@ITVNewsPolitics A vote baiting policy that won't raise any more money but will appeal to some gullible people. Populist politics.

@RoryStewartUK listening to the podcast from yesterday. Prestwick airport was not used as a stopping point for F35s and A10s. Need to fact check the newspaper report.

@ClarksonsFarm1 Unpopular choice on here but Labour, the country is lurching right with populist lies, I'll never put my vote anywhere near divisive politics.

@rkidrkid82 @Babs_SP @UtdDistrict I'm using Bruno as a benchmark of what I'd expect of a highly paid professional. Quality of attitude, commitment and standards under the same conditions Rashford is using as an excuse for under performing.

#FullFact real-time Government Tracker updated today.
It now shows Labour delivered (or are on track to deliver) 57 of 83 Election pledges.
This is an extraordinary achievement in just 15 months in power.
The Tories managed just 3 (one partially) in 5yrs

I'm absolutely sick of the media's "it's all about the boats" narrative. It's creating division by mis information and pandering to right wing manipulation. Where's the humanity gone?

What a huge win that is for Amorim. Never a 2nd booking for Casemiro. Should have been a stress free 3pts. #MUFC

@RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury Is my reward going to be paying more tax in the upcoming budget?

Ooopsss… Mr.@Nigel_Farage himself has just challenged me on the facts!

What an honor — for a “giant man,” as he described me (meaning, of course, from a “tiny country”) — to earn the attention of Britain’s unrivaled virtuoso of headline politics.

He said — and I quote:
“I tell you what, Mr. Rama, did you know one in 50 Albanians in Britain are in prison? So show some goodwill and take them all back tomorrow, because this is hypocrisy.”

Well, Mr. Farage — let me return the challenge with something unusually boring in your line of work: actual numbers.

That “one in 50 Albanians are in prison” claim? It’s not a fact. It’s bonkers. A classic from the post-truth Brexit playbook: “If it sounds scary, it must be true.”

Guess what? When the numbers are actually run — surprise! — even if we assumed every Albanian currently in prison is guilty (and in fact, many are caught up in an outdated and restrictive visa system), the rate of criminality among Albanians in the UK would be no higher than — and likely lower than — that of the British population itself.

Now, since we both seem to cherish “goodwill” and are clearly allergic to “hypocrisy,” here’s my offer:

Let’s both bring our numbers to the table. If your “one in 50” claim holds water — I will personally commit to taking them all back. That’s not a competing headline — it’s a public pledge.

But if your scary stat turns out to be just tabloid fuel, then no apology needed. No drama. Instead, you’ll come to Albania — as my guest of honor.

You’ll get real sun, real hospitality, and even more real facts — about Albania and its fabulous people. And all I ask in return is the simplest public pledge from you, made while enjoying our country: next time someone badmouths Albanians, you’ll be the first to tell them — in your histrionic way — not to do it again.

So what do you say? One fact-check for a full deportation — or a full vacation, with some of the warmest people you’ll ever meet.

Come on, Nigel. If you lose on a fact check, you’ll still win a whole nation of friends for life.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
