How you can help us
We always need help to check the claims that people make. If you have evidence that supports or undermines a claim we are investigating, we’d love to hear from you.
It could be an eye-witness statement, a link to a website, a photo, a video, a document or the name of an expert you think we should talk to.
We will always independently verify the information you send. Any information we cannot verify, will not be published. We may not publish all the information we receive.
Thanks for your help
