Parliament should champion honesty by owning up to mistakes.

MPs often talk about rebuilding trust in politics. This is an easy way to show they mean it.

How - after nearly 150k deaths from or linked to Covid - can the government *possibly* not commit to a robust, independent, public inquiry?

In medicine, we learn from our mistakes. They help us do better next time.

There are 150k reasons why this inquiry needs to happen - now.

Full Fact Ross Clark Here's the chart as published by Mail+ and created by Jon O'Donnell (@Stat_O_Guy) for Ross Clark, with clarifications by @PoliticalASA and myself.

And note Full Fact it was a week 44 chart, not 45. They replaced wk44 chart in wk46 but with wk45 data, not the latest.

A_thankless_task Philip Montgomery James Neill  β‰  𝕏 Full Fact Ross Clark Mail+ The Statistics Lie, Jon FakeStatOGuy is a civil servant who freelanced that graph for the Daily Fail

I'm assuming one of the two journos who put their name to the story saw FakeStatOGuy's graph on social media & thought it would be a good graph to include in their story as 'evidence'

We're pleased that the Daily Mail have issued a correction in the print edition of today's paper.

But it's not right that this has taken almost four months.

We will continue to work hard to fight for timely and appropriate corrections and to hold the media to account.
