This is a thread about fact checking.
It's a list. Nothing more.
Some of the tweets you see are so bonkers it's hard to understand them, let alone argue them. But do bonk with confidence and these sites will help, but use more than one as some of these sites also have some bias.
Russia’s increasingly aggressive rhetoric toward the Baltic states is a sign of deepening desperation. Unable to defend critical infrastructure deep inside its own territory from Ukrainian strikes, Moscow is now trying to raise tensions elsewhere in the hope that the West itself would pressure Ukraine into stopping attacks that work.
We will not fall for it.
@ralakbar US does NOT approve the sale.
US approved a determination for a possible sale.
So not a sale, not a possible sale, just we decided that a possible sale is a good idea.
And it's not the US who will pay for it.
Until now, Vladimir Putin’s government is thought to have provided intelligence that enabled Iran to target American forces in the Middle East. Our exclusive reporting shows it also offered to send fibre-optic drones of the sort used in the Ukraine war https://t.co/rYewBXTSpE
🚨 #Alumina21 is picking up serious political firepower!
Key politicians now backing the campaign to ban alumina exports to Russia in the EU’s 21st sanctions package:
• EP Vice President Pina Picierno (Italy) — submitted formal questions to the European Commission
• Polish MEP Arek Mularczyk — joined the campaign & fired questions straight at the Commission on Aughinish exports
• Swedish MEP Sofie Eriksson — confirmed her office is sending questions to the Commission
• EP Vice President Martin Hojsik (Slovakia) — personally confirmed he’ll push hard for the ban
• Irish Senator Tom Clonan — raised the issue in the Irish Parliament with a full breakdown of how Irish alumina fuels Putin’s drones
The loophole is closing. Momentum is real.

Tag your MEPs. Let’s get it done. #Alumina21 🇪🇺💪🇺🇦
This matters, this isn’t a piece to vilify Palestinian supporters or vindicate Israel. But the actors and characters and funding behind PA hides something much more sinister than Pro Palestinian support. It is heavily funded by Communist and pro russian ideologues who expressly wish to watch the west fall. This isn’t a humanitarian organisation as much as a front, to bring russian rhetoric into the mainstream.
The Nigel Farage Guide to Being a Working-Class Hero
Step 1: Be born to a City stockbroker.
Step 2: Attend Dulwich College, fees currently £53,000 a year.
Step 3: Skip university. Become a City commodities trader instead.
Step 4: Run one of your metal broking firms into insolvency.
Step 5: Get elected to the European Parliament. Spend the next 21 years drawing a salary from the institution you're paid to dismantle.
Step 6: Claim £15,500 a year in expenses for an office your party was given rent-free.
Step 7: Put your wife on the EU parliamentary payroll. Take her off only when the rules force you to.
Step 8: Get investigated by the EU's anti-fraud office. Eventually have half your MEP salary docked to repay misused public funds.
Step 9: Throw a Brexit victory party at the Ritz. Decry the "professional political class" to a room of millionaires.
Step 10: Take £450,000 in personal gifts from Arron Banks. House. Car. Lifestyle.
Step 11: Take £5 million, undisclosed, from a Bangkok-based crypto billionaire. Days later, announce you're standing for parliament after all.
Step 12: Win Clacton. Take the £93,904 MP salary. Add £1.2 million a year from GB News at £2,300 an hour. Become the highest-earning MP in the House of Commons.
Step 13: Speak in parliament fewer times than any other party leader. Fly to America at least nine times in your first year. Refuse to hold in-person constituency surgeries. Holiday in France while parliament is sitting.
Step 14: Tell the working class you're one of them. Tell them to vote against their own interests, over and over again.
Pint, mate?
That's what white phosphorus looks like. It glows orange, produces a lot of smoke, and falls quickly.
Thermite glows bright white, produces almost no visible smoke, and falls much slower, almost like snow.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Russians have used chemical substances against the Ukrainian Armed Forces more than 13,000 times since the start of the large-scale war, — Command of the Support Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Reported figures:
Approximately 400 incidents were recorded in March 2026 alone.
The peak was reached in 2025 – with over 800 incidents per month.
The most frequently used chemical weapons are K-51 and RG-Bo gas grenades, as well as homemade devices containing CS and CN.
The drops are usually carried out from drones targeting Ukrainian Armed Forces positions to force soldiers to abandon their shelters.
Labour says an 11,000-mile round trip on a private jet linked to billionaire donor Christopher Harborne - worth over £195,000 at market rates - was declared at just £25,000.
The Electoral Commission rules say donations must be valued at a "comparable market rate." Should regulators step in?
