In 1991, Chandra Shekhar government pledged about 1 lakh kg of gold to foreign banks. Recently, the Modi-led BJP government brought this gold back to India.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The review says India pledged 46.91 tonnes of gold during the 1990–91 foreign-exchange crisis and repaid the loan between September and November 1991. The 100 tonnes moved to domestic vaults in 2023–24 were not that pledged gold, which had already been returned; the RBI still held 413.79 tonnes abroad as of 31 March 2024.

Die EU will das Bargeld bis 2030 abschaffen.
Publisher’s rating: Die EU plant nicht, Bargeld abzuschaffen. Euro-Banknoten und -Münzen sind in derzeit 20 EU-Staaten «gesetzliches Zahlungsmittel» - und das ist bereits seit über 20 Jahren im EU-Recht verankert. Mit einer vor knapp einem Jahr erlassenen Euro-Bargeld-Verordnung will die EU-Kommission das Bargeld sogar weiter stärken.
Fact check: It is not clear how many delivery drivers are working illegally
Publisher’s rating: Evidence on the exact number of delivery drivers operating illegally is scarce. Figures from the Home Office and media reports suggest some workers have been found to be working illegally, with one article saying that 42% of riders stopped during one enforcement operation in 2023 did not have correct documentation. Reform did not provide a source to support its figure.

Fact check: What age do most people buy their first home?
Publisher’s rating: The most recent available figures put 36 as the average age for owning a home. This means Sir Keir’s first mention of this was accurate, but his subsequent claim hinges on what we view as our ‘late 30s’. Some people might not like to say this starts at 36, even if it is in the latter half of the decade.
SUBIDÓN del paro Juvenil en España
Publisher’s rating: Falso
The review says the unemployment figures cited for Spain were accurate, but they did not show a surge. Eurostat data showed youth unemployment declining from January through April 2024.
