If your sticker is in this image, congratulations. Your work was *checks notes* featured on TV in Singapore over the weekend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=svGz... (about 6mins in)

Our Full Fact wrap on the by-election landscape. I think it is safe to say, room to improve for everyone involved.

MCP for gov data, when? modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/learn/a...

So let's take it back to the old skool sheets Original beats with real live CSVs

I have written a post about the magic of collaboration amongst fact checkers and why Fundación Maldita.es and @fullfact.org are stepping up and making sure vital bits of our data infrastructure can keep running

Very excited to see this out in the world (I made the smallest of small contributions to it, but it is exactly the kind of work we should be thinking about when it comes to trust and AI)

A really interesting chat between @eliothiggins.bsky.social and @cward1e.bsky.social. This broad narrative of debunking and fact checking not being effective that sometimes creeps through is frustrating and I am thankful to Claire for talking about @fullfact.org and how our work is always evolving

It feels like it has been a moment since we have had a 'figures as percentages that are actually percentage point changes' and to do so with a bar chart? Very old skool.

'Our list of addresses of houses is our IP because *reasons* so you better have not copied it when making your other list of addresses you needed to to collect to do your job' It is just ridiculous Owen is a hero.

This line is going to keep on going up and to the right and we should all be pretty worried for that means for how we build trust in anything published online edmo.eu/publications...

The tour de france is coming to Wales. It is coming to *Cardiff* Hold me.

Happy 25th birthday Wikipedia, you beautiful thing. store.wikimedia.org/products/car...

Little act of joy in a pretty dark January. I have booked a ticket to Interesting

Would love to see some fact checkers featuring here.

It is me! Andy Dudfield from @fullfact.org , talking about AI. Register to hear what I and others have to say about this.

We scored a goal (Humbling, but incredibly fun afternoon out)

I'm too out on the loop on gov stuff to know anything about the vibes, but Head of Product for data.gov.uk should be an absolutely fantastic job. Open the data, save the world (and AI) stuff www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/jobs.cgi...

To avoid the appearance of click bait …I think they are THREATS but would be very pleased to be proven wrong. Happy to hear countervailing arguments

As flagged by @fullfact.org, there's an ENTIRELY AI-GENERATED video of a fake UK politician in the House of Commons doing the rounds on TikTok It has more than 5 million views While the original video is flagged as AI, it has been reposted by many other accounts (where it is not labelled as AI)

I'm part of the news cycle now? www.theguardian.com/football/202...

A nice thing happened that gave me a chance to crowbar in the my bloody factsentine pun in that's never made it to @fullfact.org main

Wikipedia, incredible as ever at a breaking news moment. Just slowing things down a touch and acknowledging why. Also, that might be the longest controversy section I have ever seen

Thank you @openuk.bsky.social

Teams on Only Connect who let someone other than the captain choose the next question should be banned.

Visited East Devons newest attraction

So great to see this happening

So we now have BBC Verify, AP Verify and AFP WeVerify doing similar but different things. Naming things is hard

The idea that my working for a Fact Checker is somehow a radical move is still not something I have gotten used to, but increasingly it is seen that way. Good stuff from James here.

Civic tech gang. Anyone doing anything interesting around the Scottish and Welsh elections next year? Wanna chat?

This feels significant

This is good stuff. Based on my own experience building these kinds of things at Full Fact I would suggest that an almost naive conflation of multiple social media sources (and reddit) are now more likely challenges than old fashion ungrounded hallucinations

We've been tracking this one for a while. Great write up of a recent @fullfact.org deep dive

Redditors: get your questions in nice and early! We're doing an AMA on r/ukpolitics, and we're happy to answer whatever's on your mind about TheyWorkForYou: www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics... #politics #TheyWorkForYou #UKpolitics #parliament #civictech

day 1 at @fullfact.org v day 2372 (today) Please consider making a donation to our funding campaign if you are able. Your money will be doubled if you do so this week and I am so very very tired donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

Good to see the British Library recruiting for a Head of AI and Policy (and Windows 12) www.artsjobs.org.uk/jobs/search/...

Forget hope, it's time to book the open top bus

Went for a wander in the snow to take in the astonishing Albert Street in Riga. So much Art Nouveau in such a tiny space.

It’s not every day the Deputy Prime Minister corrects the parliamentary record after a fact check. So this is great to see... Full details here: fullfact.org/live/2025/no...

Exciting news! 🎉 Applications are now open for a new edition of the #JournalismAI Innovation Challenge, supported by the Google News Initiative. Follow this thread to learn more 👇

The Times here, getting my name wrong, but not my thoughts on online information www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog...

Despite shifting politics and declining support for the industry, Dudfield said the goal hasn’t changed. “We’re fact-checkers. We check facts,”

"It doesn’t display the same transparency but it is asking for the same trust " Grateful for the chance to comment on the difference between Grok and @wikipedia.org in The Guardian today

This is my current go to example of what my job is It appears that Russia is using a poor quality fake of the (fame wise) mid level UK comedian Geoff Norcott to try and destabilise Armenia. Why? How? To be seen by whom? It is a never ending journey

Facts have been checked.

I am putting some vision language models through some tests. So I am now looking for examples of vertical video (insta, tiktok, shorts) where the meaning of the video is implied via mime but not said out loud or via text on screen. Send em my way if you have ideas

It is the hope that gets you. Every time

I really enjoy this Wales as a tube map vibe, but it necessarily does some absolutely wild things to Welsh geography livemap.tfw.wales#/aw_en/mapview

This is *so* very interesting. The kind of media we monitor at @fullfact.org continues to see these kind of patterns and it is not just the most famous people that are being faked at the moment
