A viral clip is an edited version of a real Barack Obama speech to make it look like he said ordinary people “are too small-minded to govern their own affairs”.

He was actually speaking about an alternative vision of power threatening democratic ideals.

Gove’s former girlfriend Lola Salem being an accused nonce is getting barely any coverage. If only she was a kind autistic black man who hadn’t committed any crimes or shagged an ex Tory minister.

Then it’d be fucking everywhere.

A video supposedly showing a BBC News report linking an Indian passenger to an attack on a Flydubai flight where a pilot was stabbed is a deepfake.

Nigel Farage and his lickspittles: It's outrageous that Burnham won't guarantee the pension triple lock past 2030

Normal people: So do Reform guarantee to keep the pension triple lock past 2030 in the unlikely event you're in government?

Nigel Farage and his lickspittles: No

A video being shared online supposedly shows an “asylum seeker” saying he wants “more money and more freedom”, and isn’t happy with how he’s being treated in the UK.

But the clip is AI-generated.

Viral posts claim Japan has passed ‘anti-Islam laws’ banning halal food, mosques, burqas and prayer calls.

This is false. Japan's constitution guarantees religious freedom.

We’ve seen posts online claiming that former Makerfield MP Josh Simons has been appointed as head of No 10’s policy unit.

This isn’t correct, though Mr Simons was linked to the role in some media reports earlier in the summer.

Energy bills are out of control. Meanwhile, banks are making huge windfall profits and paying bumper bonuses
Can you join me & sign this petition calling on the chancellor to introduce a windfall tax on bank profits to cut energy bills? https://t.co/3ohE8XeqqR via @megaphoneuk

Where’s the money gone, Tommy? A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation made with HOPE not hate has raised serious questions about Stephen Lennon’s finances. I’ve added my name calling for a full investigation. Will you? https://t.co/iGZ2tYJjMX

Jailed for inciting arson on children

Jailed for lots of violent crimes

Jailed for kidnap and carrying a knife and then filming himself committing criminal damage.

I fixed it for you because you seem to be talking out your arse.

Don’t worry, I don’t mind.

A post claiming migrants crossing the Channel who are rescued by the RNLI or Border Force automatically become refugees has been shared over a thousand times on Facebook.

But this isn’t true. Refugee status is only granted after a successful asylum claim.

Many social media users appear to have been fooled by a fake picture that supposedly shows four teachers protesting against the removal of pride flags from their classrooms.

A video of protests in Greece has been shared on Facebook with the claim that the country “is at a standstill”.

But the clip is actually from February 2025 - it shows a demonstration marking the anniversary of a rail disaster.

On his GB News show Nigel Farage claimed threshold freezes are “dragging about nine million pensioners into taxation”.

In fact, the OBR estimates the actual number of pensioners who will be brought into paying income tax because of the freezes is much lower.

Just two weeks ago, female activists were assaulted at Reform’s conference, the right celebrated it, with Rob Jenrick saying, “boohoo”.

Now a campaigner spills his own coffee, and suddenly they're demanding the “full force of the law”.

The double standard is
fucking staggering.

[Full Fact @FullFact]

Reform UK’s @ZiaYusufUK claimed the UK’s foreign-born population in 2024 was “up 143% in a decade”.

This is incorrect - estimates suggest the increase over a decade was much less. His figure may refer to an estimate of the increase over 20 years instead.
