Any regrets or even an apology from @RossjournoClark considering it was his article and use of #FakeStatoGuy's fake chart that caused all this?
Thought not...
Parliament should champion honesty by owning up to mistakes.
MPs often talk about rebuilding trust in politics. This is an easy way to show they mean it.

@AThankless @pj_montgomery @jneill@FullFact@RossjournoClark@DailyMailUK@Stat_O_Guy FakeStatOGuy is a civil servant who freelanced that graph for the Daily Fail
I'm assuming one of the two journos who put their name to the story saw FakeStatOGuy's graph on social media & thought it would be a good graph to include in their story as "evidence"
We're pleased that the Daily Mail have issued a correction in the print edition of today's paper.
