  • Living standards pledge, National Insurance and plane crash image - Round up of fact checks from the last week compiled by Full Fact.

The article from MSN discusses several key points related to UK politics and public statements. It addresses Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's claim about improving living standards, which has been met with skepticism due to economic indicators like inflation and wage growth not supporting this assertion. The article also fact-checks the government's claim that the average worker will save £900 a year due to National Insurance cuts, clarifying that this figure is based on specific assumptions and not universally applicable. Additionally, it debunks a misleading image circulating on social media suggesting a plane crash in the UK, revealing it to be an old image from a crash in Russia. The piece emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing political claims and media for accuracy.
