Buried in this BBC Verify feed, amongst stories about Ukraine, Israel, and Iraq, is the question, "Is Jenrick right about unsolved crime?" To which, the BBC says "Not quite". The real answer should be 'no, not at all.' 🧵 1/2 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy...
2/2 Jenrick claims 93% of crime is unsolved. If we look at Home Office stats he ignores other outcomes like cautions, victims not supporting prosecution, etc. Only 39% of investigations end without an identified suspect. And the level of Charging/Summons has been pretty consistent for 5-6 years.
"The UK's first "super-university", stretching across an entire region..." Eh? University of Wales, when founded in 1893, stretched from Cardiff to Aberystwyth and Bangor. The University of the Highlands and Islands stretches across 10 sited, from Dunoon to Lerwick. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
