š£ CAMPAIGN WIN: Until today, the only people who could correct themselves on the official record of what is said in Parliament were Ministers. Today, MPs voted to change that, so any MP who makes a mistake in Parliament can correct the official record.

This investigation into hoax posts on local Facebook groups has been the result of lots of hard work over many months by the Full Fact team. It's definitely worth a read.
Hoax posts making bogus claims about missing children, lost dogs and escaped snakes are swamping local Facebook groups. Our investigation reveals over 100 communities across the UK have been the victim of hoaxes, and uncovers why theyāre happening.

Ending the year with a big feature. My step dad was put on a ward with someone with Covid-19 in the summer - thankfully he was fine, but it prompted me to look into what we know (and don't!) about the difficult subject of coronavirus transmission in hospitals
Coronavirus transmission in hospitals is difficult to understand and even harder to solve. Full Fact investigates what we already know, what we donātāand what the future might hold https://t.co/xsx2yJalcr

And @JM_OLeary returning to some well-trodden ground by taking a look at the problems with choosing poverty figures and why we all deserve a better debate on the topic š https://t.co/pfWbxPxQbK

Politicians from all sides quote seemingly contradictory poverty figures on a regular basis. This is bad for anyone who wants to understand the story of poverty in the UK.
