How credible is Full Fact?

On questions of credibility it’s important for individuals to go back to the source material and make their minds up for themselves. In the case of Full Fact, you can read their analyses for free, and get a sense from these as to whether you think they’re credible, reliable, and/or have any agenda political or otherwise.

The annual report is particularly useful as a resource demonstrating in one place:

• the cases that get sent in to them, or they pick up for themselves
• the claims they refute/disprove, or clarify & reassert, by checking data
• the conclusions they draw from cases & claims over the course of a year

The 2021 annual report is here; the 2020 annual report is here.
