14 claims checked against independent sources, chosen by a fixed rule (every material claim (one that supports an argument, a policy or an attack) in the transcripts that count towards a score; in other transcripts, up to 10 claims spread evenly across each; plus any claim an emotional passage relies on). 0 more were found but not checked yet; they do not count.
Quotes leave out filler sounds and repeated words. Words in [square brackets] correct a transcript that misheard or misspelt them. The transcript keeps every word as published.

“an MP earns about £92,000 a year”

IPSA set the MP basic salary at £93,904 from 1 April 2025, so about £92,000 is close.

“We voluntarily ended the slave trade.”
Claim checkedBritain ended its participation in the transatlantic slave trade by its own decision (the 1807 Slave Trade Act), not under outside compulsion.
Parliament passed the Slave Trade Act in 1807, declaring slave trading by British subjects 'utterly abolished, prohibited and declared to be unlawful'. No outside power forced the Act; Britain then set up the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron in 1808, which seized more than 1,500 slave ships by 1860. The Act ended the trade only. Slavery itself continued in British colonies until the 1830s, which the statement does not deny.

“somewhere between 3 and 5 trillion, maybe a bit more, which is probably 200% of GDP that’s not even on the balance sheet”
Claim checkedIn late 2025, the UK had between £3 trillion and £5 trillion (about 200% of GDP) of liabilities, such as civil service pensions, that do not appear on the government balance sheet.
The Whole of Government Accounts do show public sector pension liabilities of about £1.3–1.4 trillion (£1,312bn at March 2024, £1,396bn at March 2025), and these are left out of headline public sector net debt. They do not support a hidden £3–5 trillion figure. The future cost of the state pension is not recognised in the accounts, but no official figure for it was found here. The statement's own numbers also do not fit: £3–5 trillion is about 110–170% of GDP, not 200%.

“she told a few porkies about her CV”
Claim checkedRachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, put false details about her career on her CV.
Reports in late 2024 found Rachel Reeves's online CV overstated her time at the Bank of England and described a retail banking role as "economist"; her spokesperson said the dates were inaccurate through an administrative mistake. The inaccuracies are documented; that they were deliberate is not.

“I think we send £130 million a year to Pakistan.”
Claim checkedIn late 2025, the UK gave Pakistan about £130 million a year in overseas aid.
FCDO accounts show programme aid to Pakistan of £100.6 million in 2024-25, with £102.5 million planned for 2025-26. Total UK bilateral aid to Pakistan was £57.8 million in 2022 and £68.7 million in 2023. The UK does send Pakistan around £100 million a year, but £130 million overstates the recent figures.

“the 9 million people of working age who aren’t contributing to our society”
Claim checkedAbout 9 million people of working age in the UK are not working or contributing to society.
The ONS estimated 9.08 million people aged 16 to 64 were economically inactive in July to September 2025, so the number is right; but it counts students, carers, the long-term sick and early retirees, so it does not measure people "not contributing to society".

“I think I’m right in saying 13% of new car registrations is motability.”
Claim checkedAbout 13% of new car registrations in the UK in late 2025 were vehicles for the Motability scheme.
Motability is a large share of UK new car registrations, but the 13% figure is out of date and too low. Bloomberg reported that Motability took 18.8% of new vehicles in 2024, and Fleet News reported a 19% share in the first half of 2025, up from 14% in the same period of 2023.

Claim checkedUnder the Motability scheme, recipients get a new taxpayer-funded car every three years.
Most Motability car leases last three years, after which the customer can choose a new vehicle; wheelchair-accessible vehicle leases usually last five.

“the danger in the budget tomorrow is that Rachel Reeves does lift the two child caps”
Claim checkedThe Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, intended to lift the two-child limit on benefits in the Budget of 26 November 2025.
In the Budget on 26 November 2025, the government announced that it would remove the two-child limit on the child element of Universal Credit from April 2026, as had been widely expected. The statement correctly anticipated this; whether lifting the limit is a 'danger' is opinion and was not checked.

“the Metropolitan Police arrived, mob handed and took my guns away and it took me about five months to get them back”
Claim checkedAfter Reform UK figures made allegations against Rupert Lowe, police in the Metropolitan Police investigation seized his guns in a large armed visit, and he got them back about five months later.
The Metropolitan Police opened an investigation in March 2025 into alleged threats by Rupert Lowe against Zia Yusuf. On 14 March 2025, four armed officers in three vehicles came to his farm and took away his guns. The CPS decided in May 2025 not to charge, and the guns were returned in late August 2025, about five months later. The sources do not say which force sent the officers who collected the guns.
