New — Put It In Scale

Not a topic summary — one claim, checked.

The pages below summarise a whole subject in one image. Put It In Scale is different: each card takes one specific claim people actually repeat — “8.4 million on Universal Credit”, “Labour won on a minority of the vote” — and shows the number that puts it in context, in about ten seconds.
