Chatgpt is equally at home with screwing around with borders and names.
I asked it to "Generate a map of the United Kingdom with all the counties named" 🤣

I’m very pleased that Jonathan Gullis has joined Reform – we need more conviction politicians with strongly held principles. In other news, here he is explaining why there is absolutely no chance he would ever defect to Reform.

Mason on BBC news still trying to justify his claim about lies. No reference to actual policies. Prick!

The measures offered to call off the strikes also included measures to tackle the issues about overseas recruitment pushing out UK-trained doctors.
Pretty much EVERY issue other than more pay was offered up to resident doctors.

Before the last doctor strikes Wes Streeting offered a whole range of improvement measures to resident doctors, including more training places, covering costs of exams and better rotas.
But the BMA rejected it, focusing only on pay.

“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?”
Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth.
Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.

People still claim Labour do nothing to help our armed forces & veterans.
But that is not true.
