Independent fact-checking for UK public discourse. We verify political claims, track misinformation, and hold power to account.
We exist to combat misinformation in UK politics, media, and social media by providing fast, evidence-based fact-checking accessible to everyone.
We verify statements from politicians, media figures, and activists in real-time. Every claim is checked against verifiable evidence from official sources.
Our unique ranking system tracks the accuracy of public figures over time, creating accountability through transparent, data-driven analysis.
We investigate misinformation trends, patterns in false claims, and the techniques used to spread misleading information across UK media.
We have no political affiliation. We don't accept funding from political parties, campaigns, or partisan organizations. Our work is guided solely by evidence and facts.
Every fact-check is backed by verifiable sources. We link to official documents, academic research, government data, and other primary sources so you can check our work.
We show our methodology, sources, and reasoning. If we make an error, we correct it immediately and clearly. We're accountable to our readers, not funders or politicians.
Fact-checking should be free and available to everyone. All our content is freely accessible without paywalls. We write in clear language anyone can understand.
Misinformation spreads fast. We provide real-time fact-checking during major political events, PMQs, debates, and breaking news to stop false claims before they go viral.
FactCheckly is an independent, non-profit organization. We're building sustainable funding through:
What we don't accept: We do not accept funding from political parties, government bodies, partisan campaigns, or organizations with conflicts of interest. This ensures our independence and editorial freedom.
We're committed to full transparency. As we grow, we'll publish annual reports detailing our funding sources, expenditure, and organizational structure.
We don't just fact-check individual claims—we track patterns of misinformation over time. Our ranking system creates accountability by showing which public figures consistently spread false information.
We fact-check live during PMQs, debates, and major political events. When false claims are made, we verify them immediately—not days later when the damage is done.
We go beyond individual fact-checks to analyze misinformation trends, identify recurring false narratives, and expose coordinated disinformation campaigns.
Our fact-checks are free, easy to understand, and available to everyone. No paywalls, no jargon—just clear, evidence-based verification anyone can use.
FactCheckly operates as an independent fact-checking organization based in the United Kingdom. We are in the process of registering as a Community Interest Company (CIC) to formalize our non-profit status and commitment to public benefit.
We take accuracy extremely seriously. If we make an error in any fact-check or analysis:
Any public figure featured in our fact-checks or on The Bullshit Index has the right to submit additional evidence or context. We will review all submissions and update our content if new evidence warrants it. Contact us at corrections@factcheckly.com.
If you believe we've made an error or treated a claim unfairly:
All fact-checks on FactCheckly are based on verifiable evidence from reliable sources. We fact-check public statements, not personal character. Our rankings reflect objectively measurable data about statement accuracy. We welcome scrutiny and stand by our work.
