Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is planning a £46 billion “unfunded” tax cut, comparable with the £45 billion of “unfunded” tax cuts which Liz Truss’s government announced

Publisher’s rating: Evaluation: Missing context. Rishi Sunak’s Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has indicated that the Conservative Party wants to abolish the part of national insurance that workers pay, but has been clear that it is a long-term ambition. Mr Sunak and Mr Hunt have not made a firm policy pledge, nor have they identified how it would be paid for. Labour has yet to receive an answer after asking the Government several times to explain how it might fund an abolition of national insurance payments for workers.

Publisher’s rating: False

Post no X afirma que a Tesla, montadora de Elon Musk, perdeu R$ 186 bilhões em valor de mercado e irá demitir 15% dos funcionários no mundo inteiro, após um embate formado entre o empresário e o ministro do STF Alexandre de Moraes nas redes sociais, no dia 6 de abril.

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The review says Tesla’s share-price decline was not caused by Elon Musk’s attacks on Alexandre de Moraes; it attributes the decline to a slowdown in the electric-car market and ordinary fluctuations in technology companies. It also says Tesla planned to cut 10% of its workforce, not 15%, and found no evidence linking the layoffs to the dispute with Moraes.
