"Elections are famous for spin. Whether you call it being creative with the facts or downright lying - it can be hard to filter out the truth.

Our election is 49 days away. Politicians and party spin doctors are gearing up. 38 Degrees members are busy across the country campaigning on the NHS, tax dodging and the TTIP trade deal - but with facts and spin and counter-spin flying around, we need to be sure of what’s true.

That’s where Full Fact come in. They’re an independent, neutral organisation - and they’re planning to fact check the election. They’ve persuaded some of the country’s top researchers, statisticians and lawyers to volunteer to debunk myths, respond quickly to lies and point out when the media’s bought the spin.

Just a few months ago, Full Fact produced a briefing on the trade deal TTIP which simplified the mess of complex international law into a few pages. [3] Thousands of 38 Degrees members have sent it to their MPs so far. That’s just one example of how useful Full Fact can be.

38 Degrees members voted together to call politicians out on spin and lies during this election. [4] Full Fact operating at full strength (sorry) would make sure we can do this. And if we can help them get off the ground, we know we’ll have helped keep this election as honest as possible.
