Require unbias, peer-reviewed statistics to be displayed in UK political debates
Mandate Ofcom/Cabinet Office rules: debate stats must use peer-reviewed/official sources, disclose methods/normalisation, and show 5–10-year trends with uncertainty. Include data normaliseation i.e. normlaised by population. Use Universities to train an open, audited model to present data neutrally.
Transparency is essential to understand issues. Core metrics—e.g., tax spend by sector and sectoral growth—should be shown with long-run context, per-capita/real-terms normalisation, and clear uncertainty. Sources must be cited (ONS/UKSA/peer-reviewed), data and code open, and visuals accessible (plain language, colour-safe). Every debate topic should be backed by fairly presented, peer-reviewed evidence with definitions and methods disclosed.

We are not clear what type of debates you are referring to, and if you would like these new requirements to be displayed in some way.
You could start a new petition setting out the specific action you are calling for more clearly.
