“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?”
Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth.
Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.

People still claim Labour do nothing to help our armed forces & veterans.
But that is not true.
To mark the launch of the government's new Veterans Strategy, here is veterans minister Louise Sandher-Jones telling you what it is all about & how it's a joined up approach to helping veterans.
But that is not true.

Did you know that our Labour government are delivering the biggest boost to social housing in a generation?
£39bn investment committed so far.
Isn't that what you all wanted to see?

And with no hint of shame, humility or personal responsibility, the Tory who detonated the economy with his mini budget and whose party trashed the place with austerity and Brexit, then scorched the earth with unaffordable pre-election tax cuts, tells Reeves to apologise.

Another video showing the human side of our PM.
He really is a decent, normal human being, who knows how to actually talk to people.
Here he is talking about the expansion of the Warm Homes Discount to 6m people in total.

I love that Labour are STILL really pushing out the posts and content about their Renters Right Act.
Get the info out there and repeat it regularly and with new content and new approaches.
It doesn't work if you post once and hope it reaches people. Keep doing it, like Steve Reed is doing here!
