How the law works
A simple mechanism is at the heart of the legislation​​​...
​
"14 days to clarify, correct or retract a statement of fact if challenged. Or choose to defend it in court"​​
This simple mechanism prevents lies and also makes politicians act honourably instead of fuelling the crisis in public trust.
Across the UK, 91% of people don't trust politicians.​​​​​​​​​ In London, it's 97% and 98% for under 24's.​​
“Trust in politicians has fallen below previous lowest score, recorded after the 2009 expenses crisis.”
