- Boris Johnson told #PMQs today that staying in the European Medicines Agency would have made the UK vaccine rollout "impossible". In fact, Britain was still bound by EMA rules when the Covid vaccination programme began. (@FactCheck thread)
- Boris Johnson said the government sent four new mobile testing units to Leicester 'shortly' after 8 June. @FactCheck understands that it was ten days after that date before the first new centre was opened - and 21 days before four had been added.
- Keir Starmer said today that 'we haven’t had economic growth for 12 years.' But this is incorrect: the UK economy has grown every year since 2010, except for one.
- Conservative chairman Brandon Lewis tweeted that more young people are joining the party and “a record number of under-25s” went to this year’s conference. @FactCheck asked the Conservatives to show us the figures behind those claims. They declined.
- The government failed to follow its own transparency guidelines over 200 times on PPE contracts worth nearly £6bn in total, @FactCheck can reveal. Read the full analysis:
- Replying to @FactCheck
- NEW: Boris Johnson said this morning that Labour would hike corporation tax to the 'highest levels in Europe' — but he's wrong. Read the full @FactCheck analysis here:
- Let’s be clear: Matt Hancock's target was not to increase "capacity" to 100,000 #COVID19 tests a day, it was to actually do those tests.
- Ten years ago, England’s NHS was better than Scotland and Wales when it came to the percentage of A&E patients seen within four hours. New analysis shows it’s now the worst of the three - while Scotland performs best. @C4Ciaran explains.
- Challenged on the Covid crisis in social care, Matt Hancock said “we did not have” a list of all elderly care homes early on. But as @FactCheck has found, there is a list and it seems to have been online throughout the pandemic. Read the full analysis: channel4.com/news/factcheck…
- The Conservatives’ Chris Philp told the #c4debate that England and Wales now has more police officers than in 2010. For context, our @FactCheck analysis finds that we have fewer officers per head of population than in 2009.
