With summer here, more claims about the supposed risks of sunglasses are circulating on social media. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: there’s no evidence that sunglasses cause skin cancer—no matter what you may see on Instagram.

A video compilation of fireworks is circulating online with claims it shows celebrations in Tehran after the ceasefire deal with Israel. But most of the clips come from Japan three years ago.

Images of a girl peering through a gap have been shared online with a Palestinian flag emoji, and the suggestion she is in distress. But they actually show a playing child looking through a hole in a wall, and there’s no evidence they were taken in Gaza.

Labour’s manifesto promised to create a new “Ethics and Integrity Commission” to “ensure probity in government”. But some MPs have said they are “yet to see much evidence” of progress on this pledge. Our Government Tracker takes a look 👇

Here's our tracker, if you fancy giving it a read:

"For the best examination of how well or badly Labour’s first year has really gone, look at Full Fact’s thorough analysis of 62 manifesto pledges". Grateful for the mention of our Government Tracker by @pollytoynbee in the Guardian:

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our former trustee, Lord David Lipsey. He was a hugely valued member of the Full Fact family. Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this time.

At #PMQs yesterday, @Keir_Starmer was pressed on when the government would introduce a ‘Hillsborough Law’, as promised in Labour’s 2024 election manifesto. We’ve updated our Government Tracker with the latest details👇

Keir Starmer said trust in politics would be rebuilt “by actions, not words.” One year on, we’re still waiting. Here’s our verdict on Labour’s first year:

Before the announcement of the NHS 10 Year Health Plan, we’ve looked at the data on one of the issues at stake—how many new entrants to medical school are ‘working class’.

Keir Starmer said trust in politics would be rebuilt “by actions, not words.”. One year on, we’re still waiting. Here’s our verdict on Labour’s first year:.

At #PMQs today, @Keir_Starmer said: “I am proud that this Labour government has delivered four million extra [NHS] appointments.”. This is true, though last year’s rise was larger, at around five million. We’ve written more about this here 👇.

At #PMQs @Keir_Starmer said Labour “promised free breakfast clubs… a promise delivered”. Our Government Tracker’s currently rating the pledge of free breakfast clubs in every primary school in England as “In progress”, as the roll-out is ongoing.

A video is being shared online with claims it shows Iran’s recent attack on a US airbase in Qatar. But the video isn’t real, and has been generated using artificial intelligence.

We’ve seen another video circulating on social media with claims it shows the “last moment” inside the Air India plane that crashed earlier this month. But this video is old. It dates back to at least March 2020.

Dozens of Labour MPs are reportedly threatening to vote against the government’s welfare bill this evening. But what happens if a bill fails to pass its second reading? And when was a government bill last defeated at this stage? We take a look. 👇

@StatsRegulation @DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland After we submitted an FOI request, the data was eventually published. Now the OSR has written publicly to DHSC and NHS England, encouraging them to “ensure that no further communications of data on the NHS app are released publicly which do not follow the principles of.

We raised concerns—now the UK’s stats watchdog agrees. @StatsRegulation says @DHSCgovuk & @NHSEngland broke transparency rules by publishing NHS app press releases without data to back them up.

A video of an Air India crew boarding a plane has been shared online with the suggestion it shows those who died boarding the plane that crashed on 12 June. But this video was actually uploaded to Instagram three days before the disaster.

An image of police officers supposedly kneeling in front of a group of Muslims is being widely shared on social media again. It’s still fake (and was probably created using AI).
