Look, the internet is a bit of a mess. Our job is to act as a filter. We subject the viral rumours, “miracle” health hacks and dubious political claims circulating in the UK to a microscope. We’re not here to tell you how to think—we're just here to show you the data so you can make up your own mind.

We don't just guess. We “receipts” check every story we publish. And that means we go to the primary source (NHS clinical trials, ONS spreadsheets or Companies House, for example). If we don’t have a solid, verifiable trail of evidence, we’re not going to tell you it’s a fact. It’s that simple.

Honestly? No. Facts don't have a voting record. Whether it's a claim from the left, the right, or somewhere in the middle, if the numbers don't add up, we’ll say so. Our goal is to be a neutral witness to the chaos of the 2026 news cycle. We’ve got no skin in the game other than wanting the truth to be out there.

Please do. We can’t be everywhere at once. If you’ve seen something in a WhatsApp group or on your feed that looks a bit 'fishy,' head over to our Submit page and send us a note. Your tip-off might just become our next deep dive.

Keeping the lights on costs money, and we refuse to be beholden to big corporate sponsors who might want to 'edit' our findings. Our members are the ones who keep us independent. By joining, you’re basically making sure that honest, grit-filled journalism stays alive in Britain. Plus, you get a cleaner, ad-free experience. Fair trade, right?

Absolutely not. You can get 'AI slop' anywhere else on the web for free. Our readers come to us for human voices, human investigation, and human logic. Every word on this site is written, checked, and double-checked by real people who actually care about the subject matter.

We’re human. Sometimes we might get a date wrong or misinterpret a complex bit of tax law. If you spot a blunder, don't just stew over it—email us. We have a transparent corrections policy. If we’ve made a mess of it, we’ll fix it, and we’ll add a note explaining exactly what changed.

Look, it’s a bit of a juggle. We’re not going to be able to fact-check every single weird post on the internet — we just don’t have enough hours in the day. Generally, we tend to be the stuff that is really causing a little chaos. What goes to the top of our list is whether a “new tax” rumour is causing panic about everyone’s heating bills or whether a health myth is plainly dangerous. We’re searching for things that are going viral but haven’t broken through in the mainstream press yet. Basically, if it’s scaring people or costing them money, we’re on it.

We’re human. We try our best, but if we’ve misread a graph or missed a bit of context, we won't just delete the post and pretend it never happened. That’s what the dodgy sites do. Instead, we’ll update the piece, slap a big 'Correction' notice right at the top, and explain exactly what we got wrong. Simple as that. Transparency is the only way this works, otherwise, why should you trust us?

This is the big one everyone asks, and rightly so. We’re funded through a mix of member subscriptions and a bit of ad revenue. We don’t take money from political parties, and there’s no 'secret billionaire' pulling the strings in the background. If we ever take a grant for a specific project, we’ll tell you right at the top of the page. No hidden agendas here—we’ve got nothing to hide.

No way. We’ve seen what happens if you let a bot do the thinking, and it just makes stuff up with a straight face. We may employ rudimentary tools to help us comb through thousands of tweets and see what’s trending, sure, but the real sleuthing, the phone calls and final writing? That’s all you’re doing by real people.” You cannot automate the truth.

Please do! Honestly, that’s why we’re here. We want the truth to spread much further than the lies. All we ask is that you link back to the original article so people can see the evidence for themselves. Just don't go twisting our words to fit a different narrative—that would be a bit ironic, wouldn't it?

If you can write well and you’ve got a passion for digging up the truth, then yes. Check out our Contributor Guidelines. But fair warning: we have very high standards for evidence. We don't want 'opinions'; we want proof.
