Plain Politics
About this site
Plain Politics is a plain-English starter for people who want to understand UK politics without spin, predictions or voting advice.
How to read it
Start with a local question, then follow the words, public records and source links as far as you want to go. When the site cannot verify something from public evidence, it says so.
- No source means no factual claim.
- Public records are shown carefully, without guessing motive or local impact.
- The site does not predict elections or tell people how to vote.
- Postcode lookups are not stored by default.
- Source problems and missing evidence can be reported.
Independent and unaffiliated
Plain Politics is an independent information project. It is not affiliated with a political party, Parliament, a government department or an election authority.
Sources and update times
Live panels identify their public source and show when data was checked through the app cache. Parliament responses may be cached for up to five minutes.
Corrections and contact
Report a source problem, unclear explanation or correction by emailing info@plainpolitics.co.uk. Include the page URL and the public record that appears wrong where possible.
