Do you listen to 'more or less' on radio 4? It goes through stats used by all the parties but also news programmes and papers etc. It's pretty scandalous how much everyone bends or makes up stats for their own agenda. It's a shame it's tucked away on radio 4 as if there was more calling out of blatant lies targeted at a wider audience we might actually be able to debate like adults.

Cameron claims just 2% of jobs created in the last 5 years are on zero hours contract.
The ONS figures show this to be 28%.
I don't think there has been a more mendacious Government than this current one. They routinely lie when presenting data, yet no-one calls them out on this. Take the deficit, they claim they've reduced it yet the amount they've borrowed in this parliament is more than the last Labour government.
