So properly like so many other I don’t trust 99.9% of politicians as far as I can throw them!
I been looking for some unbiased, fact biased website to double check what they are saying.

Below is what I have found, is there any others I missed that are good?

https://fullfact.org/

News websites that are good?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/reality_check
https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck
https://theferret.scot/fact-check/

I have found this, interesting site!
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/filtered-search/
Just select UK, can search other names etc.

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fact-checking_websites#United_Kingdom )
United Kingdom[edit]
• BBC Reality Check[31]
• Full Fact:[32] An independent fact-checking organisation based in the UK which aims to "promote accuracy in public debate", launched in 2009.
• The FactCheck blog:[33] A fact-checking blog run by the Channel 4 News organization in the UK.

LOL, wonder how long before that came up!
What they did I think was underhanded and prop to ask the above.

Snopes is OK for a lot of social media stories.

I rely on STW; independent, unbiased and not tainted by personal opinions.

Every time I see Boris Johnson I automatically think Fact Hunt.

I always reckon the Financial Times is neutral and largely fact based.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/filtered-search/ seems to agree with my assessment.

https://fullfact.org/
is my go to fact checker but it does seem (to me) to occasionally stray beyond pure fact checking and into wider context which often starts to look to me like opinon.
