Fact check: ‘Welfare bill’ cost and tracking Labour’s pledges

Round-up of fact checks from the last week compiled by Full Fact.



Full Fact investigated claims about the UK's "welfare bill," finding that figures cited by Labour leaders referring to a £70 billion cost related specifically to working-age health and disability benefits, not overall welfare spending. Full Fact's Government Tracker, monitoring 51 Labour pledges, reveals progress on some commitments but finds a lack of clarity in nearly a quarter of the pledges, hindering meaningful assessment.
