* the other.)…
A video of a woman burning a portrait of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has been shared with claims it was filmed in Iran, amid a deadly crackdown on protests in the country. But this particular video was actually filmed in Canada. fullfact.org/conflict/woman…
A video of people throwing flaming projectiles has been shared with claims it shows the recent anti-government protests in Iran. Although there is genuine footage of Iran circulating, this clip actually shows clashes in Greece following a rap concert in November.…
A video shared online with captions claiming it shows an asylum seeker giving a tour of their home after being removed from a migrant hotel is misleading. The clip was actually filmed by a property investor to market a house which is up for sale. fullfact.org/immigration/mi…
