During Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday December 11, Sir Keir Starmer said: “In Scotland, housebuilding has ground to a halt.”

Publisher’s rating: The number of houses being started and completed in Scotland has fallen this year, in a downward trend, and there have been reports of building at sites stalling. However, it has not “ground to a halt” – during the last quarter with available statistics there were still more than half the number of houses being started as in 2022.

රාජ්‍ය සේවයේ ලක්ෂ 5කට වැඩි සේවක කප්පාදුවකට, ජනාධිපති අනුර උපදෙස් දුන්නා ද?

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

Fact Crescendo reports that the post attributed a proposed public-service reduction to President Anura, but the cited remarks were made by senior presidential adviser Duminda Hulangamuwa. The review says the President’s Media Division confirmed there was no decision to remove public employees, describing the government’s approach instead as restructuring and improving productivity.
