Thanks to you, together, we've made double the difference. 💰Over £33,000,000 raised! 💗94,000+ donations 🎅31 fantastic Big Give Champion partners helping to double donations 🎄795 charities reached their fundraising target, with many very close. 🔗bit.ly/CC23Double #Magic
Who is ready for day 2 of #ChristmasChallenge?! Yesterday, #GivingTuesday, got off to a flier... £8.5m - the MOST we've ever raised in one day! 24k lovely people have already donated. Why not join them and make *double the difference* this Christmas? bit.ly/CC23Double
📢Step right up and witness the magic! Our elf friends are making a huge impact by doubling their donations to the causes they care about. And you can be a part of it too. Whatever your cause, whatever your your passion, visit bit.ly/CC23Double today. #ChristmasChallenge
Mark your calendars for Big Give's #ChristmasChallenge and experience the magic! From 28th November to 5th December, donate to a charity of your choice, and we'll double your donation. Now witness the wonder of the Big Give Doubler machine in action: bit.ly/CC23Double🎄
🗣️ Rishi Sunak's been setting out his stall as we head into party conference season. 👉 Our recent report with @FullFact details the UK's policy challenges, with contributions on net zero, education, growth and more. 🤓 Perfect weekend reading... ukandeu.ac.uk/research-paper…
Huge credit to @FullFact, who have been calling for improvements to the system for some time.
Lovely evening where we present @FullFact with the @BritishAcademy_ President’s Medal and now will hear from the team about their work at our public event
UK vaccine uptake is falling. Misinformation is rife. It's right internet companies take action. That's why I am introducing tomorrow a requirement on Tech Co's to publish health misinformation policies. Thanks for huge display of support from health leaders. #HealthyBritain
@FullFact thank you- i agree with your findings.
In 2020-21 (21-22 data not yet published): • Test and Trace spent £13.6bn (less than its £22.2bn budget) • £10.4bn of that spending was on testing (75%) • The app cost £35mn (less than half of what was budgeted for it) nao.org.uk/wp-content/upl… via @FullFact and @NAOorguk
Fyi, this is out by *check notes* approximately £37 billion. As you can easily verify (eg via @FullFact) the UK government only spent £35 million (yes, million) on the T&T app.
Everyone laughs at Elon Musk (rightly) for spending $44bn on Twitter. But our government spent the same amount (£37bn) on a useless Track And Trace app and now has nothing at all to show for it. They could have bought Twitter and its staff would’ve built the thing in about a week
We're thrilled to award the British Academy's 2022 President’s Medal to @FullFact, in recognition of the team’s vital work combating misinformation and disinformation. This is the first time the prestigious accolade has been presented to an organisation: thebritishacademy.ac.uk/news/full-fact…
I've committed money to enable your contribution to @FullFact to be doubled so make sure I have to pay up.
Happy #GivingTuesday! For Brits, reminder that the Big Give is live (from today?), doubling donations to some charities. I'll be giving to @FullFact, the UK's indep fact-checking #charity - b/c BS in public life is insidious and dangerous: live.fullfact.org/get-involved/b… #philanthropy
Brilliant session this morning with @FullFact, as part of our training with @Media_Trust, on how to use data well, how to challenge misinformation and the persuasiveness of listening. So important for our storytelling work, esp giving the hostility towards people seeking asylum.
Dear @FullFact please do a fact-check on the "£115k a year for life" misapprehension doing the rounds so that I can share it with the endless procession of people who think it's free money for Truss. Thank you.
Today we'll be hearing from @aliceolilly @instituteforgov and @puzzlesthewill @FullFact on: ✅ Correcting the @HouseofCommons record ✅ Challenging the accuracy of contributions ✅ Potential changes to the corrections system 📺Watch the session here: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/03…
