Create an independent political advertising standards panel.
Never again can the British public be duped by twisted facts, stats and untruths. All published or broadcast (party political broadcasts) statements must pass through the independent fact checking panel. Any statement found incorrect or a deceitful way of twisting the stats needs to be retracted.
We have the Advertising Standards Authority: ASA to protect the public from misleading, harmful or offensive advertisements. We should also have the same for any political statements or publications.
It is understood that this would not work in PMQs, the house or in TV interviews but it would allow those MPs that get their facts checked an upper hand in debates.
With limited views in media, the British public could do with a dedicated source of "spin free" facts and statistics
