Multiple outlets report on fact checks compiled by Full Fact that challenge two pieces of viral content. One issue concerns an image circulating online that appears to show “Andy Burnham” in a way that is presented as authentic. The fact-checks say the image is AI-generated or otherwise not genuine, meaning it should not be treated as a real photograph or confirmed depiction of the politician.
A second issue involves a video related to Blackburn. In the fact checks, Full Fact says the footage is miscaptioned—either attributed to the wrong event, time, place, or subject—so the caption attached to the video does not match what the video actually shows. The outlets stress that the inaccurate framing could mislead viewers about the underlying incident.
The reports frame these corrections as part of a broader round-up of recent fact-checks, highlighting that both the AI image and the Blackburn video’s accompanying description are presented inaccurately in the versions that have circulated online.
